Do I need to install Ax Trade Plugin on my own computer to trade?
No. It is a server-side plugin, so you join with your normal game client and the server handles the whole trade. Only the server owner installs it.
How do I put items into a trade?
Move items from your inventory into your side of the trade window. The other player sees what you add, and you see what they add on their side. Nothing gets dropped on the ground, so nobody can grab items mid-swap.
Can I trade money instead of items, or both at once?
Yes. You can add server money to your side of the trade, alone or together with items. The plugin supports multiple currencies, so you can pick which type of server cash you're offering.
How do I avoid getting scammed in a trade?
Check the other player's side of the window carefully before you confirm, including item counts and the exact amount and type of currency. If anything changes after you've looked, go over the whole offer again before accepting.
What happens if I close the trade window or walk away before it finishes?
The trade only completes when both players accept, so leaving early should cancel it. Your offered items stay with you instead of going to the other player.
My trade request isn't showing up for the other player. What's wrong?
Make sure you typed their name correctly and that they're online on the same server. If it still fails, you may not have permission to trade or trading may be limited in that area, so check with server staff.
Will using the trade system cause lag on the server?
It shouldn't. The plugin is built to run lightly in the background, so trades open and complete quickly without slowing down the game for anyone.
Is trading this way safer than dropping items for each other?
Yes. Items move directly between inventories only after both sides agree, so nobody else can pick them up and neither player can take the goods and run before paying.
