Weill be considering this IF I smith in the Aserai campaign - I MAY smith as an emergency saving device if we're getting overwhelmed... Pretty sick dude!
Thanks for taking a look man. Blacksmithing is too good to ignore. Great weapons, over leveling weapon skills and three extra attribute points? I don't know how anyone turns their nose to that.
@@angrygoldfish9607 Mostly the time taken. Three hours? Six? I cannot remember how long it took me, and maybe it was inefficient, as I was an amateur, but it was painfully slow to me the first time I did it... Maybe you can change my mind and I'll add it to the campaign...
thats pretty good, i usually do the weapon almost the same, but i make stick the longest possible and use it on horse 2 handed, then it reaches riders on horses in front of me
Thanks, yeah this one is mostly meant to be used on foot but with some practice it's great on horseback too. What is the swing speed of your long version?
Nice one, I mainly use my polearm from horseback though, haven't leveled athletics yet. How do you have so many crafting materials available, and without being encumbered?
Well, I can't recommend leveling athletics to 330 enough. It nets you 80 extra health just in the final perk alone, 160 if you raise a clan member right and make them your new main character. Especially if you are already spending the attribute points in endurance to level riding. I've been playing this campaign for more than 100 game years at this point. Saving all t5 and t6 swords I get and smelting them. At my peak I had a clan of 86 clan members, every one of them having at least 250 blacksmithing. What makes you think I wasn't encumbered? I keep all of my crafting materials in the same city. When I'm done smithing I put them in my city stash. Good questions and thanks for watching.
@@angrygoldfish9607 thanks for the tips, i'm doing a horse archer/polearm build,so I havent gotten around to it yet, but I'll need to for when I start sieging I'm sure lol. and that's wild, youre a machine😂
Yes, but if one of those two people block... you kill 0 people in one swing. With this you can kill people even when they block you. That's very strong.
There are, several of them. I chose this haft to keep the weapon short while keeping the tier of the part high enough that the item could be legendary. I wanted it short so that it would be a viable weapon to use on foot.
In my campaign, i am almoat entirely using a Glaive. Well I made some glaives of my own, Masterwork Glaives at that, gave one to every companion and family member. With the use of a mod, I can have higher skill limit (I put it up to 500, with 0.5x learn as minimum) and added a slash through mod. It is honestly the most satisfying thing in the game, going in and slashing through so many troops at once. If you want to try Glaive, either find one or use the following parts : Glaive head (mid size), Black tail thing (either leave at mid or change it slightly), hardened oak shaft (mid size) and either nothing or any bottom part that doesn't change stat.
@angrygoldfish9607 although I made a small change in my glaive recipe so that I can actually craft legendary versions of it. Same with the fast axe I used, just changed 1 part to T5 so that I can make legendary. Because as you probably know, in order to be able to craft masterwork and/or legendary weapons, the average tier of parts must meet a minimum threshold (4.5 for legen and 3.5 for masterwork). I only recently learned this after it looked it up 😂 my character in game makes great use of these weapons, he is a literal killing machine.
Doesn't it make you kinda sad when you watch people play this game and they're not even trying to optimize their combat experience? They're like "I'm gonna put all my attribute points in social instead" and I'm thinking, well for one it's great that the game accommodates all kinds of players but... they'll never know the joy that is being a devastatingly destructive force on their battlefields. I'm glad you're optimizing and enjoying the game for all it has to offer.
@@angrygoldfish9607 in my first playthrough, my character was focused around having high social, intelligence and bow skills. I saw myself struggling in combat a bit at that time. This time, my character is way too overpowered with all of these combat skills. Because I had this mod (XP.tweaks) and raised cap to 500, my guy has 260 one handed, 320 two handed, 460 polearm (lol), 500 riding, 300 throwing, 260 bow 180 crossbow, 330 smith... Because these skills are so high, my battle influence is also crazy high. One thing I can tell with these high skills is that the riding becomes very overpowered. The "way of the saddle" perk increases charge damage with skill level so that means with 500 riding, I do +75 damage with rams
I know, if you've watched my video "how to optimize your character in Bannerlord" you'll know you can get 450 riding without the use of mods. Riding, for me, is the least fun of the over levelable skills because it is kinda broken. I don't like using mods because they rarely balance the game. I like dominating a battlefield but I like to feel like I earned it. I did the same in my first playthrough. I leveled social and bow skill thanks to the advice of well meaning TH-camrs. That's a lot of the reason why I started making my own videos.
That's very true but it's better to drop it because putting it on your back takes time. Having a shield also weighs you down even if it's on your back. It's much better to be able to move more quickly so you can stay out ahead of your enemies landing shots through their blocks. There is the rare occasion that I will hang onto my shield. If I'm facing a ton of archers for instance. But even then, the battlefield is littered with shields usually and you can just pick up a new one or just keep the enemy melee between you and their archers. They act as a pretty good shield themselves. Anyway, thanks for watching the video.
I always seem to find myself going back to it, there really isnt that many warfare games with the same amount of personal customization Mount & Blade provides. I always eventually get bored after a long playthrough, and yet I always find myself going back to it. Despite it's rough states, its really a great game when you plan everything out
@@rogerhill9559 I agree while there are some great warband mods like Prophesy of Pendor or Perisno, I think Bannerlord improved upon somethings graphically and immersion-wise, they also improved the quality of life for some features that were in Warband unfortunately they also took out other things like the feast feature and stuff
The crush thru attacks are the best thanks for experimenting with blacksmithing, ur the goat
Thank you! I really appreciate your support.

@@angrygoldfish9607 idk but it swings like 2 times per 3s
Very nice
badass halberd, glad people still find cool things in this game
Thank you! I'm glad people are still looking for cool things in this game. Thanks for watching.
Thats freaking awesome! Thanks for the info.
can't wait to try this!
Thanks guys. You won't be disappointed.
This also my favorite but preference is 170 reach while 2h on horseback + Coach strike is funny with instant recharge of strike.
Gotta love a game that lets people play it the way they like. Thanks for watching.
Looks like a bit of fun to use, I'll try it for that alone. Cheers man.
You bet! I'd love to hear what you think of it.

Now i just gotta unlock all the parts
If you watch episode 14 of the Black Lion Origins Campaign it should help you get the parts.
Will try, thanks.
Thank you! I'd love to hear what you think of it.
With two handed axe you can slash 2 person in 1 slash
Yes, but if one of those two people block... you kill 0 people in one swing. With this you can kill people even when they block you. That's very strong.
Isn't there a specific shaft you can use to give it a couch lance option too?
There are, several of them. I chose this haft to keep the weapon short while keeping the tier of the part high enough that the item could be legendary.
I wanted it short so that it would be a viable weapon to use on foot.

When i try to make it, its only usable with both hands
You may be using the wrong haft for the build. What is the length of your halberd?
It should only be 120 units long.
@@angrygoldfish9607 mine is 108 :D
That's very interesting. Which haft did you use?
The same exact one in the video
Theres also a hot key to put your shield on your back so you don't have to drop it.
