Haha, Flesson19 the warlord of exploits :)

@@Diarmuhnd I can't take credit for this one though.

Does this work on console ?

@ZtoA thank u so much I was watching it on my break and was not sure if it was for the version

You say 1.02 at the end but thetitleis1.13

Especially since they broke selling horses.

I dont grind it really. What I do is I just wait a short bit for prices to start stabilizing a bit. Then I go buy a bunch of wood and fur from battania and then take it down go askar. I sell the wood and fur along the way. I buy mules and horses that should be enough go get 25 horses and 12 mules for full speed bonus for my early party. Now you can buy 100 of something that's a really good deal and then sell it along the way to wherever you're going next. Then I buy a bunch of something there and sell it and any leftover other stuff along the way. You can find good deals just by hovering over the prices before you even get any trading skill levels. It takes almost no effort to get to the point the colors are right there in your face in a town then you just fill up your inventory 3/4 of the way and everytime you go in a city you sell green on the right side and buy green on the left side. You'll always be profitable and thus always getting xp and more gold. Just do this in addition to whatever you're doing. It's free money and free xp and you were already going there. Don't grind. Optimize

You're very welcome

yes awesome strategy

@@Flesson19 And when you buy back over 10.000 from city there is perk from Trade to boost relations with Merchants unlocking recruitment slots and chance that will support you in future with 0.1 influence per day. So you can improve notables relations manualy instead of doing quests or running caravan with Perk for random chance. (Hope that they will fix all glitches in future and rebalance crafting. Regular orders are up to 100.000 and crafted items with 1 steel polearm with throwing perk worth 10.000+ by 160dificulty) only legendary items should get high profit rewards over 10.000. Example for crafted item with 1pcs of steel spend equal weapon tire 4. Cracked 1000, Bent 1500, regular 2000, balanced 3000, MasterCraft 5000 legendary 10.000. Or is needed to change the smelting rewards from dagger and throwing knifes under 500 to get only 1 peace of material. Rusty = nothing. Cracked = crude iron. Bent/Regular= wrought iron. Balanced = iron. MasterCraft = steel. Legendary = fine steel and to fallow item tire. Tire 1 made with crude iron. Tire 2 wrough iron. Tire 3 iron. Tire 4 steel. Tire 5 fine steel. Tire 6 thamasken steel. And limit stockpile of this items. 1pcs with Smithy daily and stockpile limit and weapon tire related to prosperity town. And in town higher rank unit will spawn only when tire weapon is available and it should consume 1 weapon from town stock when recruited. 4 tire troop will consume 4 tire weapon and for archers workshops to recruit depends on town prosperity. Makes the town more strategic build focus to run 2smithy and 1 workshop as recruit factory. If there is no workshop or Smith in town the AI will still be able to recruit higher tire units to prevent sabotage by player. Lord from clan lvl5 can recruit tire 5 units because he can also be a Smith or have a loot from battle.

thank you for the support and watching

thanks, I messed the first one up. I hope this explains everything perfectly

Awesome, I did it in 8 days but much harder now, 100 or less is great. Have fun

Exactly true and this has been in the game since early access started

@@Flesson19 I just discovered throwing knives and managed to increase my metal counts significantly. I was about a thousand wrought 2k iron and 500 steel when I wrote that. I'm sitting around 5k wrought at least, steel isn't much better though. No matter should still make it way faster.

@@SerLagsalot tribesmen throwing daggers I think your talking about, little more expensive than pugios nit the extra iron is awesome

@@Flesson19 Pugios have disappeared from the world for some reason... Did multiple circuits of the Imperial cities over 200 days and found 6 of them.

@@SerLagsalot not sure, maybe they lowered the production rate of them. I know I saw them in 1.2. I know daggers are more plentiful

You're Welcome

I got a vid that explains rate/limit and hard cap on my quick guides channel. People sometimes also confuse limit and rate. If your not 100% sure check it out or don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bcyfi9OIldTFgHk.html

they all work together and tied together. The only reason I mention steel was to keep it simple, you can use any metal to lower the price, something like 500-1k wrought iron to town might do it. You can couple this together with wood and charcoal also

I don't expect they ever will fix it even though they have a mechanic in the game that can do it

Thank you

yeah and so easy for them to stop. It could be done with a mechanic in the game, they just wont do it and been in since the start 3 years ago. so honestly is it an exploit?

I tried to see how high I could get once but stopped at 42, got so bored doing this over and over

I have done it and getting to the mid 30's isnt too bad but 40 was a pain. You need thousands of each metal to get great xp but not using many, yes you can power level decently since you gain character xp even if trade is hard capped

I like to do bandit hideouts with my companions. Also, you can make a group of companions only on the battle field to kill looter grpups.

if you dont mind it slowing you down, as you progress steward is great. I got a vide on the guides channel I havent moved yet showing how much xp it gives

I do agree as I think it is a mechanic, its like buying all products at a store and selling in the world for a mark up as the supply is lower vs demand. Kind of how video cards were. However most get on me for saying that so I just called it that. But it's mechanic thats been it he game since day 1 of early access to I 1000% agree with you

Awesome

@Flesson19 with 8 attributes and 5 skills in trade, like you said! But I had over a 1000 in both steel and fine steel 😅

@@chibidakis1 right the longer you spend getting g materials the quicker the trade part is. Also an FYI..u can keep trading after 300 and still get character xp for levels even when trade is red hard capped

I love trading

I think it would but not by a ton to justify spending that much on them and waiting as you want to do it as soon as possible while prices are high

@@Flesson19 Ah I see so doing it midway through my current campaign would not yield the same results you got or at the very least it would have diminished returns, is that correct or am I totally off base here?

@@HypnoticChronic1 you want to find a spot where the prices are high for metals. Anyplace will work as you when you sell the steel it drives the price down, but the more expensive its worth the more xp youll get each time. Sometimes you just need to visit a few shops and see what they are paying for lets say 1 fine steel and see who is paying most and that will be the town to do it in

@@Flesson19 That makes sense, I ironically still ended up Sanala anyways because of the price. Thanks again for taking the time to answer me and if I could pick your brain on one more topic despite it being unrelated to trade I'd appreciate, as I cannot find any consistent and or credible source elsewhere. I'm currently in vassalage to the Southern Empire (both other imperial factions have lost all their holdings which we control) however, our AI keeps declaring war back to back with barely anytime to breath in between, thus we get engaged in a war then 2 other factions (typically Vlandia and Aserai) jump in and we end up having to fight a 3 front war across nearly the whole breath of the map. All of my holdings are on the western side of the map (former Western/Northern empire starting areas) so I am right in the center of the crosshairs and am unable to cover the whole breath of the area alone (friendly AI are not exactly helpful/useful), so my question to you is (if you can help) is either how do I stop my faction from continuously declaring war nonstop and or how do I prevent a war from turning into a multi front war with multiple factions? I would really appreciate any insight and or tips you can give, as I am still pretty wet behind the ears when it comes to comprehending the totality of this game.

@@HypnoticChronic1 if you have a lot of vassals there is nothing you can do. The key earlier in the game is to have a few vassals or even companion clans. With less than 10 and the policy reducing your cost to override them you can dictate wars and peace. I have 100% reduced escape chance for prisoners, so I hold them all hostage so when or if I wat to peace out, they pay me. It's the price you pay, more vassals they decide what to do, less vassals and not as powerful but you can decide. For me, until I have about 10 holdings I dont go crazy getting vassals so I control the action.

Woot, not everyone gets the process, happy for ya

from hat I hear not before the 14th, and maybe a hotfix, but I would assume around mid to late this month I think we will see 1.2

if the price works out, thats what the town does. The caravan price are associated with the town. When you sell the steel the price of the caravan lowers. your using the town to adjust the caravan prices which is why it works. I know it can be complicated and you can sell to other towns but you can manipulate it so much easier with a single town and caravan

O.K. So the caravan and the city are connected in that moment. BUT! Why does the price not drop back to my original selling price, when I sell high numbers to one city or caravan? Why the separation? Selling and buying metals with the caravan and trading steel with the city! Why?

You can do it so tou lose nothing, it all depends on how fast you want to be done and I tried to keep the guide super simple but there are more ways to do it

@@Flesson19 yes I didn’t understand till in practice but it did take me 3 hrs to max it out so thank you sir 🤠

@@Flesson19 I own 6 fiefs now 😂😂

@@LackNsee awesome job

if at the end of all the trading you would get a % of the profit it carries over 10k

your not trading enough materials, you're not driving the rice enough in town or dont have the points into social and trade

8 X 14 is 112 -10 is 102. 5 X 40 is 200. 200 + 102 is 302. I have a video with a graph that shows hard caps. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZhoepyrm5vGe2w.html

I can make it whit 6 in social?

@@germanroman7906 Must have 8 social and 5 trade to hit 300

@@Flesson19 no me la conteeeesssss

no because trade gives 50 cap per focus point and attribute 14 per point -10,if you only had 5 trade and 5 social then your cap would be 260, 6 social, 274, 7 social 288

谢谢

are you at your hard cap for the skill?

U do lose a little in the full process but depending on how many materials you use, you can get 300 in 5-60 minutes. I just tested it earlier this week. This way you do lose money each transaction but get 300 very fast

then you cant hit 300, that is minimum required unless you do something extreme like 1 huge trade which takes forever to get enough items to do it

Thanks for the quick response !

@@onealjones318 Thank you for watching

Hardwood/charcoal, also horses, my friend Hero covered them. Let me know of u want to see them

@@Flesson19 yes i'd like

@@FakiuChairo here is one, check his channelf or the other, he doesnt have many videos kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKlmrbibv9fdeWg.html

yes 8 social and 5 trade is 302 hard cap

Not sure what ya mean, as you do this no time should move. You just go in and out of town, game doesn't advance

@Flesson19 yeah i did the exploit sold my steel to the city tried selling my metal to the caravan but he just kept buying at extremely cheap prices and selling to me at extremely high prices

@@NotThatGuyDoes your doing the opposite, with no metal in town then sell all but steel to caravan. go into town and sell steel to drive price down, then buy from caravan at cheap price. Go back into town and buy your steel, now the price is high again to sell to caravan

@Flesson19 ohhh so i shouldve sold the metal first?

@@NotThatGuyDoes sell all but steel to caravan, then sell steel to town, but all your metal from caravan, the last buy steel back from town, rinse and repeat

I think it has to do with prices changing then. If that's what you're referring to

​@Flesson19 so I'm trying to understand the mechanic at play here. Is the caravan price getting pinned to the price in the city like the anchored settlement prices do?

@@kalan4787 right, the price of the caravans goods are determined by the town they are close to. Lowering the price of something in town will lower the price of the caravan for that good if it's near that town

Verified it works perfectly, you got points into trade, drive the price down in town to around 12 with steel?

yeah for times sake its how much you got is equal to time. Like my first run ever I did in 9 days, I has so little metal it took me around an hour to get 300 but with alot of it very quick

I cant think of a way since its, very hard to make a profit doing it, would need all the perks and even then it wouldn't be much

I just checked it a month or so ago and worked fine

@@Flesson19 thanks G!

I do now, this is an older video when I wasn't. All my guides from the last month -2 months are scripted

Do you have 8 into social and 5 into trade?

do you have points into trade and social or are you giving enough metal to the town to drive the price down to 15-20?

I've tested it, even with 10 into social it takes me around 700-800 days to get 300 with horse trading nerfed

yeah getting the parts takes awhile
