Hi everybody,
In order to facilitate and centralise the trading of curios, the
curiomarket has been developed. Its purpose is to offer a unified
ingame platform for buy and sell orders. As part of this a series of
quality of life changes have also been made to existing curio commands,
with a few extra new ones that hopefully will mean players will feel
more positive about curios.
New syntax:
CURIOMARKET SHOW <BUY|SELL> [ALL|SET|PIECE] [<pattern>]
CURIOMARKET SHOW <BUY|SELL> FULFILLABLE
CURIOMARKET ADD <BUY|SELL> <SET|PIECE> <id> FOR <amount|id>
<SET|PIECE|GOLD|CREDITS>
CURIOMARKET ADD SELL <SET|PIECE> <id> FOR ANY
CURIOMARKET FULFIL <order> WITH <amount|id> <SET|PIECE|GOLD|CREDITS>
CURIOMARKET REMOVE <order>
CURIOMARKET REVIEW <BUY|SELL>
CURIOMARKET WATCH <BUY|SELL> <SET|PIECE> <id>
CURIOMARKET WATCH REMOVE <id>
CURIOMARKET WATCH LIST <BUY|SELL>
CURIOMARKET COMPLETE <partial> FOR <amount> <GOLD|CREDITS> [CONFIRM]
CURIOMARKET VIEW <COLLECTIONS|SETS|PIECES> [<pattern>]
CURIOMARKET VIEW <COLLECTION|SET> <id>
Players can now buy or sell curio pieces or completed sets for another
piece, another set, credits or gold. It is possible to complete an order
at any time, without the need for the other party to be online or
present. Both parties will receive a message, even when offline, with
the details of the completed order. Orders will come with a fee of 500
gold for a piece and 5000 gold for a set upon listing, this is both a
convenience tax and a way to deter flooding the market. With the ANY
keyword the cost goes to the completing party, as the offering party
doesn't know what they will get.
In order to help players discover what curios are available, the
CURIOMARKET VIEW commands offer access to an always up-to-date database
of all collections, sets and pieces.
As a note, the COMPLETE will only place up buy orders, not fulfill any
existing sell orders.
A watch functionality was also implemented to make it easy to keep an
eye out for offers that are of interest to you.
New and adjusted syntax:
CURIO LIST [ALL|COMPLETE|PARTIAL(S)|PIECE(S)] [<pattern>]
CURIO LIST [SET|COLLECTION] <name>
CURIO SUMMARY [<collection>]
CURIO TRADE <COMPLETE|PIECE> <curio> TO <person> FOR <amount|id>
<COMPLETE|PIECE|GOLD|CREDITS>
CURIO COMPLETE <curio>
CURIO RUB <ALL|PIECE> <curio>
CURIO RUB <INCLUDE|EXCLUDE> <curio>
The old CURIOS commands have been removed and turned into CURIO LIST.
You can now search all list types for patterns, or use the SET and
COLLECTION lists.
Mass rubbing now possible without using a script, with of course the
possibility to skip over certain pieces should you wish to hang on to
them. You will still get the output for everything, as some players want
to keep seeing that. Note that if you hold on to a lot of pieces you
will get a lot of output!
Direct trading has been merged with the old transfer command into one
command. You will still need to ask the other party for the id of the
piece or complete set.
A great help should be the COMPLETE command, which allows you to target
a piece or existing partial and combine it with what you have in your
inventory.
And finally the summary is there to give you a roster type overview of
what pieces you are holding. If pieces are a part of a partial they will
be counted but marked with an asterisk. Helpful to let you see what you
might want to make orders for, or trade with others.
For further information we'd like to refer you to HELP CURIOMARKET and
HELP CURIOS.
