== Overview ==
The Marketplace lets players turn surplus gear, resources, mounts, cosmetics, and real-estate keys into value. Most listings use in-game [[Gold]]; high-value or on-chain trades can be listed in [[$KINS]] instead. When a buyer purchases a [[$KINS]] listing, the seller receives '''95%''' of the payment, while the remaining 5% goes entirely to the game treasury. [[Gold]] listings are '''fee-free''' — the seller keeps 100%.
 
Click the '''cart icon''' on the in-game HUD (radar area) to open the window. It has three tabs — '''Sell''' (red), '''Buy''' (green), and '''My Listings''' — shown in the screenshot.

The Marketplace is Kintara's player-to-player trading hub. Open it from the cart icon on the in-game HUD to list items for Gold or $KINS, browse other players' listings, and manage your active sales.

The Marketplace window — Sell, Buy, and My Listings tabs.

The Marketplace lets players turn surplus gear, resources, mounts, cosmetics, and real-estate keys into value. Most listings use in-game Gold; high-value or on-chain trades can be listed in $KINS instead. When a buyer purchases a $KINS listing, the seller receives 95% of the payment, while the remaining 5% goes entirely to the game treasury. Gold listings are fee-free — the seller keeps 100%. Click the cart icon on the in-game HUD (radar area) to open the window. It has three tabs — Sell (red), Buy (green), and My Listings — shown in the screenshot.

Selling requirement: You need Level 5 on all skills to create listings. Anyone can still buy from the Marketplace.
Update — Fee restructured: The 5% $KINS marketplace fee no longer splits between treasury and burn. It previously sent 2.5% to treasury and permanently burned the other 2.5%; now the full 5% goes to the treasury and nothing is burned. Sellers receive exactly the same 95% as before — this only changes where the fee lands. The Marketplace is no longer one of $KINS's burn mechanics; the paid Spinner Wheel and the Wishing Well remain the only two.

Sell

Use the red Sell tab to list items from your inventory.

  1. Select Sell.
  2. Read the prompt: "List items for gold or for $KINS. Choose a tradeable item below, then set amount and price."
  3. Pick a tradeable item from your inventory list (for example Wood, Stone, coal, weapons, potions, mounts, or property keys).
  4. Set the amount and price for the listing.
  5. Choose whether the listing is priced in Gold or $KINS.
  6. Confirm the listing.

While an item is listed, it is held in escrow and cannot be used until the listing is cancelled or sold. Each player can have up to 10 active listings at a time.

Update: $KINS Holder Benefits now grants +5 listing slots (10 → 15 total) to players holding 100,000 $KINS or more.

Buy

Use the green Buy tab to browse listings posted by other players.

  1. Select Buy.
  2. Browse available listings.
  3. Select the item you want and complete the purchase.

Buyers pay the listed price in Gold or $KINS, depending on how the seller listed it. Purchased items are delivered directly to the buyer.

Update: Every listing under Current Listings now shows a mount's speed % or a tool's remaining uses next to the price, so buyers can tell a trained mount or a barely-used tool from the rest without clicking through each seller individually. This is automatic — sellers don't need to do anything for their item's stats to display.

My Listings

The My Listings tab shows every active sale you currently have on the Marketplace. Use it to:

  • Check price and quantity on open listings
  • Cancel a listing and return escrowed items to your inventory
  • Track which items have sold

Listing Types

Listing type Currency Fee Notes
Gold listing Gold None Standard in-game soft-currency sale — seller keeps 100%.
Token listing $KINS 5% (100% treasury) On-chain payout; seller receives 95%, and the full 5% fee goes to treasury. No longer partially burned.

What Can Be Sold

Common Marketplace categories include:

Note: Only undamaged tools and armor can be listed on the Marketplace, since durability isn't visible in the listing/trade UI otherwise. Repair gear at Grimjaw or Harun the Forgewright before listing it. This restriction is separate from direct player-to-player trading, which now accepts worn/damaged gear (durability shown live in trade cells).

Tips

  • Bank valuables on the Mainland before listing high-tier gear you still use in the Wilderness.
  • Check recent sale prices before undercutting — the community tracks high-value flips on social channels and tools like kintara.gold.
  • Real-estate keys and rare mounts often trade for far more than their original release price in Gold.
  • Listing in Gold avoids fees entirely; listing in $KINS carries the 5% fee (all to treasury) but reaches on-chain buyers.
  • Check a listing's shown speed % or durability before buying a mount or tool — no need to message the seller or guess.
