The Marketplace

Characters earn in-character money called "Gests" during the course of their adventures. These Gests can be used to upgrade existing equipment or purchase new equipment as shown on any of the Tables:

• Armour
• Weapons
• Potions
• Scrolls
• Items

Purchasing In-Character Equipment

This equipment can either be purchased:

• on an event, in-character via some merchants
• sometimes at the start of an event when a member of the Heroquest Admin staff are present
• between events by contacting the Admin team.

It is always worth taking your Gests with you to a dungeon in case the opportunity arises for you to make a purchase.

Yellow Cards

Whenever you purchase or obtain an item, you will be given a Yellow Card for that item.  The Yellow Card contains the details of the item (description and number of charges etc) and is proof that you own the item.

These Yellow Cards should be taken with you on each dungeon you play and the Referee may ask to see them; they are also required to mark off any charges used etc. during an event. The Yellow Cards are an Out-Of-Character item, they are only seen out-of-game for reference (i.e. they are not attached to in-game items).

Each Yellow Card for a permanent item will have a unique reference number on it, this is to identify the item and who owns it. You should place all of your items and reference numbers on your battleboard and let HQ Admin know the reference number of any new items that you obtain. This is a back up measure in case you actually lose your Yellow Cards and can be used by HQ Admin to prove that you own the said item.

If you end up with an item you do not want, you can sell or trade it to other characters. This can be done in real life, when you meet them in person or via the website. You cannot normally sell/trade items back to your guild.
