Trade Away!

These days, trying to trade with other fellow Heroes can be tough. Negotiating prices, traveling to meet the trader, and even making sure you don't get screwed over can leave a Hero feeling rather discouraged.That's why Herocraft has a few things on the server, created specifically to cater to your every need when you're trying to secure that deal.

The first thing every hero should know about is how to ensure that you won't be tricked and lose coin and/or valuable items. As you may have noticed, there are several chat channels on the server, each one with their own purpose. One chat channel every player should know about is the Trade Channel (/ch t). The purpose for this channel is to discuss anything trade related. This is for negotiating prices, looking for buyers and sellers of both items and services, and for making all trade deals "official".

When a deal is made in trade chat, it becomes official, therefor you never have to worry about paying the other player and them not giving you the other side of the deal. Though the entire negotiating process can take place in "/tell"'s, only the basics of the deal need to be said (and mutually agreed on) in chat.

When your trade has gone the proper way and it's time to meet up with someone and exchange items, Herocraft has a server-side interaction, similar to the trading interaction you get when you trade with villagers.

To open up this interaction, right click the player with an empty hand to send a trade request. They can accept the request by doing the same.

To add items into the trade, simply move them into the box as you would when crafting. To add coin to the trade, you can click the gold nuggets, ingots, and blocks to increase the amount of coin sent by 1c, 10c, and 100c.

This is a secure way to trade items and once both players are happy with the transaction, they can click the green wool to complete it. The trade will only go through if both players have clicked the green wool.

If you're not trading items but looking to trade services for coin, you can send money by using the "/Money Pay [Player] [Amount]" command. Just make sure you fully spell out the player's name, otherwise it won't work properly.

Lastly - If you're ever uncertain about what the general market price is on an item, you can always go on the forums and check out MajorasMask's General Prices Thread in the trade section. Most items will be found here with a listing of the current average market price. This should only be used as a guide and not for exact amounts  as all players have their own deals and prices.
