What exactly is Peddling?
Peddling is a very handy way to sell your items (weapons, food, pets, etc.) to other players in the game. This is also called opening a "stall" or "booth".
The store is your own personal little shop where other players can visit and purchase items or leave questions/feedback in a dedicated pane.
Why is Peddling a good feature?
Peddling is a fantastic feature – take advantage of it! The reason this is so helpful is because you will be able to take part in the game’s economy. You can also make a larger profit off of your items compared to reselling the items to an NPC. Merchants are great for selling when it comes to junk, but if you get an item that another player can use, Peddling is the best route.
So, you think you can sell?
Peddling sounds like a good feature, but how do you use it? First, you need to make sure you meet the requirements.
The following requirements need to be met in order for you to open your own stall:
- You cannot open a stall with your pet summoned.
- You cannot open a stall while you are mounted.
- You must be at least level 15 to open a stall.
Great! Now you’re ready to open your stall, right? Not really. There’s one more thing you need to keep in mind before you try to open your stall. If you don’t follow the next step, you’ll have a very difficult time figuring out where to set up shop.
- There are specific areas in town where you can open your stall.
For example, most people like to open their shops in Su Zhou near the main Teleport area. This is fine, but if it’s too crowded for you, it’s possible to open one in another town.
There are two other great spots for selling. One is located in Lou Yang, right where you teleport into town. The other is located in Lou Yang as well, near the second teleport spot – right between the teleport NPC and the Pet Island teleport NPC.
Try going to So Zhou to take a look at the shops there. You’ll get an idea of the placement required to open a shop.
Here are a few user submitted tips about Peddling:
“Go to other shops and check their prices on the things you’re selling. Then decide if u want to sell lower, the same or higher than their price based on the current market.”
“Players who want to earn quick money should sell their materials at the given market price. Of course, overpricing the materials would make no one interested in them.”
“Only sell materials that are inexpensive and leave the more rare items for player-to-player trade.”
“Players who have lots of time can peddle and sell their materials at a higher price than the market value of it. For example, a Tiger Eye gem is worth 8 gold market price, the player can sell it for 10 gold or even 12 gold (understanding that players WILL be interested in such gems).”
“DO NOT SELL YOUR RARES IN YOUR PEDDLE SHOP! If you must, do this only if you are in desperate need of money. Otherwise, don’t shoot for this option.”
“Always remember that the peddle shops takes away 8% of what your total earnings are. Say an item is worth 100 gold, if you round it up, the system will deduct 10 gold from you and you only gain 90 gold.”
