Fractara gameplay · Economy ledger
Fractara's live economy combines location-bound trade hubs, player-priced listings, an authored city market, direct gold transfers, reserved inventory, transactional settlement, and skill-aware prices and fees. The server proves the hub, ownership, capacity, balance, and final transfer before a trade becomes real.
The player-market loop
The marketplace treats items, gold, world position, carrying capacity, and listing state as one server-owned transaction boundary.
The backend checks the character's current world structure. Listings and purchases stay scoped to the hub the character is actually inside.
Choose an unequipped item, a valid quantity, and a per-unit gold price. The listed quantity leaves ordinary carrying state and becomes reserved.
The server locks the listing, buyer, seller, and world state; rechecks availability and gold; transfers the item; then settles the sale.
Sold inventory becomes durable buyer property. Cancelled or expired inventory returns through the reservation system and carrying state is recalculated.
One economy, multiple surfaces
The connected system distinguishes player listings from the authored city market while keeping both inside the same durable gold and inventory boundaries.
The server records item identity, quantity, durability and upgrade details, seller, hub, unit price, total price, status, and expiry. A buyer cannot purchase their own listing or one from another hub.
The current catalog exposes eleven fixed offers spanning common resource bundles, tools, a compass, fire bombs, and a Void Compass. Availability and prices are resolved by the backend.
Player purchases and direct positive gold transfers lock both character records in a stable order, reject self-payment or insufficient funds, and persist lifetime earned and spent totals.
Merchant-market discounts and trade-post tax reduction come from the durable skill aggregate. The backend applies bounded effects rather than accepting a discount supplied by the client.
Current operating boundaries
These values come from the current backend authority. They describe the live implementation, not an eternal promise against future balance changes.
Product proof
This first-party record was reviewed by Mask on July 17, 2026. Claims were checked through client trade commands, backend transactions, market and skill catalogs, inventory reservations, synchronized projections, notifications, and behavior tests.
An economy with geography
Crafting turns gathered materials into useful outputs. Pocket Dimensions add durable loot. Territory changes movement and opportunity. Kingdoms pool a separate treasury. Trade hubs give those systems a place where value can move between players.
Direct answers
Yes. Inside a trade hub, players can create item listings, browse that hub's active listings, purchase another player's listing with gold, and cancel their own listings. The connected client and backend both expose this flow.
Yes. The server derives the character's current trade hub from authoritative world state. Creating or buying a player listing requires the character to be inside the matching hub; another hub or no hub fails validation.
The listed quantity is removed from ordinary inventory and stored as a durable trade-listing reservation. A completed sale finalizes that reservation into the buyer's inventory. Cancellation or expiry refunds it to the seller.
Current player listings last seven days. Cancellation is free during the first hour; afterward it uses the same 7.5% base seller-fee calculation as a sale. Skill effects can reduce that fee. These are current backend values and may be rebalanced later.
Trade hubs currently expose an authored eleven-offer city-market catalog alongside player listings. Ordinary bundles and special items use durable gold, while relevant skills can change merchant prices and daily access to special offers.
