Introduction

Get it now! Get it cheap! Come and get your Crusades road map before you get lost! Who knows, you might even beat Richard the Lion-Heart to Jerusalem!

“Wo! ‘Ow did E get ere?!” (Translated: Whoa! How did I get here?!) You might be asking me this question just now as you find yourself in the middle of the famous Constantinople bazaar (marketplace). Well don’t ask me. YOU volunteered for this funny march.

But now that you find yourself broke, surrounded by crazy peasants, knights and nobles, and only halfway to Jerusalem, you only have one chance of completing your journey and getting your sins forgiven: You will have to sell some precious items in this crazy mall.

“Wat can E sell?” you ask me? Well, you might as well use the skills you learned “back ‘ome” and make something that is desired by a knight or king. Browse the list below, and consider several options (you may not get your first choice!). Then begin making plans for how to build the perfect merchandise that will sell quickly and earn you lots of gold.

Of course, before you actually MAKE the item, you had better do a wee bit ‘o research just to make sure that you do it right.
