More about this game
Your goal is to maximize your profit within a strict 30-day limit. Start with 100 gold and buy goods like spice, silk, salt, and gems where they are cheap. Travel across the desert map to sell them in towns where prices are high. Prices fluctuate dynamically, and traveling consumes precious days. Along the way, random events like bandit ambushes or sandstorms can disrupt your plans. The run ends after 30 days, and your final gold total becomes your best fortune.
Tips
- Pay attention to the CHEAP and DEAR tags in the market to quickly spot the best buying and selling opportunities before prices drift.
- Upgrading your camel costs 250 gold for the first tier and 700 gold for the second, increasing your cargo capacity from 20 to 35 and then 50.
- Bandits can ambush you if you carry more than 40 gold, stealing between 10% and 22% of your stash. Invest in goods or upgrades to keep raw gold low.
FAQ
- What happens if I rest?
- Tapping the rest button skips one day, which causes market prices to drift and change. This is useful if current prices are unfavorable and you want them to shift without traveling.
- How do I get more cargo space?
- You can increase your cargo limit by buying the +Camel upgrade in the market. The first upgrade costs 250 gold and raises capacity to 35, while the second costs 700 gold for 50 capacity.
- What are the random events?
- When arriving at a town, you have a 38% chance to encounter an event. These include bandits stealing gold, sandstorms costing an extra day, lucky finds granting free goods, or market news drastically shifting prices.
