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%.

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.

Gold listings are fee-free — the seller keeps 100%. When a buyer purchases a $KINS listing, the seller receives 95% of the payment, while the remaining 5% goes entirely to the game treasury.

Click the cart icon on the in-game HUD, located in the radar area, to open the Marketplace window. It has three tabs:

  • Sell — create new listings
  • Buy — browse and purchase listings
  • My Listings — manage active sales

Marketplace Access

Anyone can browse and buy from the Marketplace.

To create listings, an account must hold at least 1,000 $KINS for 24 hours. This holding requirement is part of Kintara's value-out system.

The following features unlock after the account has held at least 1,000 $KINS for 24 hours:

  • Marketplace listings
  • Player-to-player trading
  • Wagers
  • Guild-bank deposits

Buying, earning, and playing are not locked behind the 24-hour holding period.

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, such as 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 by default. Players holding at least 100,000 $KINS receive 5 additional listing slots through Holder Benefits, for a maximum of 15 active listings.

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 review its listing details.
  4. Complete the purchase.

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

Buying from the Marketplace is available even before the account has held 1,000 $KINS for 24 hours.

My Listings

The My Listings tab shows every active sale you currently have on the Marketplace.

Use it to:

  • Check the price and quantity on open listings.
  • Review listing details.
  • Cancel a listing and return escrowed items to your inventory.
  • Track which items have sold.
  • Bulk-delist multiple listings.

When listings are bulk-d delisted, the returned items retain the durability they had when they were listed.

Listing Information

Marketplace listings now display important item information directly in the listing rows.

Depending on the item, buyers can see:

  • A mount's speed percentage
  • A tool's remaining uses
  • An item's wear or durability

This allows buyers to distinguish a trained mount or lightly used tool without opening every listing or contacting the seller. Sellers do not need to enter these details manually.

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 the treasury. Nothing is burned.

Marketplace Interface Updates

The Marketplace received a major interface and listing rebuild:

  • A cleaner marketplace board
  • Dedicated item pages
  • Listing rows with item speed and wear information
  • Bulk delisting that returns items with their listed durability
  • Restored access to every page of listings
  • Improved busy-server handling so an active market does not appear empty

What Can Be Sold

Common Marketplace categories include:

Tools, armor, mounts, and other equipment display their relevant speed, wear, or durability information in the listing interface. Players should review these values before purchasing.

Direct player-to-player trading is separate from Marketplace listings and has its own trade interface.

Marketplace Fees

Gold listings have no Marketplace fee. The seller keeps 100% of the Gold payment.

$KINS listings have a 5% fee:

  • 95% goes to the seller.
  • 5% goes to the game treasury.
  • 0% is burned.

The Marketplace fee is no longer a $KINS burn mechanic. The paid Spinner Wheel and the Wishing Well remain the active $KINS burn mechanics.

Referrals

The Referrals system pays $KINS to players whose referrals make Marketplace purchases.

When a referred buyer purchases an item, a portion of the Marketplace fee is paid to the referrer in $KINS inside the buyer's transaction. There is no claim button or waiting period.

A volume ladder increases the referrer's share as the referrals' lifetime Marketplace spending grows.

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% treasury fee but reaches on-chain buyers.
  • Check a listing's shown speed, wear, or durability before buying a mount, tool, or other equipment.
  • Use the My Listings tab to cancel or bulk-delist items and return them to your inventory.
