Market Scout

A helper that watches the Market Board for the items you want and pings you when someone lists one.

The Market Scout keeps an eye on the Market Board for you. Give it a short watch list, and it sends you a push notification the moment another player lists one of those items.

How it works

  1. Open the Market Board and tap the Scout button (the spyglass) at the top. Its dot turns green while the Scout is active.
  2. Add items to your watch list. For each one you can set a maximum price per item, or leave it open for any price.
  3. Activate the Scout with diamonds.
  4. Allow notifications, because that is how the alerts reach you.
Activation Time
25 diamonds 24 hours
60 diamonds 3 days
120 diamonds 7 days

Activation time adds up if you buy more while the Scout is already active.

Watch slots

You start with 2 watch slots. More slots are a one-time diamond purchase and stay yours forever, even while the Scout is not active.

Slot Cost
3rd 80 diamonds
4th 130 diamonds
5th 180 diamonds
6th 230 diamonds

Each item can be on the list only once.

Tips

  • Watch the rare things you cannot make yet, or the ingredients of your most valuable recipe. Common goods are listed all the time and do not need a Scout.
  • Set a sensible maximum price, so you only hear about real bargains.
  • Good deals go fast. Turn on notifications in your device settings, or the Scout cannot reach you while the app is closed.

For selling and buying, see the Market Board page and the Trading & Orders guide.
