C.R.E.D.D.: You’ve heard about it for months, but you may still be unsure what it means. This in-game item can either be purchased with in-game gold through the game's Commodities Exchange or on the WildStar website  for real-life currency. So whether you’re an in-game economist or real-life financial mogul, you can maximize your play time with C.R.E.D.D.
 
Say you’re short on cash but still want to play. You’ll be able to purchase C.R.E.D.D. for gold and never miss a sweet moment of gameplay. Or, if you’re the next Phineas T. Rotostar, you can make piles of gold buying C.R.E.D.D. on the WildStar website and selling it on the C.R.E.D.D. Exchange!
 
If you want more information about how C.R.E.D.D. works, check out our business model page here.

			Thank u for the C.R.E.D.D. a safe way to buy gold and if only more people would just buy it and not from gold farmers we could stop the spamming that we all hate so much	
----
			I like this system alot, it remembers me of the PLEX system in EVE. The only thing that momentarily bugs me will be the price on the market for this. Lets just hope it will be a somewhat affordable.	
----
			So since you charge $5 USD more for CREDD than it cost for the month of gameplay ($15) is it safe to assume that there will be no broker cost cut for the gold transaction in game? 	
----
			
Bought a C.R.E.D.D just now and I got a mail which says "Your C.R.E.D.D purchase was completed" from Phineas T. Rotostar but there was no item included, my gold got taken too.
 
Nvm, its in the Account Inventory, above the Boom-Box.	
----
			Great, but how do you get it out of the account inventory? When you hit, "bind to account" are you essentially using the CREDD or just placing it in your inventory and now able to sell it?	
----
			Bind it to account, not to character.  There are threads on this.	
----
			Where are these mystical threads that describe how you sell CREDD in game?

			How long does it take for it to hit your in game inventory?  The website shows I have 1 but my account inventory doesn't show it yet.	
----
			Carbine: Where's the FAQ on the mechanics of actually buying and selling CREDD?	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I truly would like to see that but I think it's something we need to find out ingame. Maybe if someone that already done it can give is this info.
----
			So if you buy a CREDD from the Wildstar Store ($20 option) are you only able to gift it?

There's a 25g broker fee that comes out of the purchaser's end. You can click on a sale in the credd exchange and it shows you. You won't buy anything because it requires a confirmation

If you purchase a C.R.E.D.D. through the in-game broker by posting a buy order there is a broker fee of only 8g not 25g. I can neither confirm nor deny that the 25g broker fee applies for the buy now option.
 
There really needs to be something in the account page that shows the applied game time. So far there is nothing (I applied my C.R.E.D.D. yesterday). I'm just kind of hoping that everything was applied ok, and come July 4th I will still be able to play.

Those are very good articles and cover both those topics very well. However, the mechanics of buying from the store, binding to account and NOT binding to character to be able to sell it in game isn't covered anywhere, and what a lot of people were tripping over yesterday.

			I'd like to know if Carbine is going to set the base value for CREDD. With players constantly underbidding each other it drives the prices into the crapper. If we buy CREDD to sell it in game, then there should be a point at which the exchange rate is held at a fair point so it doesn't become mere copper per CREDD. I thought i read somewhere this was the case...I mean if we're spending 20 bucks we should be guaranteed a reasonable return. Now I can't find any info on this at all. I mean is this the case or was I imagining things?

If you go to your account page. On the right, get rid of the annoying "Upgrade to Delux" box if it's there, and it shoudl let you know when the game is playable until. Mine now says Aug 2nd.

It's Market driven. If you don't like the gold you can get for it. Hold onto it. Once the supply dries up, you can set a better price. And with that being said, I've only seen the price down to about 2 plat, so it's not exacly a copper, is it.
----
			
It's not 5g or 25g ... it's 5% of whatever buy order you place (not sure about creating sell order, that is probably free, think CX mechanics for CREDD).
 
 
Someone can confirm that you can cancel buy orders (and loose the 5% ofc) ? You can. Still not sure how creating sell orders works for CREDD (fees? cancel at any time?).  Either way that's there so you don't keep removing the order and undercutting but 1 copper and artificially lowering the price.
 
EDIT: which is working...but it could do with even more restrictions, maybe, like 1 buy order / x hours (not to many). It was obvious some guy got like 4+ CREDD in a row with buy orders in a 20 min period at 8 am for 2.1.1.1 (he had the money, good for him) but it sort of screwed the ppl below since it went back up to 2.90.1.1 in the next few hours + the 5% fee wasted (if it doesn't go back down that far). Everything for ppl with lots of gold (and no restrictions to gains from it) while everyone else has to deal with piles of crap, with real money involved ...eh...Can you resell CREDD that you get with buy orders? You can (not sure of fees, in some servers it might still be profitable) which sort of  sucks, it takes 1 guy with enough money to keep posting buy orders for +1 copper (or the same amount if he gets the 1st filled), all the while messing with ppl below that order and then selling the CREDD back for up to 35% more (-fees, if there are any, but still profitable) with sell orders.
 
 
They should leave it unregulated but that does mean eventually you will have the 5% at the top with raiding lewt and hundreds of plat and then 10% at the bottom (that is willing to sell CREDD) so a very great deal of ppl will not be able to get it after a point which is kinda sad but kinda planed. (We knew that's how it works but I think it will be worse that anticipated. I'm not opposed to a cap, a HIGH one, at a way later date, if needed, on max sell price but I'm not going to ask for it.)
 
 
 
Also, since it seems you can see CREDD in account services...can we get (not right now) an option to also consume it from there (or somewhere else) so that we can use CREDD we have bound to the account AFTER OUR GAME TIME EXPIRES (for whatever reason). Atm it's pretty clear that if you have x CREDD items bound to account and you want a 2 week break you either lose 2 weeks game time (activating one before you leave) or you pay 15$ when you come back and then (if no more breaks) activate CREDD again which is just sad (for the ppl who farmed the hell out if it to buy that CREDD anyway).

Yes, I got that it's market driven. Wow. No need to be rude or condescending.
----
			With tax a CREDD is almost $22 for me.  I won't be selling CREDD for a mere 3-4 plat that any 50 can earn in just a few hours of game play.  More power to you if you want to but, until / unless the price gets over 10 plat, I'm not going to participate..... why spend $22 to get something you can do yourself in 3-4 hours?	
----
			
What is the point of the CREDD if you suddenly loose all the platinum  by some "bug"? Yeah the platinum you earned by selling CREDD to other players. 
Obligatory congratulations: You have amazing business model! All idea of CREDD get ruined by some server issues.
Game is awesome! But thing like this can ruin everything. 
P.S. i'm sensing upcoming visit from your ProtoStar department to your Chua department :)	
----
			Yes credd is now purchasable!  Can I access the one I purchased? No.  Why?  Because my account inventory is completely gone, kaput, missing.

GG Protostar ,you got me,and my credit card,there... 
So long and thanks for the fish.

			Bought CREDD 7 days ago, clicked it, it disappeared, emailed support, got one copy/paste response saying it would appear in a day. Six days later, still no CREDD. However, they were gracious enough to take my money from the bank and haven't received so much as a "it's being worked on" after 6 attempts of attempting to contact support.	
----
			
the C.R.E.D.D system is broke if you ask me. my server offers credd for 4.4 platinum. to buy a credd it cost a flat 19.99 if i bought that from a gold farmer i could buy  months subscription AND have 8 platinum left over for giggles. i think this system needs to be revamped. or i need to get the facts straight. something just doesnt click here if this were intended to be a cure all to the gold buying system i think it just made it worse.
 
 	
----
			
Um, is there going to be a fix for disappearing credd? I clicked it, it vanished. Support asked for my payment info, I sent it. No reply days later.
 
Time to open a dispute? C'mon!

It's...part of this site o.O
 
You can also get there by going to the top of this page and clicking on "Support Site" then searching credd. That will get you to the official informations.
