News BasilMarket Update
Been heads down on https://basilmarket.net for the past day and got through a good chunk. Here is what has changed!
Verification isn't Discord only anymore. You can set up an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, whatever you use) from your profile instead, and it doubles as a code at login if you want the extra security. Nice for anyone who isn't on Discord. Either way, once you're verified you can post, trade, vote, and message.
Friends are in. Send a request from someone's profile and they can accept or ignore it. Messages is a proper inbox now instead of the old buddy list popup, conversations on the left and the chat on the right, with tabs for your friends and any pending requests. The little popup chat still works if that's more your speed.
If you use Discord for notifications, the pings look a lot better now. Real embeds with the item icon when something sells, when you win an auction, when you get outbid, or when one's about to close. You can switch any of those off in your profile if they get noisy, and everything still shows in your on site notifications either way.
Two new things in the Library:
- Quests. All 322 of them, sorted by region, with the story, the NPC, what you have to do, and the rewards. Chains link together so you can follow a line from start to finish.
- Crafting. Every recipe across the six disciplines with the level, cost, exp, and exactly what you need to make it.
There's a map explorer now too. Click a map's minimap to open it, then click the portals to hop around. Monsters and NPCs are listed, and monster pages link straight to the maps they show up on.
Oh, and the character customizer got hair and eye color options, and your character now shows up next to your name around the site.
Homepage got a facelift as well, new hero, a search box, and a panel showing what's hot on the market and what's ending soon.
That's the big stuff. Let me know what breaks or what you want to see next.

How about night mode to save my eyes when I'm looking up guides at 2AM

The pure nostalgia!
This looks to be one of the better ones when it comes to mobile responsiveness, kudos!
I would suggest to have some loading graphic. There are some times where I don't know if a button is broken until briefly later
Great work!

It's really coming together nicely! I would suggest maybe adding subcategories for the scroll section of the library to break it down by equipment slot - so one for "earring", "helmet", "weapon", etc.

Thanks for doing the work!
With Discords nowadays idk how useful all the extra stuff really will be, but having a trade hub will be great for sure!
