Trading Items in Ragnarok Begins: A Comprehensive Guide

Trading is a core social and economic mechanic in many MMORPGs, and Ragnarok Begins is no exception. This guide will provide you with everything you need to know about trading items, from the basics to more advanced aspects of the system.

How to Trade Items in Ragnarok Begins

Trading in Ragnarok Begins is primarily done via direct, player-to-player interaction. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

1. Initiate a Trade: To begin, right-click on the character you wish to trade with. This will bring up a context menu with various options.

2. Request a Trade: Select the “Request Trade” option from the menu. This sends a trade request to the selected player.

3. Trade Acceptance: The targeted player will receive your trade request and must accept it. Once accepted, a trade window will appear on both screens.

4. Adding Items and Zeny: In the trade window, both players can add the items they wish to trade, as well as any amount of Zeny (the in-game currency). Drag the desired items from your inventory into the allocated space in the trade window, and type the amount of zeny you want to offer.

5. Confirm the Trade: Once both players have placed the items and Zeny into the trade window and are happy with their offer, both need to click the ‘ready’ button to signal they’re prepared to complete the trade.

6. Complete the Trade: When both players have hit the ‘ready’ button, a final ‘trade’ button will be enabled. Click this to finalize the transaction and exchange items and Zeny.

7. Review the Trade: Before finalizing any trade, it is crucial to carefully review the contents of the trade window to ensure you’re receiving the intended items or Zeny. Once completed, trades cannot be reversed, so double check.

The direct trading method allows for personal, one-on-one exchanges of items and currency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Trading in Ragnarok Begins

1. Can I trade anything in Ragnarok Begins?

Generally, yes. You can trade most items, including equipment, crafting materials, consumables, and of course, Zeny. However, some specific items or currencies, especially those related to quests or specific events may not be tradeable. Always double-check before initiating a trade, if unsure.

2. Are there any restrictions on trading?

Yes, there are a few. Firstly, players must be within a certain range of each other to initiate a trade. Secondly, there might be level or item restrictions depending on the server or specific game version. It is important to also be mindful of trade scams, so always double check the trade window before finalizing. Finally, players can only trade with other players. You can not sell to a non-player character (NPC) in this manner.

3. How do I know if an item is tradeable?

Generally, items that can be traded don’t have any special markers indicating whether they can be traded or not. Some quest or event related items may be specifically flagged as ‘untradeable’ in their descriptions, however most items can be traded. Always be sure to check thoroughly.

4. Is there a trade limit in Ragnarok Begins?

In Ragnarok Begins, there are no direct daily trade limits like there are for gifts. However, it is always good practice to monitor any server messages or patches to see if there are any new limits being applied.

5. What happens if a trade is interrupted?

If a trade is interrupted for any reason (e.g., a disconnect, moving too far away) the trade will be cancelled. You will need to re-request the trade with the other player. All items or zeny you had in the trade window will be returned to their owners inventory.

6. Can I trade with players on different channels?

No, you can’t. Players must be on the same channel (or server, if applicable) to trade with each other. You will need to ensure you are both on the same channel before initiating a trade.

7. Is there a global market in Ragnarok Begins?

While the primary method of trading is player-to-player direct trades, there is a system for selling items to other players via a shop or stall. Instead of a direct exchange this allows you to place items for sale, for other players to purchase. This is accessed via the “Sell” tab in the Trade window.

8. How do I use the Stall/Shop system?

To access the stall/shop function, navigate to the trade window, and select the “Sell” tab. Here, you can place items and set a price you wish to sell them for. Bear in mind that the price you set is not the price you will receive, as there is a certain percentage deducted, which will vary based on the type of item. It is vital to be aware of the trade tax in the game.

9. How do I know how much an item is worth?

Item values can fluctuate based on the game’s economy. It’s wise to check the prices of the items you wish to trade by checking prices on similar items in the stalls and shops of other players. You can also ask in the general chat channel if you are unsure of values.

10. What is the benefit of the Stall system?

The stall system lets you sell items to players without having to be online or actively involved. It is a way of passively selling goods, while allowing you to get on with your own adventure.

11. Can I haggle with players in a trade?

Yes, directly when initiating a trade. You can discuss prices or deals with the player before adding your items and completing the trade. This makes trading very flexible and player-controlled. Haggle with others and make a deal.

12. Is it safe to trade in Ragnarok Begins?

While trading is generally safe, you should always be cautious of potential scams. Ensure you double-check the trade window before confirming, and be wary of deals that seem too good to be true. If you are unsure, it is always best to decline the trade request.

13. Are there any hidden trade costs?

The only trade costs associated in Ragnarok Begins is with the Market stall system. All direct player-to-player trades have no additional costs, so if you are trading in this manner there are no additional costs to be concerned about.

14. Can I trade with my own alternate accounts?

Yes, you can trade with your own alternate accounts, providing they are on the same server and channel as your main character. This will allow you to move gear and supplies around without using the stall system.

15. What happens if I accidentally confirm the wrong trade?

Unfortunately, once a trade is completed, it cannot be reversed. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully review the trade window before clicking the final ‘Trade’ button. This highlights the importance of taking care when trading with other players.

By understanding these trading mechanics and being mindful of your interactions, you can ensure a smooth and enjoyable trading experience in Ragnarok Begins. Happy trading!
