Didn't know this game had such economy lol. My income was from killing bandits and looters and sell their items in a city. Lmao

ESO is teaching how capitalism works in the english way and i love it.

also another tip, dont sell weapons, break them down in the smithy and then sell that material you get from it to make double to triple the value of the item.

Simplet still: make brewery where you see lots of grain for

The list for those to lazy to copy it them selves, also for the rest sins i bothered to copy any way. Buy Sell Beer 30-31 60-80 Cheese 18-28 50-90 Butter 12-18 40-80 Clay 9-11 21-35 Cotton 40-95 120-150 Dates 17-39 70-120 Flax 9-10 20-25 Fish 6-14 19-23 Grain 8-9 don't buy Grapes 17-18 30-60 Hardwood 10-11 30-35 Hides 24-35 70-110 Iron ore 30-40 60-80 Leather 88 100-168 Linen 24-30 50-80 Meat 12-17 30-50 Olives 16-22 40-80 Oil 40-50 80-130 Pottery 30 50-120 Salt 21-22 50-100 Silver 60-90 100-230 Tools 30-40 60-80 Wool 17-26 60-130 Wine 30-50 70-150

This explains why price gouging is actually a good thing to get needed materials to an area.

I've been playing this game non stop thank you for your in depth explainations! I'm loving the content thank you! You're the only one who explained how the market works correctly!

this in my opinion is the BEST workshop guide on the internet. this breaks the workshop mechanics down perfectly, and I learned SO MUCH! THANK YOU for this well down turtorial.

Just bought my first workshop: an olive oil one in a city with 2 olive villages nearby and no competition in the city. Thanks for the tips ESO!

A pottery works really well in Vostrum made me 700-800 gold when I had it before I made my own faction. Pay attention more to how many of the raw materials the shop gets and how cheap it is and how expensive the final item sells for. Vostrum had two villages that produced grain for beer in the city, while there are no clay villages for pottery yet my pottery shop made 400 more gold than the brewery.

Was about to buy a workshop but I'm so glad I waited now. You da best man

Another thing I found is if you enter a settlement and check in the upper left to see how much “Goods to market” they have preferably +6 and then follow this video you’ll see that workshop make 350+ without tending to it. I made a brewery in one of the Empire cities (can’t remember, doesn’t matter) it had 2 wheat fields making grain and the settlement had a super high prosperity with a +7 goods to market. Just something that worked for me if you want to take the extra step and double check/try out.

If you want high profit, don't make Breweries, they tend to use grain , even if the city has a high suplus of grain, if a war starts and nearby villages/city get raided or sieged, the citizens will use all grain and your production will be damaged. After you open the city painel, look up on the 3 city's workshops to check what there is already, in case the city produces a lot of hardwood and there is one wood workshop already, go and buy it, or for example, if a city and nearby villages have a production of 50+ Clay, you can absolutely go for a pottery , try to aim for luxury itens since they are not too much affected by sieges or raids and are more dependent on caravans and villagers travelling around. I have 5 Potteries around the map, each making 500+ gold a day, and that's after the bug fix.

I swear this man is responsible for all my knowledge

Interesting as I made or actually I just bought an existing Wood Workshop in the Sturdian town and it was giving me like 20 dinars or something. Ill look around the area and the market to see what things are actually in abundance. Thanks for the video as always! I cant get enough of this game! It has been a long time coming! hahaha!

Concise & easy to follow explanation. Thank you - I've been really intrigued about the different economic dynamics this game has. Heard about one involving smelting gear down to its raw materials & selling them for far greater sums than that of the gear itself.

Hi ESO, You're a legend, just wanted to remind you.

Used your graph to make my first 20k gold, now im a vassal of the horse boys with 350 k in the bank! I noticed the chart is missing a few goods but is still super helpful. Something I noticed is the cheap prices were only ever villages. Towns never really got that low in terms of buy price. Also if a town is linked to a village it is usually well stocked in whatever those villages produce.

Thanks for yet another great video! I've got to disagree on the "never have more than one workshop in the same town"-statement. Another factor for deciding what kind of workshop to build, is what there is a lack of in the world in general. In my game, I discovered that pottery was crazy expensive everywhere, since there were only pottery workshops in towns who had no easy access to clay. I found a town with a large amount of clay, and actually ended up building three pottery workshops there. Because the demand world wide was high enough, they ended up earning me more money, than e.g. a smithy in a town with easy access to iron, or a woodshop in a town with easy access to hardwood did. My first potter made around 600 a day. When I build two, they ended up earning around 400 each. Once I build the third one, they all earned around 350 each.

Subbed. Precise, clearly presented and thought out guide.

Best Bannerlord videos on youtube. Thanks for your work my man.

Mate you doing a good job with your videos it helped me a lot. Clearly explained the depth of the game with all the factors that matters ;-)

As of patch 1.10 buying a smithy in Marunath has always gotten me at least 200+ income. Pen Cannoc in most games always has 3 clay villages and as long as if Batania isnt being gang banged then it'll net you around 200 - 450 denars from my experince. Another good spot is Jacculan if the Vlandians are doing good, they usually got 2-3 villages producing olives so get a olive press for 150-250 denars. One more I typically like to go for is Sanala or Askar, they usually got grain in abudance and either one or both in your game if your lucky will have lots of grain and net around 250+ a week with a brewery.

Just so you guys know a pot workship will earn you maximum 850 a day and average 450 a day in the cities with high prosperity, which is really profitable. Pot bank is the dominator among the other workshops:).

One tip with towns is ins tr rad of taking a walk around. Instead look who's in the town and talk with one of the npcs who either owns the workshop or bear it. Saving you a lot of walking time.

Great video. I learnt a lot and notice I commit big mistakes with my workshops. Thanks

Awesome videos as always! I'm looking forward to your Caravan video!

You've explained a lot soo well! Gonna be subbing because I can tell ill need your help xD

Blessed are the cheesemakers. Your guides have made my character rich enough to have lots of good horsebois. Personal tip: Old workhorses are made of 2 meat each and are dirt cheap. He he he.

Loving the videos and I finally got my own game to let me get passed the tutorial it was buged and wouldn't even let me walk if I got off my horse. But it's good now.

I appreciate the tutorial. This helped!

This was really helpful. Thank you.

Just gotto the Inn and the patrons will tell you what to buy and is doing very well, for example in my city I purchased a pottery workshop yet no villages making clay suppling the town yet the pottery workshop made me approx. 500g, because I was advised to by it from the patrons.

Keep up the great work man

WOOOW Throwing shade at spiff right out of the gate!!! HAHAHA love it.

good job dude that was actually usefull af thx

This guide was elite thanks mate! No longer going broke :D

i dont know why im watching this with 1.06m denars in the bank

couple things to note, always buy workshops in cities that you will never end up in war with. found out the hard way as i was a vassal to Aserai and they went to war with Battania, which i had bought a workshop in one Battanian city, it was immediately lost even though i did not start the war, so build your workshops in cities that you will always be allied with, either because it is your kingdom or one that you will always be a vassal of or at least allied to. Also, you can control the market further by going around and buying up whatever resource your workshop makes and coming back and dumping it onto the city your workshop is located in. for some reason and this is probably broken, the workshop will start turning mad profit. it sent me from 6k to like 600k in a matter of days, with a daily income of around 12-16k every day from just two wood workshops, no joke. i only had to dump hardwood into the city just the initial one time and that was it, off to the races. workshops are definitely key to making large sums of money. i hadn't even hit clan tier 2 yet and money is no longer even an issue, i can buy everything i want, outfit all my companions in top gear and horse armor and still have plenty of money left to buy tons of horses and food. like i said probably broken but pretty satisfying nonetheless to be such a small fish in the game but be filthy rich already. another thing i do is disregard the troop limit, even though it constantly warns about being slow and men deserting. literally only a cpl leave a day and it doesn't slow enough to be a problem, so im always fielding a larger army than im allowed but the extra men still fight in the battles so i buy them up every stop and keep way over the max limit. there really isnt much of a downside.

Thank you my man i love your videos thay have helped me so much.. are you able to do a video on troop cost and what's the best ay to lower you troop cost.

Thank you for the video!

Quality content, i like this.

Hey just a quick tip. When trading items Left-Shift moves 5 of an item while Right-Shift moves the whole stack. It only works on items, not prisoners or troops, but you can for example hold Right-Shift and press Left Click on the arrow and you will buy all 500 of the town's grain supply. It's handy when doing mass trading with stacks of 500+ of trade goods.

Thanks, great stuff....I need to learn about caravans next.

Got a follow-up strategy to that for making money. Bit later in the game but works perfectly. Can't be member of faction tho and need to have a decent army around 100 units. Can be tricky to pull off so create a backup save. Also the trait from trading with 15% less barter peanalty helps. 1) Wait for 2 kingdoms to go to war 2) Find recently taken over castle or town (will have a lot less defenders). 3) Raid a village to start a war with the faction holding the fief you wanna get. 3) Siege and pray so the massive army doesn't screw you up. 4) Take a castle/town. 5) Find some noble from this faction 6) Pay some money to make peace. 7) You just got yourself a fief that will take 10-20 days to repay you costs of the peace treaty. 8) Rinse and repeat. 9) Profit.

There are cities that have 3 villages that provide extremely cheap local goods for good AFK workshop profit. The cities are Askar down south-east for brewery from grain then the second best is Weavery in Balthakan that turns sheep into wool and the last one is Jaculan for Oil press that turns olives into oil. You get number of workshops equal to clan level+1. So later on for fourth workshop I would recommend smithy as it produces higher level armor and weapons - such as horse armor and similar and passive income is not as important then and there.

Just in time mate. Had some workshops struggling.

Hi ESO, you are making a brilliant achievement! thank you for that! btw, would you recommend adding trade skills regarding earning better money?

Mate, thank you so much 👍🏻👍🏻

I hunted Tournaments until I had at least the 15k, then watched this video. Because of my playstyle, I need every single companion with me, so caravans would do the trick for me. This guide was very helpful.

as long as the current patch doesn't change anything, Seonon always sells cheap iron ore and Lycaron always dries it. so open up the smith shop in Lycaron and sell ores from Seonon might be a good combo I think.

Watched a few of your videos, they're very informative & carry on with these great videos. I have been wondering, how do you check the limit of workshops you can own as it seems I have reached the max amount of workshops I can own.

When in the trade, mouse over the hand with the hammer to show both the current shops, and the attached villages production.

Thanks for the advise. This game does help u much. Every thing more difficult on console

Hey @ESO, thanks for the vids. Where might I find the trading graph?

You don't need to go to the villages or towns to know. Search the village in the Encyclopedia (press N) and read the description: Some villages say: the group in mud but it provides work in pottery I bought a pottery shop and it gives an easy 500 gold per day

very nice tutorial thanks for explanation :)

Why did 1 person dislike?? They must be dumb, because ESO is the best youtuber.

Could u please make a video about smithing in this game? And which companion or type of companion to hire so that we can get maximum smithing level. Or we can nuture him/her as a personal blacksmith? Currently this system is pain in the ass. Keep up the good work.

I made a wood workshop in Ortysia and started manually buying log from Battania and then sell it to Otysia. That way Otysia could sell to the desert skipping Battania as a middlemanXD

Pen cannoc is great as its three towns produce clay

Very helpful sir :D

a "supply workshops" option for Caravans would be great^^

The thing is in 2 games I had a ws in marunath and I tried every kind of ws and pottery was 2 times the best. Woodcuter earned around 150 Smith around 200 and pottery around 350

very useful thank you

all shop cost in any city are the same per city... so a wood shop cost 13,450 then the smithy will also cost 13450.. and the more settlements in the general area the more the shops will cost to buy in general .

Thanks again!

I think in the past (before they made changes) Woodshops were the absolute best workshops. But now some sort of economy system is in place the workshop actually "eats" the resource to make money so it is important to build a workshop in a City that is A: is prosperous and B: has villages with that resource. So far I've been having success finding Cities with villages that produce Grain and then building a Brewery. There is also a small trick you can do, which is build a workshop in a city that doesnt produce that resource. It will make the resource "scarce" in the city, and while you will get minimal income from the workshop itself you can make a killing via trade. Example I made a workshop in Vostrum which doesnt have a wood village. After some time the city ran out of wood and it started selling for 40-50 gold. I then buy hardwood all over the map for like 13-18 gold each. I got 12k capacity by then so I filled up on hard wood and sold it for massive profit. Since there was an influx of wood the workshop also became extremely profitable for a few days and when the income goes small again I kmow thats the time to sell more wood. Making that artificial demand is also how I raised my trading skill.

I figured this out by plaing - btw, i've NEVER figued things out by playing, video games do not follow common world knowledge. Good vid ESO

Eso, I hope you are doing well right now

You forget to mention, to change a workshop currently version e1.0.7 cost 2000 gold each time. PS: If you're at war, or your faction declares war where your workshop allocated, your workshop lost for forever. Workshop in the most eastern/western side it seems the cheapest to buy around 13000 gold, while with empire/imperial culture cost around 15000 gold.

There is an easier way of seeing what the town produces / what materials they get from the villages: just hover over the hammer symbol (right above "Name" @ trade menu)

If you pay attention to the color (Red for high, Green for low) of the prices on the tooltip, you can avoid a chart. Buy things with Green (at least 25% cheaper than average) and sell with Red, and you can basically guarantee a profit. If you see non colored prices, its average, which you can sell or buy, but won't make as much as you would off Green / Reds. Also remember that the Prices are 'live' and if you see a sell price of xxx - xxx listed on the tooltip, it means that the price will change as you buy / sell the good. If they realllly have a need for something, you might see over 100% of average price, but it will usually drop as you sell them. And, animals (and horses) can become food in an emergency.

I tried a tactic where all of the party was just high level archers and a few cavlalry then run circles around then while the archers take them dozen by dozen...... works well on smaller armies that have less archers then your party..... behind the lines attack on enemy lords while they try to gather troops for battle.... all the while your lords are besieging castles.... like a sneaky assassin build

Can we destroy a city's economy by buying all workshops and setting them up for unrelated garbage and then declaring war ?

Good video 👍

Hey ESO, I love your content and it's inspired me to make my own, so any advice on how to get more views and subs? What kind of microphone do you use? Thanks and keep up the amazing work ESO! 💜

Right click on the city name. Look at its prosperity level and take notice of the villages attached to the city. Low prosperity levels means low trade which equals less money being made from your workshop. Afterwards, look at the villages attached to the city and see what they are producing. Use that info to make a decision on what work shop to purchase. I promise this works. My shops make between 250 and 450 on average.

@ESO you are playing a amazing game its so good to watch and learn from you! best videos mount and blade banner lord keep up the good videos.......... thank god you dont got to review $15 hourse armor for skyrim anymore XD LOL

Buy fur north of Omor, theres like three villages nearby that sells it really cheap and sell it in Quyaz and Ortysia. U can more than dubble that shit but the catch is that the demand is quite elastic.

War is bad for workshops, not only sieges but looting the supply villages. Be prepared to liquidate your investments if the situation changes. I tried the build a silver workshop and supply ore yourself thing, but found it was hard work (better things to spend the time on) and the workshop didn't really perform well... The best I've had is cities with cheap iron and buy/make smithies. Weapons always sell well. Find places that have cheap supply and good demand for the chain you want, and they will churn away with little intervention (except checking for wars). There are a lot of cities with high grain supply, which says brewery. Which can be awesome, however you'll find several places where there are many cities with grain and breweries near each other, making it bad. So a brewery in the right place is really good, a brewery in the wrong place is mediocre despite having cheap supply. Not sure if this will stay the same, but if you buy a workshop, change it's production and then sell it again, it will stay as the new production type. You can use this to tune your own cities to be more profitable, enemy cities to be less profitable and/or food issues or generally tune the economy more to your liking. I.E create better supply/demands

I think that things like relationship with the city and influence with the faction improve the income from the workshop. Testing that in these days. Can someone confirm my theory?

This is so much deeper and better than Warband's economy already. I'm loving it! Great video and great advice!

am ngl mate I've been using most of your vids for help thx

nice methode but it is a shame we can't choose to do the silver transfert with a caravan on our own

Have you tried to test with workshops and caravans in conjunction? do your workshops improve if you have a caravan leading out from that same city?

I'm new to the game and I'm still learning how everything works and your guides have helped me a lot but my question is. if two kingdoms are at war, would it be wise to buy say a blacksmith deep in the winning kingdoms territory since they are in need of weapons? I'm currently working as a mercenary for the mongels and the city I met my wife in is deep in their territory so I figured might as well buy a blacksmith there?

I have found what the bound villages produce does not seem to matter Askar for example has two bound villages that produce grain. So logic would state a brewery would make good profits however this has not been the case, I setup a brewery there and after many weeks it was still making less than 100 per day. This has also been true using the same logic in other towns and yet i have set up workshops like a pottery shop in pravend that was making me anywhere between 300-500 per day.

In my game I tried the wood workshops and they were barely breaking even, turns out pottery works really well. Experiment on which shop works in your game.

You forget one thing with the silver profit margin. It costs you to transport it. Both salary and time. as time = money Don´t forget them logistics ;)

Man this game amazing with this real time changing economy and stuff like that...i mean warband had a little bit of that but they improve a lot of that in this game...also i cant beleave this is a early access it look like a finished game thats pretty rare i think.

I really wish my computer was working. I've been waiting for this game with great anticipation. I'd even take a console release just to play this.

I have 3 workshops right now, a wood, brewery and silver smith and my income is 150-440 a day. I feel its nice, but its only enough to support a small 100ish army. Feel they capped it like that to force you into village control and what not. But ugh wish I could be alteast 700ish stable from 4 workshops.

now we need a raiding guide. honestly I love raiding with my mobile khuzait band.

Step 1: Go to the North/Sturgia part of the map Step 2: Buy all the cows/sheep/hogs/fish/cheese Step 3: Go to the South/Aserai part of the map Step 4: ........... Step 5: Profit

That pottery shop in Danustica you bought for the video is making me 400+ denars a day, And I was thinking it's low income, Dumped some clay in the city and it rised to +500 denars

With the jewellery example, would a caravan from silver producing village take away supply problems?

Hey, at 13:00 are you using the fling trainer for an in game speed hack? Because you were already on the faster time then I heard a little ding and stuff got faster.

@ESO can we Get a video on how to train up the charm skill fast as well as the trade and tactic skill?

I want to build a smithy but there are no primary steel ore production villages that are connected with the towns, do iron ores work instead of steel?
