You know what I hate? When you’re walking around in Splatoon 3 in normal clothes when some dude walks by in the flashiest getup in the universe. I want to be the flashiest dude here! Luckily, I have a source for all things in fresh fashion. Here’s how to order gear from Murch in Splatoon 3.
How to Order Gear from Murch in Splatoon 3
Murch is a tall orange sea urchin guy hanging out on the wall next to the lobby entrance in Splatsville. He sure got tall in just a couple of years… anyway, once you’re at least level 4, he’ll offer his services to you. Murch can futz with the sub-abilities on your gear as well as deliver orders from the SplatNet shop, but his most interesting service is his Gear ordering service.

As you walk around Splatsville, you’ll see Inkling and Octoling avatars of other players wandering about. If you stand next to one and press A, you can get a readout of what they’re wearing, plus the abilities each Gear piece bestows. If you like what you see, click the Order button underneath their profile window to give Murch a call. Murch can place an order for up to three pieces of Gear at once, either all from the same player or from different players. Just choose the Gear you want, confirm your selection, and he’ll get to work.
Here’s the first catch: Murch needs time to get his orders in. Whenever you place an order, it’ll take until midnight in real life the following day for him to get it in. As more days pass, more of the gear you ordered will come in. You can pick up your order by talking to Murch, but his queue can only hold three pieces. If you order more gear without picking up your existing orders, he’ll have to trash the orders at the back of the queue.
Secondly, Murch can’t always duplicate Gear abilities perfectly. While the Gear’s primary ability will be the same, there’s a chance the sub-ability slots won’t carry over. Even if the gear you ordered had full slots, you might get a version with only one slot.
Finally, pricing. This service ain’t cheap, and Murch is passing the costs onto you. Depending on the rarity of the Gear you’re ordering and how many ability slots it had, it’ll cost more. A highly-rated piece of Gear could cost you up to 100,000 Cash. You won’t actually know the price until Murch gets the order in, but if you don’t like the price, you can just tell him to scrap it.
