Black Market
The Black Market uses credits or "Net Worth" as its primary currency and is divided into four tabs: Buying, Selling, Requisitions, and Specialty Items. Each Player's accrued Net Worth is displayed in the top corner of their screen and does NOT wipe.
Buying
Purchase most standard items in the game using credits. DLC, paid-content, and specialty items are excluded from the regular market.
Prices are calculated using our in-house algorithm, which factors in item rarity, research requirements, and crafting costs. The market is primarily intended to help you obtain items for research, so purchasing large quantities can be expensive.
The Buying tab displays 20 randomly selected items and refreshes every three hours. Items placed on sale receive a 10% discount. Subscribers receive an additional 10% discount that stacks with sale prices.
Selling
Sell a rotating selection of resources in exchange for credits. The Selling tab displays 20 randomly selected resources and refreshes every three hours.
Resources marked as being in high demand pay 10% more than their normal selling price.
Requisitions
Requisitions are server-wide challenges that require players to donate a specific resource or amount of credits before the timer expires. Every donation contributes to the same shared goal.
Completing a requisition activates its listed reward for the entire server. Rewards include vendor restocks, market refreshes, cost resets, welfare increases, and other server-wide benefits.
Specialty Items
The Specialty Items tab contains a fixed selection of unique tools, equipment, vehicles, and services that are not included in the normal market rotation.
This includes special farming tools such as the Shovel and Sickle, the Remove-O-Matic, the Geiger Counter for locating resource nodes, portable vehicles, distress signals, and other useful equipment.
