    They are not linked, but it is not very difficult now to search all three markets.

    1) If in Ul'Dah, go to Market Wards
    2) Choose to go into 'Limsa Lominsa Mercantile Wards' (instead of Ul'Dah)
    3) Use the search counter
    4) Exit and choose to go to 'Gridania Mercantile Wards'
    5) Use the search counter
    6) Exit and choose to go to 'Ul'Dah Mercantile Wards'
    7) Use the search counter


    Yes, it takes 3x longer than checking one place. But, it can be done from one location without having to travel to every city (as it used to be). May be all we get till 2.0, so whilst not ideal, is usable.

    If I'm purchasing mass quantities of items (for crafting) I check all 3.
    If I do not care how much I pay and only want one item, I still check Ul'dah.

    This may be a hint that you may get more customers if you are selling mass-quantity items in non-Ul'Dah locations (like stacks of wood, cloths, stones, etc).




    What are the chances of that happening?

    <--- This yes but do you think half the server do know how to use the fuction properly? NO
    I sold items good price abit cheaper then uld stands had but took me 3 weeks to sell something yes and my retainer is in Gridania.

    So found Stand spot pay 500 for 24h its only 1 day and sold direckly few items.
    So this dosent work at all.

    What they could do i mean so hard isent it they made in FFXI and they can do it again.
    Make simpel action house or search function is connected to both Uld Lominsa and Gridania.

    I mean if ur are a new player and want to start make some money. Then this game is a pain in the ass to sell the ur gathering items crafted w/e beacuse greedy gold sellers retainers blocking all spots.
    How long you expect people gona accept it like it is now? its Rageing this is terrible.

    I do not think they can do this. There used to be a time when there was no mercantile house to go to, to search other cities, then they added that. I think they did that because they could not make it so you search all 3 cities at once. It is an unfortunate limitation 1.0, and hopefully will be fixed in 2.0

    The tools to do commerce in 3 cities are there, albeit primitive tools. Unfortunately this is enough to make sure people do not use those tools and everyone focuses only on Ul'dah.
