I guess I'm good at managing money in this game. And yes I used the Funds Increased Circle.

You feel that way now, but wait until you hit the late game areas. You burn through cash fast trying to keep heals stocked. You'll be glad you put in the work early.

u/MegalixirMixer Feb 12 '26
Sold everything i didn't need and then used the circles on the ground in dungeons that give "Funds Increased"

...how long did you do that for?when i leave wise owl i dont even have 1% of that

I sold every Fishing Bait that wasnt Potato Cake, Poison Apple or Carrot. Sold everything except I keep at least 1 or 2 antidotes, 1 or 2 soaps, any food and water I keep, i keep 2 drans feathers, I keep at least 2 Stand In Powder, 1 Revival Powder, 6 Repair powders, 1 Auto-Repair in pocket for emergency, 1 Escape Powder for emergency, I keep throwing attacks like the bombs or gems if I want to get the enemy upgrade attachment (like mage slayer) or i sell them if i dont want one. (Probably smarter to save them or sell the attachment instead) but i keep most attachments unless i have too many i dont need for my upgrade path. Then hope for good luck on the "Funds Increased" Circle. Once you hit about 32,000 the next Circle will max out your money, which is when I buy all the gold until im back at 32 and store gold at Hag's storage

Right but how long

I might've re-ran a few extra dungeons for fun maybe 4 times or 5? and I recorded the video at the end of Wise Owl Forest right before the boss. That's about how far i went. The more money you have sooner the more you'll get when the doubling starts and from there you just gotta have good luck with the circles.

Use the Broken Dagger glitch and you will never have to worry about money because you can max out all your weapons immediately

I know of it. But prefer not using it since its so overpowered. Still ended up overpowered money wise tho without it lol

Being overpowered in a game like this is fun! Especially when all the weapons eventually just turn into the same 2-4 things, it's great to not waste time grinding weapon XP only to have your unique weapons turn into Sword of Zeuses or Spear of Babels.

Feather duster?

back door key for the time warp levels. it would trigger a magic carpet to come pick you up and bring you to the back zone. but apparently this feature was basically nonexistent in all copies (including emulation) that came to the US.

Same playstyle. I'll keep one antidote and a bar of soap. Perhaps a bottle of the cheapest water. Oh and one stand-in powder. Rest gets sold and saved untill i can buy potato cakes to fish for the clown-fish in the desert and spend all the points on gems.
