Marketplace

Introduced in the The Slumbering Giant event, the Marketplace is the main point of commerce in the world of Dereth. Players come here to trade, buy goods from the marketplace bots in the vendor stalls and sometimes hold auctions.

MMD Trade Notes are regularly used as the exchange medium for trade bots at the Marketplace.

Getting to the Marketplace

Type @marketplace, @mp or use the portal in the south hall of the Town Network.

Wings of the Marketplace

Each of the four wings of the marketplace has a number of stalls where players can sell their wares. Trade bots should not be placed in the main foyer.

North East Room

This room is used for Portal Bots.

North West Room

The NW room is for Tinkering bots.

South Rooms

These are the main trading rooms where many Trade Bots are usually found.

Correct usage of the rooms

Although players are free to use any of the four outlying rooms, players should use the vendor stalls and not set up their bots in the main room of the marketplace or in the corridors. Players offering buffs or tinkers can use the vendor stalls and the second floors in the outlying rooms. This is intended to improve Marketplace visual performance for all players.

Envoys have the authority to move players that do not follow the marketplace guidelines.
