Presets
- Same Prices (100%)
Items are sold at full price - same as merchants pay. Perfect for testing or cheat-like fairness. - Fair Trade (80%)
Balanced gameplay - merchants offer most of the item's value. Recommended default. - Hard Bargain (70%)
Merchants pay less, representing tougher negotiations or market pressure. - Desperate Deal (50%)
Merchants only pay half the item's value. Use when gold should feel more earned. - Exploitation (40%)
Severe profit loss when selling - reflects a merchant-dominated economy. - Fleeced Alive (30%)
You're being ripped off. Only a third of the value is returned on sale. - Utter Robbery (20%)
Brutal setting - merchants exploit you fully. Gold is hard to come by.
