Vending Zones
NexusRO has two dedicated zones for player shops to keep cities clean and organized.
You will not be able to open a store except in those dedicated maps.
Information
| Zone | Access NPC | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Vending Zone | prontera 157/196 |
Warp to the vending stores map |
| Buying Zone | prontera 154/196 |
Warp to the buying stores map |
How It Works
- Talk to the Vend Zone or Buy Zone warp NPC in Prontera. You will be automatically teleported in the map.
- Talk to the Shop Keeper then choose "Find me a spot". The system will warp you to an unoccupied tile so you don't have to hunt for space yourself.
- Open you vending/buying store.
- @autotrade or @at to disconnect while letting you store in-game.
Zone Keeper Services
Once inside either zone, talk to the Zone Keeper NPC for:
- Find me a free vending/buying spot
- Open Storage
- Open Guild Storage
- Return to Prontera
Store Price Decay
A vending store that stays open for a long time lowers its own prices, so abandoned stores don't freeze the market:
- Every full 7 days a store has been open, all its prices drop by 5%.
- The weeks count while the server is offline too: a store that missed a week during a maintenance catches up when it reopens.
- Re-open your store to reset the timer and set fresh prices.
Zeny Limits
- Zeny is 63-bit: your purse, bank, trades and mails can now hold up to 9 223 372 036 854 775 807 zeny (previously capped at 2 147 483 647).
- A single vending or buying-store price can go up to 2 147 483 647 zeny per item.
Finding Items
The Market button of the basic menu opens the store search window. You can search from anywhere.
Opening a shop from the Market window
Clicking a result opens that shop directly, so you can buy without walking to it. This only works while you are in a town, or in the vending and buying zones. Anywhere else the click only shows the shop's position when you are on the same map. If you leave the town, the shop you opened can no longer sell to you.
- Type any part of an item name. The server does the matching, so there is no result limit.
- Results are sorted by item, then by price.
- Searching for a card also lists the cards on sale on their own.
- You can search again right away. There is no "cannot search again yet" popup.
The same search is available as commands:
@whosell <item>lists who is vending an item, where, and at what price.@whobuy <item>lists who is buying an item in a buying store.
Both commands list every item whose name matches the text.
Auction House
The Auction button of the basic menu opens the Auction House. It uses the store search window and works from anywhere.
Selling
- Open the Auction House and pick the Sell an item row.
- Choose the item and the amount.
- Set a starting price, an optional instant buy price and a duration between 1 and 168 hours (7 days).
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Listings | 20 per account, all characters together |
| Listing fee | None |
| Commission | 5% of the final price, paid by the seller |
| Price range | 1 zeny up to the zeny cap |
| Instant buy | Optional. Must be above the starting price |
| Cancel | Only while nobody has bid |
Bidding
- Double-click an auction to see its details and bid.
- Each new bid must beat the current one by 5%, and by at least 100 zeny.
- Your zeny is taken as soon as you bid. If someone outbids you, it comes back by RODEX mail.
- A bid in the last minute pushes the end back to 1 minute after that bid, so nobody can snipe an auction at the last second.
- You cannot bid on an auction from your own account.
When an Auction Ends
The server settles finished auctions every 30 seconds. Items and zeny are delivered by RODEX mail, to the buyer and to the seller.

Poring Coins and hunting mission rewards can be exchanged through barter NPCs without complex trade menus. Several item prices have also been reduced to limit inflation.
