Market Plaza
Location & Information
This Market Plaza houses player owned shops. These shops carry various items of interest to players; whether player-crafted, festival/quest sourced or rare and unique. Also see market plaza utilities for apps that will make perusing shop inventory easier.
There are currently Market Plazas located in The Crossing, Riverhaven's Knight's Hall and Shard's Crystal Plaza.
- The Plaza is located SE from Mags or over the ramp just east of the bank. In the square outside the plaza you can also wander over to the tent containing the Market tables which can have items to purchase when an available Trader has opened up tables to use.
- The available trader shops are located in 27 rooms on three floors.
- A list of shops and available schedules for this location can be found here.
- There is a lovely garden, a Food Court and a Tasting Room to get some free refreshments, relax and socialize in. There is also a comfy couch to relax on and artwork or artifacts in many of the hallways to enjoy.
- Be sure to visit the following rooms and pick a flower to remember your visit with:
- in the Gladiolus Room, a pink gladiolus and a yellow gladiolus
- in the Jungle Room, a tall stalk of torch ginger, a pink-stalked Queen's Tears, a purple passion flower and some tendriled blood-red blossoms
- in the Palm Room, a peace lily
- The Stomping Room has a Dance floor to enjoy after some wine tasting.
- There is also a spacious foyer, which provides shoppers with a listings board for more convenient browsing. The archway here leads to the Furniture Gallery, where eligible Traders may purchase furniture for their shops, while the door leads to the administrative office for the Plaza.
