The price for the ship can go up or down, depending on your
dialog
choices.
The ship is always worth 10000 pieces of eight, we just need to get it under 7000 to have a
deal.
If you:
Refuse an extra = – 450 (6 times).
The first extra does not substract 450 so there are 6 extras left we dont need, so we
can
substract 2700 pieces of eight in total.
Go away:
You can walk away from Stan to lower the price:
1st time = – 1000
2nd time = – 500
3rd time = – 100
4th time = conversation ends
Make an offer
So if you go up an raise our offer this will substract 500
but if we go down this will add half the amount between the last two offers:
I.E. Offer 5000 then offer 2000 = + 1500
Offer 4000 then offer 2000 = + 1000
Offer 3000 then offer 2000 = + 500
So this is in my opinion the fastest way to get the Sea Monkey:
The first offer you make always substract nothing from the original price, but we have
to
start somewhere so lets go with 2000.
Now we can offer him 3000 (price = 9500), then 4000 (price = 9000), then 5000 (price =
8500), then we leave two times (price = 7000), then we offer 5000 again an voila its yours.
(Maybe refusing some extras would also work, but I cant skip dialog in the floppy version I
was testing this with, so someone else can check if there is a faster way on PC)
You can start the video below to see this strat in action
Here you can burn several items and also throw a lot of these
items
in to the cooking pot – but it dont think there is a real “fastest” method:
Getting flaming mass:
Dusty old book
Feather pen
Business Card
1000% Cotton T-Shirt
T-Shirt
Map
Yeah you can sorta drop some items by just burning them all, but most of them are gone after
you get to Part 3…so burn whatever you want to.
You can also throw all of these items into the cooking-pot except of the Map (so no Deadend
possible, you can always get the flamming mass)
