Merchants
Merchant NPCs (also called Vendors) are present from the first stage of node development (Expedition).[2]
- Merchant NPCs are identified by a golden shimmer on their nameplates.[3]
- Merchant NPCs will in general be able to buy items from players.[4]
Node types
Nodi are assigned one of four (4) node types, each of which contain unique specializations.[2]
- Players will be able to identify the type of a node at its first stage of development (Expedition) based on its NPC population.[6]
Node type.[2] | Specialization.[2] | NPCs.[2] | Currency.[7][8] |
---|---|---|---|
Divine nodes | Faith and skill/equipment augment focuses | Priests | Favor |
Economic nodes | Trade and merchant focuses | Merchants | - |
Military nodes | Combattimento and class training focuses | Guards | Honor |
Academic nodes | Artisan and construction focuses | Scholars | - |
Ashes of Creation allows you, the player, to decide the fate of the world around you. With each Node Type, you can change the flow of resources and goods in the world. Will you grow the largest Economic Metropolis and help guide the riches of Verra, or will you choose another path unlocking new stories filled with allies and enemies?[9]
Node types are predetermined and are the same across all servers.[2]
- A node’s type is static. It does not change based on the node’s advancement or destruction.[2]
For example, if a level 4 Scientific Node is destroyed, it will become a Level 0 Scientific Node. It will never be any other Node Type other than a Scientific Node. The location of these Types relates to the influences of the area around the Node.[2] – Margaret Krohn
Node types affect various services and systems at each level of node advancement.[2]
- Node governments
- Narrative
- NPCs
- Node buildings and amenities
Node types will be definitive during the Beta testing stages.[10]
Beta testing will require that the node types be definitive; and that's because of how node types are integrated into the relating and corresponding neighboring points of interest and those quest lines. So it's not something we can swap very easily.[10] – Steven Sharif
Mercati
A market is a type of unique node building in Ashes of Creation that unlocks at Village (fase 3) of an Economic node.[12] Markets serve as a center for the transaction of goods and services within the area. Players can use the Market to access features including (but not limited to) some of the following:[9]
- Auction house where raw resources and crafting materials may be posted.[9]
- Trade hauling stables for Tier 1 mule training.[9]
- Player shop areas for personal shop deployment and rental stalls.[9]
- Private property sale certificates.[9]
- Hunter’s Post (higher redemption for Tier 1 creature bounties).[9]
- Black markets are upgrade paths for markets where stolen glint can be redeemed.[13]
Mercati are distinct from Mercati, which are constructible node buildings that are available for placement by mayors of any Town (fase 4) node or higher.[14]
Giocatore bancarelle
Giocatore bancarelle (also called Kiosks and rental stalls) are rentable locations near the unique building in an Economic node[17], in Mercati (the constructible building available for placement by mayors of any Town (fase 4) node or higher), or as business buildings on freehold plots.[18][14]
- All nodes do have the ability to spawn player stalls. If you're not an economic node and you don't have a market- that's essentially your unique building- then you can construct essentially what is I guess would be called a... marketplace; and that marketplace will then come with certain services and it will come with a certain number of stalls. The economic node as I recall has the ability to construct an auction house and the auction house serves through the economic means the ability to list and sell items and that comes with additional stalls as well for the players.[14] – Steven Sharif
Renting a player stall enables players to sell items as well as provide repair and enchanting services, even when they are not online.[19]
- Player stalls are rentable by node citizens.[20]
- Player stalls may be utilized for a period of time based on the price paid to rent the stall.[19]
- Player stalls are linked to a player's warehouse.[21]
- Player stalls do not require the attendance of the character or for that character to be online.[20]
- Players are able to input required items for repair and also purchase required materials for that repair.[23]
- Player stalls may still operate during node siege declaration. This is subject to testing.[24]
- Players are not able to be attacked or robbed while occupying their player stall inside the limits of a node.[25]
- Bulletin boards that list the items available in player stalls can be accessed from anywhere in the region.[22]
- These give the location of the stall so players can travel there and purchase the items.[22]
- Stall sales are also listed in auction houses.[26]
- This may no longer be accurate.[27]
