Welcome to 9Dragon guide on the marketplace. There is now a large amount of vendors , and can be very hard to shop becuase of so many stalls, and hard to vend due to competitive prices. Respond with anything you would like added and I will update it. Enjoy.

For the Seller:

1) Make sure you know the prices of the things you want to sell, or they will never sell. There is a strategy to selling, and that is if you want to sell fast, make it cheaper. if you are patient, you can bump up the price a little bit. People are starting to get a little richer now, so paying a little extra shouldn't be a problem.

2) refinement material. You know who you are. Selling 1 and 2 refinements at twice sometimes thrice thier price at the general store only 10 steps away. You're taking advantage of people's ignorance. That says a lot about your character

3) Get in a guild to consult them for prices. Most guild creators played either closed beta or the overseas server of 9dragons and know prices very well.

4) Players want the blues^^. You can feed white weapons to the NPC becuase when shoppers are looking around they are often wanting blue weapons. They are much better than whites.

For the Buyer:

1) Watch out for the said refinement material scammers above. They are trying to get into your pockets. You can buy 1 refiner and 2 at the general store in Hefei. Use your NPC finder to look for him.

2) Don't go to the market place unless you are intending to buy something like a weapon. If you are just bored of leveling and want to shop around, chances are you might accidentally buy worthless crap that isn't that good, or is overpriced.

3) Be patient. I know that lag and you have to click a stall like 20 times until it opens. But if you settle for something because you are in a hurry, you could miss that same item that is thousands cheaper at another stall. For instance, I bought a lightfoot scroll that was 100,000 becuase I just wanted to see it REALLLY BAD, and I learned it. I ran around a bit and had my fun, then went back to look for a weapon. The first stall I looked in was my lightfoot scroll for 35,000!!! I could have saved 65,000 if I had been more patient.

4) Watch out for the things that you can get yourself. I'm talking about mob drops, Knife of white shadow's drops, and some accessories. The only exception are the cookbooks and gunpowders, which can only be farmed by black clans. Knife of shadows dodge relics are being sold at the rediculous price of 300,00 or more. and the earrings are being sold for 50k or more. The drop rate for Knife of shadows items really aren't that bad. You could kill him 10 times and will most likely get one rare drop. The most common mob that people dont know about are the iron flowers in death valley. Those will drop a lot of the loot you need for the death valley collection quests.

5) Check durability on weapons. A lot of people like to sell the weapons they have grown out of (I personally donate them for clan points).

ADVICE FOR THE BUYER AND SELLER:
Buy a crane-embroidered satchet(edited from patch), the one that regens 15 VE and wear it in peace mode whenever you are shopping or vending. This way you can keep your passives on and level them up.
