Can we implement a special hired merchant(NX item) that can sell/buy items at the same time? This would be very convenient for both the seller and buyer. In addition to the idea, a search owl for seller would be great too. The idea is that, the merchant owner place the item they want(they need to have the item in the first place) in store with desired quantity and price. Then, the merchant takes in the meso from the owner's inventory and keep in the merchant. Whenever a player comes in and sell, the merchant pay the seller for exchange of the item. The purchased item will be stored at Fredrick(FM NPC). The merchant can be restricted to only ETC/Scrolls/Skill Book/Use/or even AP reset. Pros: For buyers(the merchant owner), they can buy items offline! So they don't have to shout out in FM and waste alot of time. For sellers(the walk-in player), they can sell their items to the merchant and get meso instantly. Stablise the Market price since the demand can be easily seen? I'm not too sure how maplestory's economic works. Cons: Less interaction in FM since people would just use owl to sell their items. May cause exploit? No negotiation. I remembered Maplestory had this feature in the past, but I couldn't remember which version it is, and it was abit buggy.
I think the bot purchasing items can only be for items without variance stats Seems troublesome to make the bot able to recognize what stats are within the acceptable trade range, like Red Craven what WA and LUK Probably need set purchase limit to prevent inventory burst
it's not new idea Spoiler: store tabs in GMS/EMS/KMS/CMS/MSEA and other servers buytab excluded eqps without set stats it worked same as reg tab just reversed function and meso cap in store was same for both tabs or can be done as Action House where you can set all those things but it will change much from nostalgic and searching around FM in other hand while on that store topic i would like to add on the idea to be able to sell NX items in store
