Market Plaza
Location & Information
Market Plazas house 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.
Crossing's Market Plaza
Is located over the ramp just east of the bank.
The available trader shops are located in 27 rooms on three floors.
There is a lovely garden and a Food Court to relax and socialize in,
or perhaps relax on a comfy couch and enjoy the artwork or artifacts in many of the hallways.
Be sure to visit the fountain and pick a flower to remember your visit in the Gladiolus Room.
There is also a spacious foyer, which provides shoppers with a listings board for more convenient browsing.

Syntax and Use of the Plaza
Note: You'll need to enter a Market Plaza to utilize these commands.
In Crossing, the bazaar guards handle affairs outside the Market Plaza and are incompatible with these commands. Plaza guards handle affairs inside the Market Plaza and are compatible with the commands below.
As the notice explains, there are a number of commands available within Market Plazas.
- READ <notice>: Gives the information listed above in the welcome notice.
- READ <board>: Lists current OPEN shops by name, the plaza room they're located in and a general description of inventory as specified by the shop owner.
- STUDY <board>: Lists all current shops by name within the plaza; regardless of OPEN or CLOSED status with OPEN shops highlighted.
- ASK <guard> about <shop name>: Asking a plaza guard about a shop name (or any part of the shop name) will result in them guiding you directly to that OPEN shop rather than navigating the plaza yourself. Ask them twice within 30 seconds.
- ASK <guard> about <foyer/entrance: Asking a plaza guard about FOYER or ENTRANCE will result in them guiding you directly to the entrance of the Market Plaza (assuming you are not already there). Ask them twice within 30 seconds.
- LOOK <door/entrance/arch/doorway/PORTAL/etc>: Inside the Market Plaza, you may LOOK at specific shop entrances within the Plaza while standing outside the shops themselves for shop owner information and hours of operation in OOC "real life" Eastern Time. This information is also listed on the player owned shops page.
- SHOP <help>: Lists SHOP COMMAND syntax.
- SHOP <without a modifier while standing in an NPC or player owned shop>: To view the the items (shop surfaces) that hold goods for sale
