Right now there are quite some steps one needs to take to buy an item on the Illuvidex.

Let's say I'm ingame and want to buy this Infused Resplendent Earth Gem.
Steps I have to take:

  • Navigate to illuvidex.illuvium.io (wait a few seconds for Cloudflare)
  • Click on the Marketplace dropdown -> Resources
  • Click on the Resources dropdown -> Gems
  • Click on the Tier dropdown -> Tier 5
  • Click on the Affinity dropdown -> Earth
  • Click on the Infused dropdown -> Infused

I timed this with my stopwatch, and it took me 1 minute 48 seconds. Now granted my laptop is pretty old, but this is way too long for an e-commerce experience.

Short term solution

  • add a link ingame that takes you out to the illuvidex to the item's page
  • display the floor price ingame

Medium term solution

  • move the illuvidex ingame

Ideal solution (not sure if technically feasible)

  • allow me to buy the item ingame directly using Solon/Hyperion/Crypton. Under the hood, convert my Fuel to ETH/USDC at the floor price and buy the item for me at floor price

signing every item is a real pain

If we could buy with fuel… we wouldn’t need to sign every time we buy… but people won’t want to load up on too much unnecessary fuel they can’t later sell if they don’t use it up, perhaps a new in game token that could be transferred in and out would be more feasible…

P2P will always be in eth, usdc

by new ingame token, i meant anything other than fuel.. so could be an eth or usdc equivalent... basically you use an offchain way to purchase something, and the company uses the blockchain to buy your item for you on the backend... not sure if that's possible.. it would mean that the company would have to do a signing transaction for you
