Question mainly about trading, really: right now I'm completely lost about where to buy and where to sell, I can't find any information about it. Only thing I manage to find so far is to check villages assigned to city and check their main production. But then I see more then once that village or city with corresponding village sells their products at higher cost then some completely unrelated Here are some of the best things to do when not at war in Bannerlord: Make money. Improve relations with villages and notable NPCs in settlements. Improve relations with lords and ladies you might wish to recruit in the future. Recruit and train new companions for clan roles. Recruit and train new troops for party and garrisons. How to use the guide. The values represents the value of the swords crafted with that specific part. Meaning, that in each craft, 3 of the following parts were used, with the 4th one being changed to one from one of the tables: Ridged Short Kaskara Blade. Tapered Desert Guard. The workshops seem to ramp up when prosperity of a town increases. It is awfully slow though. Be mindful though not to purchase workshops in cities outside your own realm and safety zone. Once you are at war and your workshop is in an enemies town your workshop is confiscated and lost. #1. Look at what the bonded nearby settlements produce for that city. If you see 2 towns under that city's domain produce Olives, build an Olive press. Grain, make a Brewery. Use the resources produced by the towns, because it will be cheaper for your workshop to purchase the raw goods. I know it’s still in Beta and might change somewhat but I cannot figure out how to make workshops profitable in towns with medium level prosperity. I have one Olive Press in Jaculan (5000-6000 prosp.) making 250 a day but my 4 other workshops, breweries in Pravend, Rovalt, Varcheg and Omor (3000-4000 props.) are shite. There's a couple things you need to do first. 1 is make sure you have a govener lined up (must be same faction) because the town is going to be in rough shape after the siege. 2 is make friends with all surrounding factions. 3 is set up caravans ASAP to help your town grow. Here's what I did. The crafting system in Bannerlord is somewhat limited when compared with other RPGs, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t lucrative. Although it focuses only on the production of weapons, smithing in Bannerlord allows you to craft them from relatively cheap materials, and then sell them for a much greater profit. co1MiM5.
