Gridania... The New HQ market?

I vaguely remember seeing a thread a while ago that brought up the idea of People using Gridania to sell HQ items. I decided to make a new thread for this topic because I realized with the market ward improvements recently announced for 1.22, this idea makes a lot more sense.

Since right now it is sometimes hard to sell HQ items due to the items list only showing the cheapest items, it makes sense to put a retainer up in Gridania to sell HQ items. If enough people caught on to this, this system would help people sell their HQ items.

If you want HQ, you'd just search for it, no?

the problem is i dont sell enough hq items to dedicate a retainer for hq only

Edit:- I would to have some way of searching only for melded stuff. quite annoying when my double melded stuff doesnt show on the list cos theres a thousand non melded going for less

The way I see it, is as there will be a Search Bar you can type into, those looking for an HQ item of a material would simply just search for the item and put +1 or +3 on the end, thus only getting results that are HQ.

This. HQ is a part of the item name, so no reason that it wouldn't work while searching by name.

What they need to do is list all the items after performing a search or make a search possible for just the hq version of the item.

I'm sure somewhere it says that only the start of the name can be searched for

Market Area Improvements:

It will now be possible to search retainer wares by typing item names into the search field.
* Search results will show all items that start with the entered term.

It does but Iron ore +1 starts with Iron Ore +1.

It means you cant search for Ore, as that is in the middle.

Would make me laugh it it meant you could only use the first word. Such as "Water" for "Water Shard" and billion other things.

Then it would be pretty much useless, but lets hope SE didnt make something useless, lets hope!

Gridania has always been and always will be the HQ market...






























for Lalafell that is!
