Buying
Buying from the Shop - The shop is a ZC sponsored buisness that sells zoids, weapons, and accessories. It has a set price list so no bargaining, you buy it you get it at the next update. If you aren't an official fighter the shop charges a tax or 25%. The shop also offers repair services for a set price and a job with a set wage. Anything you get from The Shop is guaranteed to do what is promised or double your money back. There are some things you should know when buying a zoid. Zoids usually come with weapons and they have symbols so you can understand their use better. Weapons with (a number) means that this is only part of the weapon. That same weapon is probably covering more than one area and every weapon with that same number is part of the same weapon. Just becuase a weapon is the exact same weapon in a different part it doesn't always mean all the parts can be used at once. A weapon with a *,~, etc. can be used at the same time with any other weapon with the same symbol. Some weapons have more than one symbol meaning they can be used with more than one group of weapons. Weapons with (I) can't be unequipped from the zoid.
Buying from anywhere else - The only other places to buy is the Trading Center(which is on the shop's page but is technically not part of the shop), in a quest, or out of the rpg in a chatroom or something. There are no guarantee on these and you may or may not be able to bargain prices. You also may be able to get things you would not be able to buy normally this way.
Selling
Selling to Shop - When you sell to the shop you'll get half what you bought for it if the shop sells it. If the shop doesn't sell it the shop will either refuse to buy it or give you a bargainable offer.
Selling to anywhere else - Just like buying you also can sell in the trading center, in a quest, or out of the rpg. When selling you pretty much have all the cards in this one except you have to make the price reasonable for the buyer.
Trading
Trading is the trade of one item for another. No trading can be done with the shop however you can trade with players and NPC's. This is done in the trading center, in quest, or elsewhere between the 2 traders(if I'm not there then I must be emailed about the transaction.)
Earning
If you want to take a job with the shop you must email me about it. It is also possible to earn jobs in quest. Other members can give jobs but you'll have to trust they'll pay you, make them pay you(but then this is a risk to the employer) or take them to court(thats not a joke).
Repairing
The Shop is the number one place to repair your zoid. If you have a cargo carrier you can load it up with repair modules and repair things for free. The repair modules tend to be expensive though.
Inventing
It is possible to invent a weapon, zoid, accesory, well basically anything that has to do with zoids. You coul invent anything from a weapon accelerator or a repair module to a zoid cup holder(Yes I'm joking about that last one you cannot invent zoid cup holders!). You will have to purchase all the materials needed to build your invention so you shoot me the idea and I'll give you an estimate on the price. Once you've invented it you own it and you can use it or sell it. Your object will also appear in the section of the site is belongs as 1 of a kind.
