I'm sure I'm not the only one who, when wanting to fiddle with practice mode, gets annoyed with starting with like 3k gold... I mathed it one day and figured this out, I dunno if you guys have ever done the same...
If you buy the following items and drop them, then you have the correct starting gold...
- 4 minor totems
- 1 post haste recipe
You now have 603 gold.
Or, if you want to pretend a teammate bought a courier you can do this
- 4 minor totems
- 2 barrier idle recipes
You now have 803 gold, buy a courier and activate it, and now you have 603...
It's great for practicing jungling...
