HOW TO USE THE STORE
USING THE MARKETPLACE
The marketplace houses items that characters can buy without any worry about being caught by the police. Everything in this shop is legal to use. That means a character can post into the shop to buy something, post it into their inventory with a description of what it does, and RP buying it (if they wish).
USING THE BLACK MARKET
The Black Market is... the underground. It means you are most likely buying from a magic user ICly, and that user can be any magic user as long as they would plausibly have the items. If you don't want to plot out buying an item from the shop ICly, simply buy from an NPC. It's up to you. This marketplace, though is risky. It is well-hidden, so your character would need connections (probably an IC connection to the Left Hand which can easily be obtained by PMing someone who is in the Left Hand). You could also simply NPC getting an item from an NPC member of the Left Hand. Please note that character's who shop in the Black Market, staff will roll a dice to decide if they are caught or not. From there, if you are captured, you must add "Criminal Record: Black Market" to your profile thread, with a small paragraph about your character's time in jail, what they had been trying to buy, etc.. ICly, your character will have spent a week in jail and their magical item will have been confiscated.
ADDING THINGS TO EITHER MARKET
You can add things to the markets (and receive the funding for their sales) by PMing Vee . She will walk you through the process of having your character ICly create something, and put it up for sale as a one-time item (unless multiples of it are made) and it will be added to the shop until it is bought. Upon it's sale, that money will be added to the character account that created it ICly.
On the chance you do not want to receive funding for items that are sold, and simply want items available to your character to buy, PM Vee , and she will add them in if they are reasonable and don't require too much IC explanation. This is more likely the route to go with the Marketplace, rather than the Black Market.
EARNING BOLTS
Earning bolts is done by your post count, as well as a few other things. All earnings will be recorded on the character account, and will be viewable in the mini-profile. To claim bolts, you must PM Vee with the following:
EXAMPLE OF HOW THE TABLE SHOULD LOOK:
The easiest way to edit the below table code is to go into preview. :) You will want to add rows by right-clicking and saying: "add row below". :) Please ensure that you enter the TOTAL at the end of your table, after you have everything else. :)

BUYING FROM THE MARKETS
To buy from the markets, you simply log onto the character you wish to upgrade or add an item too, making sure they have enough funding as funding cannot be shared between character accounts. From there you post (to the store you wish to buy from):
[b]Character Name:[/b] @character
[b]Character Class:[/b] Non-Magic or Magic
[b]Character Rank:[/b] Nobility, Upper, Middle, Lower, Working, Impoverished
[b]Number of Bolts:[/b] Only on that account.
[b]Items:[/b] Item - Cost
[b]Payment:[/b] Here you do the math.
Example:
Character Name: Arasmus Nyler
Character Class: Magic
Character Rank: Impoverished
Number of Bolts: 1000
Items: Mystery Stone - 500
Payment: 1000 - 500 = 500
Character Class: Magic
Character Rank: Impoverished
Number of Bolts: 1000
Items: Mystery Stone - 500
Payment: 1000 - 500 = 500
