Why trade

In a trade league you can buy the gear and currency you need instead of waiting for it to drop. Solo Self-Found characters can't trade with other players.

Prices are in orbs

There's no single coin. Players price things in currency, most often Chaos Orbs and Divine Orbs. A Divine Orb is worth many Chaos Orbs, and the rate moves through the league.

The Currency Exchange

Faustus runs the Currency Exchange. You meet him in Lioneye's Watch in Act 6, then he moves to your hideout. Pick what you have and what you want, and place an order; each order costs a little Gold. Orders fill while you play, and you can close one part way and keep what traded.

The Market

To buy an item, search the Market: the trade website, or press , in game. Filter by the stats you need. A listing with a buyout can be bought straight away, even if the seller is offline. A listing without one means a whisper trade.

Whisper trades

Send the seller the message the Market gives you. They invite you to their party, you go to their hideout, and you trade in the trade window. Check every item before you accept. You need a character of level 25 or more on your account to trade currency or uniques.

Selling

Put items in a Merchant's Tab at Faustus with a price. Other players buy them while you play, and you collect the currency from his Earnings Tab. Merchant's Tabs and Premium Stash Tabs come from the shop; with a public Premium Stash Tab, buyers whisper you instead and you trade in person.
