DEATH MERCHANT
TIPS & TRICKS
Atarius Maximus understands that Death Merchant can be a tough game to get into. Here are HIS personal tips for beginners to help keep you from being a motorcyle gang sex slave.
FIRST THINGS FIRST:
You'll want to visit the doctor early as you start with only 50 health. Since you start the game in the same city as the doctor, you may want to start some fights to earn a little extra cash and heal up right away. The doctor's prices are random - you may want to try multiple times to visit to try and get him to reduce his price.
EVERYBODY WAS KUNG FU FIGHTING:
Fighting is a great way to make some quick cash if the prices are right on the current day, that's the time to take some risks. You may get into a fight when travelling, and you can initiate a fight whenever you want.
TAKE IT EASY:
You can camp out in Bedford to fight and easily regain stamina, but remember that resting costs you a day. Fighting also reduces health and the Doctor is in a different city, but stamina drops much faster than health.
I DONT TRUST BANKS:
Don't forget to transfer your money from the bank to your pocket before the game ends! It's a good idea to travel to Lost Angeles on your last day for that reason. You'll get a higher ranking (Actually, You must pay off your debt to get a good ranking). Leaving some money in the bank during the game is a good idea as you'll gain interest.
BARGAIN HUNTER:
Always try and keep at least $9500 in cash on you before you travel, as you never know when the Death Merchant will appear and give you the opportunity to buy a larger backpack. Getting it early on can really increase your score. The merchant will also sell you rope and canteens at reasonable prices.
PICK A FIGHT AFTER SCHOOL:
Start a few fights before you travel if you have enough stamina and health.
DUNNING KRUGER EFFECT:
I'd leave additional training until I have a large reserve of cash, as you have to balance the cost with the reward. You'll have to fight more to recoup that money, but training can increase your chances.
SHOW ME THE MONEY:
Buy and Sell often! You won't make much money if you don't! For smaller items you might get lucky but can absorb those losses, larger items might be worth hanging on to for more than one day to get the right price. You'll get a feel for prices once you've put some time into the game. (Note that prices will always be in a certain range for most items. Tracking the cost of goods and the prices you paid can help maximize your score).
SHOP-A-HOLIC WARNING:
Don't forget that inventory is limited! The marketplace has limits on all items, and the merchant may run out of inventory on some items. Choose your purchases wisely!
WISE MAN SAYS- KNOW THYSELF:
Stamina: You lose stamina when you travel and when you fight, it is restored by resting.
Health: You lose health when you take damage in fights, it can be restored by the doctor.
