Max inventory slot?

[Lampros]

Is it 117? I am keeping a Caravan Hand to get the inventory increase event, but I am not sure whether I got it. Thanks in advance!

Wow, so I shouldn't have had fired the Caravan Hand then. Damn...

126 with wagon ambition and caravan hand event.

Depends on difficulty also, as far as I remember. In Beginner you get some more slots from the start.

But I had a Caravan Hand with me when I did the Wagon Ambition. But still only 117 slot. Do you not always get 126?

Edit: Or is Caravan Hand event separate from the Wagon Ambition?

[Zensalin1]

The caravan hand event is an event on it's own. It doesn't trigger automatically when you fulfill the ambition. It has chances to trigger like any other event in the game.

Although I think it needs the ambition done as prerequisite.

Ah, ok; thanks!

Damn, I dumped a level 8 Caravan Hand, because I got tired of waiting for the Event. I guess back to the recruiting trail.

It's painful to have to include so many weaker Backgrounds purely for Events: Caravan Hand, Bowyer (bow), Tailor (Direwolf armor), Historian (depichering the Monolith map). Good thing I am not obssessed about the Cultist gear! ;)

Historian is also not mandatory. Event has chance you will be able to decipher map on your own.

But otherwise agree many such mercenary band-wide events tied to specific background are annoying. One could argue they are not required though and add flavour, so I guess liveable with.

Monolith map?

If you have a Historian, you can get the location of the Monolith faster - provided the Event fires off. Or so I've read.

I gave up on both the Tailor and the Bowyer as well, because 1) I needed "elite" recruits, and I couldn't hold off any longer; and 2) what they craft was only marginally better than what is easily available on the store (and worse than what is available if unique gear of the same type is available anyways).

I don't bother with it. The events are too rare.

Bowyer - in 550 hours I've never gotten the event. I do often get a bowyer as one of my early archers anyway and grab the wood, but if he dies I'm not going to rush out to get another, because it's just not worth waiting out.

Tailor - This absolutely is not worth me waiting on. Direwolf armor is -9 fatigue with 100 durability. For -10 fatigue I can get 110 and for -8 I can get 90. The benefit of someone I am in melee with getting -5 resolve is pretty pointless, and the days of this armor being worthwhile are long gone. I've had the event twice. I've gotten direwolf armor from raiders/brigande leaders 4 times though.

Yup. The down side of having so many Events is that the good ones are now "crowded out" by the average and bad ones. As another example, I have gotten the Swordsman teaching Event a grand total of once since release, and he taught for a measly +2.

That's another reason why I don't bother with the Tailor now. You can actually loot them from bandit leaders.

Personally I like to field a party with a variety of backgrounds. It adds to the fun.
