Using A Boost Runner To Order From A Player Shop

To use a BOOST RUNNER to purchase an item from a shop and deliver it to you:

  1. Withdraw a promissory note for the price of the item and keep it in your hand.
    • NOTE: a note in the local currency is fine and does not require any exchange
    • Exchange rates apply when the note is not in the local currency
    • Note does not need to be in the exact amount (can be over, cannot be under) -- change will be given
  2. Type BOOST RUNNER if needed to redeem a use of the locker/bank runners.
  3. Use SHOP in-game to find your item.
  4. Once you find the item:
    • In Stormfront you can simply click the item
    • Otherwise enter SHOP PURCHASE <item number>

Note: Standard and F2P characters can use an Urchin Runner Boost to purchase items from playershops located at Mist Harbor/Four Winds Isle.
