Best way to make a lot of money?

[shikaka2010]

Im kind of hovering around the 5k-10k mark. Cant seem to save up any more than that. Contracts are a good way to earn money, but sometimes they will dry up. My brothers cost about 450 per day, so any savings quickly gets eaten up during dry spells. Trading doesnt really seem worth it. Profit is very small on each item. Sometimes I have to sell at a loss. How do you guys make a lot of money? Do you trade? Sell looted weapons? Any advice?

Trade can be viable but heavily depends on your map and is more about making back what you'Ve spent during travelling, so it's more an offset then a profit thing.

Best way to make lots of cash mid and lategame is indeed loot, especially weapons and armors, the higher the tier, the better.

Noble War Crisis can easily yield sellable loot for a single big battle of 15k

Orc weapons sell well too

EDIT: A very reliable way to make some insane cash with no real effort is the Arena in the southern city states. As long as you got 3 to 5 'good' bros, you cann just chill there and take a fight every day, as long as your bros aren't the grediest ones.
It's not the biggest cash infusion compared to other ways of getting money in the game but it's steady, reliable and both low in risk and cost

You repair the good weapons before selling them. The profit from that massively outweight the tool cost. Lategame Battle Brothers is basically Arms Dealer Simulator.

[Iron Ben]

Repair any weapons worth 500+ (when full)

Repair any pieces of armor worth 2000+ (when full)


Everything else you sell as is. You'll start making profit in no time.

Make sure to do this before day 40. Before day 40 the fights are easy, with some being against 2-3 low enemies such as thugs.

Day 40+ The enemies get harder. Still a great source of cash just a little more risky with raiders, leaders, and southerners with nimble showing up.

The only way to earn money is selling loot. All other sources of income combined are only enough to survive.

Trading can offset the daily cost / traveling expenses of your company. 200-250 crowns of profit per item is possible if you establish good relations in a southern and northern city and trade good producing villages and trade in between these two hubs.

Contracts is pretty much a waste of time on legend difficulty, i only do them for rep.

Selling the right items you loot is far more profitable, not tier 1 though.

I recommend using mods that display buy and sell price as a beginner from nexus, possibly also one that display what contracts you are accepting which i use myself, i never liked the idea of not being able to tell beforehand.

Raid camps. They always have weapons, armors and some trade goods to sell in bulk.
The more you can raid before going to town, the better.

The 3 stars contracts can get you above 6000 crowns easily, and I've seen some barbarian king hunting above 10000 crowns although you need to be ready for something tough.
Usually, you find them with noble contracts. Note that those contracts are almost always the same and spawn contracts in specific areas. So be sure to check the pattern and to take the contract when you're close to it, you'll save time, meaning saving rations and crowns.

Basically stop doing quests and start exploring the wilds instead. Stock up on supplies, get maximum food tools and enough gold to last for a week. Find a city close to the wilds and start revealing the fog in a big arc while raiding camps along the way. keep going until your cart is full or you run out of supplies or your bros need to recover. Repair all the loot and sell it all in the city, replenish supplies in the smaller towns. Eventually you can upgrade the cart and go on longer more lucrative journeys. Orc weapons sell for a lot and I find they’re one of the easier factions.
