How YOU can become a trading god FAST without ever leaving town | Mount and Blade Bannerlord

I need a new mic I know.
Also for the record if you didnt quite understand what I was on about with the trade profit and how the exp is gained.
A city is starving for some reason. Some crazy guy comes in and just gives them some javelins and takes all their food. They need food bad and will pay massively for it. You sell them idk.. 3 years worth of food all at once. Its insane. they have no clue what to do with it so they sell it off cheap. You then buy it back and then sell it back instantly, because again.. they are outta food.
Lets say you have 5000 grains. You sell the grains to the city. 5k grain is way too much. They only need.. 500 so they pawn off 4500 of it very cheap. You get it for a total of like.. idk 50k coins, but the first bit (the extra, that they dont need) is very cheap. 4 coins. 5 coins. Then you buy it ALL which they wanna keep some so they upcharge you for 10 or 11 coins. You close the trade screen. They need food again. You then take the food back to them, they are desperate for food and buy it at 13 coins until they get the amount they need and it goes down to 8 coins again or 4 if you sell them all 5000, but the thing is you profit on a small portion of it and since trade is calculated on the # of goods sold at an upcharge it doesnt lower the exp gained for the money you LOSE. Thats why this works.

I did kind of same thing with buying all food from city to make it starve, so loyalty drops and i make city to rebel and then i planned to take city from rebel to start my kingdom without making war with anyone. But i was cosnantly buying food from caravans and vilagers before they entered city and ofcourse used javelins to pay for it. at some point i got tired of clicking on food item in trading so i stared to just buy everything caravan had leaving them with 0 gold and javelin in inntory. and what happed is caravan had no money to buy anything in city and could not sell anything because city had not enoug maney to pay for that javelin, so caravan gets stuck in city, it never left it. so i kept doing that until ive trapped every caravan in game in that city. and because there were no trading at all, prices in world became super crazy. like beer in sargoth was 12 denars, i bought a lot and could sell it for 270 denars in any city that has no brewery. and also i made my own caravans with my companions and each of them was making me up to 5k denars a day.

Very interesting. Maybe I should give it a go and maybe make another video on it at some point- with your permission

[@user-fz2kv1sn1o]

@@Bokusa Sure, use this for your video, i think people should see what kind of mess u can make in game

[@roffels11-gamingandhistory69]

This is a genius approach! Make Calradia starv- eehhhh I mean "great" again. The only thing "great" will be my profits, though. :3

[@radiofrog]

One thing to keep in mind: I think It's best to get rid of the expensive stuff that you're flip-flopping. Armor, weapons, etc. I just went to a neighboring town and dumped it all there because otherwise it's too much loss on each flip. I'm still getting mad experience on just the horses, trade goods, and food with much smaller loss per flip.

[@samvos9060]

Easy (P2W) first xD Great video as always, you heartless monster

[@Ryzanify44]

Thanks for the tl;dr version

[@nobodyimportant4778]

This doesn't seem to do anything right now. The city starves and the prices never go into the green, even at super low prosperity

[@theclimbto1]

I'm going to pull some West Wing on you my dude, only as joking criticism. Something can not be rather unique. It's either unique, or it's not. Unique is one of a kind, you can't be 'rather one of a kind'. Loved the video. Sorry you're having issues with recording. Keep at it!

[@manthatsnice4233]

best way to make money is to make a whole lot of javelins then you make a party with a family member (brother or sister) speak with them and give them all the javelins they will sell them at 100% profit and the money will go directly to you ...DO NOT do it with any of your companions ... this works ONLY with family members... this will help you not run out of money when you try to do your trade skill grind ..hope it helps ya

[@MattHatter360]

Does it still work? Cause my family member's parties don't accept javelins sadly

[@teambellavsteamalice]

dude this tip is god like i do like now 500k+ every day

[@jgamer2228]

Javvies no longer fetch 100k per pop. It’s more like 14-15k depending on the smithing skill of the character who crafts it

[@ridskog]

Tried your method but with horses and got to 300 skill really easy. Not sure if you have to starve the city, but it's a bit more fun that way.

[@Bokusa]

glad it worked for you!

[@templar1115]

any recommendation on which city and how much starting capital I`ll need? :D

[@ridskog]

@@templar1115 I did it in lageta, but in kingdoms mod. Not sure how it works, but I think if you have 500 horses and then sell them all, then buy them again, you can sell them in green and make more skill. then repeat.

[@templar1115]

@@ridskog yeah, I just gave it a go, from what I can tell the only critical thing is that you need at least 2x more cheap horses than desert horses. literally any cheaper horse to manipulate the price, but they have to be much more or else its not giving any skill, it worked for me with 200x palfries and 100x desert horses, and I dont even have any perks to buy/sell animals or mounts...

[@ridskog]

@@templar1115 nice! Bottom line with this video is that you currently can do it without travelling around the whole map hundreds of times.

This still work? I’m currently trying to grind trade up to buy fiefs but damn my character is gonna die before he gets there

[@dwill9912]

I trade a lot to earn money in this game but at the end the best way on making money is smithy, with only 1 javelin i earn more than 100k. It even get too easy

[@Alrion1704]

@Bokusa there is a new exploit: buy 70* desert and 70 other t2 horses and go to a city with a good price like galend for desert horses *depends on how mutch the city needs till the price on your side becomes red (after that the game will not award you more xp for this deal) 1. sell desert horses till price is 1 sep bevor red (get ~10k xp) 2. sell other horses (desert horses getting cheaper) 3. buy desert horses back (your new price for game to calculate) 4. buy other horses back (to be able to repeat) 5. back to 1

[@Lyonatan]

It's not an exploit it's called economy...what ur doing is called xp trading, gives u good xp but u actually don't make that much money off it. This video as well it has nothing to do with exploiting, selling food to starving cities is a thing since day 1....

[@Bokusa]

did you watch the whole video

[@AndriiGryganskyi]

Can you do these circles in the same city, or should you go to another city to repeat your trading cycle?

[@kay6730]

um way to much time you say ? xd blacksmith> 10 m gold for 30 min of gameplay then sell and buy towns and u ll level up in 5 minor less

[@undogmatic]

If one is willing to use glitches, why not just cheat with a command?

[@Bokusa]

Its not a glitch its a feature

[@orvarkonsberg1963]

Javelin exploit is basically infinite money and obviously broken af so why not just cheat give money with commands because that is litterary the same

[@teambellavsteamalice]

Cool option. But instead of this, on my next playthrough I'm probably gonna edit the start with the console. I've done this before, with the mods cultured start, bannerlord tweaks and improved garrisons and gave myself some starting money and a little army. But a few wrong (default) settings completely ruined the experience and it felt like cheating and too easy. Then I became my own kingdom without allies and got nonstop war with everyone and it became too hard. I don't want the grind of trading with a low skill at the start. Almost nothing is profitable, so the skill almost never rises. If I don't find a mod to my taste I'll just bump tradeskill to max with the console cheat. I think bartering fiefs should be default anyway, if at a very disadvantageous trade penalty that drops with relation, skill and how close a castle is to the nobles and his/her faction's lands. I'll try and not abuse the bartering. To save a lot of micromanaging I'll use my fave mod, improved garrisons. But to add a big challenge also enable it for the AI. Probably I'll pick less intrusive settings, auto recruit (up to 100) but slow leveling and only up to tier 3.

[@Lyonatan]

Complaining about how boring is trading while having smithing on 280....laaaaaaame....

[@Bokusa]

280 smithing is a very very fast skill to train. Check out my making money quick video it talks about smithing! I've maxed it out several times in my game time.

[@dans3718]

@@Bokusa Yeah, smithing is a great way to level up companions and family members too. Don't actually get any other skills in the process, but do get those skills you want set up so they can learn them very fast with practice.

Game is broken. Exploits too easy. game looks tough initially but it's actually very, very easy. To the Point of boredom. Lot of potential for a game like this to make it phenomenal and earn it's 9/10 rating (I would give it 5/10 because of it's broken-ness). Devs should listen. Keep making exploit videos to show how easy everything is. Waste of money if you want a complete game (I know it's early access).

[@mrookeward]

Just don't play the exploits. If you thinks a part is broken or 'cheating', don't play that exploit - just because you know an exploit doesn't mean you have to use it.
