1.6 Update only 3 item purchase CC run!

[geodesick]

Hello!

I've done a couple of no buy runs but never managed to complete the community centre without buying a few things impossible to get otherwise. This got me thinking about what the bare minimum number of things you need to buy to finish the CC.

so I've figured out that you only need to actually buy 3 things from the travelling cart because everything else you can (eventually) get naturally, from drops/gifts etc.

(a/n no idea if this is common knowledge or anything, haven't seen any runs like this so far)

this means no need to buy seeds, buildings, no upgrades* if you don't want! for this particular run you do need to either use the chair skip exploit or upgrade your axe, but without these the total only goes up to 4 items with a slightly alternative route.

the only money would be for the actual Vault Room (and bus tickets) which are a) unavoidable b) not really purchases imo

if anyone wants to see the full run through of how to get each item/full run guide lmk, or otherwise I can let y'all guess which three items are impossible to get without spending money hehe...

Technically you could even get to the desert without buying the bus ticket, if you die in the quarry mine during the desert festival you get teleported over there.

With desert open you should be able to go even lower too, I think you don't really need to purchase anything if you allow yourself to get to the desert (only things otherwise are a couple annoying seed packets, which can be gotten from treasure rooms)

The vault isn't a purchase tbh.

Excited to see how this turns out if you end up doing it!

Depends on how they're defining it, if purchase just means any use of money then it totally does.

And if the vault isn't a purchase, it's hard to set a line about what is, it's spending money to get something in return, pretty typical for what you'd expect a 'purchase' to be.
