Learn how to use DreadMarket and get the most out of it

🏪 What is DreadMarket?

DreadMarket is a real-time trading hub for Dreadmyst Online. It automatically captures items linked in game chat and displays them on this website with full stats, price history, and seller information.

Think of it as an auction house browser - except the data comes directly from live game chat. When someone links an item in Trade or All chat, it appears here within seconds.

📖 How to Use the Site

Browsing Items

  • Search: Use the search bar to find items by name or seller
  • Category Tabs: Filter by Weapons, Armor, Rings, Necklaces, or Consumables
  • Advanced Filters: Click "⚙️ Advanced Filters" for level, price, stat, quality, and more
  • Click an Item: View full stats, price history chart, and similar listings

Contacting Sellers

  • Click any item to open its detail modal
  • Copy the /w SellerName whisper command to message them in-game
  • If they linked their Discord, you'll see it displayed on the item card

Live Chat

The Live Chat page shows all Trade and All chat from the game in real-time. Great for seeing what's being bought and sold right now.

💬 In-Game Chat Commands

When you post in Trade or All chat, you can use these special commands to add extra info to your listings:

@YourDiscordName
Links your Discord handle to the item listing. Buyers can see it on the item card.
Example: "WTS [Godly Sword of Fire] 50k @MyDiscord#1234"
[number] or [number]k
Sets the asking price for your item. Use "k" for thousands.
Example: "WTS [Holy Staff] 25k" or "WTS [Ring] 500"
sold [Item Name]
Marks your listing as sold. The item will be grayed out on the site. You can type the item name since you won't have it to link anymore.
Example: "sold Godly Steel Sword" or "sold [Godly Steel Sword]"

Tips for Getting Noticed

  • Link your items: Shift-click items in your inventory to link them in chat
  • Include a price: Listings with prices show up in price searches and price history
  • Add your Discord: Makes it easy for buyers to contact you even if you're offline
  • Use Trade chat: Trade and All chat are both tracked, but Trade is the standard for trading
