Free Company/Linkshell Shops

[Cedri]

It's time for another bad idea, bad idea. So we'll have Free Company storage IIRC. So why not Free Company shops? Officers would manage it of course. Just an easier way to sell high ticket items.

The intent of this originally was to allow a Free Company to sell items on the market.

Thread Highlights:

... You could add a "Wishlist" function where money above a certain threshold could be used to purchase items on the wishlist. That allows some degree of abuse, but also makes it transparent. Any illigitimate purchases would be recorded on the Wishlist, and members could easily restrict the potential for abuse on a FC by FC basis.

... you could even mix the two ideas, where the FC sells to the market, and if a member of that FC goes to the market and buys that item they get a % discount that is set by the FC before sale.(Could be 0% or even 50%+)

wow.. good idea. a Free Company market run, that is something you dont see Always wanna try make a Guild that is consist of merchant a-like

I actually quite like the idea. It adds another adhesive to keep Free Companies together. It would be interesting if Free Company stores could sell unused R/EX gear (yes I am aware this is basically Bind on Equip). It would give them unique wares that you could only get from the best Free Companies, thereby raising their status in the community.

It would be handy for say if you want to do a free company Ifrit run kind of thing and want to save people some trouble by having them buy tapers instead... though tapers are untradable unfortunately.

Other than that... can't really see much other use. (Crafting is pretty much done as 'requests', selling farmed items is more profitable and faster through market wards).

If Free Companies will have their own chest then this is a pretty good idea, anything sold on the free company retainer will go to the free company chest.

Trade Guilds would be a lovely addition to our community.
