Editing (section) Marketplace 0 You are not logged in. ==What is the Marketplace?== The marketplace is an in-game item and feature shop that serves as a point of sale for a variety of services and items that can be used in-game for numerous purposes. A special currency, Daybreak Cash, is used to make purchases through the in-game Marketplace. *It's used to buy certain "for pay" services, such as character renames, server transfers, and feature unlocks. These items are not required to play the basic game and most of the items in this category are little more that extra content in smaller packages or services that are now delivered digitally. Examples include but are not limited to: :*Rather than requiring players to go out and buy content in a box like older expansions, this content is delivered digitally and automatically after purchase in the Marketplace. :*Rather than calling Daybreak customer service to arrange for a transfer of their character to another server, this is also done automatically after the player preps the character inventory for transfer. *In addition the Marketplace offers numerous "fluff" items that are just fun to own, but that don't radically alter game play, like [[Appearance|appearance armor]], [[Decorating Houses|extra furniture]], [[Prestige Housing|Prestige Homes]], and [[Mounts|some mounts]]. As of 2014, items that can be considered "fluff" are in no way required to play the game effectively. Even the mounts, which offer some stat bonuses, are not any more powerful that other mounts that players can get while completing quests and most of the mounts sold by [[Horse Merchant]]s. :*Because these items are extras, rather than necessities for game-play, inclusion of these items in the Marketplace makes it easy for the EQ2 staff to justify creating the additional "vanity" content many players clamor for, without the need to wait for new game expansions to be released. ===What is Daybreak Cash?=== Daybreak Cash (abbreviated as DB) is Daybreak virtual currency that players can buy to fund a virtual wallet. Once a wallet has been funded, Daybreak Cash can be used to purchase premium in-game items through the in-game Marketplace in Everquest 2. Your "Daybreak cash wallet" is shared across your entire account, no matter which character you are playing and which server you are on. In addition, the wallet and Daybreak Cash can be used in numerous games that Daybreak offers (like the original Everquest). :Daybreak Cash can be purchased through the Daybreak website, by using cards sold in some stores (like Best Buy or Walmart), and it is a benefit given to the those with [[Free-To-Play|All Access subscriptions]] (though the latter is subject to change). :*The ''typical'' exchange rate (in US Dollars) is $1.00 = 100 DBC, though this varies somewhat if there is DBC sale offered by Daybreak. :*The cost of purchased items can vary and is covered below in the section on Item Prices. See the Credits section at the bottom of this page for additional info provided by the Official Daybreak website and announcements. Though the following may change at any time, the following DBC promotions tend to recur: *You ''can'' get some Daybreak cash as a monthly "thank-you" stipend if you have a [[Free-To-Play|All Access membership]] *As of March 2014 and for about a year prior, you can potentially win free Daybreak cash if you "like" [[Daybreak Game Company, LLC]] and/or Everquest 2 on Facebook. The chance to win is usually offered on a Monday and applies to all Daybreak games. For details log into your Facebook account (if you have one) and search for the official pages.
