✦
✦ Arcane Item RMT
The Arcane Item system is TimeRO's official bridge between an in-game item and your website inventory. Using the Arcane Forger NPC, you convert ("mint") an eligible in-game item into a website-listed Arcane Item that can be safely negotiated, transferred, or sold through the server's official external trading structure.
In one sentence: RMT (Real Money Trading) on TimeRO is only safe and staff-recognized when the item is first minted into your website inventory as an Arcane Item. If it isn't minted, it isn't official — and staff cannot protect the trade.
What Is This For?
❓ The Problem
Traditional item trading relies on screenshots, chat promises, and trust. Disputes are common and hard to resolve, because there is no neutral record proving who owned what, when.
✅ The Solution
Minting an item creates a permanent, server-side website record of that exact item — its refine, cards, and ID. Ownership is now visible and verifiable, so trades can be tracked and protected.
Overview
🌐 Official Item-to-Website Conversion
The Arcane Forger takes one eligible item from your character inventory, consumes it in-game, and creates a matching record inside your website inventory. This lets the item exist outside the character inventory as an Arcane Item that you can trade externally with a safety net.
This system is designed to reduce confusion and item disputes by creating a visible website-side record of the item being traded.

Important Warnings
⚠ Irreversible Minting
Once an item is successfully minted, it is removed from the game inventory and converted into a website inventory record. There is no "un-mint" option. Do not mint items casually. Only mint an item when you are sure it is the correct item and you understand the consequences.
●The minting process is irreversible after success.
●Always confirm the item name, refine level, and card status before minting.
●Do not rely on screenshots, chat promises, or external claims without checking the website inventory record.
●Staff will not treat non-Arcane, informal promises as equivalent to an official minted item record.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
| Symptom
|
Fix
|
| The item is not in the NPC list
|
Make sure it is unequipped and sitting in your character inventory (not cart, storage, or guild storage).
|
| NPC says no website owner found
|
Your game account is not linked. Link it through the Account System, then talk to the NPC again.
|
| Item disappeared but nothing on website
|
If website insertion fails the item is returned automatically — relog and check your inventory. If it is truly gone, contact Support with the time and item name.
|
| Wrong refine/cards on the record
|
The record reflects exactly what was minted. Always read the confirmation screen carefully — it cannot be edited after minting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I turn an Arcane Item back into an in-game item?
This page covers minting (game → website) only. Whether an Arcane Item can be redeemed back in-game depends on the server's trading rules — check
Website Inventory and
Rules.
Does minting cost anything?
Minting consumes 1 unit of the selected item. Any additional fee is set by server policy — confirm the cost shown on the NPC screen before you proceed.
Why must I unequip the item first?
Equipped items are excluded from the selection list by design, to prevent accidentally minting gear you are actively wearing.
Is an informal trade promise as good as a minted Arcane Item?
No. Staff only recognize the official website record. Screenshots and chat promises are not protected.
