A few years late but, to train your bow, there's some sheep in Rattay around the area where you can practice with captain Bernard. You can kill the sheep over and over, just run into the city and come back and they respawn. I usually run to where the blacksmith is and back. Make sure to loot your arrows back from the sheep. You have to stay some distance from the sheep otherwise they run, so try to keep them all together its a lot easier. Not only does this level your bow, but also strength, vitality, agility, hunting and your main level. So you'll level up a bunch of stats at once. Also once you get your hunting up, there's a perk that makes wild animals less skittish and that makes this method even easier as you can now be right up close to the sheep. Lastly this is on ps4 so I don't know if it'll work on pc, Xbox.

When training with Captain Bernard, get a long term room at the Inn east of the training grounds. As the Capt will beat you up severely you can go there to sleep & recover your health. Saves you a long trip through town or back down to the mill. Also learn to brew Marigold Potions and make a bunch of them. So you can heal back up without having to go to sleep. Repair all your equipped equipment after every fight and don't forget to check your horse's equipment also. You'll have to carry all the repair kits and as many as you can afford. Carry extras on your horse if you need the carry weight. Later in the game get rooms at all the Inns. Then when you're overburdened you only have to get to the nearest Inn to unload to your chest.

If someone is still reading these comments. You can also make a noise to wake the owner and they will lock the door against as you go to the neighbor. So basically you can lock pick doors in a circle.

[@cannonballbrad9522]

I found that one of the best ways to level up warfare, (weapon of your choice), defense, stealth, horsemanship, and maintenance in the SAME ACTIVITY. All that you need to do is begin clearing out the bandit camps Around rat today for Bernard. You will be able to get into fights, you can alternatively sneak up to the camp and spook the horses or poison them, collect any gear worth selling and collect the bandit ears as trophies. Doing this enough will unlock the same activity in Sasau where you will be paid 625 gold per each bandit year that you could bring him. So save all of your bandit ears for von Burg And I ended up with 13,000 gold at the end of about two hours of playing. You’ll be taking a lot of damage so bring or more kits and blacksmith kits to repair your items which will increase that skill. Looting the corpses in the final stages of this activity will give you plate armors and weapons that can be sold for over 1.5k each. I kept several myself. And in between all of this you need to be on your horse moving from target to target so your horsemanship will increase as well.

[@CptCudlScoops]

As others have mentioned hunting is by far the fastest and easiest money making method. In the woods to the west/northwest about 3/5 th of the way between Rattay and Vranik/Sasau is a boar hunting spot. There are two boar there. With decent bow and arrows you can one shot them and the amount of meat will overload your horse and possibly you depending how good a horse and saddle you have. Take this back to miller and cook it on the fire in the house. Then sell it at either the taverns or the meat merchant or grocer or regular merchants or miller in Rattay. 2 boars worth of cooked meat sell for over 3k. Just sell it all to one merchant to clean them out up rep and get them to have a larger cash pool when next you do it. because its so close and gives so much money and is easy i think its faster then other methods ive seen that involve risky stuff like robbing sword shops. Also the more you cook a type of meat the higher quality cooked goods you get from it and the more money it makes. Once a merchant replenishes there cash after a couple days you can make 3k+ in less then a few minutes doing this without any repercussions or risk or dealing in stolen goods since cooked meat doesn't count as stolen.

[@oLawlieto]

Or you could pickpocket the traders for their keys (alt. gitgud at lockpicking) and just steal the money from a chest in the back. All indoors traders store their all their money and goods in 1 box. Fun fact, there is actually a box in the game that is linked to your horse inventory and its in Rattay.

[@orztaku]

ya, hunting is bullshit. So is fighting any enemies. All you loot from hunting is flagged as stolen and the meat will spoil, loot from enemies usually damaged ... and it all has weight. Next is not every merchant buys all stuff. The armorer will never buy your weapons or pelts and so on. So you spent 60mins fighting/poaching , then another 30mins limping to town and from merchant to merchant overburdened to sell and you still get hampered by most merchants only having paltry sums of Groschen. Better way: right after reaching Rattay you steal the keys or lockpick your way into the armorers house and you have +2ooo Groschen .... takes like 5minutes. You can steal from almost every merchant. You have to lockpick their chest every single time (lockpicking XP) or get the keys and get your payment everytime you come to town ...

[@Schugger1]

ok, to avoid not being to sell poached food, just cook it at the next fire/hearth and it brcomes a new item in your inventory which you could sell everywhere.

[@orztaku]

wasn't even the problem. It's still flagged stolen until you find a fire, which may cause problems. Can't cook the fur. It still weighs a lot (for it's worth). The meat still spoils (even when cooked). Not all merchants buy meat/foot/pelts and lastly merchants have limited groschen. All in all you spent like 1hr+ for some hundred groschen ... when you can make the same (or more) with 5mins lockpicking/pickpocketing/trespassing. If you don't feel like becoming a criminal, then you can always hunt down the treasures, each giving decent amounts of groschen + some good gear (which often sells for like 1k+ a piece). On a sidenote: at least they seem to have finally fixed that the arrows you loot from your prey are no longer flagged as stolen as well ...

[@Schugger1]

All true orztaku, but there are a good deal of players who don't want to take the roll of a rogue and don#t care about the fast Groschen. As soon as you enter midgame you won't have any financial problems anyway. Late game I only checked corpses for stuff I couldn#t purchase by any vendor. I ended by none-rogue playtrhough with about 45k Groschen in my chest and about 25k Groschen in my pocket.

[@matthewgreen6131]

A really good way to level pickpocket. When you find one of the random instances where guards, cuman, or bandits are fighting and some people are tied up. If the person tied up is a cuman or bandit the guards do not care if you pickpocket then. Each one tends to have 3-5 items to take. Them being tied up makes it very easy to pickpocket then as well.

[@GabbyJFS_02]

About the drinking skill, if you’re trying to raise it quickly, I definitely recommend choosing to drink with Father Godwin during the Mysterious Ways quest (I recommend doing it anyways, it’s hilarious). I was level 2 in drinking, then after one night of debauchery with that man I was level 6.

[@JustifiedbyGod]

One of my favorite methods is in the first village, pick every single flower. With these, you can buy a lot of good repair kits before the game really starts. In my opinion, you want to get the "Leg Day" pirk as early as possible so that whenever you are picking, you are getting a little strength at the same time. Because the str points are so low (1 point per pick), it makes sense to get it early so it is almost an after thought while you are playing through the game.

lockpicking is easy, all you need is 100+ lockpicks and a decent stealth gear. After that all you need to do is to go around and unlock peoples houses at night, most village doors are very easy or easy. Once you've unlocked the doors, go in and wake up any person in the house and make them close the doors again. once they have gone back to sleep unlock all the doors again.. For hunting you can also level it by killing sheep, cows, horses, chickens and dogs with a bow.. doesn't have to be wild game. You can start leveling herbalism as soon as you start the game in the first village by picking nettles and they are very close to eachother.. For pickpocketing, just go in to a village and steal 1 item at the time from people when they are sleeping. Once you get high enough skill level you can do it with sleeping guards aswell. And for reading, according to 1 of its perks you can also level reading by reading shrines and graves stones.

[@DaveTheAussie1985]

I was looking for someone to have said this before i posted the same thing. lol

[@fvansoldt]

"All you need is 100+ lockpicks". That must be the lousiest advice given ever. If you start you can hardly afford one lockpick. Just practice on the chest behind the Mill. It will be difficult in the beginning (with a controller), I had to practice a lot before mastering it. But after a while even the very hard ones are easy, just keep practicing.

[@lexas1]

Probably the single most useful how to video on the game, well done. Btw, to each his own, but for me the only way to play a game is to role play it. So yes, I might want to practice lockpicking on the miller's chest because you could do this 'in reality', but attacking an unkillable npc over and over to artificially raise my stats? Nope, ruins the game.

[@mranthonymills]

In reality, you absolutely would do a bunch of practicing before doing something for real. No way would you be going out and trying to kill bandits after five minutes of practicing. If you had a master to practice with, you'd be doing that shit for weeks before you thought about risking your life. And you'd want to practice lockpicking a lot before trying it for real, too. This is one area where roleplaying and cheesing are pretty much the same thing.

[@ThePsiclone]

For anyone coming later... you can train to lvl 17 herbalism in Skalitz during the prologue, just pick everything, and take "leg day" perk you're training your strength at the same time. (you can also sell the herbs there for money too)

[@IgorZakharov85]

Best way to upgrade Lockpicking at early levels (1-5) - is 2 houses West of Rattay entrance, directly South from Bathhouses - during night they are locked with "Very Easy" locks. Open them, come to owners, wake them up with talk, exit house. They will lock it again. Repeat. After level 5 - you can learn the same way, but find places with harder locks (i.e. inside Rattay TownHall people are also sleeping but there are both Hard and Very Hard locks). You will require 11-13 lvl in Lockpicking for Very Hard locks though. Regarding Herbalism - if you pick 150-200 of Nettle - it will give PERMANENT +2 Vitality for the rest of the game (Hidden Perk). Perk +2 Charisma from Herbs available at level 5 - will start working if you have 30 herbs in inventory (i.e. Sage), 29 will not work.

[@Dan-ks9hp]

There are some locks that aren't possible to open until you reach higher lockpicking levels. Done plenty of Veryhard locks mind but some have a message popup.

[@oLawlieto]

Locks have hardcoded exp gains, and I'd recommend sticking with very easy/easy locks until you get to level 15. The difference in exp gain is 5-10 exp more for hard/VH compared to VE/easy.

[@oLawlieto]

@Andrew G has nothing to do about being a pussy.. Hell I've unlocked VH locks on level 1.. For grinding purpose / fast leveling.. Hard and VH locks are useless to use for just that reason.. I'd much rather unlock 5 VE locks and get 20-25 exp / lock rather then trying to find a H/VH door that will only give me 30-35 exp / unlock.

[@oLawlieto]

Because higher level means it will be alot easier to pick harder locks.. And then there are ofc ppl who are going for the max every skill level achievement. And by the looks of it you don't so I really don't understand why you even care.. seeing how the OP gave a tip on how to do that for just that reason.

[@oLawlieto]

The doors you say reset "after a bit" only gets re-locked if an NPC opens and close it again. If an NPC never access a locked door or chest that you have unlocked, it will never get re-locked again. so your claim is false. And again this is for skill level grinding purposes not for casual gaming.. So I really don't understand why you even bother commenting on a video made for that purpose.. I guess you just wanted to brag about being able to unlock Very hard locks at lvl 6, even tho the locks themself are RNG and can all be unlocked at lvl 1.

[@CrymsAI]

You can train lockpicking on the chest the Miller first introduces you to it on behind the Miller's house near Rattay. You pick it, open it, close it, walk around the corner and out of sight of it and go back. It's easy or very easy, but for the first 5-6 levels you can raise it much more quickly early on and with nearly zero chance of being caught.

I train sneaking, lockpicking and pickpocketing all at the same time. Wait until night in smaller hamlets with less guards. Most housing has easy or very easy locks to pick, and maybe 2 rooms with 1 to 2 people sleeping in them. You can pick door locks in the homes as well as chests. You can then pick a pocket, sneak to the next room, pick another pocket and just go back and forth. You dont even need to steal anything when you pick a pocket. You just need to start the minigame, then remove your hand from their pocket. I tend to train drinking and reading at the same time. You can overeat with alcohol while you are sitting on your bed or in your room, then read for 2-4 hours. Finish the book, and drink some more. Just be careful about blacking out. I know you get robbed if you black out, but I dont know if that happens when you are in your own room.

I leveled herbalism to 15 or 16 in skall before handing in the quest to father, you can also get some coin and gear for the merchants there. Its maybe worth doing as the clock hasn't started in game so you can get the skill for no time investment. Similarly you can tickle the combat master during the chain portion hitting one time pausing and hitting again you can gain combat xp, again this is before the clock has started so maybe worth the extra hassle and care required.

Also the clock hasn't started as far as I know once you get to Rattay. Just don't go talk to Sir Radish(I know, I know) and go around doing some of the things you want to do. Warning, combat will be difficult as many of the oppenents you'll fight have combat training and you don't so no dodge, blocks, or ripostes for you.

[@RealLofiVibes]

I found out you can level stealth too in skall. Slowly but you can right before you enter the main part of town there a guy looking at a bunch of hay he never moves never looks back so you can keep knocking him out.

[@Targa7W]

Nice, just need to find the lockpicks now :)

[@nicholasholloway8743]

Targa7W yes, agreed... best way to start it out. I mean you don't get alot from the leg day perk which makes it more effective in the beginning, this has helped me get to 5 strength before prologue ends

[@erikred9927]

Targa7W that's exactly what i did

[@Rustie3000]

super easy way to train reading is after you learned it through the quest, sneak into the Rattay Town Hall and the Sasau Monestary Library and steal all lore books (NOT skill books that train a skill and at least one copy of each, getting/reading duplicates doesn't advance your reading skill) and then go to one of your beds where you have the best bonus on reading and just flip through all of the lore books once. Other than skill books you don't have to take hours to study them, just choose a book from your inventory, flip through the pages and then move on to the next. This also works for all Treasure Maps, they also count towards reading. That way you get your reading to around lvl 10-12 in no time.

[@Andrew-ih2gz]

I know it's a little late to say this, but I find the lodgings east of Rattay the best for training stealth. You rent a room for 2 grochen, then at midnight, sneak into the surrounding barns and knock out the townspeople. There are 9-10 people there who you can knock out and train it.

[@antonfilimonov9131]

It's going to help me, thanks

[@paddyduarte236]

Lockpicking... There is a tower in western Rattay behind a church. Inside it, there is Very Hard chest, which always locks itself after opening... There is minimum lockpicking skill needed (i think 13 - 15) to open it... It's the way to make it to 20.

[@callumgarbutt2486]

if you spend you time at the beginning of the game collecting herbs you can choose the flower power perk which increases your charisma with all npcs in the game. you need to have enough fragrant flowers in your inventory for the perk to be activated

*Hunting is a very fast way to earn money.* Go to the Area where you were hunting with Sir Capon. There are Roe deer, boar, and Red deer hunting areas close to each other. Boar brings the most Gold by weight. Hunt as much as you can carry. Use the horse to get as fast to Uzhitz as possible. Meat spoils fast and that lowers its value. Go to the Tavern in Uzhitz first to cook the meat and get rid of the “stolen” tag. Then go to the trader in Uzhitz. He usually has a lot of money (1-2K) and if you are on good terms with him and have a decent reputation in Uzhitz, you can earn 600-700 Groschen in one trip. Hunting and selling meat gets significantly easier and more profitable when you use Hunting perks like "Tanner" for the extra coin selling the skin, "Wild at Heart" so game doesn't run away so easily and "Salty", so meat doesn't spoil so fast. That way, you can afford decent equipment in no time.

[@draanosalkeir4218]

Training maintenance is second only to herbalism in ease to train. You only need one sword, any sword will do. The grinding wheel can damage blades as well as sharpening them. In Rat I got a hunting sword of some bandit and then proceeded to grind the edge off "angle for black smoke" and resharpen the same sword until my maintenance skill was high enough to make repair kits useful (i.e. allowing you to repair anything over 70% back to full).

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

Draanos Alkeir that minigame is pretty easy tbh, got 100% first try (lucky), but I usually get then to 85-98%

[@thant0s]

An even faster method if you have plenty of money already, is to load up on damaged armor / weapons / clothing from bandits, etc., and buy a bunch of repair kits to spam them all to fully repaired. Early on your skill won't be high enough to repair things even halfway damaged useful with kits, but once you start going, it immensely outpaces sitting down at a grinding wheel.

[@apollo6318]

Draanos Alkeir Draanos Alkeir hey 👋 I was wondering what level in maintenance do u need to be to repair weapons with conditions below 50%?????

[@draanosalkeir4218]

It maxes at 20 and that lets you do 60 and up. I would guess the thinking is that if you want max gold for your loot you need to kill quickly without overly damaging the enemies gear, and your own gear should be fixed every 3 fights or so. Oh and avoid the gear damage perks, if your good then you don't need them to will fights and all they do is lower the groshen you get from loot.

[@richardfarrer5616]

Now I've only done a little smithing myself, but you would end up with a dagger with very low temper if you tried that in reality. Surely the devs haven't missed that opportunity.

[@madladhobson]

For lock picking I found a chest that locks as soon as you pick it. It’s a very hard chest and it is in Rattay in the tower at the side of the church that is near the main square. I levelled lock picking up from level 11 to 13 in 5 minutes

[@derOeffes]

There are NPCs giving pickpocket related quests (go to person X, retrieve something from their inventory, not necessarily by pickpocketing and returning to the quest giver) which each give 1+ to pickpocketing. I've found two so far, one in Rattay, one in Sasau.

[@IdAefixBE]

Regular mating gives a very welcome boost in vitality experience aswell ;) It's funny to see how playstyle can influence your stats. I still have not gotten Bernard back to Rattay yet and my fighting-related skills are a joke compared to yours but I got to a solid 16 speech and that's the only stat I haven't specificaly trained ^^ Drinking gets up fast once you get brewing and using your potions. The perks are very useful in lowering the drunk downsides (if you use alchemy a lot, hungover and alcoolism are little to no problem anymore) and pulling extra buffs for being drunk. After that you can easily remain drunk at all time for glorious drunken master style.

[@w1ck3ds1ck]

Most useful comment in the whole section. Why grind away for hours to have all your stats on highest level, have the most money and so on, just to play the rest of the game on very easy mode?? Just play however you like and you will gradually get better at all the things you like doing in the game... I see no point in grinding all those stats, just to use that one skill the few times you'll need it. Investing so many hours into grinding instead of just playing the game (sidequesting, RPing, etc.) is unreasonable, to put it mildly. The moment that I got hooked to the game was that time you get drunk with the Uzhitz priest, fuck some wenches in the bell tower, then hit the bell just for the luls, keeping the village awake for the whole night. And then help him give a sermon the following morning, both of you still hungover as fuck. Glorious character design!

[@stupidhandles]

Tuncher Aydanov my fave moment was that piss up with the priest, totally didn't expect any of it. And seducing lady Stephanie, I said Henry's gonna shag her jokingly, then the boy did!

[@thant0s]

*Correction* : You are unable to auto-brew potions until at least reaching lv10 Alchemy and allocate a point into Routine I. Until you get here, yes, you will have to manually brew each time. Further, you are able to craft all potions from the very beginning of the game so long as you yourself have a guide and know *how* to do so; the recipe sheets in-game are just a matter of "convenience", which is complicated by the Reading skill. You can immediately start brewing x3 potions every brew attempt; each mistake during brewing will remove one potion from the result, until you're left with an Unknown Potion worth next to nothing, so follow the directions carefully to maximize output. Grabbing Routine I at lv10 Alchemy, even though you only auto-brew one at a time, is still much faster at leveling your Alchemy skill, and you'll reach lv13 and Routine II very quickly, which auto-brews x3 potions. Note that as far as I can tell, you cannot auto-brew any potion you have not *perfectly brewed manually* at least once before.

For hunting, boars are the best way to level up quickly. If you’re near a boar hunting spot there are usually 3-5 of them. if you find a deer spot nearby you can travel between the two and clear them out repeatedly.

[@brandonpumphrey7372]

Protip : if you untarget and look down at people's shoes when fighting and swing as you move into range they never seem to block. I cut down 4 plated dudes in 1-2 swings each once I got St. Michael's Sword from the Rattay swordsmith. It is definitely a cheese method I try to only use if I'm about to lose but when you're just farming bandits just chop em up.

[@younoobgaming4239]

I killed 30+ guys in the mission Night Raid using basically the same trick. Hold the unlock combat buttton, and use overhand swings while looking just above them. The AI doesn't know how to fight you if you're not targeting and not looking directly at them.

[@nicholasholloway8743]

Brandon Pumphrey very interesting, I do the same by holding b while facing them running backwards to force them to chase, then slash or smash em, they never block, I must try your method to see which is nominal for my use

[@andreaw2053]

Lockpicking is easiest to level in Rattay because it has a lot of doors and chests of various levels. Take a few in-game nights (when people lock their doors and shops are closed) and go around opening every front door you can find - just be careful not to get spotted. If you're feeling risky you can go inside and start picking chests too.

[@noordinaryzoot3722]

Just saying, for levelling up the lock-pick skill, a good way to get up a couple of levels is to ask the miller at Ratay that looks after you, right after you get beaten up in Skaliz. Ask him to train you in lock-picking and he will bring you to a chest that has an easy lock on it that won't break your lock picks and re locks every time you unlock it. FREE EXP!

[@krock2894]

I just started playing this game, and found lockpicking very hard. I trained on that chest and failed so many times it eventually did use up all my lockpicks and he just walked away and wouldn't give me more. Luckily I had a save close by to restart. So it is still a good way to train but not infinite if you suck lol.

[@monkeytico2046]

@@krock2894 I recommend watching this video I was level 1 when I started doing what the video says and now I'm level 12! It took me like an hour but it's really worth the time

Up, it was the same for me, just recently started playing and i was completely dumbfounded when i saw the lockpicking-method. Bring used to Fallout and Skyrim, this was a completely different scenario. But, grinding it out, training with miller Peshek and taking the right perk-skills kinda loosened it up; Now i'm picking Very Hard locks and hardly breaking a sweat! 👍🤓👍

[@Luciferofom]

Two points: Level alchemy first! It makes everything else go from terrible to okay and it's an amazing way to get money. There's a station behind the Rattay apothecary. You can look at the recipes online. Second point: to level Alchemy, brew marigold decoctions in obscene numbers. They have so many good uses.

[@la8ball]

You can level agility very fast by walking into a log or something and spamming the jump button. It gives exp and do not having to go through the animation

[@Weirdaman]

More tips: Str: str based melee weapons and fight at any given opportunity (I recommend focusing on long swords as St. George's Sword is OP later on) Agi: agi based swords and bows and fight or poach at any given opportunity (gather arrows from bandits or the game, if possible get stats high enough for cuman bow - it has nice thread bars that help with aiming) Vit: sprint/jump/vault everywhere, general depletion of vitality bar (you can hold arrows and RMB to put them aside) Spe: use every possible speech option, question NPCs, haggle for lots of money (combine silver tongue with final offer - you can lower the haggle near to the minimum then settle for final offer), if possible trade with specialists ie. sell food to Inn keepers or game (once a bit spoiled and not 'stolen') to butchers, weapons to arms smiths etc. Def: wear heavy armor & shield and block/parry/absord lots of damage - it goes really fast by itself War: deal lots of dmg to humans by combat (stealth kills/KO doesn't count, game doesn't count) Any weapon: use any weapon and fight with it (for bows I recommend logs game in Ledechko, v. easy 50g every win) Alch: youtu .be/pZInG91VwvI I gave a comment there Drink: drink XD Herb: farm everything, neddles preferred as a hidden perk will give you +2 vit, most herbs on fields near monastery Horse: no fast travel, ride horses XD Hound: spam good boy dialogue - 20 minutes of keyboard bashing Hunt: poach - you get XP by killing and looting game separately Locks: find a guide xD remember to open every v. easy lock encountered Maintenance: sharpen swords before selling them, if possible buy or steal repair kits and waste them everywhere Pickpocket: spam Peszek to lvl 5, get crowd control & easy way out to make it easier, steal from sleeping beggars, you can steal multiple items at once by timer cost, later on you will love it: pay trainers for skill levels ie. 1,5k for masters and then take it back - huge amount of $ stolen = tons of XP Read: buy/steal books and open them, perform a quest for it, remember to get guides and study them to boots other skills Stealf: stealf xD if you are one of the AFK goofers you can clamp your W key somehow and sneak into a wall nearby enemies or in guarded areas - just go into a house and bump into a wall etc.

[@Weirdaman]

More more tips: Remember that every skill has cap of 20, no matter if base or with buffs/perks. Meaning that once you reach basic ie. 20 str perk Brute will not give you anything but still apply penalties of -1 spe -1 cha. Later in the game remember to reset your skills with a reset potion (forgot name) and to ignore perks that give you useless bonuses (due to cap) in exchange for penalties (ie. Brute, local hero).

[@dylanpullock6972]

Alchemy you don't necessarily need to be able to read in game to level it up. Buy marigold decoction book from Alchemy vendor in rattay, open book decipher steps yourself (if henry hasn't learnt to read yet, each letter in the words ar jumbled so its actually easy to make out the instructions tnru is turn etc.) Marigold is easiest decoction to make its literally water in cauldron, add 1 nettle, add 2 marigold, pour out into vial. There is actually a boiling step but but you can actually get away with not boiling the water. Lockpicking, there is a practice chest behind rattay mill. You can pick it, open it then close it and it will lock again. You can repeat as much as you want. Pickpocket training can be done solely on peshek. This also ups stealth which isnt mentioned when vid talks about using peshek

To level up lockpicking, just go to any shop at night time where they have a hard lock at the main door and keep practicing. Once unlocked, go to their room and wake them up they will come after you and close the main door so its locked again. Keep doing it again and again. Once you get skilled enough, you will unlock the door even before they go back to their room so leveling up will become a lot faster.

[@NopeKickEm]

Also I’m not sure if this was changed from some update (I’m on Xbox one) but you can progress your lock pick much easier if you practiced lock picking with the Miller in Rattay (your home). He has a dialogue where you can “train” (not pay and raise skill) you into lock picking a chest over and over. There’s many videos about it that I suggest you look into it and prob put an annotation on top of the video or something. Anyway just letting you know, Btw keep up the videos 👍🏼

[@CombatJak]

Sorry but this is going to be a bit long-winded. For early stealth levels you can go to the bath house near the Miller's Place at Rattay at night. The door by the river stays unlocked or at least it did for me. Go in there and there are two people upstairs to knock out in their sleep. You can take their keys and hit the building directly across from that one where there are four more people sleeping. Once they wake up they will all switch beds and go back to sleep and you can do it again. Also since it is so close to the Miller you can go to sleep for an hour to save in between. I think this got me from Level 2 to level 8 in 1 in-game night.

Since they fixed the lockpicking now. It is easier. but you can go to that chest that you train with the Miller in Rattay (where your bed is) and you can practice on that chest over and over. (as long as you have the picks) EDIT: This has since been patched. but you can still gain about 3 levels at the beginning which helps immensely early on.

[@mustakragen6103]

Regarding Vitality - there is a way to optimize "up and down" strategy by pushing yourself to the wall under the roof which is lower than your jump height. This will lead you to series of "short jumps" which will drain your stamina very fast and help to speed process up a little. For Lockpicking - when you get your first lockpick traning from a Peshek(I have no idea what is his English name) you can pick traning chest several times(pick it, open it, look to another direction and repeat the process) this chest will runs out after you raise your picking skill to 3 or 4 which is nice start.

[@depress0coffee]

Find a bandit - fight him - when they surrender / ask for mercy - crouch and then knock them out from behind - then loot / murder + Warfare / whatever weapon + Stealth + Weapon again

[@zoot_.3063]

one step further is to pickpocket before knocking them out. Even if you get caught they wont run.

[@sjtimmer7]

For lockpicking: do the chest at the miller first, and after you cannot unlock it anymore(10 times I believe is the max), go out at night, and open doors in villages. next night, they will be locked again, so you go again.

[@drakmear]

[@ZethHolyblade]

Not sure if you mentioned it but regarding novice lockpicking training with the Miller npc, I noticed that on the PC version you can train on the same box from Lvl1 to Lv3 repeatedly. You unlock the box, open then close it, step back and go at it again. I have yet to pay him for higher lvl lockpicking training but perhaps the same thing can be done. Also, *something useful* I noticed is that the lock itself and its surrounding ring have their metal texture displaying peculiar markings and hyper or decolored spots that can be used as *a reference to keep the sweetspot aligned* while rotating the lock.

They weren't fully added to the game, there's a tree there but if you pay someone to train it you don't seem to get it to go up in levels. You can't sheathe them so your weapon is always out until you drop it. You can't transfer them to your horse as loot either. It is something hopefully they add in a patch or DLC but for now it seems they couldn't get it finished in time for launch.

You should at least be able to stow pole weapons on your horse, that'd make sense IMO.

[@AurjayGames]

Love the video. I do have one thing that I disagree with though, lockpicking. Lockpicking is not hard at all. The problem is that people associate the ease of lockpicking with games like Skyrim and it really isn't the same way. When it says easy, people think, that's my starting level, and it isn't. There are various doors throughout the world that are Very Easy. It is possible to jump in and start off with lockpicking on easy locks, but it is more difficult for a few levels.

[@Shadic24367]

Best way to level stealth is at the beginning of the game in Skalitz, make sure you start off picking both strength options, knock out the guy near the hay (very hard to get caught) then go gather all the plants in the town, once you're full, put it all in the chest at home, knock out the guy again, herbs again, rinse repeat, then you can vault over stuff, if you get hungry you can sell some of the herbs, if you wanna level speech sell em one at a time and haggle for each one, buy food, haggle that too

The miller in rattay has a chest je initially trains you on for lockpicking. This can be lockpicked repeatedly by opening it, then stepping back, it will close by itself, then you can approach it and lockpick it again. I raised my lockpicking to 12 in about an hour or two

Only thing I hate about this game. Is the locking picking. It is way too hard for a console player. Like you stated. As the whole is either too twitchy or not sensitive enough to make it reasonable. The rest of the game is rough but it is playable. Combat is rather rewarding...as one if you do well. You live. Two, if you do really well. You feel great! Even though you may be missing an arm. Don't worry. Wearing Black Knight. Tis a Flesh Wound. (Seriously...I get the fact this game is banking on realism and such. I'd kill to just have that Easter Egg Armor Set and I know we are pretty much in the wrong area in history but still...I'd kill for it.)

Talk to the miller and ask to practice lock picking. You can do it infinitly along with pick pocketing. It levels slowly but you can farm them up for an hour or two and get fairly high level.

Ive maxed out my lockpicking skill using this. as soon as your able to auto pick easy locks, you just unlock, open, exit menu, unlock..... takes some time once your around lvl 10 to level up, but it was completely free for me and i maxed it in about 2 and a half hours. Also, i believe if you do any other missions for this miller after you get access to the infinite lock box, your not able to practice on it any more and will jave to pay for training

[@bluezero2xxx]

[@sniperlif3]

Lockpicking to max at the miller at rattay, when he teaches you how and tell you to pick the lock, you lock pick, open it, close it and wait, it will relock. Also, the same place, you can do pickpocketing with the miller.

Lockpicking guide: 1: buy lockpicks ^^ the first lockpicks are in talberg at the standart Vendor. there you can buy 10 lockpicks. After "bury your parents", you wake up in the miller's mill. Ask him about stolen goods and where to sell them. That will open his Vendor part and there you can buy 20 lockpicks every 2 days. Same at the other miller's. collect 50-100 Lockpicks. 2: go to the first Miller. Ask him "can you show me how to use lockpicks". He call you behind his Mill to a chest and give you 3 Lockpicks. There you can constantly Lockpick the chest, close the chest, get the cursor of the chest and back and the chest is locked again. there you can lockpick all the time to level what ever you want depending on how many lockpicks you carrying. you do the same with pickpocket. Stealing his Dagger again and again and your level in pickpocketing will increase fast.
