Money & Shops
After a new character is accepted, that account is awarded a beginning sum of $5000 for necessary supplies. Ranchers will use this to buy acres of ranch land from Gaia Ranch on the Island, while advanced trainers of the other classes may use it to buy their first few award items for a little jump-start on their journeys as detailed in this thread.
With our money code, every account earns money for posting and replying to threads. This money is used to buy supplies and Pokemon, especially in regards to our Outlets and the various Pokemarts around Ascua. The link to the Outlets is on the navigation bar at the top of site, and is our specialty shop for this site. It sells key items, TMs, evolution stones, and breeding incenses that every rancher, trainer, or coordinator may use. Once the character purchases his/her items from the Outlets, his/her money will be properly deducted from the account, and the character may add the items into his/her character's PC. The images of the items will also show up on the character's profile.
Every item in the Outlets may only be purchased once. Characters do not need (or are not allowed) more than one of the key items, as evolution items, breeding incenses, and TMs are reusable. Items on the Pokemart threads, however, are able to be purchased in bulk if the character wishes to. The character only needs to role-play what he/she is buying and the amount of money that the staff needs to deduct from his/her account.
Ranchers have the ability to set up their own shop threads in Gaia Island's Marketplace board, where they can sell and trade Pokemon and the eggs that they breed, as well as any other goods they may have and wish to sell. While characters can be anywhere in their journeys to shop at the Outlets, characters must be on Gaia Island, which has boats running all day from the major port cities of the regions, in order to shop at the ranch stalls.
With the ranch stalls, characters pay for their goods through the use of the donation system. Once the characters have figured out a price for an item, the paying character uses the donation button on the shop owner's mini-profile. To receive a donation, one must use the button in the lower-left corner of the site to accept the money.
If there are any difficulties with the payment system, or any other questions, just PM a staff member.
