What You Can Buy

The following categories of items are available for purchase through the Shopping window.

Furnishings

Furnishings are very common items in VMK used to decorate a Guest Room. The items are placed inside a room and can be moved and rotated to help you create a great design. There are many different types of furnishings as is evident in our Inventory pages. Some furnishings are Stackable, while others are not.

Once the shop window is open, you'll see a whole bunch of tabs on the top of the window. Find the "Furnishings" tab and click on it. A list of stores you have visited before will be shown. Click on the store's name to see the items that are available for purchase. For more details on a particular item like name and price can be obtained by clicking on the small image of the item on the right hand side of the window.

Pins

Pins are items you can wear on your lanyard and show to other people in the kingdom. Some pins are Magic Pins which allows players who are wearing them to perform magic, while others are normal, collectable pins (see Pin Sets and Other Pins). Pins have a wide variety of designs and themes. To buy pins, open your shop window and click the "Pins" tab at the top of the shop window. Then click the store you want to buy pins from and make your purchases.

Posters

Posters are items that can only be placed on guest room walls. They are similar to furnishings but cannot be rotated, stacked, or placed on the ground. Some posters can be slightly overlapped when placed on a wall. To buy posters, click on the "Posters" tab at the top of the shop window. Click the store you want to buy a poster from and start shopping.

Some articles of clothing are buyable, others have left been retired and are no longer on the shelves of VMK stores. To buy clothing, click the "Clothing" tab at the top of the shop window. The Clothing section is organized by clothing type- Hats, Tops, Bottoms or Shoes. Pick the kind of clothing you are interested in and get buying!

Rooms

Guest Rooms are rooms that are available to players. Players can use these rooms for a variety of things. They may choose to decorate and open their room to the public. Guest rooms are also commonly used for storage purposes. Furnishings and Posters can be placed on any accessible space in a room. If you want to see how others are using their guest rooms, take a look at the Guest Room list accessible from the map.

To buy a room, choose the "Rooms" tab at the top of the shop window. Use the arrows to choose the room you want and purchase it.

Specials

The Specials Tab while you're not in a store.

Specials are items that are either exclusive or sold for a limited time, generally a weekend or a during a particular themed month. Nobody knows for sure when items are going to be retired, so if there is an item you need, be sure to buy it before it is too late. To get the the specials, you must go to the shop you want to buy specials from. The Shop Button cannot be used to view specials if you are not inside a store. You must first go to the shop and then either click the shop button or the cash register. Once your shop window is open, find the "Specials" tab located on the far right on the top of the window and get shopping.
