Trade skill from workshops

[flyingscot1066]

I don't know if I missed a post where it was brought up, but I just noticed that my character is getting Trade skill gains when my workshops turn a profit.
Finally.

Is that im the latest beta version?

Guess it makes sense. I finally played a trader in the last weeks and got the skill to 300 the old grindy way. Of course they'd make it easier a week after I could have used that :)

Yes it is.

This is the way.

I havent gotten any trade exp from my workshops in beta....... At least, not that Ive noticed.

I have been running 6 workshops for years and not noticed any trade skill levels either. OP are you using any mods? If not, could you let us know how you noticed this? What exactly happened?

[Clovis Sangrail]

It's not happening in my current campaign, nor has it happened in any of the many campaigns I have played over the past years, so either it's something new for 1.2, or OP has some mods he didn't mention.

Beta branch. No mods.

I had not engaged in ANY trading until later in game other than buying food and selling loot, so my Trade skill was about at 11, but I have 7 points in Social.

I had some change in my pocket and went to Quyaz, and bought all 3 workshops (2 oil and 1 silver).

I was going to just keep one of them as Oil and change the other 2 to smithy/wood workshop, then sell, but I decided instead to just go and take advantage of the lack of natural resources, so I brought in a few hundred iron and silver ore and deposited them in the warehouse, and set the workshops to draw materials from the warehouse.

I left it to run and went up to Vlandia to hunt some bandits, and as I was traveling I got about a half dozen Trade skill increase notifications by the time I hit Galend.

Maybe its the manual delivery of the resources?
Havnt played around with workshops since... like forever

Thank you for the details. I am also playing beta but have not noticed this. I have 19 in trade skill. Which is what I have had since start. It is now day 1847, I have 6 workshops running. Have had them for several years. I am depositing items in warehouses and have them set to draw from there.

To add as much detail as I can, I am leader of the Sturgians. I currently have only 5 workshops due to being in war and losing 2 just before I am typing this. There are two workshops in Revyl and 3 in Omor. I am depositing Flax and Hides in Revyl as the workshops are Linen and Tannery. Each one has a daily profit of around 300 denars.

Unfortunately, so far I have seen no increase in trade. As I am not in red yet I will keep looking.

I only noticed it for a short time, it hasn't repeated in a very long while now, despite the fact that I now have 3 shops all doing 300+ daily, but I also haven't been using the warehouse to feed them since then. Might be related to that activity. I'll do that again and see if it happens again.

Perhaps it only works if the workshop doesnt have a village source of material available and you have to bring the supplies yourself. I believe thats what he said he was doing. At least for one of them. Something worth testing out, since people genrally only set a workshop if there is a village source around.

One thing I will say, this game has an over abundance of raw silk, which makes velvet workshops not very good.

Interesting observation. I agree, definitely worth testing. I'll give it a shot.

It is worth noting Revyl has 2 villages which supply grain and fish. There is no village source of hides or flax.

Actually there are. It has a village that makes cows nearby (From the castle) and there are flax villages near omor that likely would have some making its way to revyl
