Setting Up a Shop
Creating a shop in your leased stall is simple and completely automated.

- Place a chest or barrel inside your lot.
- This container will hold the items you want to sell.
Step 2: Shift-Click with Item
- Hold the item you want to sell in your hand.
- Shift-Click on the chest or barrel.
This opens the shop creation interface.
Step 3: Set Price and Confirm
- Enter the price per unit of the item.
- Confirm to finalize your shop setup.
- The container is now active as a selling chest.
Note: The container must have stock in it for the shop to function. Restock regularly to keep your shop active!
Note 2: You can set up shop chests outside of the market, for example in your own base or kingdom building or ... Be aware that securing them is your own responsibility then.
Managing an Existing Shop
You can easily manage or modify a shop chest after it has been created.
Open the Management Menu
- Right-click the shop chest.
- A menu will appear in the chat, offering the following options:
Options Explained
- Update Price
- Change the current selling or buying price of the item without deleting the shop.
- Switch to Buying Chest
- Turn the chest into a buying shop, where you pay players for delivering items to you. Be extra careful: you can run out of money fast, especially when offering high prices.
- Remove Shop
- Stop the shop chest from functioning; turn it back to a regular container.
The chest and its contents remain safe — only the shop link is removed.
Tip: Always double-check settings when switching to a buying chest to avoid draining your balance unexpectedly.
Market Etiquette
- Set fair, competitive prices — avoid intentional undercutting that harms the market.
- Update or remove empty or outdated shops.
- No misleading practices or scams.
