Job Perk: VEnding

⚠️ IMPORTANT:

Vending is now transitioning to a bot-based system. The old method (forms + manual messages) is no longer valid.
A new /vending command is coming soon to handle all vendor setup, credit, stock, and transactions automatically.
In the meantime, all standard vending rules still apply. Read below to understand how it works.

What Is Vending?

Vending is a Job Perk mechanic that allows players to run in-world shops. While Hyrule doesn't use traditional currency, vendors exchange goods, services, and favors for payment.

Vending replaces NPC village shops. Characters must visit player-run shops to buy gear and materials!

🗓️ Monthly Vending Cycle

Every Month (1st–5th):

Collect 500 Point Credit
Vendors receive a monthly vending credit to purchase stock.
Restock From Guild List
Pick items from that month’s stock list. Stock changes each month and may include rare, limited items.
Confirm & Track
Once approved, vendors add new items to their Vendor Sheet (separate from their inventory sheet).
Set Up Shop
Vendors may advertise in the #marketplace channel as a thread.

Bot-based vending forms will replace manual posts soon!

💰 Buying From a Vendor

To buy from a vendor, players must:

Visit the vendor's shop thread in #marketplace
RP or post about the trade
Use a barter form (will be automated by the bot later)

Valid Payment Types:

Goods (items/materials)
Tokens
Art (player-provided)

Want to request unusual payment? Ask a mod first.

🛍️ Shop Inventory Rules

You can save points month to month—spending all 500 is not required

Raw materials (e.g., apples) stack up to 10 per slot
Crafted or unique items (e.g., armor) use 1 slot per item
- Example: 10 apples = 1 slot, 2 weapons = 2 slots

Vendors cannot use or remove items from their shop freely.
If you want an item from your own shop, you must buy it at the item's official ROTW sell price.

This applies to:
- The vendor character themselves
- Any other character you own (non-vendor alts) attempting to buy from your shop

💡 Yes, you have to pay yourself. Vendors don’t get free access to their own stock — all sales must be tracked and processed fairly like any other transaction.
