Ragnarok World
Shops & Vending
Selling and buying between players happens through shops. You can run a normal shop while you stand next to it, or hire a Store Assistant that keeps your shop open for 24 hours while you go on playing.
Where you can open a shop
- In town: Morroc and Payon are the market towns. Prontera and most other towns don't allow shops.
- Not within 3 cells of an NPC, and not on a cell where someone already stands.
- If the game says "You can't open a shop on this map", move to Morroc or Payon.
Store Assistant (offline shop)
Use a voucher, pick a spot, and a copy of your character runs the shop there for 24 hours. You can keep playing the same character anywhere else in the meantime — any class can use it, no cart needed.
| Voucher | What it does | Lv 1 | Lv 2 | Lv 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consignment Merchant Voucher | Sells items from your inventory | 3 items | 4 items | 5 items |
| Personal Shopper Voucher | Buys items you want | 3 items | 4 items | 5 items |
- Selling: the zeny from every sale is sent to you by mail (RODEX). When the shop ends, anything unsold is mailed back.
- Buying: you set a zeny budget, which is held up front. Items you buy arrive by mail, and the unspent zeny is mailed back when the shop ends.
- Limits: each character can run one assistant shop, and each account at most one selling and one buying assistant (on different characters).
- Shops stay open through server restarts. You can close yours early from its shop window.
- If the spot isn't allowed, the voucher is not used up — just try another spot.
- Rental items, unidentified or broken items and items that can't be traded can't be sold.
Getting vouchers
Talk to the Employment Officer at the Merchant Guild in Alberta (alberta_in 20, 19).
| Way | Lv 1 voucher | Lv 2 voucher | Lv 3 voucher |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy with zeny (no cooldown) | 500,000 z | 1,000,000 z | 2,000,000 z |
| Work a job (Base Lv 40+, once every 7 days) | Beginner: deliver to Guild Clerks in Prontera, Payon, Al De Baran, Comodo and Morroc | Normal: visit Murian (Prontera Culvert F3) and Elbury (Sphinx F3), then hunt 10 Bongun, 10 Megalith and 10 Rideword | Expert: check the Supply Sign in Bio Lab F3, then defeat 3 each of Eremes Guile, Cecil Damon, Kathryne Keyron and Margaretha Sorin |
After a job — or when you buy — you choose a Merchant (selling) or a Shopper (buying) voucher.
Normal shops
Vending (sell)
- Merchant classes with a Pushcart use the Vending skill. Vending Lv 1 sells 3 kinds of items, +1 per skill level (up to 12).
- The shop stays open only while you stay with it.
Buying Store (buy)
- Learn Open Buying Store from Mr. Hugh at the Merchant Guild in Alberta for a one-time 10,000 z (needs Vending). He also sells the Bulk Buyer Shop License it uses up — 200 z each.
- You need at least one of each item you want to buy in your inventory. Only common materials can be bought this way — not equipment.
Tax
Sales under 100,000,000 z are tax-free. A single sale of 100,000,000 z or more is taxed 5%.
