Comprehensive Pribyslavitz guide

Guide to rebuilding Pribyslavitz detailing everything you need to know and describing in which order to rebuild it for as little money as possible while maximizing the profit Pribyslavitz makes.

Introducition

This guide is the result of a deep analysis of From the Ashes DLC that I made.
It covers following topics:

• What to build
  
• Building order
  
• Judgments
  
• Village income breakdown

Disclaimer

Some quests that are not part of FtA DLC can affect your ability to achieve the highest income. These quests are:

• Ginger in a Pickle (affects charcoal price)
  
• My Friend Timmy (affects tavern income)
  
• Aquarius (affects traders income)
  
• Besmirched (affects tavern income)
  
• A Rock and a Hard Place and Gallows Brothers (affects tavern income)
  
• Rattled (affects forge income)

Should you make all the wrong choices, it will cost you 275 gr. of daily income.

Details about these quests are described further. If you are planning on achieving maximum possible income from Pribyslavitz I strongly recommend you read this guide before doing any of the aforementioned quests.

What to build

During the reconstruction you will have to make 3 decisions as to what you want to build. These decisions are:

• Bakery or Butchers
  
• Swordsmith or Armoursmith
  
• Stables or Guardhouse

Bakery or Butchers

The decision between bakery and butchers is rather easy – take bakery. It makes more money for the same build cost. The drying shed is also better than smoke house, as it allows you to dry all kinds of food. Smoke house can only make smoked meat. Lastly you will need to spend more money on resources getting livestock and grain (you only need grain if you go with bakery).

Swordsmith or Armoursmith

Swordsmith will provide you with highest charisma sword in the game – Tusk.

Armoursmith will provide you with the best shield in the game – Boarback shield.

These are the only unique items you can get from forge, everything else can be found elsewhere in the game. Which means the decision should be made according to your playstyle. Armoursmith can theoretically make you 10 gr. more than swordsmith, but this difference is so small you should neglect it.

Stables or Guardhouse

Most difficult decision. At first stables seem like a clear winner. It makes more money, allows you to choose from 3 new horses and provides some special horse tack that cannot be found anywhere else in the game.

However. I strongly advise you to consider building guardhouse instead and here’s why.

The overall income difference between stables and guardhouse in fully build Pribyslavitz is just 75 gr. Not a big deal considering the village will produce over 2300 gr. daily.

The new horses aren’t a big deal either. Each is better than Warhorse Jenda in some way, but also worse in another. And the differences are so small I doubt you would notice them.

Lastly, the exclusive horse tack. Contrary to popular believe, it’s not exclusive at all. It consists of 6 pieces of horse head armor, but you don’t need to build stables to get it. They can be purchased in forge as well. And there is no exclusive caparison that would be part of FoA DLC. Every caparison sold at stables in Pribyslavitz can be purchased at Merhojed stables.

Guardhouse on the other hand, will get you the strongest bow in the game – Sinew bow. But mainly it unlocks arena master. He will provide you with infinite number of enemies to fight against in an arena. You can choose difficulty, weapons, and armor. And yes, the selection includes polearms. It it’s like your own, custom Rattay tourney anytime you want.

If you like fighting, guardhouse is for you. The fun it provides is well worth the smaller income and extra horses/horse tack. I would only suggest you build stables if you plan on fighting from horse back. Agro is by far the best fighting horse in the game.

Rebuilding Pribyslavitz the smart way

Yes, the price of fully rebuild Pribyslavitz is well over 95 000 gr. But you DON’T NEED to save up this much. In fact, you only need 23 500 gr. for initial investment, about 2500 gr. to cover the initial running costs and as a reserve and 3000 to buy stone for building. You should have 29 000 gr. ready as you go to start Lost in the Woods quest. That’s all the money you will ever need to invest out of your own pocket.

The following part details how to rebuild Pribyslavitz. Order is important, as you need to maximize profits first. You should also aim to get the village profitable as soon as possible. For this reason, try to build everything up until you have tavern as quickly as possible.

When you first speak to the locator he will ask you for wage increase. See the Judgments section to know what to do. Read that section before else you might end up paying him more.

Initial buildings

Start with building Woodcutter’s camp.

Then immediately after build Bridge and Road.

Traders and resources

This is where you start doing some “chores”. The next building you need is traders. This building will provide Pribyslavitz with resources. It is crucial to get them as cheap as possible.

• Wood – sourced locally
  
• Stone – there’s only one place to get it – Talmberg quarry. Negotiate for lower price (3000 gr.), bring Bard potion if necessary.
  
• Grain – buy it in Samopesh, they offer the lowest price. It cannot be negotiated lower.
  
• Charcoal – go to the charcoal burners who are friends with Ginger. If you helped him during Ginger in a Pickle (make sure to go back to the hut he’s hiding in and tell him he can return to Neuhof), they will provide charcoal for 180 gr. If you didn’t help Ginger, the price is always the same no matter where you go – 220 gr.
  
• Livestock – get it from butcher in Ledetchko and get the Beasts of Burden upgrade for woodcutter’s camp

As you only need livestock to get Beasts of Burden upgrade for woodcutter’s camp, livestock quality doesn’t matter.
Money for stone can also be pickpocketed back, but that’s a way of a criminal.

The only resource you actually need to purchase is stone. Everything else will count as negative income. Stone is one time purchase, so you need to have the required 3000 gr. ready.

While you are running around getting resources, ask Kunesh (in Rattay) and Raspberry (woodcutters camp between Ledetchko and Inn in the Glade, you likely asked him about Reeky’s hideout) to come work for you as woodcutters. Also ask Kornelius to be your trader. You can only ask him after the quest Aquarius has been completed and you cannot give Kornelius a job during this quest.

Tavern

You can now return to Pribyslavitz and build tavern, also buy all the upgrades. Now it’s time to get some skilled workers for your local drinking hole.

First the innkeeper. The only option here is Adam (Rattay) who’s family owned tavern in Skalitz. In order to get him, you need to finish the Besmirched quest. During this quest you need to give Adam his family cross back. After that he will come work for you as innkeeper.

Next the barmaid. Again only one option – Mirka. She lives in the mill south of Merhojed, you might remember her as a sister of Timmy. Unless you killed Timmy, she will come work for you. It’s fine if Morcock and his cronies killed Timmy, she only refuse to be barmaid if you killed him personally.

You can also invite Mathew and Fritz to be local patrons. You need to finish the quest A Rock and a Hard Place and Mathew and Fritz cannot be arrested during the following quest, Gallows Brothers. Initially they will bring negative income of -15 gr. each. But, after a judgment they will start making positive income of +10 gr. each. The sooner you bring them, the sooner the judgment can happen for them to start making money, so don’t wait too long getting them. Once the judgment appears, you must choose “Give them one more chance” option.

Bakery

Your village is now making about 800 gr. daily. Wait 6 days and you should have enough money to build bakery and all its upgrades. Silvester, a skilled baker, can be hired during another judgment, so keep an eye out for it.

Forge

After building the bakery (and hiring Silvester) the village is now making 1260 gr. daily and after another 8 days it should earn you enough to build a forge. Choose swordsmith or armoursmith based on your playstyle.

As far as the skilled workers go:

• With swordsmith go to Sasau and find Fink (local swordsmith). Start and finish The Queen of Sheba's Sword quest. Then you can hire him.
  
• With armoursmith got to Sasau as well and start the Rattled quest. You need to side with Zach. Only then will he come work for you and he will make you +70 gr. If you side with Otta, you can hire him, but he will only make +10 gr.

Guardhouse/Stables and Beehives

The village is now making about 2080 gr. daily. Wait 3 days and you should have enough to build and fully upgrade guardhouse and beehives.

If you want to build and fully upgrade stables instead, you might need to wait an extra day to gain enough money.

After you build stables, go to Neuhof and hire Mark to be your groom. You will need to convince Zora to let him leave Neuhof. Successfully finishing The Sport of Kings quest will make the convincing easier, but it can be done without it.

Rathaus and Church

The village is now making whopping 2545/2620 gr. daily. Rathaus will cost you 310 daily and church 300 daily.

You can build it as the money comes or wait until you make enough to upgrade everything all at once. It really doesn’t matter all that much, but if you want to rebuild Pribyslavitz as fast as possible without spending more than the initial investment of 29k gr. you should wait until you have all the money. It costs 50 300 gr. to build and fully upgrade both rathaus and church. Pribyslavitz should make this much in about 19 to 20 in game days.

Judgments

Every once in a while, you will find an activity marker on your map located in the center of Pribyslavitz. That is a judgment – special type of activity introduced by From the Ashes DLC. You will need to decide various disputes between the citizens of Pribyslavitz.

Some of these judgments are important and can earn you more money. Some have no impact at all. Judgments can also have impact on your reputation with Pribyslavitz, but I wouldn’t worry much about that. It’s easy to keep it high even if you make unpopular decisions. Certain decisions will always result in loosing or gaining citizen(s). As the number of citizens have no effect on the village, it’s not important criterium.

Important judgments

These judgments can earn you substantial daily income or they can lower your daily income by a lot. It’s very important to make a good, or at least not terrible, decisions.

"Raspberry will stay here."	+5	0	0
"I'll give you a good dowry to leave."	-1000	+?	0
"It's your own affair."	-40	-3	0

• It’s important to keep Raspberry around, he’s making decent profit, first option is clearly the best one here
  
• The dowry is one time payment of 1000 gr. It is not negative income that you’ll need to pay daily

Brothers Brawl

• Matthew and Fritz are causing problems in tavern, decide what to do with them
  
• "Give them one more chance." is the only possible answer here. This will keep them around and they will start to make +10 gr./day each. Other options will either get them to leave Prybislavitz or keep them around, but they will keep on costing you -15 gr./day

Locator's Wage

• Marius wants pay rise
  
• You will need speech check rating of 18+ to get him stick to his original contract of 55 gr.
  
• If you can’t get speech to 18+ even with bard potion, agree to his pay rise
  
• Don’t give him higher sum (120 gr.) it has no benefit for you
  
• Due to a bug, you will pay him total of 175 gr. daily if you fail the speech check, it’s advised to save before negotiating his pay

Minor judgments

These judgments can earn you daily income or cost you daily income, but the amount of money you gain or lose is very small.

Attempted Murder

• Malis accuses his wife of trying to kill him. Harridan claims he just got drunk and ate too much

Answer	Money	Reputation	Citizens
"Farmer, you're a brute."	+5	-3	0
"Nothing happened. It's your own affair."	0	0	0
"Woman, you're banished for trying to poison your husband."	-10	-3	-1

Answer	Money	Reputation	Citizens
"100 feet."	+5	+2	0
"Let them answer the call of nature where they like."	+0	-3	-2
"Insist on 150 feet downstream."	-5	0	+1

Guards Needed

• Guards are afraid of Cuman attacks and want to workers to be trained as guards

Answer	Money	Reputation	Citizens
"I've no people to spare."	0	-3	-2
"A few woodcutters."	-10	0	0
"A few labourers."	-10	0	0
"Woodcutters and labourers."	-20	+?	0

• Unless you care about the -3 reputation I would choose the first option, there are no attacks, you don’t need to defend Prybislavitz

Other judgments

All other judgments are either irrelevant, meaning they don’t cost you any money or only one time payment.

There is one judgment which happens when you build butchers instead of bakery.

• Butcher Kochwurst makes +50 gr./day but costs you -3 reputation
  
• Butcher Brisket makes +45 gr./day and has no reputation penalty

As the butcher is overall worse option than bakery, you should never see this judgment
 

Village income breakdown

Tables below show the village income breakdown for Prybislavitz with bakery and guardhouse and Prybislavitz with bakery and stables.

The breakdown is more detailed than the one you find in ledger. For this reason, some numbers are different, but the overall total is the same.

• Synergies between buildings are accounted for the building that produces said synergy. For example, bakery produces cakes for tavern, so the income from said cakes is accounted under the bakery, not tavern.
  
• In the ledger, the cost of supplies shows under traders, that’s why here it has positive income, while in game it’s negative
  
• In the ledger, Marius’s wage shows under rathaus, that’s why the running cost of rathaus here is smaller than the one in ledger
  
• Judgments regarding the skilled workers are accounted for under the respective building
  
• Every judgment is made to maximize profit, your mileage might vary based on the decisions you make

Daily income of 2360 gr. is actually the highest Prybislavitz can earn after fully rebuilding it. Theoretical max income is 2820 gr. This is after building and upgrading everything except for rathaus and church and deciding every judgment to maximize profit.

Thanks for the guide! It's the best one I've seen regarding Pribyslavitz. An important note on the supplies: it's possible to "re-negotiate" rates by choosing one of the other suppliers later on, at least as of the most current version of the game. This is useful if you chose one of the more expensive suppliers first. No more getting screwed out of 80 Groschen a day by the Uzhitz bailiff.

[WalkWhenICanFly]

Thank you so much for this guide, it's been a lifesaver.
Small correction though: with Kornelius, I gave him a latrine emptying job, and I could still hire him later as merchant. There's a speech or charisma check or the option to give money. Idk how it goes if you give him a water carrying job.

[Chickensnot]

NightHunter, you need to build the trader first for the supplies to be brought to Pribyslavitz. Then the trader can have a wagon sent to get them. Just build the trader, and then talk to the stonemason again.

[NightHunter]

Hello there mate, thanks a lot for this guide, but my problem is I need someone to deliver the stone to pribislavitz, idk who might that be, he doesnt let me buy the stone

[Dakota]

incredible guide, thank you so much

[Montyzu]

There is a judgment about some missing grain or stolen. The options is to confiscate from villagers which is -rep or to pay 500 to buy from Hanush idk what it does.

[Nästea]

Thanks a lot

[bLaCk0uT]

Thanks you for this guide. It must have taken a while to put it all into text.

[Zlatkowar]

You legend :3

[Cheshire]

I can't even find the guy youre supposed to talk to
