Quick start: Marketplace and LFG
Start with one goal: if you want items, use Marketplace; if you want teammates, use LFG. Both flows are designed to be short and practical.
Marketplace is best when listings are clear. Search the item you want, open a listing, and confirm the terms before meeting in-game.
LFG is best when group posts are specific. Include your objective and region so players can join confidently.
For best results, keep communication simple: what you're doing, when you're doing it, and what you need from the other player.
If you have any concern during a trade or group interaction, you can stop and use Support to report issues.
If you’re not sure what to do next, start by browsing recent listings and recent groups. The most active posts are often the easiest to coordinate.
When you post, add a short description that answers the obvious questions up front. Fewer follow-ups means faster matches.
Use the Trade Guide if you’re trading for the first time. It covers a safe, repeatable checklist that works for most item exchanges.
Raider's Market is a community tool: be respectful, keep messages clear, and help keep the list useful by closing posts you no longer need.
If you’re coming from another community, the flow here is straightforward: post once with clear details, then coordinate directly in chat.
The best posts answer the basics up front (what, where, when). That makes it easier for players to say yes and move to the next step.
If you don’t get a response, try rewriting the post with clearer terms or a smaller request. Clarity usually beats volume.
For item searches, use the exact name when possible. For squad searches, focus on the objective and time window first.
When you’re done, close listings and groups. Fresh content keeps the homepage useful for everyone.
If you’re browsing, open a few posts and compare details before committing. The clearest posts usually lead to the smoothest coordination.
If you’re posting, keep it honest and specific so the right players respond.
Over time, consistent and clear posts help build a healthier community.
If you want to start fast, try one small trade or one short run: small commitments are easier to coordinate and build trust.
Use simple language in listings and group titles. Clear intent beats clever wording when people are scanning quickly.
If you’re unsure whether a trade is worth it, skip it and look for another listing. You’ll usually find a better match.
