Dwarven Trading Tips

Goodday Dawi,

We have all had this problem before and made this same mistakes.
Buying this and then Selling it at a lower price.......
Except Dwarfs because they keep records.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tip 1
Because Bannerlord doesn't show you the price you paid but what you are going to get for your items.
It is up to U to do so. I made a small list on my phone but you can do it on almost everything.
(in Stone is not recommended nor in the Book of Grudges)

simply write or type the cost of the items like so:

Item............LP...........BP..........City S..........City B
Butter..........23...........23..........Zeonica.......Village with Midlands Palfrey
Cheese.......34...........34..........Zeonica.......Village with Midlands Palfrey
Sheep.........54...........54..............................Village with Sheep production

I wrote LP which means Lowest Price of the item in the game.
And BP is the Buying Price of the item.
You could add the city where you can sell it the best aswell as where to sell it

When you start the game I recommend to hire 6 recruits and buy Butter and Cheese
and if you can 5 sheeps.
This because when you start you go directly to Zeonica and sell Butter and Cheese.
If you hold on to the Sheep you will see the price going up for it in the city and you can sell them for more than 120 a Sheep Rhotae.
Now you can move to any City and sell your items/loot without losing your hard earned Gold.

Jewelry........214........216..........Rhotae and then sold for 398 can even go for around 440.

The thing you could do is also go to the Tavern and talk to the locals.
They will tell you what to buy and where you can sell it plus the profit you could make.
It will take some of you time but atleast 8 out of 10 leads pay off.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tip 2
Later when you have the chance buy or keep them after a fight are horses.
cheapest horse will do 54 gold for Stumpter Horse.
This is all for increasing your caring cap. for trading.
You could also do this by recruiting units but that works only if you don't want to fight.
Because fighting will give you Goldcoins after the battle and Loot.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tip 3
Loot that you get from Looters sometimes be: Smithshammer, sickel or a Fork
Step 1 Go to Poros where you can buy Hardwood cheap in the start atleast 2.
Step 2 Go to the Smith, refine and make atleast 1 Charcoal
Step 3 Still in the Smith, Smelt and smelt the weapon.

You will see that you get Hardwood, Iron ore, Crude iron and even Wrought iron.
These can be sold for a great profit.

Smithhammer sold for 50
Buy 2 Hardwood ~34p=68.
Sell 1 Crude iron~45p and 2 Wrought iron ~80p and keep the 1 Hardwood =205.
Profit is around 137 gold instead of 50 for just selling the hammer difference of 87 gold.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tip 4
When you finaly have some gold about 2000 you should look for Villagers that walk from there Village to the City.
When you talk to them they will say they are going to the Market.
If you tell them you are going there to, you get the option to buy everything from them for the LOWEST price in the game so far as i could find.
Sadly you cant pick but that doesnt matter.
Earlier I told U needed Horses, well here is you lucky day.
Villagers sell Horses for 54pp, Grain for 7pp, Sheep 45pp, Butter for 22pp and Cheese for 30pp.

Prices are the lowest price or 1 or 2 higher but Goods are different for every region.

Try this above Zeonica and sell the Butter and Cheese in Zeonica then go to Poros sell Grain
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

U see i used a lot of dots between the numbers because steam didn't aloud me to use space's.
I know a lot of you think this is stupid and time consuming but its not.
Every time U look at the LP you start remembering it.
Then all that the BP does is aid you in making the right call.
This system works even better on high value items like Jewelry and Leather for instance.

I'll update the guide the longer the game is out.
maybe placing a list of buy and sell city's

I definitely liked and favorited your guide Grim. It's an excellent job and deserves to be shared!

[Bookhead]

I have this crazy ability to remember what I bought them for without trying. Might be because my ancestors were traders. For all of those who forget this is really good though.

Anywhere in the Aserai lands, just look for villages that produces Dates, check the cities too. Anything below 30 is a good price. I've sold them for as much as 110 back at Poros, Zeonica and other cities that go north. If you wanna make a different kind of trip, you can head north to Sturgia and find villages that produces Fur and sell it back at Poros, usually goes for about 100-115 at the beginning and you can buy it for about 50 in Sturgia villages that produce it

@Cheeki Boi
it is indeed a good tip and i will add it but could you tell me where you bought it, so i can add it to the guide.

ps dont forget to like this guide so we can get the right info to the new players.

[Karsk]

Excellent advice Cheeki. Definitely tell others bc that's supremely helpful :D

Hi, just wanted to share a tip on early game making money. When you start off and get a few men and a little bit of money (about 2k) you can head down south and buy Dates and sell them at Poros and Zeonica for sometimes triple or quadruple the profit. It's close and easy, make sure you have other food in your inventory so that your people dont eat the the dates
