1. You must be level 10 or above to be able to open merchant mode now.

2. To trade or sell a pet, the pets skills for the dragon/horse MUST be reset. The dragon/horse must recover all of its technical points. You go to the Animal Trainer to reset their pet skills.

For the new pets, Itchi and Scrat-chi, you must take all their armor/weapon off to be able to trade. You can not reset their points, only just removing all armor and weapons.

3. The person who wishes to buy a pet or trade for the pet can not have two pets in his inventory. That is you can not trade in which you would get 3 pets now, of either group as stated above. You can only have 2 pets of the above combo at any time. So you can not buy another pet or trade to acquire another pet, if you have 2 pets already in your inventory. But you could each trade each other a pet. That is because at the end of the trade you will have the 2 pet max anyway. You can have 2 horses and 1 itchi and you could acquire another itchi or scrat-chi pet. But you could not get another dragon/horse as that would make more then the 2 horse/dragon combination.

Now with the new pets, Itchi and Scrat-chi, you can have a total of 4 pets. That is, 2 of a combination of dragon/horse and 2 combination of Itchi/Scratchi. That would have been nice for my pet trainer as i have problems at times trying to change pets.

4. Also, if all the above is correct and you try to open merchant mode with an item that can not be sold or stored, you will not be able to sell your pet. In other words, all items, pets included, must be a tradeable item.

5. If you are level 10 or above, try opening your merchant mode with just the pet and its skills reset. You should be able to open in merchant mode then. Then only two ways, you can not open. You are not level 10 yet or the pets skills have not been reset.

6. Now if you did step 5 and then put items with your pet in merchant mode and you can not open, then put items in one by one, to figure out which item is the "guilty party." Lot of times you are in a hurry and just happen to overlook an item.


7. Shop around and see what others are selling their pets for and this applies to armor and weapons too. You do not want to sell it too cheap. Now if you know the price already and there are not many pets for sale, then jack your price up from 10% to 25% more. You sell for what the market will bear. Sometimes people are hard up and desperate to get a pet.

8. Do you have the right number? If you have 10 attack minerals and you put 13 instead of 10, you will get the "You must have selected items for trading." So double check that the correct quantities are in the item or items you wish to sell.

9. Now if you are set up in Merchant Mode and you come back to check and restock, be careful that you do not try to put the same item back for sale. Sometimes when you sell an item, it ,may not disappear from your inventory. So if you put it an item up to sell and nothing happens, then you will know why. If you get frustrated then close shop and open it up again. Then all sold items will disappear from your inventory also.

10. You can not sell items that are covered. For example, i can not sell my dual swords with the fish bone covers. All weapons or armor must be without covers. If you have an item with a platinum refining stone on it, you may have to wait for whenever time that the Platinum refining stones wears off.

If after all of this you can not still sell your pet, then you must have really dissed the God Eres, lol

Conclusion

This should get your going on your way now. LC changed the level to sell to Level 10 to sell now, so a lot of high level players got new characters and some were not aware of this change. (Psst, don't tell no one that I was one of them. I double checked everything, took all the items off, one by one, with and without pet, till someone put the light on. I was level 9, And also, the line that reads "You must have selected items for trading" is just another way of saying, you can not open Merchant Mode because you put an item in there that should not be there. Well Hope this helps.

Then with the addition of the Traders in Randol, you can be any level to sell stuff now. But I am waiting for them to eventually change it to level 10 too, in the future.
