Trading Rules

The systems of trading allow players to trade items and gold between themselves, as well as offer ways to purchase unique magic items and crafting materials. It is important to note that the use of all of these systems are within the context of downtime and cannot be employed while you are inventory or RP locked.

Player-to-Player Trading

The methods of trading between players occur either directly, or through a middleman, which can be the Great Bazaar Trading or your faction's bank.

Direct Trading

Direct Trading governs when you wish to trade something with another player face-to-face. This kind of trade requires you and any other involved players to meet in character and roleplay the exchange. The benefit to this kind of trade is that it is completely within the control of the players how the trade is settled; bargaining, bartering, deception, favors, and so on. However the trade is conducted, it must be approved and logged by an Economy DM.
One of the trading players (you will decide amongst yourselves who) must initiate the trade process by making a post in the #trading-log-and-consumables channel in Discord, using the following format:

@economy @[yourself] is buying/selling/giving/trading [Items/Gold] to @[other players] for [list all terms of the trade].
#[the discord channel you and the other players roleplayed the trade]
Starting Gold: #
Leftover Gold: #

---

Player A Example:
@economy @Player A is selling +1 Best Longsword to @Player B for 500 gp.
#the-party-barge
Starting gold: 800 gp
Leftover gold: 300 gp

After this initial player makes their post, all other respective players will confirm the terms by making a quick post with the following format:

@[the initial player] confirmed

---

Player B Example:
@Player A confirmed

This indicates that terms are acceptable by all players in the trade, so read the fine print before you post "confirmed". When this has been done, an Economy DM will react to the "confirmed" posts with a thumbs-up. All players in the trade must wait for this thumbs-up reaction before you can edit your character sheet inventories. The discord channel in which the trade took place must be linked in order for the Economy DM to verify that the trade is legitimate - metagaming will not be tolerated.

Faction Bank

This type of item exchange is rather straightforward. Depositing and withdrawing items from a faction bank are generally instantaneous due to fluid time, so one player can deposit an item into their bank for another to withdraw immediately after without having to be in the same location. Obviously, this only works between players in the same faction, but a benefit of the convenience of fluid time.
