How to Create Buy Orders for Needed Materials
Placing a New Buy Order
If you need specific crafting materials—such as andesite alloy—and cannot find them among active listings, you can post a buy order requesting other players to supply them.
1. Enter /ah into chat and press Enter to open the market interface.
2. Navigate to the order creation section of the menu.
3. Choose the item you wish to buy and specify the quantity you need.
4. Input the amount of Numismatics bank currency you are willing to pay for the order.
5. Submit the order to make it visible on the public market.
Tracking and Fulfilling Orders
Once an order is active on the market:
- Other players can view your listing and fulfill it directly by supplying the requested items in exchange for your deposited bank currency.
- You can keep track of fulfilled trades and changes in your wealth by checking the transaction history screen, which records trade logs and graphs account value.
- You can also view the server leaderboard screen to check top player balances and monitor the overall health of the player economy.
