what

"Even if you do have the right amount of Ducats to purchase the Transportation method, you must have at least an additional 1000 Ducats to purchase it, otherwise you would be left with little-to-no money." what does that even mean. You must have at least 1k ducats to... use it?

You need Ducats to buy goods in the first place, so technically, you would require 1K Ducats to use it.

Elephant = 350,000 D

Say you have 350,000 D. You would not be allowed to buy the mount, despite having the required number, because once you buy it, you would be unable to buy trade goods.

350,000 (inv) - 350,000 (ele) = 0 ducats left to spend.

Now say you had 351,000 D. You would be allowed because afterwards you would be able to afford trade goods.

351,000 (inv) - 350,000 (ele) = 1,000 ducats left to spend to make more ducats.

350,00?

I'm aware of that, but what I mean is you don't need 1k ducats to use it (trade goods), you could have like.. 50 or something. Yes you wouldn't be able to afford a whole lot but you would be able to afford SOMETHING. My question here is do you actually need 1k ducats, and nothing less, to use it, or is it just advice as in "hey you should remember that you need ducats to buy things so don't spend everything on these transportation vehicles".

The game won't let you buy the next transport method unless you have a certain minimum leftover afterward.

I think it's the lowest cost of the item at the post you're at.

or not. idk. 8D

Realistically, if you can't afford at least what you were able to carry before, you're doing it wrong.

How do you manage to dig up these old topics? e.e

You call 6 months old? That's just a drop in the bucket.

It's not like it's in the archives; it's just sitting in plain sight.
