You can press control c on the weapon that you've made and next time you go to craft one hit control v and it will copy it for you so you don't have to keep messing with sliders and picking parts
The little hourglass next (to the dice underneath the parts) does the same thing. Though it can be a bit confusing unless you Name you favorite crafted weapon something. But it saves 10 previously crafted weapons with all your settings on them!
Extra for the Ctrl+C Ctrl+V option: you can open your favorite text editor (like Notepad, Notepad++, VS Code) and paste (Ctrl + V) into it and save as a text file. At a later date, you can open the file, copy (Ctrl + C) the contents of the file, and paste (Ctrl + V) inside the smithing menu. With any save. But you need to have the parts unlocked to actually craft, like it is normally the case. For anyone unaware: Selecting everything is in most (if not all) text editors is Ctrl + A. Makes it easier to select everything, without missing a necessary symbol.
If you want to get legendary and unlock all parts fast, have 1 character as curious smelter and practical smelter, he will be the only one to smelt and everyone else smiths, you can unlock all parts and get legendary in about 30 minutes
@@Joe_Friday depends, normally its who you want to be the legendary smith since smelting gets you there about three times faster, but I like it for my character since it gets me a lot more character exp than smithing items
If you start as a battanian, I highly recommend buying all the hogs available in the closest town and butchering them. Selling the meat and extras gets you an amazing starting capital. Keep up the content, Domtastic! Loving it!
This video has been so helpful. Just got Bannerlord a couple days ago after sinking 600 hours in Warband in the past month. This has been so incredibly helpful since most other guides are outdated. Keep up the great work! (Also that workshop guide would be greatly appreciated!!)
nice tip here, if you don't wanna sit in the city at the beginning, get you a few recruits and a companion and kill looters and sell/smelt their gears. they drop pitchforks and wooden hammers pretty consistently, so wood is always free. low tier iron just flows, plus you sell all those rags for decent bank too, at least enough to support low lvl smithing,
I don't think, at least In my personal experience, that switching handles between one-handed and two-handed changes the price, because the sword it both one and two handed, depends what way you character uses it, but I did found out that ones that can switch between modes well for way higher
Nice, finally mate! An updated Smithing guide! Finally someone talks about how "one+two handed" handles are now the best to smith. You forgot to talk about the smithing history button, or you haven't tried? Its the button next to the "dice" in the "forge" screen. That means that mini-maxing the stats of the sword is totally worth it, as its just done once, and when you forge it, history button records the stats, so you can leave the town and pick it up again at any stage, any town. This is also saved in the normal game save, so you wont lose it. Now, history was glitchy the last time I played, some two weeks ago, when reloading a sword from history, there was the probability that one of the stats went a tiny bit down (probably a rounding of a floating number), and the swing damage went a bit down, and so the gold you would receive. Two or three hot fixes came out since then, so maybe that its fixed now. Also you can do a copy+paste on the Forge screen, and copy the stats into a txt file, and keep it for that run with the amount of gold worth. Then no problems with losing the history, that actually has a limit of saves (maybe like the last 10?), because you can always go back to the txt file, and copy that cheaper material/greater gold model, and paste it on the forge screen. Remember the doing a extremely valuable one+two handed sword, may be worthless, if no town exists with that much gold to give you. Big hugs mate, amazing video as usual! ^^
@@aFemz if you click this time link here: 6:20 you can pause, and see the"forge" screen. So, at the centre of the screen, a bit to the right, you see 4 small square buttons with icons, the top left has the "dice" icon (to generate a random sword) an to its right is the "sand clock" icon inside a circle, that is the button to open your history of the last forged swords. The other buttons below, are undo and redo. Hugs
Great work, loved this. Not sure if anyone else mentioned it but when you're on the main menu of the town screen you can just hove your cursor over the notables and see which ones own what shops and just talk to them directly and buy from them rather than having to go into the town and walk to the shops themselves.
I've been playing for a little while now, and I'm blown away by how much you can make via smithing. I completely ignored the skill when making my character and just kind of dabbled on the side in the main campaign, smelting down weapons gotten from beating up looters and such, so had a lot of materials on hand. Just as an experiment I tried making a 2-handed sword that I randomized. It was way out of my skill's rating and when smelting it lost a bunch of points on the stats, so I figured it would be trash. Sold it away for over 6k with a Smithing of 39! Also, I didn't realize you could use a companion's smithing stamina. So yes, this one video completely changed the way I will be playing from now on. Thanks very much, subscribed!
Just buy all the Wood you can pretty much afford for the 3 denars in Seonon. Then refine it all. Sell the charcoal in the same town or nearby towns for a profit and continue this indtil you’re level 75 in smithing. Then start crafting after that.
@Domtastic Gaming - It used to be that the buttons "one-handed" and "Two handed" were simply to see the difference in stats between both modes. Are you certain clicking the one handed causes you to make a meaningfully less lucrative product? EDIT: Went ahead and got the itch, started a new game and indeed those buttons hold no meaningful sway over the resulting two hander.
Personally i prefer to get to lvl 50 on just charcoal refining, then start smelting pugios/tribesman knives due to high tier resources for low price, and forging swords only with t3/t2 parts at least. Full t2 sword is not enough for me, really small amounts of xp gained for stamina spent. Oh and do you mind including some high value recipes? Like 25k+? I only right now know t4/t5 20k sword with fine steel + steel and 9-10k falchion with iron/wrought iron
experiencing this too- sword combinations that used to hit 50K sales are now barely over 20 something K. :( I have found it more profitable to switch to mass producing Menavlion weapons, only costs one steel, one wood and one charcoal to make 9K. also found that making swinging polearms piece sizes smaller is actually beneficial to both damage and speed.
Thanks after playing this game since part one so like 10 years I just realize you can switch heroes in smithy ... thanks to your video ...great. Thanks for that. It would be so much easier. And I was using just my main hero for all that time, dammit !
Your videos show me just how much tutorial M&B2 lacks. Of course there are tricks that one will always have to find out, but there are also the basics like the fact one can have companions work in the smithy too, which apparently one has to find out on his/her own if they don't watch third party guides.
this was very good video in my current play though i am a mid game trader with FP to use i always had a smith companion he was go with 2HW but now me and him are teaming up to make lots of money thanks to your video thank you i made 100k in 30 mins it take me 2-3 hours trading
I've been smashing out 2h swords but they are still worth about 700d yet 2hand polearm with little work is already 3k. May go down that path as it seems to be working differently for my character. Great video though.
Nice guide, however it needs to be added that the best use of smithing is the free attribute point perks at 150 and 225. I think spending more than 4 focus points on smithing is a waste as the perks past 225 are not worth it. Assuming 4fp, if you start smithing before you have 6 endurance you cannot reach 225 smithing for the Enduring smith perk(+1end). If you want to min max, spend free attribute points until 5 endurance then level athletics to 175 for another +1 endurance from the 175 perk, and only then start smithing and you can hit the 225 perk for another +1 end, finishing with 7 endurance having only spent free attribute points on it up until 5 :) . Also along the way you can get another 2 attribute points onto either control or vigor which will really help boost your character alot. Be very careful what you spend free attribute points on. You don't get many during a playthrough so its important (imo critical) what you choose to use them on. Athletics and Smithing are basically the core to any decently optimised character.
i am getting almost 3000 denars depending on the quality of my sword.but this takes a alot of time i currently have 2.4k just by smithing after i am able to unlock javelin parts then i will stop
I always worry about crafting after I get married, so by then I have 1 wife and 4 or 5 companions so there are 5 or 6 crafting and me smelting as curios smelter and give a couple companions as curious smith and it goes by fast
As far as i know it doesn't matter if you select one or two handed during crafting. Both "modes" are available in battle no matter what do you select white crafting, you change them with "x" in case of swords and with equipping shields in case of polearms. Furthermore, you can check item's stats in both modes in your inventory by selecting either one or two handed
hey at about 9:40 ish in the video you mention the handles having one and 2 handed. I'm pretty sure that just means you can use it as either. same button you use to poke people with the javelin instead of throwing it. great video so far btw very informative it's good.
So something I do for early game since I prefer a more engaging gameplay is I will hunt down specifically sea raiders since they seem to drop the best loot of out of the early criminal parties that gives you armor to sell qnd lots of free materials
@@DomsRoundtable hey if you run out of ideas could you make an in depth guide for building a clan like from the bottom up. Like how to get cities to not revolt and building up your personal clan threw like kids and npcs.
few practical questions: How do you know that you actually crafted a "legendary" or "fine" or what every rank weapon? will the name become "legendary crafted [weapon]" or do you need to actually look into its stats? last question: when flooding the market with your crafted weapons, will they somehow dissapear over time or will you see each town eventually have 100's if not 1000's of crafted weapons?
hardwood locations: montos, popsia, lake battania surrounds and if you look in the video this guy comes across a place with over a thousand hardwood at some time near the start of the process
Hey, When you craft that 2hsword with the 1h/2h grip you're not crafting it as a 1h i don't think, you're just showing the stats it'll have when used as a 1h/shield or without a shield. Those weapons can be used either way. If i'm wrong i must have a bug on my game lol, i've been crafting 1h/2h the whole time, and it always makes the same sword.
@@DomsRoundtable It does not. When selecting a grip at smithing that can be used 1H or 2H, selecting that only shows the STAT distinction between the two for that weapon. The price is set once smithed based on quality of stats at creation, choosing 2H instead of 1H will not change that or the price when selling.
this is correct, the 1h and 2h buttons exist only to inform the player of the difference in statistics when the weapon is used a certain way, eg: using the sword you are about to forge with one hand comparatively lowers the damage and handling.
I put at least 3 points into smithing during the character development section, as i can immediately get efficient charcoal. Saves money, resources early game
dang i wish i knew this guide before i started my current campaign i'll probably wait for the workshop guide and then start getting back up there with smithing..
Any Tips for completing "Orders"? I just hit the random button until its all green, or if a hard order, until close to all green and then fiddle until all green. But it can take some time.
can you still make and sell javelins for 100k+ a pop? It broke my game because I was filthy rich and couldn't stop myself from just making a couple to use for bribes or sell of a rainy day. All my companions had top range weapons and armour and horses.
I never made one but i recieved a harpoon from a vlandian war party wich sold for 700k xD idk wtf happened maybe they sprinkled some gold dust on it . So you could try that.
Sturgia is what I picked for my first playthrough because I hadn't ever played this game or the previous ones before and the cultural perks sounded good at the time :D
i assumed that the 1 and 2 handed options just showed stats if you used it one or 2 handed while playing because it includes couched and that other option i forgot
Thank you SO much for this guide, gives you so much detail on how to start smithing! Can I just ask how you got the tier 5 Turqoise pommel? Can’t find it anywhere 😅
Well, I don't know if I've done goofed or anything. Pugios sell for 10k so buying one is a big no-no, and the swords I make sell for like... 140 denars. Plus, making sword doesn't raise my skill.
well.. if this is not the sign of Butterlord idk what is. im currently ''stuck'' in Seonon. a Vlandian army of 1k men are sieging Marunath and a army of Sturgians is heading towards Seonon D: im stting at around 40-50k because of buying and upgrading troops. i went from 600k to 50k in less than 2 weeks xD hope this is gonna help me out :D
Whenever i discover new parts its almost always sword parts, is that because i'm mostly crafting swords? I've also noticed that my rate of learning new parts deminishes when i craft below my skill level.
Hey man good video! I have a huge problem with the tribune payments for peace in my playthrough and it feels like i cannot play anymore because everyone just went to war with me to make peace quickly after so now i need to pay everyone in total over 10 k a day:( Can you help me or get me a tip? Spent a lot of time in it
@Domtastic Gaming Still waiting for the updated workshop guide. Noob question: My character is ready to take an imperial settlement, where should I start? For example at Poros, the local aristocract "Garios" travels with a party of no less than 600 men. Just need some advice on starting a kingdom/fiefdom. Thank you.
@@kaden697 2 parts: for the blade use "Long Glaive Head" which is a V tier part. For the shaft use "Extra long Mahogany". Its the IV shaft. The V shaft deals less swing damage so even tho its a higher teir, it is valued less.
Is the tier 4 pointed falshion blade still completely overpowered? Its a tier 4 blade with very high swing cut damage that requires only iron. I haven't made any post price-nerf, but its probably still the best money source in the game. Pre-nerf in the late game when you have 8-10 followers/clan-members, you could generate 1.5m gold per in-game day. Now its probably *only* 300k or so. The most time consuming thing was touring the world emptying cities' bank accounts. tbh the price nerf was a good thing XD
Yes, it is very good because it is so cheap, especially if you make the other parts of the weapon contribute to swing damage. Recommend using Fian's Pomel (LV) if you have it unlocked because it makes swing cut damage insane.
You can give all swords to a brother or sister in a different party. As long as they visit a town and then continue being a party (not taken prisoner or disbanded) you will get all the $$$ without crashing a town economy or having to visit towns yourself.
Oh crap, did not know that u can switch between 1-h and 2-h when crafting 2-h weapons. No wonder why the swords i was crafting was depreciating in value even though my character smithing was over 250 Edit: Actually, not did not change. Doesnt make sense. I was able to craft 2-h swords worth 20k+ when my smithing was in the 100s, now i can barely make a 17k 2-h sword with smithing over 200.
9:09 This isn't true, you're not actually switching the type of grip that is going to be forged, you're crafting a sword that can be used both as one handed and as two handed, the buttons only serve to preview the stats you'll have in each of the weapon modes.
It is true and I've demo'd it in my previous smithing guide - if you were to switch the grip to 1H it would be a much quicker but weaker sword, and would sell for significantly less
I haven't played the game yet so pardon my ignorance, but are there workshops which would synergise better than others in combination with a smithing focused character?
Seems that there is some kind of bug with current game version. With 25 skill in Smithing I was able to repeatedly create a two handed sword that sold for 11k :D
So in the previous version you could spam javelin which were valued CRAZY high. They seem to have fixed that, but is there a new best ban for your buck item to craft?
@@casperduus3853 I spend more than half my time just refining materials to be able to craft the 2 handed sword for $8500. Crazy how you could forge a javelin worth $150k in no time before lol.
hey i`ve been working on my smethy skills and i ulocked tier V blade therefore it requires the last steel material but you didnt mention how to acquire that steel beneficently
Can one only discover parts which are present on the weapons which are smelted? Or is there just a random chance to smelt "any" part when any weapon is smelted?
Bro how do i get myself to the very last perk of smithing?? The Green Area does not reach there. I already spent Five points on smithing and i cant reach the last perks. Any help? Thanks
What is most cost and resource/stamina efficient weapon? I found two handed mace with 2nd grade mallet minimum size and 5th grade shaft max size 7500 and wood and few metal parts
i'm trying it at 1.7.0 and for some reason my weapons are only selling for 19 each one instead of 600 like in the video. btw, as long as i know, i don't have any economy mod
Could u help me answer a question please? I cant find info on if my perks apply to my whole army if i dont put myself as a commander of any squad. And if i do put myself as a squad commander are my perks only used on that squad?
you can hover over the perk "badges" in the character menu to see if they're active. If you mean your captain perks having an effect on battles, then they will only take affect if you are the leader of a certain troop type. If you assign companions/lords as captains of your troop types (in the screen when beginning a battle) then their captain effects (which can be viewed by pressing alt when hovering over them) will be used instead of yours. with high level companions, it is often better to use them as the troop leaders because you can focus their perks into only captain perks.
Thank you so much for the feedback and corrections on this video you absolute legends!! ❤❤ I've been informed by a few of you amazing people that I'm COMPLETLEY WRONG in the segment of the video where I was talking about switching the 1H/2H GRIP This used to make 2 separate weapons, with the 2H version being far more profitable, and you can see the results of my previous testing proving this here: th-cam.com/video/vP3r8m3Z63w/w-d-xo.html HOWEVER!! Some of you wonderful people have let me know that now, it makes the SAME WEAPON, and that switching the GRIP between 1H & 2H just shows you a preview of the stats for that weapon when wielded in each of the 2 modes, however it will not change the final product, and will be worth the SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY either way! Thank you all for your help, and apologies for this misinformation! 💖💖
how on earth is the first two handed sword you craft got such high damage? mine with maxed size hits 10 swing/thrust damage and sells for like 180 denars.
how was this 18 mins long? seemed like maybe 5 mins went by.......... i learned a lot too. 400ish hours in the game i barely ever crafted. so i can just keep getting parts from the daggers apparently. i figured u had to smelt all dif kinds of weapons. but i guess not?

hey at about 9:40 ish in the video you mention the handles having one and 2 handed. I'm pretty sure that just means you can use it as either. same button you use to poke people with the javelin instead of throwing it. great video so far btw very informative it's good.
Thanks Domtastic!
Please continue to upload!! Just bought bannerlord and your guides are great!
Around 400 hours in bannerlord. Just learnt my companions can Smith with me 😭😭😭 saved so much time on my pugio tours 😂😂😂
Thanks for the guide :)
So something I do for early game since I prefer a more engaging gameplay is I will hunt down specifically sea raiders since they seem to drop the best loot of out of the early criminal parties that gives you armor to sell qnd lots of free materials
Great idea, definitely a more engaging way to do it than just sitting in towns for weeks on end 😂
@@DomsRoundtable hey if you run out of ideas could you make an in depth guide for building a clan like from the bottom up. Like how to get cities to not revolt and building up your personal clan threw like kids and npcs.
few practical questions: How do you know that you actually crafted a "legendary" or "fine" or what every rank weapon? will the name become "legendary crafted [weapon]" or do you need to actually look into its stats? last question: when flooding the market with your crafted weapons, will they somehow dissapear over time or will you see each town eventually have 100's if not 1000's of crafted weapons?
hardwood locations: montos, popsia, lake battania surrounds and if you look in the video this guy comes across a place with over a thousand hardwood at some time near the start of the process
Thank you so much for this guide! Keep up the great work and have a wonderful day!
Hey, When you craft that 2hsword with the 1h/2h grip you're not crafting it as a 1h i don't think, you're just showing the stats it'll have when used as a 1h/shield or without a shield. Those weapons can be used either way. If i'm wrong i must have a bug on my game lol, i've been crafting 1h/2h the whole time, and it always makes the same sword.
It does make a sword that can be wielded either way, but specifically selecting 2H grip will yield a heavier/slower sword that sells for more money 😊
@@DomsRoundtable It does not. When selecting a grip at smithing that can be used 1H or 2H, selecting that only shows the STAT distinction between the two for that weapon. The price is set once smithed based on quality of stats at creation, choosing 2H instead of 1H will not change that or the price when selling.
@@Grimulfr oh really?! Damn they must have changed that since I last tested in the previous guide 😭😭 Well RIP, thank you for letting me know dude 🙏
this is correct, the 1h and 2h buttons exist only to inform the player of the difference in statistics when the weapon is used a certain way, eg: using the sword you are about to forge with one hand comparatively lowers the damage and handling.
Thank you for your videos.
look at us all, just nerding out vibing. love it.
Excellent video thank you for visual guides 👍🏽
Thank you for your awesome videos. And if I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight :)
smiting 46 and already making sword that worth over 7 k , going to be a billionaire in no time :)
What sword is it 2hander or single hand ✋ 🤔
I just realized i can use my companions blacksmith 6 hours into the save xD _ xD
I put at least 3 points into smithing during the character development section, as i can immediately get efficient charcoal. Saves money, resources early game
dang i wish i knew this guide before i started my current campaign i'll probably wait for the workshop guide and then start getting back up there with smithing..
Amazing video very well broke down and easy to follow thank you
Any Tips for completing "Orders"? I just hit the random button until its all green, or if a hard order, until close to all green and then fiddle until all green. But it can take some time.
Amazing guide my guy, subscribed.
can you still make and sell javelins for 100k+ a pop?
It broke my game because I was filthy rich and couldn't stop myself from just making a couple to use for bribes or sell of a rainy day. All my companions had top range weapons and armour and horses.
patched ;(
I never made one but i recieved a harpoon from a vlandian war party wich sold for 700k xD idk wtf happened maybe they sprinkled some gold dust on it . So you could try that.
@@ShacolateClown You could buy a fief for that amount
Every culture has its strengths. Except for Sturgia, that one is just shit.
Hahahaha too true unfortunately!
Sturgia is what I picked for my first playthrough because I hadn't ever played this game or the previous ones before and the cultural perks sounded good at the time :D
I always play Sturgia. Love them for some reason. Wish they played more to their mobility bonus by giving them the ability to move on rivers
in testing i have seen, Aserai culture bonuses are entirely broken, making it the absolute worst. agree that Sturgia is still extremely weak though.
2nd sturgia playthrough for me and have no problems with sturgia though. The hardest for me was Western Empire since they are at war 24/7
Very helpful!
i assumed that the 1 and 2 handed options just showed stats if you used it one or 2 handed while playing because it includes couched and that other option i forgot
Thank you SO much for this guide, gives you so much detail on how to start smithing! Can I just ask how you got the tier 5 Turqoise pommel? Can’t find it anywhere 😅
Part unlocking is random. You just gotta unlock more recipes. The more a weapon sells for, the more XP it gives, so it unlocks recipes faster.
@@CAnDA7D2 I see! Thank you so much 😊
Well, I don't know if I've done goofed or anything. Pugios sell for 10k so buying one is a big no-no, and the swords I make sell for like... 140 denars. Plus, making sword doesn't raise my skill.
well.. if this is not the sign of Butterlord idk what is. im currently ''stuck'' in Seonon. a Vlandian army of 1k men are sieging Marunath and a army of Sturgians is heading towards Seonon D: im stting at around 40-50k because of buying and upgrading troops. i went from 600k to 50k in less than 2 weeks xD hope this is gonna help me out :D
3:00 LMAO you just basically created Martins Licis
Whenever i discover new parts its almost always sword parts, is that because i'm mostly crafting swords? I've also noticed that my rate of learning new parts deminishes when i craft below my skill level.
you increase charcoal by 3x or 300% or you add on an extra 200%
you used 2 to get 1 then you used 2 to get 3... you get 3x more
why is maths so fkn hard?
Any idea when that workshop guide is gonna come out?
Not sure if you learned this yet, but you can also sell your civilian gear
Hey man good video!
I have a huge problem with the tribune payments for peace in my playthrough and it feels like i cannot play anymore because everyone just went to war with me to make peace quickly after so now i need to pay everyone in total over 10 k a day:(
Can you help me or get me a tip?
Spent a lot of time in it
Learned a lot! Thank you for the break down :)
love this thank you
@Domtastic Gaming Still waiting for the updated workshop guide. Noob question: My character is ready to take an imperial settlement, where should I start? For example at Poros, the local aristocract "Garios" travels with a party of no less than 600 men. Just need some advice on starting a kingdom/fiefdom. Thank you.
Late game whats the best weapons to make? My max level twobhanded swords only sell for about 20k.seems a bit low
i think taleworlds fixed the exploit, price of my best sword is 30k right now
I hate this - I can only currently get like 24k max with a mostly tier 4 and 5 level parts 2h sword
I found a pike build that sells for 20k that only uses wood and 2 Fine steel. I can mass print these easily and give to wife to sell
@@juicebox6581 would you mind sharing what parts? That’s awesome!
@@kaden697 2 parts: for the blade use "Long Glaive Head" which is a V tier part. For the shaft use "Extra long Mahogany". Its the IV shaft. The V shaft deals less swing damage so even tho its a higher teir, it is valued less.
we miss you
Is the tier 4 pointed falshion blade still completely overpowered? Its a tier 4 blade with very high swing cut damage that requires only iron. I haven't made any post price-nerf, but its probably still the best money source in the game. Pre-nerf in the late game when you have 8-10 followers/clan-members, you could generate 1.5m gold per in-game day. Now its probably *only* 300k or so. The most time consuming thing was touring the world emptying cities' bank accounts. tbh the price nerf was a good thing XD
Yes, it is very good because it is so cheap, especially if you make the other parts of the weapon contribute to swing damage. Recommend using Fian's Pomel (LV) if you have it unlocked because it makes swing cut damage insane.
You can give all swords to a brother or sister in a different party. As long as they visit a town and then continue being a party (not taken prisoner or disbanded) you will get all the $$$ without crashing a town economy or having to visit towns yourself.
@@kaden697 If that's true thats a really cool trick, I'm going to test it out.
Oh crap, did not know that u can switch between 1-h and 2-h when crafting 2-h weapons. No wonder why the swords i was crafting was depreciating in value even though my character smithing was over 250
Edit:
Actually, not did not change. Doesnt make sense. I was able to craft 2-h swords worth 20k+ when my smithing was in the 100s, now i can barely make a 17k 2-h sword with smithing over 200.
9:09 This isn't true, you're not actually switching the type of grip that is going to be forged, you're crafting a sword that can be used both as one handed and as two handed, the buttons only serve to preview the stats you'll have in each of the weapon modes.
It is true and I've demo'd it in my previous smithing guide - if you were to switch the grip to 1H it would be a much quicker but weaker sword, and would sell for significantly less
I haven't played the game yet so pardon my ignorance, but are there workshops which would synergise better than others in combination with a smithing focused character?
didn't they made it harder to gain 2 handed weapons in general ,to prevent you from doing this what you are doing right now ?
Good job
Seems that there is some kind of bug with current game version. With 25 skill in Smithing I was able to repeatedly create a two handed sword that sold for 11k :D
So in the previous version you could spam javelin which were valued CRAZY high. They seem to have fixed that, but is there a new best ban for your buck item to craft?
In my experience two handed swords are best now but also require the most mats :)
@@casperduus3853 I spend more than half my time just refining materials to be able to craft the 2 handed sword for $8500. Crazy how you could forge a javelin worth $150k in no time before lol.
Hello just wondering did you use any mods for this smithing video
What happened to the refreshed workshop guide you wanted to release „in a few days“? It’s 3 months already :(
@@dryaya9199 cringe
hey i`ve been working on my smethy skills and i ulocked tier V blade therefore it requires the last steel material but you didnt mention how to acquire that steel beneficently
Can one only discover parts which are present on the weapons which are smelted? Or is there just a random chance to smelt "any" part when any weapon is smelted?
Are the 2 hand only grips still better? I think i get better results with a lvl 3 2h only vs a lvl 4 1h2h
2h only grips definitely still better for sure! 😊
Just did some testing. My lvl 5 1h2h on 2h was like 10k better than the 2h only. Are there 2h only lvl5 grips? Afk makin dindin lol
@@danhatstat6890 exclusively 2h grips exist for each tier, I through V. Just gotta get lucky with the part unlocks :)
Did they get the remove the ageing at the start etc - or is that a mod? Cause that would be so helpful!
I am interested in this too!! Did you find any answers??
Bro how do i get myself to the very last perk of smithing?? The Green Area does not reach there. I already spent Five points on smithing and i cant reach the last perks. Any help? Thanks
What is most cost and resource/stamina efficient weapon? I found two handed mace with 2nd grade mallet minimum size and 5th grade shaft max size 7500 and wood and few metal parts
i'm trying it at 1.7.0 and for some reason my weapons are only selling for 19 each one instead of 600 like in the video.
btw, as long as i know, i don't have any economy mod
Weapons marked one and two handed mean that they can be switched to either handed by pressing X
Why does wool shops make so much in Poros? They only have one village with sheeps? 🐑
idk why he sounds a bit like a gaming youtuber called “feedback gaming”
Is there a way to lock your companion's skills? I don't want then getting too high in smithy
*One day some naked dude walks into town and starts flooding the local markets with expertly crafted weapons*
Could u help me answer a question please? I cant find info on if my perks apply to my whole army if i dont put myself as a commander of any squad. And if i do put myself as a squad commander are my perks only used on that squad?
you can hover over the perk "badges" in the character menu to see if they're active. If you mean your captain perks having an effect on battles, then they will only take affect if you are the leader of a certain troop type. If you assign companions/lords as captains of your troop types (in the screen when beginning a battle) then their captain effects (which can be viewed by pressing alt when hovering over them) will be used instead of yours. with high level companions, it is often better to use them as the troop leaders because you can focus their perks into only captain perks.
Thank you so much for the feedback and corrections on this video you absolute legends!! ❤❤
I've been informed by a few of you amazing people that I'm COMPLETLEY WRONG in the segment of the video where I was talking about switching the 1H/2H GRIP
This used to make 2 separate weapons, with the 2H version being far more profitable, and you can see the results of my previous testing proving this here: th-cam.com/video/vP3r8m3Z63w/w-d-xo.html
HOWEVER!! Some of you wonderful people have let me know that now, it makes the SAME WEAPON, and that switching the GRIP between 1H & 2H just shows you a preview of the stats for that weapon when wielded in each of the 2 modes, however it will not change the final product, and will be worth the SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY either way!
Thank you all for your help, and apologies for this misinformation! 💖💖
how on earth is the first two handed sword you craft got such high damage? mine with maxed size hits 10 swing/thrust damage and sells for like 180 denars.
So nothing like the javelin eh? Was looking for some easy moneh
hell yeah let's break the game economy by crafting :D
That's the plan 😂❤️
Ty
how was this 18 mins long? seemed like maybe 5 mins went by.......... i learned a lot too. 400ish hours in the game i barely ever crafted. so i can just keep getting parts from the daggers apparently. i figured u had to smelt all dif kinds of weapons. but i guess not?
Is this still in the game? I'm just starting and I would love to try this but Is it still this good?
does the legendary glith save still works?
Thanks
