Swordsmith not getting anymore items

[Gaming Time]

So I decided to start stealing from the swordsmith in Rattay because I was short on coin, After clearing him out about 3 times he just wont restock. All his shelves are empty and it has been atleast 2 weeks since I stopped stealing. Did I steal too much or is it glitched? Ive seen people do it many more times than I have and have him restock.

Don't know, but Fallout 3 had a similar system where if you robbed someone too many times they would close down their store and leave forever lol.

I have noticed that the Traders stop restocking after a while - which agrees with your findings

I have also noticed that certain steps in the main quest line cause ALL traders in the game to reset to their original money and inventory - and this may also happen after a few days.

So, perhaps just wait a few days or progress some quests ?

The best way i have found to make steady money and avoid this situation, is by farming gear along the roads and in Skalitz, and selling to the Tailors - they Resell the items you sell to them nightly, and their available gold goes up. Then i steal their Gold (leaving a few thousand for next time).

For example, if i sell them goods for 4000 g - the next morning they will have resold all that stuff and now have more like 12,000 g - i then steal 8,000 g. And Groschen is never marked as stolen. Ez-Pz

The Blacksmiths also resell in a couple days, but the Armorsmith and Weaponsmith seem to take ~4 days to resell.

Unfortunately Im ass at combat, bandits and cumans just counter all of my attacks and I cant pull off any combos they wont block instantly. Also how do you steal groschen from storekeepers?

Just a matter of breaking into their shops and finding the chest they keep their coin in. They'll always be in a Very hard chest, so you'll need 15 lockpicking skill to open in (or 10 + the poition)

Combat training is available once you finish the "Train Hard Fight Easy" quest - you can choose to never start the next quest, and just Train. Back pedal, or getting some distance from the ambush is a must - then aggro only a couple at a time. Or, if you are just starting out, try archery (it's rather over-powered compared to melee combat).

Almost all shopkeepers have a Chest somewhere that contains their Groschen - finding it can be difficult, but the Armorsmiths, Weaponsmiths, and Tailors keep their groschen with their physical inventory - you just have to find the right container.

If you get the luck of the drunk perk, you can pick then at 8.

Wait what? You can pick very hard locks with luck of the drunk?

Just get intoxicated, doesn't have to be a lot and it will give you a huge boost to lockpicking.

Agree with the Archery advice: I'm still in the Prologue, leveled up my Archery to 10 shooting sheeps in the starting village to earn money, and in the Run! quest, I was able to one-shot all the Cumans by shooting them in the face. Now I'm wandering around collecting Cuman equipment, but not sure how I'm going to store them to sell later after this quest!

Once you get to Talmberg you can rent a room at the inn outside the castle and store it there. You will need to sell some stuff as you will need 200 or 250 I think.

A big money maker early in game - after prologue (once you get to Rattay) - is poaching = which is all bow work.

Not all "deer hunting spots" are created equal - and you need to go near ambush sites to get to some, but the area where Hans Capon goes is easy to get to and passes no ambush sites. I stop at the Inn or Uhzitz for the night - and then head there early in the AM - harvest deer and rabbit - and run back to Rattay for the afternoon (raw food spoils fast). No need for heavy armor - no ambushes as long as you stay on main roads. By the time you get back to Rattay - all poaches food is clean. You can also cook poached food to clean it, but it is not necessary since it clears so fast.

Here's a great map - just turn on whatever markers you want:

You robbed him off all profits buddy, now he's relying on the government to get him through these hard times.

So I went to the one Inn that is in the village outside the Talmberg castle, paid the Innkeeper 175 for "several nights" and he told me the "bed" is up on the loft. Found the bed (it's just a bench with some fur on it) and confirmed I could sleep there, but there is no chest to store my stuff as I was expecting. Am I missing something here?

Did the bed say Sleep (Save)? Sometimes another room is still open, you might have gone to the wrong one still

That was the answer! Thank you! Turns out there are two lofts and I found the 2nd one with a proper bed and a trunk that opened without me having to pick the lock. So while I'm still in the Prologue, I can store all my loot there, go and bury my parents and when I get to Rattay that trunk will have my loot stored here, right?
