Our next Modern client update will include some pretty extensive updates to trading. Read about them here!
(DIAMOND) FURNI-FURNI TRADING WITH TRADING TABLES
Habbos, I’m really excited to announce the upcoming introduction of trading tables to Habbo! Trading tables are one of the new ways in which you will be able to trade furni and credit furni between yourselves in the Unity client.
Code: trading_table
Name: Trading Table
Price: 10 credits
How do I use trading tables?
To trade a furni with another Habbo, one of you needs to place a trading table in a room in which the other Habbo is present. You both need to use the trading table, after which the owner can select the Habbo they wish to trade with from a list. This list consists of all Habbos that want to trade with the owner of the table.
Where can I get a trading table from and how much do they cost?
You can get a trading table from a new section of the Shop – ‘Trading tables’. You can find this section in the ‘By type’ category. They cost 10 credits.
Can I still trade without owning a trading table?
Yes. You can trade with someone else if they have a trading table.
Do I need to have a trading table to trade with other Habbos?
Either you or the Habbo you’re trading with needs a trading table, and it needs to be placeable in the room you’re both in.
Can I still trade furni for other furni and give furni to other Habbos for free?
Yes, as we promised in this article, we’re not taking away or changing the two core principles of trading as they currently exist in Habbo:
1. Being able to exchange any furni for any other furni (excluding non-tradable items, of course).
2. Being able to give another Habbo furni for free.
Why are the number of slots I have determined by my Travelling Salesman achievement?
We tied the number of slots you have in your trading table to your Travelling Salesman achievement to give a sense of achievement to those Habbos that trade a lot. This is common in gaming and we think it is a positive thing for Habbo.
Check the corresponding limits below:
No levels achieved: 2 slots
Level 1: 4 slots
Level 2: 6 slots
Level 3: 8 slots
Level 4: 10 slots
Level 5: 12 slots
NOTE: you can use the trading table as many times as you want. Having the extra slots just makes bigger trades involving more items easier.
Why couldn’t you leave trading the way it was?
After seeing how important the furni-furni trading mechanic is to the community, we decided to make it a bit more of a fun experience. Having a purpose-built trading table adds a new element and complements Habbo-run activities like rare trading rooms, coin shops, etc.
But that means that you can only trade in rooms where one of the two Habbos who want to trade can put down a trading table. Why are you restricting trading in this way?
Check the answer to the question above: “Why can’t you leave trading the way it was?”
(DIAMOND) TRADING USING THE AVATAR CONTEXT MENU
As promised in late June, we’ll also be giving Habbos that own both a trading pass and are level 15 and above the ability to trade directly with other Habbos without a trading table. Just like in the AIR client, you’ll be able to open a trade window with other Habbos by clicking on them and then clicking ‘Trade’.
Please bear in mind that both of these features are Unity only, and the AIR client’s traditional trading mechanic still works (but only in the AIR client). It’s important to note that you can’t trade with someone using a different client to you.
What is the ‘avatar context menu’?
This is the drop down menu that appears when you click on another Habbo.
What requirements are there to trade using the avatar context menu?
- You need to be level 15 or above.
- You need to have a trading pass.
- You cannot be tradelocked.
How do I open a direct trade with another Habbo?
If you satisfy the above requirements, click on the Habbo you want to initiate a trade with to open the avatar context menu. There, you’ll be able to see the ‘Trade’ option (IF you satisfy the above requirements).
Clicking ‘Trade’ will send a notification to the avatar you want to trade with. It will also open the trade window on your screen. The other Habbo needs to accept the trade request, after which you will both be able to trade.
Why have I only got 6 slots when using the context menu trade method, but Habbos using trading tables have 12?
Trading tables are designed to be a more premium method of trading. They need to be placed in rooms to be used and they cost 10 credits. In return for this you get added functionality – check the trading tables FAQ to find out more about them.
Why are the number of slots I have determined by my Travelling Salesman achievement?
We tied the number of slots you have available when using this method of furni-furni trading to your Travelling Salesman achievement to give a sense of achievement to those Habbos that trade a lot. This is common in gaming and we think it is a positive thing for Habbo.
Check the corresponding limits below:
No levels achieved: 2 slots
Level 1: 4 slots
Level 2: 6 slots
To have access to up to 12 slots, use a trading table.
Why does requesting to trade using the avatar context menu not automatically open a trade window for the Habbo I want to trade with?
We decided to introduce notifications for when another Habbo wants to trade with you to stop the opening of unwanted trade windows and the associated disruption of gameplay.
Why do you have to be level 15 or more to initiate trades?
We wanted to give a sense of importance and value to trading. It’s important to bear in mind that even Habbos with a level lower than 15 are still able to trade, they just need someone else to initiate the trade with them. So they can, for example, still be paid in credits for activities in roleplaying and fansite rooms.
