Edit: For leveling companions, set up controlled encounters. For example, say you want your companions to level bow. Find some forest bandits and make a shield wall. Place your companions slightly behind and offset. Then the shield wall will soak up the bandits' arrows while your companions gain XP. Desert bandit hideouts work best for this. Sell at the higher price and move on to the next city. Start selling at Chaikand, and work your way north. Bring Furs back south. After a few runs the prices will start to even out, and you'll have to find a new trade route, but apply the same principles. By that time your Trade skill should be up around 50+. The only problem is, they're kinda slow to level. So given the way leveling works, I'm wondering if there's an ideal set of skills to level up with a new build. Right now, I'm thinking of this combination; - Polearm and 2-handed: these fit together really well, you're leveling 2 skills simultaneously here. Why is it more legit to steal 10 Aserai horses and make $14000 at lvl 1, than to do smithing orders and work your way up, sometimes getting $1500 order. Yeah I mean at like level 20 you can unlock lvl 5 smithing parts and sell $20-30K swords but that takes a freakin while. Arguably much longer than walking to Askar and on to Ocshall. The least effort way to level it that I have found is simply selling tons of food to a town after it's been in a siege. They will be screaming for food, and everything will be 'red', etc. huge trade XP, but a little sporadic. Otherwise, there is really no way around the going around to cities buying low, selling high. 2. Find a town with very low prosperity. Ideally less than 2k but even lower is better. Go here and sell all your goods, again without paying attention to price. Leave the trade screen. Youve just flooded the market in this tiny town so now you can go back into the trade screen and purchase some extremely cheap goods. Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord continues a decent Trade level will start to really save money and keep the bank account flowing much more freely. The best place to set up a workshop is a Bannerlord, like Skyrim, Warband, and hundreds of other PC games is HIGHLY moddable, and we as a playerbase are going to leverage the fact that the developers were gracious enough to include that feature, a feature that is slowly getting harder to find because I think most devs these days are like you seem to be and think modding is a bad thing. Apparently you don’t take a hit to your trade points for the initial massive loss, but you get skill points for the profits. Haven’t tried it though - I just grinded it out by running big caravan style trade routes. 1. Teldrean. eyWb3w.
