How to Trade in Brighter Shores

Trading becomes available once you reach Crenopolis and complete the quests that introduce the Merchants' Guild. Unlocking it the first time requires a Premium Pass — but if your pass later expires, you can still trade with other ex-premium players.

It's an opt-in, permanent choice. You either become a Guild Member (can trade) or a Lone Wolf (cannot trade). There's no gameplay advantage to Lone Wolf — it's purely for the extra challenge or prestige — and both earn their own name and leaderboard badges. If you're not sure, pick Decide Later to keep your options open.

As a Guild Member you can trade with any player, anywhere, straight from your inventory. Select the player you want to deal with — from the chat panel or by clicking them in the world — and choose Trade from the menu to send them a trade request.

The trade window puts both offers side by side — your offer on the left, the other player's on the right. Add the items and coins you're putting up, and the central Balanced Trade scale shows the deal at a glance. The trade only completes when both players press Accept Offer; either side can Decline Offer at any time, so nothing happens without mutual agreement.

For bigger deals, head to the Player Market area surrounding the Merchants' Guild in Crenopolis. There you can trade directly bank-to-bank — no need to carry stacks in your inventory. Pick the items and quantities straight from your bank, add coins with the money selector, and confirm the trade as normal. It's the easiest way to move bulk crafting materials and high-value goods.
