Autotrader mod in the workshop is sooo helpful if you want to focus more on quests and fighting.
You can customize it pretty well and it just means you don't have to spend the time in the trade screen so much
Super appreciate you. Your guides have destroyed some of my gameplay bottlenecks.
Hey I found a weird way to make money im currently a mercenary and I had my brother start a caravan he got attack by 2 sets of sea raiders We jumped up to 29 influence i don't know what he did after we just got in a war and I help a village raid but we jump to 60 i was getting paid 1500 from my contact for a day or two so I'm assuming he did something else because that village raid didn't give me that
Brah smithing 2h swords is way faster than any method you suggested
Can you, or do you have a build for the sturgians? Do a Viking. My first time playing and it's going.... it's interesting anyway lol. Not sure if I'm doing good or bad.
i thought accepting the duel from the bandit boss meant that if you won, the accompanying bandit units would surrender, aka be captured prisoners if you won it
correct
This is right. Also the guy who wants prisoners will only take criminals, not pows. Unless this is just a thing on console.
@@ars571 correct, if you make the prisoners troops you can use the recruit quest in towns to sell them off
yeah you're totally right had an absolute brain fart here. great shout and appreciate you keeping me honest brother :)
Oh really? I'll be accepting a lot more duels then
Pro tip: when smithing (aside from pugios which are cheapest) buy fine steel spatha & the sword below that which costs like 6 thousand each, both will smelt for 5 steel & 2 fine steel each then craft the pike with the glaive head & the level 4 pole (not the level 5 one) , which will sell for 22000 denars, most efficient way to make money I’ve found
I’ve currently got like 9 million denars in my game
Are u imperial?
If you're imperial, I've found that once you're able to constantly buy the pugio and the highlander dagger you have a near infinite supply of wrought iron, iron, steel, and fine steel. The two handed swords are cheese and easy ways to make 32k a sword. You can just roam the imperial factions before becoming a lord, selling your smithed weapons, buying supplies to smelt, and trading/doing quests to build reputation with lords and notables in the region.
Flesson special- go to Khuait or Aserai since horse prisoners pay more. Get bandit base quest from village and bounty hunters from town as both pay 3k. then use the T3 aserai footman to get all prisoners. Sell prisoners to any laborers quest which are located in only 4 villages...clay, iron, silver or salt. So early game just doing 1 base with both bandit base quest + loot + laborers quest can net you 10k-20k for just 1 bandit base and that can be done in the first 20 days of them game.
Pinning
yeah dude those labor needing dudes are elite
Just started playing for my first time. I won a Helmet worth 13.5k in a tournament, twice. Honestly was a huge help, went from struggling to maintain 2-3k to now having over 30k steadily.
i starded the same. now 700 days(game days) in and i have a town,a castle and 3 milion :)
Sounds like me at first I had over 40k for my first few years but now I’m struggling to stay over like 3,000 I don’t know why
@@howmanybabiesdidNestleKill if you have more than 15k buy workshops to keep the income while doing your thing, the more you make the more workshops you buy
I don't know how many game days I'm into the game, but i soiled my first playthrough. Turns out it was really helpful buying troops with the first 10k. I have a steady 30k at the moment with a clan tier 2. Pretty neat in my eyes
Yeah, I'm totally new to the series with Bannerlord, started playing 4 days ago, and I've won a horse that sells for 16k at least 5 times from tournaments. I might regret not keeping them, but it'll be a while before I have enough skill to ride the horse so I went ahead and sold them (I forget the name of it, Wadar-something, and it needed 90 horse skill and I was around 30-50 or so) and winning them as a tournament award sure didn't seem that uncommon. Because of missions and winning tournaments, I've been over 100k and feeling fine for cash, but since I'm new to the game I also feel like I'm missing a million things. Lots of mechanics to get a hang of!
Quick note in the encyclopedia at 28:05, you can use the arrows at the bottom right to scroll through all the items in that you have filtered. So in this case clicking next page will bring show you the next wife in the list without having to go back and click. It makes it very easy to scroll through wanderes and wives searching for a specific stat.
hella useful thanks for the tip fam
What is the use for the wife? I have one and I can’t talk to her and if I do I just tell her her roles in my clan
@@joshuavaldez3078 to have kids and your standing with her family will increase by a big amount. Also, you can use her for guiding caravans like the guy in the video said
Dude, you just saved me alot of nonsense, appreciate it
For wanderers with trade skill, look for names that include "The Swift" or "Spicevendor."
For bandit camps you can actually do 3 quests at the same time 1. City lord offers money to rescue someone from bounty hunter camp (bandit camp), 2. Village offers $ to clear a bandit camp, and 3. Bandit prisoners for manual laborers.
You can do 4 at once. The Bounty, Village, Prisoners, and help with brigands. Bit late response I know but hey late comer lol.
We call them “manual laborers” now 😂
Thank you so much for this video. I’m just starting out Bannerlord and it’s my first M&B game and your videos are really helping me. Cheers
extortion is a great way to make money. Simply build up your clan to the point where you have like 50 troops. This should be enough to raid most villages very easily. Try to raid only one kingdom's villages at once. Keep raiding and selling your goods to other kingdoms' towns. Eventually, the kingdom you're raiding will be willing to pay you to stop in the bartering menu, even if they're about to capture you. These are huge payouts.
Just bought this game for PS4 a few days ago, It's the first time i've played a game like this and have to say it's really addictive in a good way of course! Thanks for the useful info in this video just subscribed.
I have almost 600 hours in Bannerlord and I STILL come to your videos and feel like I need to get a pen and paper and take notes!
Not sure if this was mentioned but I find (mid game once you have a 200+ unit army) you can protit the most in war. The loot and prisoners from a large battles can yield 25k+.
Definitely one of the more profitable endeavors and fun:)
Also if you're just a few renown away from leveling up, keep the troops you get from battles even if you're over your limit and by the time you level up, that's less troops you need to buy/upgrade. It's helped me a ton.
Blacksmith is king. I can make 30 swords worth 25k each per Day
Tons of great tips here! Learned a lot I didn’t know. Gonna go try a few of them, then watch the video again for the others 😂
Thank you very much for this video, great stuff. I’m new to the game, loving it, but it’s a bit daunting. This was really helpful! 🙏
Pro tip for capturing prisoners if you and your army use bladed weapons do auto fights. I checked this many times and by fighting normally i get zero prisoners because they all die. But auto fight always gives a lot of prisoners. Also keep mounted prisoners for landowner needs manual laborers missions as they are worth a lot. I easily got around 15k denars by just keeping all the high value prisoners for those missions. Also dont just finish at the number he needs you can keep giving him as many as you want to increase the reward.
Thanks this is honestly great advice
I put some hours into this game figuring things out for myself so this was helpful to reinforce that and clear up everything. Thanks.
If you chill next to Garontor Castle attack the Aserai Caravans as they come threw the pass the get stuck. Just make sure to let them get over the water before you attack or they will just run back.
Keep it up man ur so chill and ur videos are so good ❤
Great guide. When it comes to Caravan Ambushes and Escorts, I usually run ahead, so I can get all of the kills and all of the loots. :)
I’ve found that the caravan protection missions are incredibly profitable. There’s essentially 3 means of income and you can get anywhere between 10-20k of gold. First you get the payout from the merchant usually around 3-4K, then you get 1500-2500 from prisoners you take after battles with raiders they usually attack in groups of 40 all on horseback you’ll fight maybe 4-6 of these groups along the route, then all the loot will get between 6k-12k in gold most I got from loot after the mission was 13k. Plus all the horses you get only add to your carry weight you get maybe 4-5 horses per group.
Have a comment for the algorhythm, thanks for your video, I've been watching ever since you started making videos for Bannerlord :P
My thoughts on workshops: yes, putting some thought into the resources is important (wood workshop at a city with a wood producing bound village, wool weavery in a town with a sheep-producing bound village, etc.). But perhaps most important of all--and a point which I hear very few people make--put your workshop in a (A) town which is least likely to ever rebel or be conquered, and which is also (B) prosperous. Depending on RNG, this can only be guessed at really early in a campaign. But if one kingdom starts to pull out ahead (for example, I see Vlandia push eastward into Battaninan and even Sturgian territory pretty often, and Northern Empire collapse pretty often too, and Khurgeit push west pretty often too), then picking the highest prosperity city in one of these "currently winning" factions which is also far away from the border seems wise.
I have not tried this yet, but putting together what I've observed in my own couple of playthroughs in the 5 to 10 year long ballpark, with what I've observed TH-camrs and other players saying, I think that this is the "winning" strategy for workshops.
I think TW have done a surprisingly good job of tweaking their game to favor a real long-term strategy, i.e., a multi-generational strategy, rather than a more "paint the map in 10 years strategy." Obviously, with sufficient mastery and a bit of luck, a good player can still achieve amazingly fast dominance; but the point is that, for the average player, the game favors a more long-term approach at this point.
Your videos help so much. Thank you!!
I've been playing this game for about 2 years. Love it. Super fun and hits strategy, economy, and the field fights are a blast.
Haven't played the game yet, looks very interesting. Economic strategy happening with China, we're getting them off, does tht consider beginning of the war???Meow
just started this game and i have no idea what im doing ahahah. these tips are making it a little clearer. very detailed game.
for manual labourers you only get 5x now but yeah, bandit hideouts, as well as the caravan quests also gives you a lot of raiders to sell. or just fight sea raiders, mountain/forest bandits. I never use blunt weapons specifically, but thats one way to max that out. but cant sell too many prisoners anyways, gets full quick.
As for the bandit hideout, if you duel then you get the other ones as prisoners.
thx dude your guides are really helpful
Glad to help!!
Great video! Little pro tip for console players, L1/LB + X/A is allows you to follow parties on the map. Keep up the great work ItalianSpartacus, and happy hunting everybody
Thank you!
any other shortcut tips?
Thanks for the tips, new to this genre and game. Helped me a lot to get some money early game.
IMO one of the best ways is to rush into merc contract and just go attack villages for recruits (or supplies if you need none), taking fights vs nobles when you can. The loot is worth a lot, the influence is worth decent amounts, and you farm renown faster than most alternatives (in IRL terms, not the 1 man vs villages/looters special which is fast in game time but awful in IRL time).
Great video. Thank you.
I have almost 1,000 hrs of game play and I still learned a lot from this video thank you 🙏 ❤
The casual“hey he looks like me” got me for some reason 😂
broski u did huge job ur amazing man :))
Gotta touch up on the roguery perk, the best way to level it is actually to break lords out of prison in my experience
Also with tournaments check the leaderboards, the number one will recieve 1 renown per day wich is pretty helpfull in the beginning
A good way I found is a two-parter so first mercenary contract and second go into the middle of an enemies territory and just track down individual parties moving around to join armies. Granted the way I did it while it was able to allow me to make a mill decently quickly the starting requirements are pretty high as you want at least a party of around 100 and I find the best thing is that a party of nothing but cavalry so you can catch enemies more easily, especially caravans
Omg the video arrives in time
This was helpful. After returning, getting up to 200k gold. earning renown and gold from tournaments and being a mercenary. and then selling mostly noble mounts and married my boo Nadea. Almost at clan T4 and I was looking for ways to help generate money. Now knowing workshops are different explains a lot. 😁 Also with smithing I've been smelting low tier weapons, the smelting the ores from them or, Smelting some of the tournament prizes for learning parts and the steel. But, you can sell unwanted iron, steel, and fine steel at a really nice price in certain cities. This way you can earn experience for anyone being a smithy and selling the iron and steel from low to some unwanted higher tier weapons. Which can earn you a good price when it's needed.
two handed swords pay the best from smithing. Aim for the T4 parts which use lower quality materials for best profit.
The tavern game in the Empire is grossly underrated as early game income. My win rate on defense is 100% when paying attention and 99% when I'm speed-clicking through the game. 1 minute, 500 gold, super easy.
This is the only money method I actually figured out for myself! I feel like it's the only logical skill based board games out of all the factions, the other games are just painful to play
I’ve played the early access for a while and have stil learned from this
Thank you, this helps
You didn't mention becoming a vassal and gaining a fief!
I'd be really picky about this, and make sure you join an enemy of whoever owns the fief you like. Then get influence fast, get an army and conquer a town. If you have no fiefs, you are more likely to get it. Then switch to the faction that controls the neighboring fiefs.
On my first playthrough I did get two crappy castles on the border and ended up with villages that were raided constantly. Once you have two fiefs, you won't get any more no matter how many you help capture (greedy king taking them all...). I'd had liked a nice quiet town on the edge of the map. If you want you can capture and release a bunch of nobles, they'll be your future colleagues.
Having a town has the added advantage you can buy all the workshops there without the chance of you losing them. Do invest time to make it more prosperous, clearing bandits in the area so caravans can pass safely. Oh, and building works and setting a governor. It may be patched, but having a companion in the tavern raises relation with notables that offers recruits. I've not looked into it yet, but you can do missions for the criminal elements in the city too. Maybe you can reduce crime or take over their operations?
holy crap I have like 800+ hours into this game and did not know about alt+click to follow objectives! THANK YOU FOR THAT! It might sound stupid, but that is a game changer for me, because that is one of the reasons I didn't do caravan protection quests, I didn't want to follow them around manually all the damn time.
Ouch I just started playing on console, and it tells you to hold LB and select a party to do this. Having to go manual sounds so harsh! I’d still play the amazing game though.
@@Steelbooking541 yeah it's just annoying because you got to click where you go each time, so it takes longer and is super annoying. Now that I know about it, my games about to get a lot more fun lol
On console you can just click talk on the characters in regards to the shop buying section. You don’t ever have to visit the town if you’re just trying to get things done.
Thank you for letting me know that the pottery shops makes pots and not pot thank you for that and the way you said it nonchalantly was nice
Cheers sparty. Thanks.
Keep these videos rolling they’re literally carrying my first play-through
I feel that. Didn't even know where to access Tournaments until this video so that's a win.
unlike your mom, who cannot be carried
Thanks for the video. Regards, Paras
Never enough gold to fuel my “Fashionlord” addiction. Freaking expensive!!!
Great video thanks and checking out Flesson right now too.
Update: quests cannot be layered anymore. Tried the other day and it says you have a conflicting quest :/ however! If you get a base quest, it’s likely you’ll get a bandit party quest. Usually there are multiple bandit parties in a single base so you can clear both of these quest types in one go. I find the caravan guard quest is very easy (as you usually outnumber the bandits via npc help) and can take you to tournament locations. Perfect for early game.
Trading is incredibly profitable. I usually start with small routes, only running between 3-4 cities that are decently close together with bulk goods. Once you get the second tier of perks, you can see how prices are relative to the global average. At that point, I start running more expensive goods further distances, just holding things in inventory that I bought for green and selling them in red. Easily make 100k in about 2 hours of playing.
Bannerlord is a great game, been playing alot lately, mods make the game 10x better imo I'd be very keen to see more bannerlord stuff on the channel
the current mods, not really, more like 1.1-2x better. but yes in the future probably
I mean most mods were broken by the the release patch. But sure. There is definitely some quality of life mods.
I just needed the one that reworked armor and ballistic damage; I am not dealing with nuclear rock throws while on horseback in full plate from bandits.
@@dustindubbo2892 yeah I got the essentials like dismemberment and the weather mod, and looaads of others, been modding it for awhile now and the most fun I've had was on a game of thrones mod conversion... Untill the game broke it 🤣
@@chase5233 for me the essential mod is RTS cam and a no brainer is Party AI overhaul & commands.
obviously no one is the same, but how can those 2 mods you mentioned be "essentials" for you? only some extra immersion in battles, if even that...
alt+left click to follow...this is why i watch these videos after all these years of playing the game...thank you!
Villages seem to only sell the goods to cities within the fraction that controls it now. Sargot in my game is producing lots of food. But before my fraction took it and gave it to me it always had food shortages.
Used to spin an insane profit (4+x) from "herding" horses from Aserai to Vlandia. No more after this release. Margins are more stringent all around now... 2x is now considered good.
Did they fix the exploit where you sold all your horses at a high price, then bought them back at a low price?
i had no clue you could change what the workshop is... i have been enlightened
Thanks for this video, great editing.
However, when you go to the encyclopedia to look for a good companion to settle him on a caravan business, if you have not met the characters before, you won't have the information. So, how did you manage to get all the characters with all their information? Did you meet them before?
The comic speed up made it sound like you were hunting Zubats in the old pokemon.
Pressing alt for pc to show stuff is R1/RB on console and it's mouse cursor for console too with the option of quick select with the D pad just for the future
I've done help with brigades. Bandit base near and the captured associates. And then the needs workers.
u can also save scum the reward, its RNG is decided the moment u hit "join the tournament" or "watch the tournament" (it gets locked in after the first time the menu is opened no matter how many times u reload.) save before opening the menus, then reload till u get an item you want. Its quality is still based of of how many lord are in the fight though.
The problem with the arena is not every arena is going to offer up the same amount I was all making from a 600 gold bet just a little over it sometimes some of the tournaments are actually very cheap
Any idea what to do when the towns all somehow run out of frickin money; mine are taking forever to get cash and unless I go to the other end of the map in Kurghat land I can’t even sell my stuff.
I'm a year too late BUT, this all still applies pretty much lol thanks spartacus
Liked just so Puppy can have more treats 😊
Good stuff! Just bought the game after 2 years of waiting, and finally on 20% off lol.
That's pathetic.
@@kylelinder5353 what
Good Advice Enjoy your channel.
The Two Hand Sword smithing strat is amazing!! I’m at work rn but can’t stop thinking about the million debars I’ve got waiting for me. Took me 4.5 hours to set up but it’s definitely worth it. A single crafted Sword is selling for 16k 😬
You should not make 2 handed swords they cost too much steel, most efficient method is to craft the glaive pike with the level 4 pole, not the level 5 one , the level 5 one only sells for like 3000 but the level 4 one with the glaive head gives you 22000 denars, it’s the best weapon I’ve found to sell only costs 2 fine steel & one wood
How do u brace your lance or spear on ps5 does anyone know ???
I myself found that doing tournaments is extreamly easy and a fast way to get money i just rotate a few cities for tournaments and went from 100 gold to 10k real in under an hour and i got a neat acheivement for winning tournaments and getting the top rank
When it comes to arena tournaments, if you get a horse, you call sell them for up to 17,000 dennars.
just bought the game... i have a question
is the there a timelimit in singleplayer mod, (for example 200 years) .... or is it without end?
11:38 the sped up hideout music sounds like some 2d platformer😂
My workshop has been making 0 coins since like a year ago (in game) and I have a hardwood town near and it is a woodery
Is the crafted two handed sword selling cap to 15 k normal I’m level 217 smithing or am I doing it wrong
Can you mix faction/race/starting culture troops?
Can anyone tell me, does having sheep in your party give you wool? Or am I just getting that from bandits? I can’t tell
Smithing is the best, get the highest level javelin, really cheap to produce, plus sells for 13k without any perk increases
Whenever I try to bet I get lower stakes in-spite of having lords in the tournament! for eg if I bet 600 I will get only 850 back. Any reason why?? Thanks.
When I start a new playthrough first thing I do after tutorial Before I recruit any soilders is go to a city arena and Practice Fighting until I earn 10k in gold and rank my diffrent combat and athletic skills. Then when I go to a tournament I am more then ready to compete with about any Lord. I find If I don't do this I tend to get destroyed in the first round of Tournament more often then not. Plus if you contantly Run while in practice you increase run speed so you can move quicker in combat.
Great idea! No consequences and lots of experience this way.
@@BluebellyGaming Thanks, however it can seem kind of tedious at first but well worth the effort and definitely pays off.
If you want to do it easier, only enroll in Empire tournaments because they are 1H+shield 99% of the time and it's so much easier than 2H. Then in the fights get close to an enemy, shield bash them (with E key on PC) and instantly start hitting them. Usually they won't have time to recover and you can just spam them until they are dead.
I just click on the objective sometimes it’ll work sometimes I catch up n end up interacting with it on accident but it’s worked well lol lmk how to properly follow it tho pls
Is story mode completed?
Iv just been going from city to city doing tournaments hoping to get a 15k worth horse and selling those in-between being a merc and just raiding villages
When you do Hideouts, you gain a positive reputation with the lord of that region.
God black smithing is so op. I’ve been doing to start my play through for the last year and half. Literally can end up making you over 100k a weapon at the high end.😂
I lost two workshops because of war is it possible to get them back?
12:44 This is the main way to make money (outside of smithing cheese): Just kill stuff (especially decent quality troops) and sell the loot. Much simpler and faster than most of these other shenanigans.
True but it can't be relied upon. Especially late game since sometimes you spend a month or more in a siege so you want some level of passive income and castles and towns during war times can't always be relied upon to provide that
Especially if you want a decent garrison
On console for following objective like caravans is LB and A on Xbox and LB and what ever A would be on PlayStation.
Would you consider doing an indepth guide on formations, commands and tricks for those? i saw your video where you covered it a bit but I wonder if there's more to it. Also, a question, how do I seperate units? I am trying get my Legionnaries in one group and the spear dudes(forgot their names...) from the Imperials to not be in the same group but when I sort on spear it still keeps Legio's.
Sadly their isn’t a way to separate those completely, but a TH-camr called strat gaming does formation and tactic guides that are really helpful.
@@ethanreeves6676 Ah thank you. That's a shame though. Would be a nice QoL change.
@@BrianHuis yeah it changed when they added the new battle orders system.
If I become a mercenary, will that fuck up my reputation later on if I become a vassal?
Tip for tournaments is go to battania because they will often have those very nice horses as rewards and I’ve gotten some over 10k from tournaments there. Also avoid Vlandian tournaments they don’t give you worthwhile items
Thank 🎉
i always start whit heading to seonon cause hardwood is very cheap over there at the start of the game and it has good amount of iron ore i then hire a companion to speed up the refining proces and when i have enough ingots i forge 2 handed swords whit high swing damage the firts swords you smith usuaky are worth 1k each and when you progress you smithing skill and unlock more parts they easliy become 5k each and when i get around 50k cash money i buy my first brewery in pravend and recruit a few troops create a caravan whit my companion and start trading some goods and fight some bandits
This is the grindy, but best way to make money. Your end goal is the T4 parts which use low tier materials as they give the best profit
I’ve been struggling with the challenge I gave myself. I want to start my own kingdom. Generating enough passive income to sustain and large army to eventually take over a city is so difficult right now. I’m trying to not become a vassal so I don’t lose relations with an entire kingdom just for leaving.
From my personal experience, it's best to just become a vassal and get multiple cities and/or castles in your possession and then leave the kingdom and start your own. If you try to siege a city or castle all by yourself, it will be super difficult and you will go to war with the kingdom you are attacking. AFAIK the only way to obtain a city or a castle without war or lost relations is by getting Trade to 275, getting ~6 million denars and buying one. But even so, good luck trying to defend your single city/castle against the other kingdoms when they randomly and very often just decide to declare war on you, sometimes even multiple kingdoms at the same time 😄
Personally I had 3 cities in my possession before abandoning the kingdom and starting my own. Then I had to recruit a shitton of nobles and mercenaries to get enough armies to defend and even then I had to resort to abusing smithing to get enough money to stay afloat.
smithing. All you need.
spartacus do you have any victoria 3 noob tutorial i want to play as albania but i cant
Hello where did you get your gear from?
I usually start my Warband gameplay being a trader, then shift to every available business to stabilize my income then it's conquering time. Conquered the vanilla Calradia twice.
Tried the same on Bannerlord and was kinda disappointed that there is a cap to how many bussinesses I could own, and trading is not as optimal as it was. Made a new character, now with better knowledge. And so far I think being a mercenary is the best non-smithing way to gain money. Easily hit the first 100k within the first in-game year without trying much. It's waaay lot better than being a vassal except the part that you have no stash.
