Additional Market Features

[Gokulo]

* This feature, planned for patch 1.20, is still in development, and therefore subject to change.
New market features will be introduced in patch 1.20.
Players will now be able to purchase items directly from the Item Search window.
Steps:
1, Search for an item, and then select one of the retainers selling that item.

2. Enter the desired amount and select Accept to purchase the items.
Purchasing items directly from the Item Search window will incur a 5% surcharge. This surcharge will never exceed 4,000 gil.

Transaction History
This feature will allow players to view their last twenty transactions.
* Transaction History will be reset by maintenance.

Future Expansion of Market Features
1. Viewing Details of Searched Items
Verifying item quality (whether HQ or NQ) and details regarding materia-crafted items through the Item Search is not currently possible, but we plan to alleviate this some time after patch 1.20b.

2. Searching by Item Name
This specific feature is not yet available, but current plans are to have it ready for patch 1.21.

Hmm I wonder how long until someone comes in here and bitches about the surcharge?

Beats me, just looks like another way to take money out of the economy which I don't think is a bad thing at all.

[Gokulo]

Yeah, plus it's not really a huge amount seeing as it's capped at 4k.

Is this a mistranslation?
Doubt players would be interested in knowing their *own* past transactions. Hope they're referring to the item price history instead.

Here's the French wording:
"Cette fonctionnalité permettra aux joueurs d’obtenir la liste des vingt dernières ventes."

This functionality will permit players to obtain a list of the last 20 sales.

[Gokulo]

Seems to be poor wording then, "their" referring to the item, not player.

[Hiroishime]

yeah, the screenshot show item sales history too

LOL this <_<

Doesn't look like you'll be able to tell the exact stats of the materia you are buying through that interface.

Unless there's another picture not posted, I have no idea how you could determine that looking at a picture of a cobalt ingot.

*Edit* Unless you're referring to the HQ item line, which says it will be coming soon after.

The "purchase" dialog box does not contain an item description, which is where the stats for a given piece of materia are listed.

[TacoTaru]

Hmmm, I know that window has the surcharge text on it, but the actual window says "Sell Item" when I would assume it should say "Buy Item". Is it possible the posted the wrong dialog box?

[CrstyCptSteveWitherspoon]

Yea I'm the little bitch who says I'll never use the instant item feature for 4k gil, mostly because I spend most of my money on crafting items to level up my DoH and why cut into my loss/breaking even/profit on leveling? Glad for the price history though.

[Corrderio]

Hopefully they add filter fields in the future to.

[Fievel]

Oh shit being able to buy from item search is going to be so nice, fucking hate going from ward to ward to get shit.
