The same thing is true if you manage to piss off a village. NPC power levels are randomized at the beginning of the game. Interestingly, the Powerful notables (the ones where you can recruit nobles) spawn in chunks. If one village has one, the nearby villages probably have one as well. This means that if you ever find a cluster of powerful Levels trade pretty quickly. 20 Aserai warhorses will cost ~16k, but can net >40k. Over time there are more lucrative commodities, but those are the best per trade. And you can be doing the other trading at the same time (buying salt and dates down south, hogs and wood up north) A shorter sword would likely be your best option, and maybe some throwing knives. Get a mace, raid, sell captives. It says on the skill how to level it up if you click on the "i" at the top right. But the 'best way' I level it up, is just selling off as many prisoners as I can, usually excluding lords. EDIT: Ok, so the only thing that ever touches that value is a method called "ExecuteUpgradeWorkshop ()" and that's linked to the Clan Finances view model but doesn't seem to be linked to anything in the UI. So I guess at some point they intend it to be something the player chooses to do. No idea what the level is expected to add. Hardwood when collected in battanian cities can be as low as 11 denari, buy up till 25ish denari, do not sell below 30 denari, in high demand Ive seen it go up to 80 denari each. Flax bought below 10 denari, sell above 14 denari. Iron ore buy below 40 denari, sell above 55 denari. Anything else if you see it low buy it, but dont stock up on it. 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 You'll slowly begin to build up your denars. Also, eventually, I know players tend to not like caravans because they struggle to make their own profits sometimes and tend to get captured. But, if you level up your trade skill enough then you can get the perk that generates trade rumors from your caravans. 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. 0iEu.
