As of now, the entire Market System will be revamped. Instead of using USDs and Credits as a means of currency, we will be using a Credit Currency System alone.
What are credits?
Credits are basically the one and only currency on Avatar RPG: Clash of the Elements. Credits can be won or earned through winning contests, tournaments, or anything else that credits may be rewarded to the winners. You can use credits to purchase products amongst other things in the Extras Market.

How Do I Buy Something?
It's actually fairly simple. Just go to the proper 'Sticky' in the Extras Market and look through the many options available for purchase until you find everything you'd like to buy. Once you're done, simply copy and paste the template code into a reply and fill out all of the required information, before posting it. Always make sure that you have the appropriate amount of credits to your account. Once submitted, your purchase will be approved by the head administrator.

What is the Point in Purchasing Things?
Most things that you are able to purchase in the Extras Market, such as special elements, are only available for sell! Meaning that they can not be trained, earned, or obtained through any other means or method. And those that can be earned through training or another means often takes a lot more time than it would to just pay for it using credits.

In the brand new market system, you will also be able to apply for and rent your very own shop! Once purchased, the head administrator will make the topic for your shop so that you may begin your sells!

Also, along with the revamp, all things concerning the Extras Market and Awards have been reset. Meaning you all members currently have 0 credits and 0 awards until they re-apply for them. All special elements, purchased rank-ups, etc are reset as well until you once again, purchase them,

However, Kuja will be reverted to the credits, plus an additional two credits, that he won from the advertisement contest, just not the special element.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation,
Roxax; Your Friendly Neighborhood Site Administrator
