Clearing out hideouts can also help progress the "So and So needs help with brigands" quest as well. There are usually 2-3 parties of bandits at a base, which would either complete or at least count towards the quest goal. I usually just focus on finding the Bounty Hunter and Bandit Base quests, but it's a nice bonus when you can get it.
I like those seperate tbh for training troops. The bandits it spawns don’t attack you at all so you can just let it sit until theres like 40 bandit parties.
@@MONTUSKER thry keep spawning and then going afk after being chased for a couple seconds, staying on the map as more spawn and walk past you?? That’s pretty useful to know if that’s how it happens, I’ll be able to train up by 500 highborn youth I’ve got stacked in my castes in no time 😂
Great tips in the video. Another benefit of Roguery, a lot of the extra loot seems to be low value items which can be discarded and given to your troops for XP (with the correct perks taken). Makes training up replacements much more efficient. Sell anything over 100d and give the rags to your boys and they'll be Legionaries and Fians in no time.
Little late to the party on this thread so for those watching this video now, I have a HUGE suggestion for smithing to make big bucks: Javelins. With the perk to for selling back weapons fee reduction I am getting 23k PER javelin. The mats to make that are not much and it doesn't take long to get all the unlocks.
the tournaments its broken and boring.. its samme northe east south.. its easy and dumb... why not make a 10 vs 10 or new ideas.. its the same as warband.. remove it and come up with something better...
once i get 150 in Roguery i grab 49 pissants and take 'Escort Cravan' missions. im usually ClanTierII by then with a few companions and in an kingdom. run ahead ov the caravan. 'can we join yuou?' and thats 18-45 Mounted Pillagers. take em into your group. make another party. give all to the other party, repeat till both/all parties are full, create an army, pull your companions for free into your army. with the worse followers you can get thats 300 mounted archers you got paid to find. they are weak. cant upgrade BUT are cheep fast and archers. stratgy after that. follow your ally armies. never join. engage the smaller armies close enough to pull the big army in... let th emain army charge. you follow their archers and shadow them with your mounted pillager. we do not engage. we enrage. if you get the timing right you can do a wide sweep infont ov the front line in the initial set up, and your mounted pillagers (set to follow and Skein) will all get a volly off... you ride back tothe archers and pull the enemy calvery through the front line you are supporting and pick off any that make it pass. in seiges pull all archers to you and stand behind the people with shields as they run to the walls. you stay on the ground and provide archer support. often the enemy will die out trying to opush the ladders off the wall and you will never have to climb a ladder yourself. if the battering ram makes it to the door. i retreat and try again. and when the mounted pillagers all die you take the money you earned raising the bad boys and get a real army. change the stratagy or... get actually trained mounted archers and repeat with professionals. i on average lose about a dozen a war... not a dozen a fight. a dozen a war. we do not engage. we enrage.
Tips for smithing ! There is a "bug" rn with the short pine staff T3 for polearm, giving "throw weapon" characteristic to your crafted polearm. Its extremely cost efficient, and easily grindable instead of 2H Sword !
Haven't played in over a year, helpful video to get my finances in place early game with how much things have changed, thanks! Tournaments are finally worth it now! I am not sure I would agree on pumping those precious focus points in roguery though. I haven't played in a while and skills have been way reworked but I don't see anything there worth prioritizing over other skills. Skills like steward, medicine, leadership, charm, scouting, riding, athletics and whatever weapons you want all would take priority for me and smithing still looks like a better money maker. There just aren't enough skill/focus points to go around to be fiddling with roguery. A shame really because I thought we were getting a bandit king role or similar options years ago.
GAME IS ACTUALLY FINISHED AND PLAYABLE! i too got conned with the 2 year ago 'full release' and bought it.... got 2500 hours in it and youwill love the finished product... PST! no more angry men yelling at an empty ladder... they actually climb them now!
reread your post. have some pointers. you CAN get 300 in all skills with out cheating but youhave to plan ahead. first focus on social and intelegence. they govern medicine, charm, leadership, steward, trade, seige.... all these passivly grow as you move around the map and are better long term than personal skills like riding/weapon. they also grow much faster than personal skills meaning you level faster. meaning you have more points to spend. i increase the bottom 4 Stats to 10 and put 5 points in each ov the 3 skills THEN i decide if im going ot be on foot/mounted/sword/spear/bow/crossbow/javlin. with master Roguery i can take a pitchfork and civilian cloths and be tankier and harder hitting than if i masterd polearms and authletics.Z good luck ill raise a stein to you if i see you in the mead halls. and i will know the name ov the good man i kill when we meet at the shield wall.
Great video, don't mind the length at all mate. Would really appreciate a mid game version! I played the game hard back in early access release but haven't touched it since, mind getting blown at additions despite all the great content out there. Why is my brother such a chad and how am I meant to spec him?!!
One problem I discovered with turning bandit prisoners into the village labor quest is that Rogue skill gains do not occur, unlike when selling prisoners at Tavern where rogue skill gain occurs for selling prisoner.
the rogue skill gain is tiny though, its better to recruit them into your party. From what I remember you get 10 XP per bandit you sell to tavern no matter the level, I can get 1000X that in one prison break
@@teambellavsteamalice Prison breaks if they have lords in the dungeon, if using useful companions mod, you get roguery just for having bandits as poisoners
I tend to avoid going mercenary as wars will disable your workshops and possibly kill your caravans. In my first steps I build a big economy. I trade, and build caravans and workshops. I also get in some fights to raise troops morale and farm sea raiders, they have great gear.
**Mistake correction*** To gain Roguery with the useful companions mod. If you are the scout and have bandits as prisoners then you gain roguery. That doesn't work in vanilla, but they don't need to be troops just having as prisoners works.
Hey just want to let you know, while watching this particular video, I got ads, so at least this one is generating. Hopefully things get fixed quick, appreciate your attention to detail, I've really learned aa lot about this game because of you. Thank you
Something kinda dumb and obvious in retrospect but I realized a short while ago is if you are doing the campaign you need to hold off on being a Merc until you have completed the main quest line of talking to the 10 lords. The reason is you are drug into wars that will halt your free roam of the map. I found this out trying to get to makeb with 22 men after signing up to the western empire being caught and having to reload. I really am anxious to get into Merc and being a vassal but one thing at a time
If you do smithing you will never have to worry about money or gear, you can just buy that 100k hauberk for all the two-handed swords you made. Tier 3 and 4 swords are all you need, you don´t even have to level smithing very high, about 120 and you can be the richest guy in Calradia. I feel it´s kind of cheesy anyway and tedious to smith, once you are merc the money will just start rolling in with all the loot you get ... smithing is the lazy shortcut which I did in earlier runs.
that's why I don't smith or ever recommend to new people. They don't learn other ways and become dependent on it. I dont smith or use workshops and with just roguery and fighting I make tons
I fish for tournaments that reward the horses. They're a great way to make cash. I have an army of about 100 troops so slaughtering hogs and sheep isn't incredible profit but its still not bad. That and the east side of the map had steppe bandit faction who aren't with any other kingdom so I raid their parties. All this with having four workshops ( honestly best one is making is 200 and some gold) is getting me by.
This is super late but just gotten into the game for you're next guide maby also include on the bandit base quest you can also include the quest killing brigand groups as that also works with hideouts
@@Flesson19 ty that was most helpful. i've been starting them between day 75-100 when i have the gold and companions. i've found that 3 caravans will either fully cover or 85% cover the wages of my troops.
I am not doing many guides right now as so much has been covered, my guides channel has smaller, quicker guides. It takes a few days to make those and with the drop in views it's hard to spend that much time for very little views now. Even though I love doing it
Thanks for the guide - having recently purchased the game, it's hard to find relevant content, with most 18 months to 2 years old. Loving the game - now just need to find a kingdom to vassal to.
@@Flesson19 Currently level 22 & 80% towards clan tier 4 - Haven't done any caravans, or used the Smith option. Plus would like to know who to vassal to & why (maybe map position). Where is the best places on the map to start your own kingdom? Played a lot of Warband Native & Viking Conquest so that helped. Also some info & strategy for managing big battles would be welcome. Thanks again.
@@jamesl5776 for vassals I use companions and make companions clans, just need to give them a fief, I give castles and costs 500 influence so I build up low level ones with steward and medicine. the location is tricky. I have a system how I defend my fiefs so I want it more for important villages that supply food. I show my fighting strategies on my livestreams. Just go to my playlist and watch the last episode on the infantry livestream and I do it over and over, capture their lords imprison and soon they will pay me for peace or I can just steam roll them. overall tactics are tricky to describe as its a process and easier to show on my streams. But I have videos in my new plyer playlist to help you prepare to be a vassal an then run a kingdom, including things to be done first, policies to pick.
the easiest quest probably going to be "Deliver weapons", it range from 3-5 axes, the reward is going to be at least 2000 denars, cheap pickaxe and hatcher (100-150 denars) also count toward the "Axes" weapon.
@@Flesson19 right. It’s always called “Gang leader needs weapons”. You spend about 600 and make 2 grand or more for about 30 seconds of navigating the menu
@@Flesson19 also, I don't know if it work anymore- but back then, you can grind your skill at the training ground. It's pretty broken to start the campaign with 60+ points into your main combat skills.
really not much has changed except for kingdom elimination. I don't do guides unless there is a good reason so I don't waste your time. If things I will 100% update it
I do my chain quests similarly, but I get bored of walking (in the bandit hideouts) so I do the escort caravan or caravan ambush and then search for the manual labourers quest while escorting the caravans and sell those mounted prisoners
I let my T3 aserai footman do the work since they have blunt weapons and I use RTS to speed it up, apologize if your a console person, know that sucks if you are
If you have the setting for hero deaths in battle turned off, how do you completely eliminate a faction (even when they don’t have any fiefs remaining)? Any advice would be appreciated. Love these help videos so far!
Ha good question I turned it on for non me people and have been executing all my stragglers, if you go that route just know you will become very dishonorable…
Hey, i disagree and agree with alot but the main thing i would add is that with smithing, much like the slaughter of animals. You can buy wood, make charcoal, sell it untill you get charcoal maker skill. Then make so much money by being a mobile charcoal maker plus the trading a the same time. After you flood a market with charcoal, the price of hard wood drops so buy it out and move to the next town, never lose money cos hardwood is up in price at alot of towns
yes getting efficient charcoal make can get you a lot of money. It is a vey strong strategy but when I did he video I tried to include thing a lot would do each game. Most games I don't smith and know many don't like it. I could probably make 3 or 4 videos like this with so many great ideas. I took me almost an entire day to come up with ideas and just to narrow a list to 10 so I do agree with you on it.
@@Flesson19 with a response like that, im gonna have to sub now. 1 thing i find myself wanting is a video about units, either by factions and sub factions or by unit type such as infantry or archer and there sub types. Just btw, im on ps4. So i just started playing, but loads of time spent in the first game. I found the game didnt explain anything at all very well , like with talking to people rather than "take a walk around" and who is my scout, how do i get a wife/husband. Is there and advantage to being a man or woman. Should i pick my starting faction based on what troop type i want. And many more. The most important thing i need to know asap is, how do i stop my trade caravan and get my companions back or can i not do that? Do you know? Dose anyone know?
@@paradiseviews1533 in the party screen, you wlll see your caravans, click on them and it will bring up a long list, there you can swap out to a new leader or on the left disband the caravan all together. Many things arent explained well. I do have a walkthrough where I try to explain things and do them for every major branch. But since full release (V 1.0) I m still learning and don't feel comfortable enough releasing it till Im better informed. I have 6,000 hours into the game and it is quite different now. Also if you have discord, I am in there 10-14 hours a day so its easy to get questions answered quickly as I try to make myself available to you all
@@Flesson19 omg, thank you so much lol. I was trying to find out that for the longest time. I would just wait till they got captured then id have them back
@@paradiseviews1533 you can do that with party groups as well, either change to a different leader or disband, great way to switch out people for new equipment and not lose your party
So I did the sheep and pig thing and selling off my gear and I only ended up with 1738 denars? Did I do something wrong? Like for a sheep run I did 344 and then sold for 384... profit but not the margins you're getting
@@Flesson19 Yes I did that's how I got the profit. I followed the video step for step. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. My extra gear also didn't sell for a whole lot like 500 denars. I also play on easy (new) so idk if that makes a difference. Also just wanted to say I appreciate the quick response :)
I find it odd that blunt weapons let you take more prisoners. It has to be the hardest to incapacitate without killing using a blunt weapon they do damage to massive areas. Piercing would be the most likely to incapacitate someone with the lowest chance to kill them. You can stitch up a small hole if it didn't hit anything vital. But crushed bones ruptured organs ect we have a hard time fixing those with modern medicine.
There are hundreds of lethal stab points on the body, statistically you are way more likely to survive a slash cut than a stab. You can find a chart online of the lethal stab points on the human body and it’s like the whole thing. That being said it’s also super easy to crack a skull 🤔
@@quartqwertbudisgood yeah I talked to my Medic buddy after posting that and he said slashes were easiest to treat. He also pointed out they are less likely to take you out of the fight. But either way blunt force was definitely the worst lol.
1.7 is really old and most wont work, where 1.1.0 is the newest branch and people are still updating them and they could break with a hotfix. That is why most of my games are modded on 1.0.2 which is not patched so mod never break
if you have the prisoners with you then you visit, talk once then talk again to complete. But if you visit to get quest, leave and get prisoners then come back and visit then he can. So I get get prisoners fist before doing quest
So I think I edited my engineering post a bit to much and YT seems to have put it in the spam folder. Sorry Metallurgy at skill 225 in Engineering gives 80% chance for less likely to get dull swords (1.7.0 patch) according to Bannerlordperks. I did a few battles after I got the 225 and counted the Swords only so far. 43 Dull/Slightly/Rusty Swords 65 Normal/Balanced/Masterwork - 5 masterwork, 10 Balanced, 50 Normal.
Before the 225 I found a Lordly Coat of Plates but I forgot where and how. But a few minutes ago I found a Masterwork Southern Scale over Mail Hauberk, its on sale 436.270 Denars in Husn Fulq 😅I sold my Lordly armor and bought it back for 143.251 Denars. I got 152 Trade. Masterwork Southern Scale over Mail Hauberk 51-25-16 armor. Lordly Coat of Plates 53-27-14 armor. Go figure how the prices work. 🤷♂
Obviously not, he used console commands and that is perfectly fine cause otherwise he would have to spend many hours farming it. His point still stands that roguery is good for loot.
Ah ok I don't really understand how the skills level up yet because I think I saw 10 skill points plus 5 focus points wasn't moving the bottom arrow all the way over. All I know is I'm still trying to figure out what gives me xp
Are you sure on this? I thought when you have no green on the character screen it means you aren't getting it boosted by skill points but not that you won't advance at all. I may be wrong but I think it's possible, just absurdly time consuming.
@@Michaelcoe94 ah i see, its with thamaskene parts, personally i tend to avoid them and prefer parts with cheaper materials cause they are easier to mass produce. Thanks for sharing anyway though!😁
I once got a helmet worth like 50k ish… Tho that was on 1.9 Highest value i have gotten from release was… I don’t remember… Atleast over 9k tho Edit: Nvm… Highest value from tournament on release for me… Above 20k Got a tier6 mount
I like your content but I have one criticism. Do you slow down how fast you talk to extend the video. Because I listen to you at 1.25x playback speed and you sound absolutely normal. But if I listen at the normal speed you have posted your videos, I risk having a brain aneurism from how slow the voice plays, its not real. Knock it off please.
I have gotten this question many times so I am used to it. About 40% of my audience is outside of North America so I talk slow so they can understand me better. It is easier to speed up a video to sound normal than to slow it down. That's why I do
Heh, it's because you opted into beta testing. 1.0 is not beta testing, so it won't show up on the beta patch list. You simply need to just opt out of beta all together, and the game will update to release.
@@Flesson19 Ooooh i see. I honestly never really looked at that one. By now i know round about what i buy things at and when to sell, trade skill of 170 doesnt come from nowhere eh :)
My god i am so grateful there is people like Flesson and Strat who love analyzing/optimizing/min-maxing this game as much as i do! Thank you so much!

I am not doing many guides right now as so much has been covered, my guides channel has smaller, quicker guides. It takes a few days to make those and with the drop in views it's hard to spend that much time for very little views now. Even though I love doing it
Great Vid!
Thanks
Edit1: any news on the updates? Yesterday and today when I log into steam, Bannerlord has updated.
no news, not sure if sever side issues but you if you mod from steam they could also be mod updates
Good stuff bro!
thank you so much
Dude, thank you!
Thank you for watching
Thanks for the guide - having recently purchased the game, it's hard to find relevant content, with most 18 months to 2 years old. Loving the game - now just need to find a kingdom to vassal to.
I have a whole playlist for new players and walkthroughs series. Let me know what you want nd ill find it for ya
@@Flesson19 Currently level 22 & 80% towards clan tier 4 - Haven't done any caravans, or used the Smith option. Plus would like to know who to vassal to & why (maybe map position). Where is the best places on the map to start your own kingdom? Played a lot of Warband Native & Viking Conquest so that helped. Also some info & strategy for managing big battles would be welcome. Thanks again.
@@jamesl5776 for vassals I use companions and make companions clans, just need to give them a fief, I give castles and costs 500 influence so I build up low level ones with steward and medicine. the location is tricky. I have a system how I defend my fiefs so I want it more for important villages that supply food. I show my fighting strategies on my livestreams. Just go to my playlist and watch the last episode on the infantry livestream and I do it over and over, capture their lords imprison and soon they will pay me for peace or I can just steam roll them. overall tactics are tricky to describe as its a process and easier to show on my streams. But I have videos in my new plyer playlist to help you prepare to be a vassal an then run a kingdom, including things to be done first, policies to pick.
Great video
Flesson is like Strat, but has more tips than mechanics which is amazing
Spot on right there
the easiest quest probably going to be "Deliver weapons", it range from 3-5 axes, the reward is going to be at least 2000 denars, cheap pickaxe and hatcher (100-150 denars) also count toward the "Axes" weapon.
That's the gang leader right? People keep mentioning it but I don't think I've ever done it
@@Flesson19 right. It’s always called “Gang leader needs weapons”. You spend about 600 and make 2 grand or more for about 30 seconds of navigating the menu
@@Flesson19 yes, looters have plenty, so another reason to hunt looters with prejudice.
@@Flesson19 also, I don't know if it work anymore- but back then, you can grind your skill at the training ground. It's pretty broken to start the campaign with 60+ points into your main combat skills.
@@asketillus8679 ok im gonna try it now
I actually like giving the head a piece of the pie if the village of the culture troops I am using for the option gain.
that's true,2 different relation gains. It's easier with lower paying quests but with how expensive khuzait are its tough to give away that much
What town(s) are best to go to for hogs and sheep?
they are all over, but there is a good concentration right at Marunth/ rhotae /legta and all 4 hhuzit towns long the right side of the map
I had no idea you could slaughter the animals yourself! Thanks for passing that on.
your very welcome
Comment! lol great video! Love these!
Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words
Good tips! Thank you
Thank you for watching
Another killer guide. Any updates for 1.2? ;)
really not much has changed except for kingdom elimination. I don't do guides unless there is a good reason so I don't waste your time. If things I will 100% update it
Fuckin' love this game.
I do too 6k hours and going
I do my chain quests similarly, but I get bored of walking (in the bandit hideouts) so I do the escort caravan or caravan ambush and then search for the manual labourers quest while escorting the caravans and sell those mounted prisoners
I let my T3 aserai footman do the work since they have blunt weapons and I use RTS to speed it up, apologize if your a console person, know that sucks if you are
If you have the setting for hero deaths in battle turned off, how do you completely eliminate a faction (even when they don’t have any fiefs remaining)? Any advice would be appreciated. Love these help videos so far!
You can't, but if you have birth death option on then in option enable battle death
Ha good question I turned it on for non me people and have been executing all my stragglers, if you go that route just know you will become very dishonorable…
@@quartqwertbudisgood Im doing a death campaign on my second channel, easy to do if you use companions who dont have positive honor as companion clans
Deserved comment for AG. Please get better sound equipment though. Audio is strange sometimes.
Thank you, have plans for new cpu, hd and a blue yeti mic by the end if the year
Awesome. Watching your domination gameplay. Thanks for the tips.
@@revolutionarypatriot8361 thank you agiain
Hey, i disagree and agree with alot but the main thing i would add is that with smithing, much like the slaughter of animals. You can buy wood, make charcoal, sell it untill you get charcoal maker skill. Then make so much money by being a mobile charcoal maker plus the trading a the same time. After you flood a market with charcoal, the price of hard wood drops so buy it out and move to the next town, never lose money cos hardwood is up in price at alot of towns
yes getting efficient charcoal make can get you a lot of money. It is a vey strong strategy but when I did he video I tried to include thing a lot would do each game. Most games I don't smith and know many don't like it. I could probably make 3 or 4 videos like this with so many great ideas. I took me almost an entire day to come up with ideas and just to narrow a list to 10 so I do agree with you on it.
@@Flesson19 with a response like that, im gonna have to sub now. 1 thing i find myself wanting is a video about units, either by factions and sub factions or by unit type such as infantry or archer and there sub types.
Just btw, im on ps4. So i just started playing, but loads of time spent in the first game. I found the game didnt explain anything at all very well , like with talking to people rather than "take a walk around" and who is my scout, how do i get a wife/husband. Is there and advantage to being a man or woman. Should i pick my starting faction based on what troop type i want. And many more.
The most important thing i need to know asap is, how do i stop my trade caravan and get my companions back or can i not do that? Do you know? Dose anyone know?
@@paradiseviews1533 in the party screen, you wlll see your caravans, click on them and it will bring up a long list, there you can swap out to a new leader or on the left disband the caravan all together. Many things arent explained well. I do have a walkthrough where I try to explain things and do them for every major branch. But since full release (V 1.0) I m still learning and don't feel comfortable enough releasing it till Im better informed. I have 6,000 hours into the game and it is quite different now. Also if you have discord, I am in there 10-14 hours a day so its easy to get questions answered quickly as I try to make myself available to you all
@@Flesson19 omg, thank you so much lol. I was trying to find out that for the longest time. I would just wait till they got captured then id have them back
@@paradiseviews1533 you can do that with party groups as well, either change to a different leader or disband, great way to switch out people for new equipment and not lose your party
So I did the sheep and pig thing and selling off my gear and I only ended up with 1738 denars? Did I do something wrong? Like for a sheep run I did 344 and then sold for 384... profit but not the margins you're getting
did you slaughter them and sell off both the meat and hides
@@Flesson19 Yes I did that's how I got the profit. I followed the video step for step. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. My extra gear also didn't sell for a whole lot like 500 denars. I also play on easy (new) so idk if that makes a difference. Also just wanted to say I appreciate the quick response :)
@@Flamerax1 it could have been the throwing knvies, you get them as an option when you crate your character
good stuff!👍👍
is there a way to reset the skills ur companions start with?
Their focus and attribute, in vanilla no, with the character reload modu can
I only got 1k for the hogs after paying 800 for them do you need to start out with a decent trade stat?
No u sell both the hides and meat
I won several horses that sold for 20k each..went from zero to hero in one irl days worth of tournaments
they seem to be just a bit more rare in 1.2 now
2am..
Time for Bannerlord!
Hail General
Hunting horses in tournaments is an insane way to make money, I did that early on getting like 17k per horse
yeah if you get the Rng it changes thing so much for ya
I find it odd that blunt weapons let you take more prisoners. It has to be the hardest to incapacitate without killing using a blunt weapon they do damage to massive areas. Piercing would be the most likely to incapacitate someone with the lowest chance to kill them.
You can stitch up a small hole if it didn't hit anything vital. But crushed bones ruptured organs ect we have a hard time fixing those with modern medicine.
TW logic
There are hundreds of lethal stab points on the body, statistically you are way more likely to survive a slash cut than a stab. You can find a chart online of the lethal stab points on the human body and it’s like the whole thing. That being said it’s also super easy to crack a skull 🤔
@@quartqwertbudisgood yeah I talked to my Medic buddy after posting that and he said slashes were easiest to treat. He also pointed out they are less likely to take you out of the fight. But either way blunt force was definitely the worst lol.
Thank you :)
thank you for watching
More like this please.
What’s the difference between e1.70 vs v1.110 I try and get mods but it doesn’t tell me which one is capable with
1.7 is really old and most wont work, where 1.1.0 is the newest branch and people are still updating them and they could break with a hotfix. That is why most of my games are modded on 1.0.2 which is not patched so mod never break
Nice just got off work 😂
I’ve gotten a few $15K horses and helms from 6 man tournaments
The other one are helms, you can get those 15K ones often
Im commenting for the algorithm
Got some horses worth 18k+ in tournaments, they are always worth doing imho.
yes I still wonder if they will lower it down a bit
Laborers quest - even if you visit insted of talking, you can be interrupted by villager
if you have the prisoners with you then you visit, talk once then talk again to complete. But if you visit to get quest, leave and get prisoners then come back and visit then he can. So I get get prisoners fist before doing quest
So I think I edited my engineering post a bit to much and YT seems to have put it in the spam folder. Sorry
Metallurgy at skill 225 in Engineering gives 80% chance for less likely to get dull swords (1.7.0 patch) according to Bannerlordperks.
I did a few battles after I got the 225 and counted the Swords only so far.
43 Dull/Slightly/Rusty Swords
65 Normal/Balanced/Masterwork - 5 masterwork, 10 Balanced, 50 Normal.
Before the 225 I found a Lordly Coat of Plates but I forgot where and how. But a few minutes ago I found a Masterwork Southern Scale over Mail Hauberk, its on sale 436.270 Denars in Husn Fulq 😅I sold my Lordly armor and bought it back for 143.251 Denars. I got 152 Trade.
Masterwork Southern Scale over Mail Hauberk 51-25-16 armor.
Lordly Coat of Plates 53-27-14 armor.
Go figure how the prices work. 🤷♂
TW math
I'm pretty sure you can't reach a 200 skill, roguery, by having 3 cunning and 2 focus points into it....
Obviously not, he used console commands and that is perfectly fine cause otherwise he would have to spend many hours farming it. His point still stands that roguery is good for loot.
Correct just for testing
Ah ok I don't really understand how the skills level up yet because I think I saw 10 skill points plus 5 focus points wasn't moving the bottom arrow all the way over. All I know is I'm still trying to figure out what gives me xp
Are you sure on this? I thought when you have no green on the character screen it means you aren't getting it boosted by skill points but not that you won't advance at all.
I may be wrong but I think it's possible, just absurdly time consuming.
3 cunning and 2 focus is 112
Darksyde phil here
come back to the light
Aaarrgh I cant watch it now, I have an appointment. Why you do this 😂 I am gonna get in trouble 😅
Keep that appointment, will always be here for ya
how do i lvl roguery on the console as we do not have mods
either attacking caravans, raiding villages or keep bandit in your party as troops
@@Flesson19 ty that helps

did you see "ESO" channel, Danny is doing a playthrough :). good for the game, get more people seeing Bannerlord. but it will be boring for you lol :D
figured with launch he would finally come back to it since views are so high
What's the most expensive weapon to craft?
I'm not 100% sure 9f the parts nit it's a 2h sword

Bruh you can cut up animals?? I always just made my soldiers eat them when everything else was gone
I do that later and sell the hides and keep the meat for my soldiers
👏
i got a horse from the tournament which i sold for 18k !!! lol
Payday $$$
nice
for some reason, my blunt weapon actually kill
Some have pierce dmg on thrust so avoid them
@@Flesson19 i just use swing... it's strange. Maybe I hit the head too hard?
sad to see the game is still broken even on 'full release'
Yes still a lot to do
I once got a helmet worth like 50k ish… Tho that was on 1.9
Highest value i have gotten from release was…
I don’t remember… Atleast over 9k tho
Edit: Nvm… Highest value from tournament on release for me… Above 20k
Got a tier6 mount
Neat
thank you
How do you cut up animals
in your inventory screen, not in the trader screen. click on them and you will see the option
Is this up to date
I think so. I havent heard of any changes that should effect this
I like your content but I have one criticism. Do you slow down how fast you talk to extend the video. Because I listen to you at 1.25x playback speed and you sound absolutely normal. But if I listen at the normal speed you have posted your videos, I risk having a brain aneurism from how slow the voice plays, its not real. Knock it off please.
I have gotten this question many times so I am used to it. About 40% of my audience is outside of North America so I talk slow so they can understand me better. It is easier to speed up a video to sound normal than to slow it down. That's why I do
@@Flesson19 I guess I can keep up because we talk fast in Scotland, lol. I'll just keep the playback speed a little higher. Ta.
slaughtering livestock loses me money, even on day 1

its 1.9.0 in my game, there is no 1.0 release
Heh, it's because you opted into beta testing. 1.0 is not beta testing, so it won't show up on the beta patch list. You simply need to just opt out of beta all together, and the game will update to release.
Yes select none in beta
