Best way to become a slave?
Hello all! I do not yet have the glory of owning this game yet because I have one question:

What is the recommended way of becoming a slave?

I saw on the game description that you can become a slave. I really want to get into that life. Also, how can one become sold as a slave to another master?

Once my quesitons is answered, then I will purchase this game for full price. :)

Go into Holy Nation country as a non-human & you will become a slave & be packed off to mine for the rest of your life unless you escape.
Be knocked out in a fight and then slavers suddenly walk by, they're more than likey to pick you up & put you into slavery when they walk you back to a slave town. Actually, those guys tend to just chase you down anyway if they feel like it.
So many ways it can happen.

In my latest playthrough I got thrown into a cell just because I was poor lol ;o)

i guess you can just attack any slaver caravan or manhunter group and they will beat you up and put you in chains.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

So pretty much cause a ruckus and there's a chance I get to become a slave?

I also saw that as a slave, there is a chance that you can be sold to another master. I think that would be another interesting ordeal to get into. Is there any kind of conditions that need to be met?

There is also the option to just sell yourself to slavery in the markets... Or just run to one of the cages and wait until the slavers decide to just keep you there.

But there is that wait period to be under a master.

I would probably recommend getting lockpick and stealth trained or martial arts and strength should you decide it's enough. Strength is a lot faster and pretty much render the shackles unusable, but you have got to be a heavy weapon slugger in full plate armor unencumbered to pull off such a feat. Lockpick and stealth is pretty much very useful. Assassination skill optional, but good for stealth takedowns and probably take faction clothes that do not penalize athletics that much. Martial Arts and dodging if you want be a slave who can wreck a garrison when they felt like it... but again, the training involved.

As for assassination. used fogmen, fog princes, bandits, rebel farmers, etc. for that. Just needs good stealth and athletics to be able to catch up to them.

It may be a bit spoiler-ish, but...

There is a large slave market with about 3 slave shopkeepers South of Swamplands, bit northwest from the center southern shore and tell one that you have someone to sell. Depending on your stats, what you may earn may be small or big (up to 10,000). Beats being turned in to slavery by force, that's for sure.

Other ones are small markets, usually Unitied Cities faction. UC towns are found in northeast quadrant of the map (in Great Desert region) and at the center Southern part of the map. Or just buy/steal the UC Territory and UC Central maps from traveler/tech shops. Their stores have the chained-up smiley face on their sign, but not all UC-friendly locations have a slave market building and not all bearers of the sign have interactable shopkeepers so bear that in mind.

I see.

So I tried to trespass into a building to try to get sold into slavery... The guards came in and crushed my spine which became fatal. I also ran into a gang of slave traders but none of them want to do anything to me... Is there any way I could just attack them to prompt slavery?

If you go into the great desert in the heart of empire territory (north-east area), there's huge bands of slavers around all the stone camps. (Best place to look is Sho-Battai, there's a stone camp directly south-west of it with several slaver bands coming and going.) From there, simply attack a band in a way that will get you knocked out and they'll take you straight to the stone camp.

They won't take you anywhere or anything, your character will just work for them until you say otherwise. (Cancel the obedient slave job in the bottom right corner. The job will come back if they cage you again.) You can break out as many people as you want out, slavers come by Sho-Battai to pick up criminals from the prison and bring them to the camp.

The stone camp will die out if you kill all the slavers who yell at slaves while they work... and possibly the noble lady in charge of the place. I'm not too sure.
