I agree 100% with Bozbooer!
Making any extra money helps.. it all adds up, and if ya keep making a few cents more, eventually it's a LOT more
Oh and the Distilled water is 18c each.. If you get your money BACK, then go ahead and use the saliva.. there are also different valued saliva, and diff colors too! some is worth single digit, and some, same color even often, is worth 37c if i recall correctly.. it varies a LOT! Sure does make things rough when buying on market to RESELL! you might end up paying 2c for a 37c saliva, OR, you may think it is a highend so pay more, and it ends up costing you 12c for a 6c saliva.
Oh, and, DO NOT let people know you are using saliva to COOK, they will never forgive you!!! Sell the saliva stuff, or give it to someone you don't like much, unless a race that does not mind, then just eat it yourself
Speaking of making a few extra coins, one thing I like to do.. check the market for low cost things that are NOT no-value, then buy and resell to merchant.. I see things in there, meats included [rodent, shark, crab(some)] that sell for 1 and 2 silver sometimes a little more, sometimes less..but when you pay 2c to 5c each, you can not go wrong, usually!! Some of the CRAB tricked me.. some is worth maybe 1 to 3c, and I paid 7c or 8c thinking it was the very expensive kind.. best to buy ONE from someone, then go sell it, and if it's good, go buy the rest from that stack:) Nice way to pick up some SMALL pocket change, and it also may be enough to let you buy ingredients to make a few more things, that sell for more!
