​
Trade Types

​
Supply Trades

Use Supply when you have resources to sell:
  • You own the items
  • You want to find buyers
  • You set the asking price
Example Supply Trade: 
Type: Supply
Resource: Ceramic
Quantity: 5000
Quality: Rare (2)
Price: 2.5 flots per unit
Region: EU

​
Demand Trades

Use Demand when you want to buy resources:
  • You need specific materials
  • You’re willing to pay
  • You set your offer price
Example Demand Trade: 
Type: Demand
Resource: Iron Ore
Quantity: 10000
Quality: Any (0)
Price: 1.0 flots per unit
Region: NA

​
Quality System

Materials in Last Oasis have quality levels:
  • 0 - Common: Standard quality, most abundant
  • 1 - Uncommon: Slightly better stats
  • 2 - Rare: Good quality, moderately rare
  • 3 - Epic: High quality, harder to find
  • 4 - Legendary: Best quality, very rare
Higher quality resources produce better crafted items. Price your trades accordingly.

​
Resource Selection

The resource dropdown is searchable: 
// SearchableSelect component
// Located at: src/pages/TradeSystem.tsx:186-198
  1. Click the resource field
  2. Start typing to filter (e.g., “iron” shows all iron-related items)
  3. Select from filtered results
  4. The dropdown shows localized item names
All craftable items and resources from the game are available in the trading system.

​
Regional Trading

Filter trades by server region:
  • EU: Europe
  • NA: North America
  • OCE: Oceania
  • AS: Asia
  • All: Show all regions
Different regions have different:
  • Server populations (more traders)
  • Resource availability
  • Price ranges
  • Time zones for coordination
Filter by your region to find trades you can actually complete.

​
Pricing Your Trades

The price field is per unit:
  • If you’re selling 5000 Ceramic at 2.5 flots each
  • Total trade value = 5000 × 2.5 = 12,500 flots
Pricing Tips:
  1. Research: Check existing trades for the same resource
  2. Quality premium: Charge more for higher quality
  3. Bulk discount: Consider lower per-unit prices for large quantities
  4. Supply/Demand: Adjust based on market conditions
  5. Region: Prices vary by region based on availability

​
Performance Optimization

  • Server-side filtering reduces client load
  • Pagination limits data transfer
  • Client-side rendering for smooth UX
  • Cached item lists for fast dropdown population

​
Troubleshooting

Solution: Make sure you’re logged in with Discord. The publish form only appears for authenticated users.
Solution: Use the searchable dropdown. Type part of the resource name to filter. If it’s still not there, it may not be a tradeable item.
Solution:
  • Check your filters - they may be too restrictive
  • Click “Clear Filter” to see all trades
  • Try searching in “All” regions
  • The resource may genuinely have no active trades
Solution:
  • Make sure you’re logged in with the same Discord account that created the trade
  • Only the creator can delete a trade
  • Try refreshing the page

​
Future Enhancements

Potential features being considered:
  • Trade expiration dates
  • Automatic trade matching
  • Price history and trends
  • Reputation system for traders
