Route rules

Three rules that cannot move to make the answer convenient

  1. 01Cost becomes value only inside the relevant window.
  2. 02Remaining cost starts from current gold.
  3. 03The post-purchase buffer does not belong to the item.
Current contextPatch 7.41e

The primary source defines the game version. Every amount, horizon and risk in the route remains a testable player input.
