6: Buying Selling

=oull %ant to #uy some stu&& &rom time to time %hile you play and selling your e'cessinventory is a good %ay to get some e'tra cash! Since you cant thro% %eapons they dont

Be sure to scroll do%n the list to see i& there is anything more %hen making a purchase!Also you can manipulate the amount that you #uy #e&ore completing the sale! 2his makes

it easy to #uy say a do4en tonics instead o& #uying them one #y one@

1nce you sell something its gone &or good so %atch out@ 9nlike Kings >ield 00 thereisnt a merchant that ends up %ith everything that you sell to people!

selling the item in ;uestion!

2here isnt any %ay to get a dealN or a saleN nor does it help to shop around &or the#est prices all items sell &or the same amount no matter %here you get them! 2hat also

means that merchants %ill all #uy your inventory &or the same amount!
