Virtually empty Market Board?

[AlexiIvaniskavich]

Out of curiosity what level are you looking for? I can tell you that the zalera MB is certainly not empty, but if you aren't adjusting your search parameters by level, you will not see any items above the level that you have that class at. If you current job is a level 1 marauder, and you simply click on the axe and search there, you are only going to get results for items that you can presently equip, which won't net you much in results on any server.

You really don't need to purchase gear when levelling to 15, there is almost always enough gear provided through class quests and other quests in general to keep you reasonably geared prior to your first dungeon.

And yes, there is almost always some form of mark up from NPC price to MB pricing. People pay for the convienence of not having to teleport and travel to that specific vendor.
