1,250 bucks in coffee bribes (plus shipping) just to get the ring.
got 'suspicion'? - another 1,000 in coffee (or drownie pearls, which don't exactly drip from Salt's eyes).
and that just lowers your numbers by 2 sus. points?
so over two grand just to say 'hi, can i buy a lump of cheese & coal' and if i dare explore Khan-town ever again, it's another grand?
ouch-ouch-ouch.
just a couple misadventures and you're talking about boat-buying money there, not to mention all the time it takes.
and i had just 9 points of suspicion when i got the license (and fell circumstance put me one point over right after).
i didn't even visit them much; largely avoided the place just because i knew i needed to keep suspicion levels low.
they've got to rebalance on this one.

First I'd like to say, that's the point. You are wedging the Khanat, a seclusive, isolationist and foreigner-hating society, open for business with you, a representative of their fiercest competition, the Reduced Empire.
Secondly, relax, you're not missing out on much at that time. You dont need it as a supply port for exploration down south because if Trimarans are a problem to you, you'll be a snack to everything lurking down there and the trade options are only really rentable if you have 60+ hold and cash to spend on the luxury goods.
Come back when you can flens those buggers of their warships in two shots and send them home in dingys. Pay of your suspicion with pearls you can get most reliably from Lifebergs as 1 in 3 drops them and they don't count as cargo.

Well to gain the 5 points of Leopard Condescension you need I advise you to go to Khan Heart and Wander the Quarter, when you get the option of helping or ratting out the fellow who is escaping help him: helping him will give you an Outlandish Artifact or 3 points of Leopard Condescension!
As per the suspicion: never use the option to pay the Storyteller, never buy food there, and attack every Khanate ship you encounter, but let them go. Usually you'll find 2/3 of them around Gaider's Mourn, and sometimes in the water around the Khanate proper. It's one point down of suspicion less for every ships! And you also lose 2 points of terror, as a nice bonus.
At the Mourn you can also help the Khanate privateers when you find them fighting the Chelonate hunters: they'll give you an Horsehead that you can cash at Khanate to lose a point of suspicion.
I never used any pearls to lose suspicion, and I had to buy only 5 coffee to get the License (got the rest from pirates).
And, it'll be worth it in the future, as the Khanate will be used as a staging area for supplies and fuel to explore the South of the map.
Hope it helps.

If you loot the Khanate ships you do gain Suspicion, you have to let them go, but they are tough opponents so be careful. If you get them hold on to another Horsehead they give an option to flee the ships if you are not strong enough to take them on.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.
