Sir Radzig: "HENRY! There's rumors of you riding your horse around in circles for no reason, jumping in place for hours on end, and sneaking into every last person's house in Rattay to silently choke the shit out of them. JUST WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Henry: "Skill grinding M'lord."

Sharpen every weapon you sell. You'll get more money, and the maintenance XP

A few years late but, to train your bow, there's some sheep in Rattay around the area where you can practice with captain Bernard. You can kill the sheep over and over, just run into the city and come back and they respawn. I usually run to where the blacksmith is and back. Make sure to loot your arrows back from the sheep. You have to stay some distance from the sheep otherwise they run, so try to keep them all together its a lot easier. Not only does this level your bow, but also strength, vitality, agility, hunting and your main level. So you'll level up a bunch of stats at once. Also once you get your hunting up, there's a perk that makes wild animals less skittish and that makes this method even easier as you can now be right up close to the sheep. Lastly this is on ps4 so I don't know if it'll work on pc, Xbox.

Herbalism also has a Secret Perk. If you gather 100 Nettle you will gain the Resistance Perk which gives you Plus 2 Vitality. The Perks description says Poisonous plants or Nettle so it might work picking other plants besides it as well.

When training with Captain Bernard, get a long term room at the Inn east of the training grounds. As the Capt will beat you up severely you can go there to sleep & recover your health. Saves you a long trip through town or back down to the mill. Also learn to brew Marigold Potions and make a bunch of them. So you can heal back up without having to go to sleep. Repair all your equipped equipment after every fight and don't forget to check your horse's equipment also. You'll have to carry all the repair kits and as many as you can afford. Carry extras on your horse if you need the carry weight. Later in the game get rooms at all the Inns. Then when you're overburdened you only have to get to the nearest Inn to unload to your chest.

Hello Upper , if you jump several obstacles with your horse you can leveling horsemanship insanely fast!!

It’s fun to get drunk and fast travel. You just go somewhere random

A very good way to level up lockpicking is to go around town at night lockpicking people’s front doors. This is quite easy and the next night they will be all locked anyways so you can repeat over and over again. This can be your training ground.

VITALITY tip! Each jump grants 0.5 xp, even if it's cut short by an obstacles above henry. In Rattay, just inside the southeren entrance to the left you will find a Wash Through. The ones you use to clean yourself with. Walk into it and the wall behind it and spam space. You can empty your stamina bar as fast as you can click Space. Turbo jumping until you get that xp you want

If you care about your reputation, then go into bandit camps during night with a nightvision potion and pickpocket them before you stealth kill them. This is fairly easy when they sleep. Also with a horse if it goes wrong you can just run away(which you want to, cause you wont sneak in with your good armor, you will use black clothing only).

You can lock pick miller paychecks training box in rattay mill (not sure of his name) over and over. Pick lock - open chest - look away listen for door to close - repeat. Levels your sneak as well.

Just want to note, if you need to quickly level your maintenance, you can purposefully damage your weapon and then repair it without even leaving the grindstone, you still get xp for increasing the skill.

8:36 small tip there, there's a perk in the 'Speech' skill tree called Troubadour that makes it so bathwench is free! Bathwench service is AWESOME, it's basically the same as the "full service bath" (i.e. heals and cleans YOU up, and launders your clothes as well as saves the game) with the +2 Charisma effect afterward (the difference, for me at least, was 10g between full service and bathwench)...the troubadour skill makes it so it's completely FREE (afaik)...it's not TOO expensive to begin with, but making it FREE means i'm doing it WAY more often than before.

If you clear all the herbs in skalitz during the intro you can have lvl 17 herbalism before you start the game proper.

Jump up and down? Getting Oblivion flashbacks here...

This man deserves each and every one of our likes. He could have easily made each of these segments into a separate video and reaped the benefits from each one, like many other KZfaqrs would have "cough" ESO-Fallout Guides... Thank you sir, we appreciate you. Keep up the great videos 👍👍

Thanks for all the tips, I'm glad to see the Herbalism Skill get a mention as it has been really useful for me. One note on that, for the +2 Charisma boost, you need 30 units of any (tested on Poppy, Dandelion, Chamomile, Marigold, Verbanium, Sage, St John's Wart, and Nettle) herb in your inventory, Nettle is best as it weighs the least (0.1) for 3 pounds total weight. Hope that helps and saves confusion. Keep up the awesome videos, cheers.

so I was in Talmberg last night breaking in houses as usual waiting for the horse race tomorrow. i found a guard sleeping full armour(y'know, that's how they do back in the days) i used my max pick pocket skill to get 25 sec in his pants and found his inventory filled with weapons, shields, arrows, etc. i took all of them and pick pocket again. his inventory is refilled with more stuffs. i did it a couple times before it broke and break away in silence with almost overloaded hauls lol

About the drinking skill, if you’re trying to raise it quickly, I definitely recommend choosing to drink with Father Godwin during the Mysterious Ways quest (I recommend doing it anyways, it’s hilarious). I was level 2 in drinking, then after one night of debauchery with that man I was level 6.

Best way for Pickpocketing is, to take all stuff from the sleeping people near by the Lodgings (Taverns). There you rent a bed and save bevore you take there stuff

I found that one of the best ways to level up warfare, (weapon of your choice), defense, stealth, horsemanship, and maintenance in the SAME ACTIVITY. All that you need to do is begin clearing out the bandit camps Around rat today for Bernard. You will be able to get into fights, you can alternatively sneak up to the camp and spook the horses or poison them, collect any gear worth selling and collect the bandit ears as trophies. Doing this enough will unlock the same activity in Sasau where you will be paid 625 gold per each bandit year that you could bring him. So save all of your bandit ears for von Burg And I ended up with 13,000 gold at the end of about two hours of playing. You’ll be taking a lot of damage so bring or more kits and blacksmith kits to repair your items which will increase that skill. Looting the corpses in the final stages of this activity will give you plate armors and weapons that can be sold for over 1.5k each. I kept several myself. And in between all of this you need to be on your horse moving from target to target so your horsemanship will increase as well.

A really good way to level pickpocket. When you find one of the random instances where guards, cuman, or bandits are fighting and some people are tied up. If the person tied up is a cuman or bandit the guards do not care if you pickpocket then. Each one tends to have 3-5 items to take. Them being tied up makes it very easy to pickpocket then as well.

Playing this game for the first time now. 4k oled philips hue lighting, full klipsch home theater rtx 3080 all settings maxed out, good god i swear this is what skyrim looked like back in the day.. The sounds and the visuals are literally insane. The immersion.. getting the same feel i got from skyrim like 10 years ago that i never could replicate.

As others have mentioned hunting is by far the fastest and easiest money making method. In the woods to the west/northwest about 3/5 th of the way between Rattay and Vranik/Sasau is a boar hunting spot. There are two boar there. With decent bow and arrows you can one shot them and the amount of meat will overload your horse and possibly you depending how good a horse and saddle you have. Take this back to miller and cook it on the fire in the house. Then sell it at either the taverns or the meat merchant or grocer or regular merchants or miller in Rattay. 2 boars worth of cooked meat sell for over 3k. Just sell it all to one merchant to clean them out up rep and get them to have a larger cash pool when next you do it. because its so close and gives so much money and is easy i think its faster then other methods ive seen that involve risky stuff like robbing sword shops. Also the more you cook a type of meat the higher quality cooked goods you get from it and the more money it makes. Once a merchant replenishes there cash after a couple days you can make 3k+ in less then a few minutes doing this without any repercussions or risk or dealing in stolen goods since cooked meat doesn't count as stolen.

Easier strength training: go up the road from the Captain, punch cows for 4 hours. I gained a bunch of leveling in agility, strength, vitality, warfare, and hunting. Just punch cows.

One of my favorite methods is in the first village, pick every single flower. With these, you can buy a lot of good repair kits before the game really starts. In my opinion, you want to get the "Leg Day" pirk as early as possible so that whenever you are picking, you are getting a little strength at the same time. Because the str points are so low (1 point per pick), it makes sense to get it early so it is almost an after thought while you are playing through the game.

SO I WAS STASHING MY STOLEN GOODS ON A HILL because i was too heavy.. and then all my stolen shit i discarded.. rolled down the hill.

while training vitality with the jumping in place method, I’ve found if you keep your camera moving you can decrease the time between jumps by a good amount

For anyone coming later... you can train to lvl 17 herbalism in Skalitz during the prologue, just pick everything, and take "leg day" perk you're training your strength at the same time. (you can also sell the herbs there for money too)

As a person that uses a Pc, but also has a controller for certain things. Use a Keyboard and mouse for lockpicking. it is amazingly simple that way, but a serious pain in the ass with a controller.

I know I am late to the game but I wanted to point out vaulting over fences no longer works to train vitality however jumping still does and if you turn spin in a circle not fast but not slowly either while you jump you can jump much quicker and its even faster and better then vaulting over fenses was you can kind of fell out where the sweet spot is while you are spinning around in place and jumping to find where you can jump the fastest.

i live in a wagon down by the creek.

Early on u can rob all beggars in rattay at night time when they sleeping make like 400 gold in 1 night and get pickpocket to lvl 10 easy with no risk

Probably the single most useful how to video on the game, well done. Btw, to each his own, but for me the only way to play a game is to role play it. So yes, I might want to practice lockpicking on the miller's chest because you could do this 'in reality', but attacking an unkillable npc over and over to artificially raise my stats? Nope, ruins the game.

I know it's a little late to say this, but I find the lodgings east of Rattay the best for training stealth. You rent a room for 2 grochen, then at midnight, sneak into the surrounding barns and knock out the townspeople. There are 9-10 people there who you can knock out and train it.

lockpicking is easy, all you need is 100+ lockpicks and a decent stealth gear. After that all you need to do is to go around and unlock peoples houses at night, most village doors are very easy or easy. Once you've unlocked the doors, go in and wake up any person in the house and make them close the doors again. once they have gone back to sleep unlock all the doors again.. For hunting you can also level it by killing sheep, cows, horses, chickens and dogs with a bow.. doesn't have to be wild game. You can start leveling herbalism as soon as you start the game in the first village by picking nettles and they are very close to eachother.. For pickpocketing, just go in to a village and steal 1 item at the time from people when they are sleeping. Once you get high enough skill level you can do it with sleeping guards aswell. And for reading, according to 1 of its perks you can also level reading by reading shrines and graves stones.

For lock picking I found a chest that locks as soon as you pick it. It’s a very hard chest and it is in Rattay in the tower at the side of the church that is near the main square. I levelled lock picking up from level 11 to 13 in 5 minutes

Also if you pick collect about 2-300 nettles (herbs) which are actually poisonous, you’ll get +2 on vitality permanently

Best guide iv found on KZfaq just got the game love but lots to learn as I don't play these type of games.

ok, here's a goldmine of weapon level ups, break into the monastery after 11pm & be back out by 4am, go through the 1st floor door through the building on the right as you walk through the archway leading to the church under construction. The prior in the 2nd room you go through will be alone & asleep, knock him out while he's in bed & start attacking him over & over, he's immortal so cant be killed & if you knock him out in bed there'll be not witnesses or fines for doing so, nobody is near by so no one will hear & you'll get 10 levels in strength, agility, vitality, warfare & whatever weapon you use in just 1 night.

You can train lockpicking on the chest the Miller first introduces you to it on behind the Miller's house near Rattay. You pick it, open it, close it, walk around the corner and out of sight of it and go back. It's easy or very easy, but for the first 5-6 levels you can raise it much more quickly early on and with nearly zero chance of being caught.

There are NPCs giving pickpocket related quests (go to person X, retrieve something from their inventory, not necessarily by pickpocketing and returning to the quest giver) which each give 1+ to pickpocketing. I've found two so far, one in Rattay, one in Sasau.

Definitly going to save this video so i can come back to it later, this has helped me out a lot :D

More tips: Str: str based melee weapons and fight at any given opportunity (I recommend focusing on long swords as St. George's Sword is OP later on) Agi: agi based swords and bows and fight or poach at any given opportunity (gather arrows from bandits or the game, if possible get stats high enough for cuman bow - it has nice thread bars that help with aiming) Vit: sprint/jump/vault everywhere, general depletion of vitality bar (you can hold arrows and RMB to put them aside) Spe: use every possible speech option, question NPCs, haggle for lots of money (combine silver tongue with final offer - you can lower the haggle near to the minimum then settle for final offer), if possible trade with specialists ie. sell food to Inn keepers or game (once a bit spoiled and not 'stolen') to butchers, weapons to arms smiths etc. Def: wear heavy armor & shield and block/parry/absord lots of damage - it goes really fast by itself War: deal lots of dmg to humans by combat (stealth kills/KO doesn't count, game doesn't count) Any weapon: use any weapon and fight with it (for bows I recommend logs game in Ledechko, v. easy 50g every win) Alch: youtu .be/pZInG91VwvI I gave a comment there Drink: drink XD Herb: farm everything, neddles preferred as a hidden perk will give you +2 vit, most herbs on fields near monastery Horse: no fast travel, ride horses XD Hound: spam good boy dialogue - 20 minutes of keyboard bashing Hunt: poach - you get XP by killing and looting game separately Locks: find a guide xD remember to open every v. easy lock encountered Maintenance: sharpen swords before selling them, if possible buy or steal repair kits and waste them everywhere Pickpocket: spam Peszek to lvl 5, get crowd control & easy way out to make it easier, steal from sleeping beggars, you can steal multiple items at once by timer cost, later on you will love it: pay trainers for skill levels ie. 1,5k for masters and then take it back - huge amount of $ stolen = tons of XP Read: buy/steal books and open them, perform a quest for it, remember to get guides and study them to boots other skills Stealf: stealf xD if you are one of the AFK goofers you can clamp your W key somehow and sneak into a wall nearby enemies or in guarded areas - just go into a house and bump into a wall etc.

Thanks for this one too, you have further sparked my interest in this game. Great vid and informative. Stay Frosty.

If you find a fence with a roof over hang you can walk into the fence under the roof and spam jump there's one around the back of the Millers house in the village next to Talmberg, there's a nest in a tree across the dirt road from the spot 25x faster than jumping up and down

Two points: Level alchemy first! It makes everything else go from terrible to okay and it's an amazing way to get money. There's a station behind the Rattay apothecary. You can look at the recipes online. Second point: to level Alchemy, brew marigold decoctions in obscene numbers. They have so many good uses.

I have watched this before but i just appreciate this alot and come back to it from time to time.

How come there arent any videos on maxxxing all your weapon skills/StrVitAgi in the starting zone by smacking the unkillable Kunesh?

Lockpicking is easiest to level in Rattay because it has a lot of doors and chests of various levels. Take a few in-game nights (when people lock their doors and shops are closed) and go around opening every front door you can find - just be careful not to get spotted. If you're feeling risky you can go inside and start picking chests too.

I leveled herbalism to 15 or 16 in skall before handing in the quest to father, you can also get some coin and gear for the merchants there. Its maybe worth doing as the clock hasn't started in game so you can get the skill for no time investment. Similarly you can tickle the combat master during the chain portion hitting one time pausing and hitting again you can gain combat xp, again this is before the clock has started so maybe worth the extra hassle and care required.

Lockpicking... There is a tower in western Rattay behind a church. Inside it, there is Very Hard chest, which always locks itself after opening... There is minimum lockpicking skill needed (i think 13 - 15) to open it... It's the way to make it to 20.

You can level agility very fast by walking into a log or something and spamming the jump button. It gives exp and do not having to go through the animation

This man is saying 1 to 2 hours like it nothing

Man this was a big help epically for the bow that made it so much easier.

Also I’m not sure if this was changed from some update (I’m on Xbox one) but you can progress your lock pick much easier if you practiced lock picking with the Miller in Rattay (your home). He has a dialogue where you can “train” (not pay and raise skill) you into lock picking a chest over and over. There’s many videos about it that I suggest you look into it and prob put an annotation on top of the video or something. Anyway just letting you know, Btw keep up the videos 👍🏼

You know what would give you the cutting edge over the others posting similar stuff? If you put the times and what you're covering in the description. That way we don't have to spend a lot of time going through what we're trying to find.

super easy way to train reading is after you learned it through the quest, sneak into the Rattay Town Hall and the Sasau Monestary Library and steal all lore books (NOT skill books that train a skill and at least one copy of each, getting/reading duplicates doesn't advance your reading skill) and then go to one of your beds where you have the best bonus on reading and just flip through all of the lore books once. Other than skill books you don't have to take hours to study them, just choose a book from your inventory, flip through the pages and then move on to the next. This also works for all Treasure Maps, they also count towards reading. That way you get your reading to around lvl 10-12 in no time.

Regular mating gives a very welcome boost in vitality experience aswell ;) It's funny to see how playstyle can influence your stats. I still have not gotten Bernard back to Rattay yet and my fighting-related skills are a joke compared to yours but I got to a solid 16 speech and that's the only stat I haven't specificaly trained ^^ Drinking gets up fast once you get brewing and using your potions. The perks are very useful in lowering the drunk downsides (if you use alchemy a lot, hungover and alcoolism are little to no problem anymore) and pulling extra buffs for being drunk. After that you can easily remain drunk at all time for glorious drunken master style.

For hunting, boars are the best way to level up quickly. If you’re near a boar hunting spot there are usually 3-5 of them. if you find a deer spot nearby you can travel between the two and clear them out repeatedly.

Not sure if you mentioned it but regarding novice lockpicking training with the Miller npc, I noticed that on the PC version you can train on the same box from Lvl1 to Lv3 repeatedly. You unlock the box, open then close it, step back and go at it again. I have yet to pay him for higher lvl lockpicking training but perhaps the same thing can be done. Also, *something useful* I noticed is that the lock itself and its surrounding ring have their metal texture displaying peculiar markings and hyper or decolored spots that can be used as *a reference to keep the sweetspot aligned* while rotating the lock.

Extreamly helpful tips just subbed keep up the good vids. Maybe make a video about all the different weapons and weapon combos.

Cheers for the heads up on some of the skills pal 👍🏻

Best way to upgrade Lockpicking at early levels (1-5) - is 2 houses West of Rattay entrance, directly South from Bathhouses - during night they are locked with "Very Easy" locks. Open them, come to owners, wake them up with talk, exit house. They will lock it again. Repeat. After level 5 - you can learn the same way, but find places with harder locks (i.e. inside Rattay TownHall people are also sleeping but there are both Hard and Very Hard locks). You will require 11-13 lvl in Lockpicking for Very Hard locks though. Regarding Herbalism - if you pick 150-200 of Nettle - it will give PERMANENT +2 Vitality for the rest of the game (Hidden Perk). Perk +2 Charisma from Herbs available at level 5 - will start working if you have 30 herbs in inventory (i.e. Sage), 29 will not work.

Just started playing this game in 2023… very much appreciate this 🙏 🙌

Captain Bernard: The grumpy wellspring from which all your ability flows.

For lockpicking: do the chest at the miller first, and after you cannot unlock it anymore(10 times I believe is the max), go out at night, and open doors in villages. next night, they will be locked again, so you go again.

The miller in rattay has a chest je initially trains you on for lockpicking. This can be lockpicked repeatedly by opening it, then stepping back, it will close by itself, then you can approach it and lockpick it again. I raised my lockpicking to 12 in about an hour or two

Regarding Vitality - there is a way to optimize "up and down" strategy by pushing yourself to the wall under the roof which is lower than your jump height. This will lead you to series of "short jumps" which will drain your stamina very fast and help to speed process up a little. For Lockpicking - when you get your first lockpick traning from a Peshek(I have no idea what is his English name) you can pick traning chest several times(pick it, open it, look to another direction and repeat the process) this chest will runs out after you raise your picking skill to 3 or 4 which is nice start.

if you spend you time at the beginning of the game collecting herbs you can choose the flower power perk which increases your charisma with all npcs in the game. you need to have enough fragrant flowers in your inventory for the perk to be activated

Sorry but this is going to be a bit long-winded. For early stealth levels you can go to the bath house near the Miller's Place at Rattay at night. The door by the river stays unlocked or at least it did for me. Go in there and there are two people upstairs to knock out in their sleep. You can take their keys and hit the building directly across from that one where there are four more people sleeping. Once they wake up they will all switch beds and go back to sleep and you can do it again. Also since it is so close to the Miller you can go to sleep for an hour to save in between. I think this got me from Level 2 to level 8 in 1 in-game night.

Really helpful tips. I just thought of a good way to lvl lockpicking, at night go around unlocking lock doors, I haven't tried this yet but I'm almost sure after unlocking them, the NPCs lock them every night, so can repeat. Again, not sure it will work but I will be trying

I train sneaking, lockpicking and pickpocketing all at the same time. Wait until night in smaller hamlets with less guards. Most housing has easy or very easy locks to pick, and maybe 2 rooms with 1 to 2 people sleeping in them. You can pick door locks in the homes as well as chests. You can then pick a pocket, sneak to the next room, pick another pocket and just go back and forth. You dont even need to steal anything when you pick a pocket. You just need to start the minigame, then remove your hand from their pocket. I tend to train drinking and reading at the same time. You can overeat with alcohol while you are sitting on your bed or in your room, then read for 2-4 hours. Finish the book, and drink some more. Just be careful about blacking out. I know you get robbed if you black out, but I dont know if that happens when you are in your own room.

Thx - this was a great help!

Awesome man! Thx for the help!👍🏻

Just saying, for levelling up the lock-pick skill, a good way to get up a couple of levels is to ask the miller at Ratay that looks after you, right after you get beaten up in Skaliz. Ask him to train you in lock-picking and he will bring you to a chest that has an easy lock on it that won't break your lock picks and re locks every time you unlock it. FREE EXP!

For the archer one, you can go into the river, it is much closer and turns the chalenge incredbly easy to win

Protip : if you untarget and look down at people's shoes when fighting and swing as you move into range they never seem to block. I cut down 4 plated dudes in 1-2 swings each once I got St. Michael's Sword from the Rattay swordsmith. It is definitely a cheese method I try to only use if I'm about to lose but when you're just farming bandits just chop em up.

Great video! Very informative!

The most important video for anyone interested in this game! Thank you!

This was extremely helpful thank you for your info

You can also use the archery range at Rattay for money and skill as well. You can bet up to 76g and face 2 others to get 152g after each round.

You might want to point out that, to see the 'charisma' on a piece of gear, to press "Q". Some noobs might not know this ;D

Lockpicking to max at the miller at rattay, when he teaches you how and tell you to pick the lock, you lock pick, open it, close it and wait, it will relock. Also, the same place, you can do pickpocketing with the miller.

Thank you for all your hard work! This was very helpful!

Very very helpful man, thank you

Cheese for the maintenance skill: intentionally dull the blade on the grindstone then sharpen it again. Smoke=dulling and Sparks=sharpening.

Great video, thanks. Time-stamps would be really helpful with this.

Great Summary!

Training maintenance is second only to herbalism in ease to train. You only need one sword, any sword will do. The grinding wheel can damage blades as well as sharpening them. In Rat I got a hunting sword of some bandit and then proceeded to grind the edge off "angle for black smoke" and resharpen the same sword until my maintenance skill was high enough to make repair kits useful (i.e. allowing you to repair anything over 70% back to full).

Hey dude, great videos and truly appreciate making a good video over splitting the content over redundant videos in a series. Question though: when did you start the bow training method you list in the video? I think I tried with Bow at level 1 with a 37dmg bow (IIRC 4str 3agility for stats) and could not hit a single log for three attempts. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've been shooting rabbits this whole time. (on ps4)

Great video. Thanks !

Henry: I'm gonna go pick flowers...JUST AROUND THE RIVER BEND.. *I'm sure i butchered this...sorry lol.* 😖

Great and informative video. Thank you

"ha jk i wonder if i'm going to get demonetised for that though, ha rip" LOOL i just found you but you're amazing. GJ love your vids

I saw this somewhere else and I'll pass it on here. Alchemy, Lulabye Potion + Arrows= Sleeping targets that can be pickpocketed. Also, allows you to take out harder targets. If I remember right, one potion does l 5 arrows, and they can and should be recovered and reused.

For lockpicking, go to the Monastery, on each level of the scaffolds are 'Easy' chests. I think there are about 6+. Directly across the street from where the wounded from Skalitz are being treated.

*Hunting is a very fast way to earn money.* Go to the Area where you were hunting with Sir Capon. There are Roe deer, boar, and Red deer hunting areas close to each other. Boar brings the most Gold by weight. Hunt as much as you can carry. Use the horse to get as fast to Uzhitz as possible. Meat spoils fast and that lowers its value. Go to the Tavern in Uzhitz first to cook the meat and get rid of the “stolen” tag. Then go to the trader in Uzhitz. He usually has a lot of money (1-2K) and if you are on good terms with him and have a decent reputation in Uzhitz, you can earn 600-700 Groschen in one trip. Hunting and selling meat gets significantly easier and more profitable when you use Hunting perks like "Tanner" for the extra coin selling the skin, "Wild at Heart" so game doesn't run away so easily and "Salty", so meat doesn't spoil so fast. That way, you can afford decent equipment in no time.

This game is great. Had the glitch with Hans Capon bathhouse then he follows you so had to go back three hours and now so far so good. But this is such a great game to just sit down and relax and play.

Best way to level stealth is at the beginning of the game in Skalitz, make sure you start off picking both strength options, knock out the guy near the hay (very hard to get caught) then go gather all the plants in the town, once you're full, put it all in the chest at home, knock out the guy again, herbs again, rinse repeat, then you can vault over stuff, if you get hungry you can sell some of the herbs, if you wanna level speech sell em one at a time and haggle for each one, buy food, haggle that too
