Question

Hello everyone, i'm new here, please excuse my ignorance, but may i ask, is it legal by the rules to buy something with diamonds and send it to a person that pay with gold for it?, i try to check on the FAQ, but i did not find anything about it, i read the rules it say Not buy diamonds or Gold, but the person would be actually buying the item not the diamonds, so i'm not very sure if it also refer to the items, pets, mounts, etc.
Thanks a lot for your attention and time, please have a nice day/night. :o

That is not against the rules. In fact, it is the main source of item shop items for free to play players.

I see, that's a relieve i think i buy too much diamonds, so i was thinking of buying some pets or armours to sell for gold, but i'm not sure how to, or should i ask what someone want from the item shop, buy it , send it to it and then that person pays me in gold, or may be the other way around would work better, i don't want someone to scam me >.<U but i'm really not sure how to do it :confused:, er...And other question, please, do i have to make a thread about it on the market place or should i just make a shout (i believe its how its call, sorry my english is not perfect, please forgive me >.<) on the game?

Most people sell diamonds to players. On Reni right now each diamond is worth around 35k, your server might be different.

Most the time it is best to make lower level players send the gold first before you gift them any items. If it is a high level who is in a known guild, you are not likely to be scammed.

Buying gold from third party websites (goldspammers) is very much against the rules and will get the offender banned in short order.

Buying dias and trading them to players for gold is the backbone of the economy.

Like King said, it is usual that the lowbee player gift the items to a high level player first, and then they mail or trade you the gold. Most high level players have a reputation to protect, and fraud rates are pretty low, at least on my server.

When I sold dias, I would gift one item and get the gold, then gift the next etc. until I was satisfied that the person was trustworthy. I was never scammed, and I sold a lot of dias to high level players. Now that I am the high level player and I buy dias, I do the same thing in reverse, until my dia seller and I are comfortable with each other. I made some good friends this way actually.

Since you are on Osha, I suggest you sell to Pazuzzu- I hear he pays 100k per dia ;) Make sure you tell him Fan recommended him to you tho ;)

The price on Reni is steadily going down the average price now is 30k or less. The price is more dependant on the sales diamonds from Frogster.

I hope I'm not misunderstanding your question... you're asking how to "sell" diamonds, I believe? If that's the case, it's done quite frequently. Your "buyer" will tell you what object they want from the Item Shop, you select it, click on the Gift icon, enter their name in the box that opens up then send it. They should either have sent you the agreed upon price for your diamonds, i.e., 20,000 gold per diamond (which would be the diamond cost of the object they chose x 20,000 - or whatever your price is). One catch is that you can Gift only one item at a time so if someone wants, for example, 2 stacks of Transport Runes you would have to send each separately. There's not multiple purchase choice available on Gifting.

Another caution, be very sure of who you're selling to. 99.99% of the folks playing here are scrupulously honest but there are dishonest ones out there who will try to cheat you. So, just be careful... if you're selling to someone you do not know my suggestion would be to get at least 1/2 of the gold upfront, if not all of it.

Most people choose to do a World shout that they are selling x-amount of diamonds for x-amount of gold per diamond. This has the broadest reach.

What you cannot do is pre-buy items then try to sell them... Item Shop items come to you Bound... at least I haven't run into any unbound ones in the 2+ years I've been playing. That said, some things can be Unbound... like Wings, which you usually find in the Ruby Shop. By the way, you can sell Rubies in the same manner you sell Diamonds.

Good luck and, if you're in a Guild, it wouldn't hurt to ask your mates about anyone who wants to buy from you... people who have been here for some time are pretty familiar with anyone who is NOT to be trusted. Have fun!

Thanks a lot for all of your help, all of you have helped me whole lot, thank you all so very very much :o, and i totally agree with you Seoi Everyone in the community here are super honest and nice, i actually yesterday make a shout about this question, i got like hundreds of whispers at the same time, answering me, i was really happy, everyone its just so nice, in Osha they told me that the dias are at 55k-60k, but since everyone was so nice, i thought of selling my dias for 35k, but then i got even more whisper but not to buy, but telling me that, that was too cheap, that i have to sell for 55k or more, i actually laugh a lot, i feel so happy to see that everyone is so honest and nice, its just amazing, i wish the whole world was like that, but, i guess there is a big community of nice and honest people still in this society.
So again thanks a lot everyone, i hope i can be able to be friend with you all, i'm happy and honored to be able to be part of this game ^v^:o

The only ones that sell for over 35k per diamond are the greedy moneygrubbers. They have no remorse over screwing the other players without lube. Sell them at what you wat to and ignore those that want to keep the high prices. Not everyone can afford to paay outrageous prices for diamonds.
