This Mora Jai Box can be solved in a minimum of 9 presses, not including the final step of locking in the corners. One such solution is as follows:
The box contains an Allowance Token. The box never spawns again once it has been solved, meaning that the token can only be acquired once and can be permanently missed if it is not collected when the box is solved.

This section contains spoilers for the dynamite.
By lighting the fuse of the dynamite with an ignition tool, it can be detonated to blast a permanent hole in the nearby wall which reveals a small room. The room contains an Upgrade Disk, 40
and a page written by Denny Revane to Christoph about their side venture producing and selling moonshine. It also mentions a favor Denny asks of Christoph concerning the Baron.
On subsequent days, the dynamite is removed and the hole to the secret room remains. The gold does not respawn, even if it was never taken initially.
Detonating the dynamite, or entering the secret room on subsequent days, causes Grounds for Dismissal to play.

This section contains spoilers for the endgame.
The moonshine in the vat can be collected using an empty Watering Can. This is used as part of the Coat of Arms Puzzle.
The Trading Post allows the player to trade almost any items from their inventory. When inspecting an item on the counter, a trade of similar value will be offered. Sometimes resources like keys, gems or dice will be offered instead. Harder to obtain items, particularly special keys, are not advised to be traded as they are hard to come by. Despite this, all trades are safe as all tradable items can eventually be obtained again.
Each tradeable item has a "tier" it is in. Trades can give dice equal to their tier (e.g. Tier 3 items give 3
), items in an equal tier, items in the tier below, 1
, or 2
.
Before any trades are made in a day, all trade offers are either dice or equal tier items, unless there are no equal tier items to trade for.
Aside from when trading tier 1 items, the keys and gems only appear if there are no other options (other than dice).
Trade offers reroll their trade if they traded for a special item and that item is spawned.

Beyond the Estate
This section contains datamined information. It may contain spoilers for various stages of the game.
When a trade offer is generated, the following steps occur in order to determine what the trade item will trade for:
When making a trade offer, there is a check to see if the target special item previously had a trade offer created to trade for the trade item. If it does, there is another random roll:
If the reroll occurs and fails, the item does not get a trade offer, and will not appear in the trade menu until refreshed (by reentering the menu or making a trade). The reroll does not trigger this check again.
Tier 0 offers are either 1 or 2, 50% for each.
Accepting a trade adds the trade item to the spawn pool, allowing it to appear in future rooms and shops. This can be done even if the item was not in the spawn pool originally, although this is likely only relevant for Master Key.
The Upgrade Disk is in the list of items given as Tier 5 trades (which contains no other items). It gets removed from the list the second time the Trading Post menu is opened in a day, or the first time if this Upgrade Disk has already been used, but only after all trade offers were made for that time opening the menu. This means that the Upgrade Disk can only appear in the first (two) times the menu is opened, and no future trade offers that day will offer it, even if it was not offered the first time and more items were obtained since. (Accepting the Upgrade Disk trade will automatically scrap or reroll all existing Upgrade Disk trades.)
If you've found a new clue, you know what to do.
Sometimes, trading items that you have duplicates of can cause buggy behavior; how does it work?
