Questions about Thralls.

[Raging Oliveira]

Hello, I'm new to the game and I have a few questions. Sorry to bother everyone in advance.

1) I manage to recruit some t4 crafter thralls and I wonder if their level matters in relation to their crafting skills. I've searched around but couldn't find any information. I know it affects their combat stkills, but does the perks they unlock with leveling affect the crafting abilities as well? Should I try to also level them up?

2) Do leveling up a thrall to max level makes them Tier 4? Or a thrall needs to be start at tier 4?

3) I'm planning on moving to a new location on the map, is it better to move my thralls or recruit new ones?

Thank you for the help in advance and I'm sorry for my bad english.

T4 crafting thralls with the same specialization have give the same bonuses. A T4 thrall from a higher faction will have more HP and offence if they get in combat, but otherwise they are the same as a T4 exile. Leveling a crafter may give them more HP and offence, but will do nothing for their crafting bonuses. Generally, set your squishy crafters combat to no taunt, withdraw, passive, passive and they likely won't get killed.

Leveling a thrall does nothing to their tier. Only thralls that start as a T4 will ever be a T4.

You will want to move some thralls, specially any T4 crafters. As you move to a tougher area, you will recruit better thralls you can break the links with any exiles, Darfari, and Black Hand.

Thank you very much for the help. I was wondering if I had to take them with me instead of a fighter focused thrall. Thank you for the tips on the AI behaviour too @_@ I'll make sure to apply those changes :D
Again thank you very much for the help

Just food for thought.
Keep crafting thralls for crafting and fighters for fighting. There are heaps of fighters. Don't waste precious crafting thralls on combat.
As an example a T1 Amourer thrall on a Tanners Table gives you the ability to turn ordinary hide into thick hide, which you need to make heavy armour. The thrall may only be a T1 but you can't make thick hide with out them. You can pick a fight with a bear, elephant, or a rhino to get thick hide but unless you have high skill levels you will get your butt kicked.

Treasure and protect your crafting thralls. They are the human equivalent of the 'Midas Touch'.
