# Advance Vending {% embed url="" %} ### Overview The **Website Vending Purchase System** allows you to purchase items from player vending shops directly through the website, even when you're not logged into the game. This convenient feature lets you shop from anywhere, anytime, without needing to be in-game. ### Important: Player Must Be Offline ⚠️ **CRITICAL REQUIREMENT**: You **MUST be logged out of the game** (completely offline) when making purchases through the website. #### Why You Must Be Offline * **Items Go to Storage**: When you purchase items via the website while offline, all purchased items are automatically delivered to your **Storage** (Kafra Storage). * **Prevents Conflicts**: Being offline ensures there are no conflicts between the website purchase system and your in-game character state. * **Reliable Delivery**: Offline purchases are processed more reliably and items are guaranteed to be delivered to your storage. * **Safe Transaction**: This prevents any potential issues with inventory space, weight limits, or character state conflicts. #### What Happens If You're Online? If you attempt to make a website purchase while logged into the game, the purchase may: * Fail to process correctly * Cause items to not be delivered properly * Result in transaction errors * Require administrator intervention to resolve **Always log out completely before making website purchases.** ### How It Works 1. **Browse Shops**: Visit the website and browse available vending shops 2. **Select Items**: Choose items you want to purchase from any vendor's shop 3. **Make Purchase**: Complete your purchase through the website interface 4. **Log Out**: Ensure your character is completely logged out of the game 5. **Items Delivered**: Purchased items are automatically added to your Storage 6. **Collect Items**: Log back into the game and visit any Kafra NPC to retrieve your items from storage ### Purchase Processing * **Processing Time**: Purchases are typically processed within a few seconds to a few minutes * **Queue System**: Your purchase is added to a queue and processed automatically * **Vendor Status**: Works whether the vendor is online or offline * **Storage Delivery**: All items are delivered directly to your account's storage ### Item Delivery #### Where to Find Your Items * **Location**: All purchased items are delivered to your **Storage** (Kafra Storage) * **Access**: Visit any Kafra NPC in any town to access your storage * **No Inventory Space Needed**: Since items go to storage, you don't need free inventory slots * **No Weight Limit**: Storage has no weight restrictions, so you can purchase heavy items #### Item Types Supported * **Stackable Items**: Automatically stacked in storage * **Equipment**: Individual items delivered separately * **Cards**: Delivered as normal items * **Consumables**: Stacked if possible * **All Item Types**: Any item that can be vended can be purchased ### Requirements * **Account Access**: You must have access to the website with your game account * **Sufficient Zeny**: Your character must have enough Zeny to cover the purchase * **Offline Status**: Your character must be completely logged out * **Storage Space**: Ensure you have storage space available (though storage is typically very large) ### Tips for Best Experience 1. **Log Out First**: Always log out completely before making website purchases 2. **Check Storage Space**: While storage is large, ensure you have room for your purchases 3. **Verify Zeny**: Make sure your character has enough Zeny before purchasing 4. **Wait for Processing**: Allow a few minutes for purchases to process before logging back in 5. **Check Storage**: After logging back in, visit Kafra to collect your items ### Troubleshooting #### Items Not Received * **Wait Longer**: Processing can take a few minutes, wait a bit longer * **Check Storage**: Items are in storage, not inventory - visit Kafra * **Verify Purchase**: Check the website to confirm your purchase was successful * **Contact Support**: If items don't appear after 10-15 minutes, contact support #### Purchase Failed * **Check Zeny**: Ensure you have enough Zeny for the purchase * **Item Availability**: The item may have been sold to another player * **Vendor Closed**: The vendor may have closed their shop * **Try Again**: Wait a moment and try the purchase again #### Common Issues * **"Character must be offline"**: You're still logged in - log out completely * **"Insufficient Zeny"**: Your character doesn't have enough Zeny * **"Item not available"**: The item was sold or the shop closed ### Benefits * **Shop Anytime**: Browse and purchase items even when you can't log into the game * **No Waiting**: Don't wait for vendors to be online - purchase from offline vendors too * **Convenient**: Shop from your phone, tablet, or computer * **Safe Storage**: Items go directly to storage, no risk of inventory issues * **Mail Backup:** If storage is full, purchased item will be through mail * **24/7 Access**: Access the marketplace at any time *** **Remember**: Always log out of the game before making website purchases to ensure smooth delivery of your items to storage! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
