Mall Suggestions for a new player starting a shop?

They have a lot of paths to get there that’s linked. I always use the first ring one on Biitula because it’s like directly out from from my own shop portal lol.

I’ve had “that last step was a doozy” incidents now several times there. :rofl: Weird thing was once I managed to not die from the fall while not hitting the water either.

On the shop question, I’ve been a little selfish I admit… my strategy has been to focus on my own place, so I put my shop stands in the center of a group of portals and though I keep intending to, just never went with joining someone else’s place. As long as I basically undersell most everyone, it has worked well, certain things move very quickly, and while the shopping area might not look like much at least it provides a convenient service to others with the portals, I do want my settlement to be helpful to newcomers, which Alder being lv 1 we see our share of there.

I went there to check it out, as I was looking for another planet say a portal with that name.

It is nice and I really enjoyed the setup. The only problem, and it is out of your control, is that some of the shops have too high a price. One wanted 200coins for a critter trophy, a horn I think, and I had bought some at @ginabean mall for around 50coins, not sure of exact, but it wasn’t over 100c

I only checked out ones selling trophies, so can’t say anything about others shops.

I visited the organized mall a few times and I saw shops with very good prices… Same thing in Naughty Mall … We are very proud of the traders we have accumulated in this mall. There is some store where I will continue to buy for sure

The one thing I will never do is say this mall is too expensive to shop at. The shop owners chose what price to charge and it is on them if they can sell the items at a lower price.

My stating it was too high, compared to another shop can go two ways, the higher prices shops may go lets drop it a bit or the lower priced shops will go lets raise our prices a bit.

Perfect one would be, surprisingly, a bit of both, one could raise to make a bit more but not too much and the other could also lower and would then sell more, which would make up the difference.

I’ll be going back to the Organized Mall again to look at other shops, my focus was on trophies and other critter parts used to make forging mats. I like the layout, that makes it so much easer, all shops of one type are in this area so if I want to look for just tools, or food I go to that section, not have to run past and spend time searching all the shops, wasting my time when nowadays, I don’t have as much as I did before.

I encourage players to go to New Golda Market, Naughty Mall, Organized Mall and G. Mall, Duskmoor, finally got the name of the city that is beautiful, it has changed, not in a negative way, but I didn’t find the shopping area I had the last time, internet trouble, connections, so gave up and went home.

I am sure that there are many other great malls, I haven’t either visited them or have forgotten their name, if I remember it I will post it. For the OP, it would be a good idea to see them and get ideas of what they want, how to set up their shop and what prices to ask, and even if there are too many shops selling same items and they might be better waiting or picking something else to sell.

if I’m not mistaken I saw brick at 5c in the organized mall. Hard to beat

I noticed that as well. That’s why the shop we do have there is one of the most affordable. The mall does save a lot of time because you know exactly where to look. The mall owner did a very good job about that!

I agree with this 100% I started Tamels wares outside “the all block shop” and got myself a few regulars and a few non regulars looking for a good deal. Thought I was doing good. @Saalt convinced me to move to Duskmoor, I kept my PS bitula portal and moved shop. Business has ramped up 5x of what it used to be due to the sheer amount of traffic in the DSK hub. If you have good prices your wares will move. Sometimes faster than you want them to.
