Overview
Moonstone Market is a player-driven trading district where adventurers can rent their own plots and build unique businesses alongside other merchants. Players can design, decorate, and customize their rented space to create shops that reflect their personal style and business.
Merchants may sell a wide variety of goods, including food, armor, weapons, potions, materials, tools, and other crafted items. Moonstone Market encourages players to become part of Zelvaria's growing economy through trading, business development, and player interaction.
Plot rental
Each approved merchant is allocated a designated rented plot within Moonstone Market. The plot is the player's personal business space and may be developed into a shop, stall, workshop, or other marketplace establishment.
Players may customize their rented plot with:
- Shop buildings and structures
- Display areas and item showcases
- Counters and storage areas
- Signs, banners, and decorations
- Themed designs for their business
Plots must stay within the marketplace's building guidelines and may be inspected by marketplace administrators to ensure they comply with the rules.
Business ownership
Players are responsible for managing and developing their own businesses. Each merchant chooses what products to sell, how to decorate their shop, and how to attract customers.
Merchants may also work with other adventurers by hiring trusted players to help run their business, depending on the marketplace rules. See the Worker System.
Successful businesses can build a reputation among adventurers and become well-known destinations within Moonstone Market.
How to start a business
- Go to Moonstone Market.
- Choose an available plot.
- Pay the required rental price.
- Build and customize your shop.
- Stock your products and start doing business.
Safety
Because trades are player-managed, always exercise caution when making a transaction:
- Confirm the item and quantity before trading.
- Clearly agree on the price beforehand.
- Verify that payment has been received.
- Avoid suspicious or rushed deals.
- Report suspected scams to the administration.
Scamming, fraudulent transactions, or intentionally misleading other players may result in an administrative investigation and penalties.
The administration may assist with investigations when there is evidence of rule violations, but players are ultimately responsible for exercising caution during their trades.
Purpose
Moonstone Market is designed to create a living, player-driven economy within Zelvaria. Instead of relying solely on NPC merchants, adventurers can establish their own businesses, build unique shops, negotiate with customers, and compete with other merchants.
Whether you are opening a small food stall, an armor shop, a weapons store, or a specialized trading business, Moonstone Market gives every player the opportunity to build their own place within Zelvaria's economy.
