The Cloth Bazaar is a location accessed from the Nexus. Two Cloth Bazaars are located in the Nexus in each server, one on each side of the main area. The Cloth Bazaar primarily sells dyes and cloths, but is also an area for players to host private dungeons.
| Item type | Location |
|---|---|
| Clothing Dyes | West, Central West |
| Accessory Dyes | South, Central South |
| Large Cloths | East, Central East |
| Small Cloths | North, Central North, occasionally on South and Central South mixed with Accessory Dyes |
Due to its semi-private location, the Cloth Bazaar is a popular location for players to host private dungeons. Most commonly, these involve dungeon keys bought from another player, or when one player wishes to host for a group of players in different guilds.
The specific location of a bazaar dungeon is usually given in the following format: “(server) left/right.” Example: USE2 Left means that the dungeon will be in the left bazaar in the Nexus of the USEast2 server.
Players are not usually recommended to enter dungeons opened in a bazaar without explicit permission from the opener. Doing so is known as dungeon crashing, and is heavily frowned upon in the community. Players should assume that dungeons opened in the bazaar are intended to be private, unless told otherwise.
This used to be a bigger issue before Patch X.31.3.0 (Feb 2019) but this update gave the player who uses a key in a bazaar the ability to kick other players out of the dungeon, using the command /kick [player name].
It is possible to enter the central fountain in the bazaar using teleporting classes (i.e. Trickster Prisms or Rogues with Cloak of the Planewalker). A player may also enter using a technique known as “X-walking”, but this is abusing an exploit. If there is a player in the fountain, others may teleport to the player by typing “/tp (name)”, even though teleportation via the player menu is disabled in the bazaar. Some players choose to open dungeons in the fountain in an effort to prevent dungeon crashing.
Level 1 Wizards with a default name will frequently be seen patrolling a Cloth Bazaar in a set movement pattern before leaving. These characters are bot accounts owned by RealmEye to gather data regarding current bazaar inventories in each server, which can be seen here.
The bazaars were added in Release 9 (Jan 2013).
From Hotfix X.15.0.0 (June 2017), players entering a bazaar are required to wait 30 seconds before being able to enter any dungeon portal opened there. This was implemented to counter players using notification bots to track and crash dungeons that were intended to be private. This means anyone who is not already in the bazaar when a key is used cannot enter the dungeon portal, because the portal only remains for 30 seconds.
The /kick command as described in the Dungeon hosting section above was added in Patch X.31.3.0 (Feb 2019) as a further move to keep unwanted players out of key-opened dungeons hosted in the bazaars.
In Exalt Version 2.1.0.0 (Oct 2021) the Cloth Bazaar was removed from the game and completely reworked and was replaced by the Grand Bazaar.
