# Marketplace & Workshop

Xignal gives you two ways to get the Hardwares you need: craft them in the Workshop or buy them from other players on the Black Market.

### Workshop

The Workshop is where you create new Hardwares using $XIGN, Data, and Components.

Each crafting attempt produces a Hardware with a random Rarity. You never know exactly what you will create, making every craft a chance to discover more valuable hardware.

Hardwares require maintenance and can be repaired in the Workshop. If a Hardware is not maintained and its condition becomes critical, it can be permanently destroyed.

Craft the Hardwares you need for your Agent Build, maintain your hardware, or create valuable Hardwares to trade with other players.

### Black Market

The Black Market is Xignal’s player-driven Marketplace, where players can freely buy and sell supported Assets.

Trade Data, Hardwares, Components, Xignal Fragments, Xignals, and other supported Assets directly with other players.

Use the Black Market to find exactly what you need, sell Assets you no longer want, or trade valuable resources and hardware as part of your strategy.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://xignal.gitbook.io/xignal/gameplay/marketplace-and-workshop.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
