Doubloon exchange

The doubloon exchange allows members to exchange PoE for doubloons that other players have previously purchased, without going to individuals and haggling in a trade order interface. Doubloon exchanges are currently only found on doubloon oceans. Note that one cannot purchase doubloons from Three Rings for PoE, as doubloons only enter the ocean through the doubloon order interface, or Ocean Master-hosted events.

The doubloon exchange can be found inside any bank, placed inside any building by use of a cashbox, or accessed by clicking "Ye" on the sunshine widget, your name, then "Doubloon Exchange" in the top middle of the window.

The fees imposed on the doubloon exchange make the doubloon exchange one of the larger PoE sinks on doubloon oceans. The fee is a reduction in the amount of PoE that a doubloon seller receives if they successfully sell a doubloon. The following formula can be used to determine the fee:

'' The selling price divided by 50 should be rounded up. ''



To put it in a simpler fashion, the fee is 2% of the selling price, rounded up.

Outstanding Offers
When an offer is posted that can't be fulfilled by any of the offers on the exchange, it goes to the Outstanding Offers section. When posting an offer, the PoE/doubloons are taken immediately, and held in escrow. If the offer is the same as another offer as the same type, the offer will be put last (example: an offer to buy 1 doubloon for 1036 PoE when there are 10 at 1036 already will only be filled after the other 10 have already been filled). Multiple offers of the same price can be posted at once. Offers will remain up for 10 days, then they will be automatically canceled.

The lowest sell offer and highest buy offer are always filled first. If an offer is filled at less than the PoE price, the extra PoE is refunded to the doubloon buyer.
