Pins

What are Pins?

Pins are items that when worn can be seen in your profile underneath your signature. You can purchase pins under the "Pins" section in the various VMK shops. Some pins are only released for a limited time, and these are usually found under the "Specials" tab in the VMK stores. Often VMK will release pins in a series during the weekends of a particular month, and these pins are made available for purchase in the Emporium.

Wearing Pins

Your character can wear up to fifteen pins to be displayed in your profile. To wear pins, while in the "Pins" section of the inventory screen click on the pin you would like to wear. This pin will now appear in the inventory window with a yellow box around it and an enlarged image of the pin will be displayed on the right. To wear the pin and have is appear in your profile, click the orange "Wear" button. To take a pin off, click on a pin in the "Pins Worn" area of the window and then click the orange button that says "Take Off". You can also choose to "Sell" or "Combine" magic pins of the same time on this screen.

Looking at Other Player's Pins

When you click on a player in the game, it brings up their profile. In the profile, all the pins a player is wearing are displayed. By clicking one time on a pin in displayed in the profile, text will appear below the pins giving the pin title. If you double click on a pin in the player's profile, a new window will open with a larger inventory picture of the pin and information such as pin title, pin owner, trade status (tradeable or nontradeable), magic word (for magic pins), and expiration (for single use magic pins).

Pin Inventory History

VMK characters were originally allowed to wear eight pins. When VMK increased this number to fifteen, the Pin Inventory window changed. This is an image of the old Pin Inventory window.
