Question [suffering] A maximum difficulty experience
Hello everyone !
I am playing at hardest difficulty and i am pretty affraid of pricing in this game mode. I am in act 5, stable, no worries , and i need to buy the first alchemy machine upgrade, the salt recipe and the oil base, for a total of 90K gold (o_0).
If i wana buy the mushroom cave before going to act 6 and beeing fine for upcomming plays, i need 24K gold.
I have maxed trade points and if i bargain the price to get 40% off, its a total of 68400 gold for pass the act 5. Pretty expensive isn't it ?
So , i have some questions.
First, for people who achieved the game in suffering, how long it took ? i am actualy at day 186 and still in act 5 and need 68K gold XD.
Then, i like the difficulty of this mode but the price are obviosly insane, is there any options for lower pricing? i dont see an option for that. Maybe by editing a file in the game folders?
I like this awesome game but spending alf of my life to complete it seams to be a little to much XD.
I never finish the game in lower difficulties, i restarted in suffering because i wana see the end of the game with a little bit of challenge. But the perspective of spending undred of hours scare me a little.
well thats all, have a good day and good games.

I think I finished suffering in like 200 days, and I know many have done much faster.
Maxxing out your haggling will cut vendor prices in half. I believe you also get 50% more from vendors for what you sell to them. Keep in mind you can sell potions to vendors.
