ONE TRAINER. ONE SHOPPING LIST.

What do you still need?

Enter what you already have and compare it with one reported training bill. No account connection, drop-rate assumptions or spending recommendations.

The initial example uses Sound and an empty inventory. JavaScript enables calculations; the full bill table below remains readable without it.

Some listed requirements remain. Training, movement access and the live trainer offer still apply. An unlisted charge is not a verified zero.

Sound price conflict remains unresolved

The article table/FAQ says 4,000 Wen, 10 Horns and 3 Cores; one paragraph says 13,000 Wen and 150 Horns. This calculation uses the repeated table values only. Confirm Tengai’s actual offer before farming or paying.

Sound’s table/FAQ bill conflicts with a paragraph in the same source; read the full warning above. Stone requires Axe and Mace before training. Use each linked guide’s source date and confirm the live offer; these reports do not establish when a price changed.
