Starting with just 20 coins in Medieval Dynasty can feel daunting. But with a smart strategy, you can quickly multiply your wealth. This guide outlines a simple “2 For The Money” approach: leveraging family trade, specifically fishing, to generate significant early game profits.
Family Trade: Fishing for Profit
Choosing a family with a fishing trade near a river provides an immediate income source. Buy raw fish from your family member, utilizing their discounted price. Then, cook the fish at a public oven (not your family’s) and sell the cooked fish to an inn or another non-family vendor. The price difference between the raw and cooked fish, even after factoring in potential oven fees, often yields a tidy profit. This simple buy-low, sell-high strategy is the foundation of your “2 for the money” plan.
Maximizing Profits: Bulk Buying and Selling
Repeatedly buy, cook, and sell fish until your family member’s stock is depleted or the buyer runs out of money. With each successful transaction, reinvest your profits to purchase larger quantities of fish. This allows you to scale your income rapidly and effectively snowball your initial 20 coins into a much larger sum. Remember, prices can fluctuate when leaving and re-entering a town, so capitalize on favorable market conditions.
Minimizing Losses: The 2 Coin Pitfall
Be mindful of transaction rounding. Buying prices round up to the nearest whole coin, while selling prices round down. This creates a potential 2 coin loss per buy/sell cycle. With your starting 20 coins, this loss can be significant. Aim to buy and sell in quantities that avoid fractional coin values to maximize your returns. For instance, selling cooked fish in stacks of five often results in a whole number transaction, minimizing rounding losses.
Strength and Carrying Capacity
Selling in bulk requires sufficient strength to carry the load. While selling in stacks of five maximizes profit per transaction, ensure your character can handle the weight. If not, adjust the stack size accordingly to balance profit with carrying capacity. As your character strengthens, gradually increase the quantity of fish you carry to optimize your income.
