Ingot Trading FAQS
Q. What is ingot trading?
A. It is a trading system accessed through the NPC called Auctioneer. It let's you trade your Gold or Yuan with other players safely and efficiently. You also control the prices you want, whether you are selling or buying Gold.
Q. Where is the Auctioneer?
A.
| Sword City | South | 435 873 |
| Feather City | Central | 324 427 |
| Beast City | South | 249 637 |
| Dragon City | North | 541 685 |
| Dragon City | West | 529 659 |
| Dragon City | South | 539 623 |
| Universal City | West | 117 857 |
| Dream Port | South | 660 365 |
Q. Is it safe? Is the service for free?
A. It is very safe since all transactions are made via the auctioneer which ensures you that your Gold and Yuan are taken care of with utmost care. Of course this special treatment and trading will cost you 2% tax per transaction. If you are selling Gold, the 2% tax is paid in Gold. If you are buying Gold, the 2% tax is paid in Yuan.
Q. Wait a minute, I see something called silver? What is Silver?
A. Silver is the equivalent of centavos for Gold. 1 Gold = 100 Silver which is like 1 Peso = 100 Centavos. If you sometimes sell Gold in uneven amounts, you have to pay taxes in Silver because of the 2% tax.
Q. Woot! Im going to Sell Millions of Yuan and Gold in one go!
A. Hold your horses! Each transaction has a limit for safety reasons (maybe to avoid people from trading all their Gold or Yuan by mistake). You can only transact a maximum of 1000 Gold in each transaction. You can also transact a maximum of 1 million Yuan per piece of Gold in each transaction. Also Yuan is only transacted in multiples of 100. (see these diagrams for visual aid)
Q. What if I want to sell my Gold at a higher rate or buy Gold at a lower price that what is readily available with the auctioneer?
A. You can entrust your Gold or Yuan and sell them at your own price but if nobody buys/sells what you're trying to sell/buy after 3 days, the money you entrusted will expire and will be returned to you but the tax will be deducted from your original money. So it will be a risk since you could also lose money.
Q. Okay, I think I'm ready for ingot trading! What cards should i buy to load Gold into my account?
A. You can buy all kinds of Level Up cards including RF 500 cards, and Khan cards. After the merge of Level Up and Netgames, their cards are now universal for all the games they cater.
Q. Cool! Where do i load my cards?
A. You can load or top-up your cards through my level up site.

Pretty simple setup right?
Gold/Ingot BUYING
Now there will come a time when you want to acquire Gold in exchange for Yuan (also pronounced YEN by the way.. ). So head to the nearest Auctioneer NPC and do some ingot trading!
STEP 1
Go to the auctioneer and click ingot trading!
STEP 2
Make sure to click 'INGOT BUYING ENTRUSTMENT.' One way to check if you did, is to look at the tax. If the Cost/Tax is not in Silver or Gold, you are on the right track!
STEP 3
Now that you are on the right track, check the rates of the sellers of Gold to get an idea what is the normal or average buying rate of Gold. These are the rates in YELLOW in window 4. IF you see a rate that is good for you, then good since you can get the Gold right away. But if you dictate a rate/price that is not on the list, you will have to wait for the Gold to be traded when a player sells his Gold at the rate you dictated.
STEP 4
Now here is an example of an ingot buying transaction.
As you can see, I clicked 'ingot buying entrustment.' Then i checked the rates in YELLOW because that is the window with the rates per-unit-of-Gold being sold by other players. I highlighted the one with a rate of 1,300 Yuan per Gold piece; which is also 200 pieces of Gold is being sold at 1,300 Yuan per piece.
So, i type in the price which is 1,300 in the blank (see number 3). Then i type in the quantity of Gold i am willing to buy which is 200 pieces (see number 4).
Now you see that the total cost in Yuan is displayed along with the 2% tax; which is 260,000 Yuan subtotal and 2% tax of 5200 respectively [tax derived from 260,00 x 0.02 = 5200] (see numbers 5 and 6).
And I deposited the grand total of 265200 in my capital. (to deposit Yuan or Gold in your capital just click 'account money deposit' in number 8).
When everything is good and done, i just click on 'begin to entrust' to complete the transaction (see number 7). To check if i have received the Gold, i just click on 'refresh.' To get the transacted Gold from my capital, i just withdraw it from my capital (to withdraw Yuan or Gold in your capital just click 'account money withdrawal' in number 8).
And the you have it! ingot trading is done! You now have Gold bought through Yuan via the Auctioneer NPC!
