Setting up a regular stall Edit

A player can easily set up a free stall in the game via the shortcut key [P] or the [Stall] button (lower right hand menu of the backpack).

A stall will last for one hour after you set it up. If you need more time and have the money, you can look into World Stalls or reset your stall every hour.

Be sure to give your stall an enticing name that will attract customers.

Create a custom slogan to shout it out and attract customers! The system will automatically yell it out for you periodically.

All players will have 30 stall boxes to sell or buy from while Jianghu VIPs get 60 stall boxes. VIP's can keep selling set up stalls prior going offline in which case the stall will be open for 4 hours.

Life Service: Prices are set here.

Transaction Record: The 50 most recent transactions.

Message Record: The 50 most recent messages left by other players.

Setting up a World Stall Edit

These cost money and work only in certain spots: "The government has set up bustling markets in particularly prosperous places where people sell everything from weapons and armor to food and medicine."

Starting at midnight on Monday's a bidding period starts during which player compete for two days for the right to operate a World Stall. During this period you can click on a stall to open its interface, and check out the highest price at the moment. You can then enter your bid:

• the starting price is 1 Tael
• each bid must be at least 10% higher than the previous bid
• the amount in Tael a player has bid will immediately be deducted from the player's travel bag independently if they player has won or not
• ff someone outbids you then you won't get your bids back but you will be hit with a government tax.

After the bidding period ends at Midnight on Wednesday all players who have won a bid will receive their stall operating rights. Players can then click on their stalls to open a stall interface. On the Stall page you can select a unique look for the stall, and on the Hire page you can hire a seller to man it (instead of running it yourself as a regular stall requires). These options have extra fees.

Unsold stalls fail the auction period. At this time, Players who hold "Government Certificates" can "Levy the Stalls". In the Levy Interface, click the "Levy Button", you must have enough Government Certificates in your inventory.

In the last page of stall settings players can place items for sale, set prices for the items, and decide when to "Start Stall" and when to "End Stall". When you click on "Start Stall", other players can click on your shop to see the items you are selling.

When you sell an item from the Stall, the Silver will be sent to you through System Email. Of course, the System will also automatically deduct 1% out of the sales as a tax.

At the bottom of the Stall Interface, there is a countdown time for the Stall Leasing Period. When the countdown time ends, all Stalls will be taken back by the government to start the next round of bidding.
