Narcissistic, greedy boomer-like going through midlife crisis.
my main income was selling loot with the perks relating to it; kill bandits>loot gear>repair with kits/sharpen swords then sell, had some overencumbered walks half the map(which levels up strength) before getting the horse/its inventory. now I have 15k+ groschen and probably more than that in stolen goods from trosky castle in stash
Do you have a single fact to back this up?
He's stated that as far as he's concerned, he's doing Diversity Right.
My advice to stick to the MQ pertains for the very early game. If you're so good you can kill reliably bandits in your beggar rags and with your basic bitch hunting sword then selling loot is ofc superior. It'll not be the case for the vast majority of ppl tho.
I mean, combat is much easier than the first game. No more bandits masterstriking you constantly, they all wait for their turn and basically never attack all at once, and I feel like the window to perfect block is big af compared to KCD1. You can just take whatever weapon, perfect block all the hits easily, and just hit from the unprotected sides, and it's super easy to smash all the bandits right after starting the game.
The big problem isn't making money, it's keeping yourself from making too much.barely picked handful of locks before trosky castle, by the time I'm out I'll be a master thief
very thievery incentivizing design; steal blacksmith's inventory and stash it next door in your room lol, half the rest of the game I'll be stash<->merchant running...
You get bonus speech, strength, agility, charisma, all up to +4 simultaneously. Drink is widely available and very cheap, even if you buy it instead of just steal or loot it. My Henry is walking around sauced most of the time actually, and before important conversations the speech bonus can reach up to +4 if I can get all the way up the positive side of the buff.
The very early game where I stopped doing the main quest for a while before you're actually supposed to stop (so after you get released from the stocks with nothing and not after Jaunt when you get a horse and some basic gear) was great in not even having money to sleep at an inn, not having the skills to rob anyone, and not having any armor or a decent weapon to fight bandits. So when you're just starting out, I fully get the "how to make moneys" question. I spent the first few days just roaming the woods naked in search of beladonna just to be able to save.All crime is village-specific, you can rob one village blind and then just not go back there. Or wait a few days for the "stolen" tag to dissipate from your loot. Or only steal groschen, since it can't be flagged as stolen. To be honest I'm struggling to come up with better advice since I had like 30k by the time of the semine wedding and cannot fathom anyone struggling to make money in this game.Stealing sucks. If anyone spots you at any time within like 12 hours of committing a crime, you get blamed for it. If you want to steal shit, start at night outside of town, and knock out every guard you see without being spotted. Then make sure everything you steal gets fenced ASAP. If you get spotted with local stolen items, no matter how much time has passed, you'll be pinched.
If you want some easy money in the beginning--
-Go along the south side of the pond to the west. In the bathing spot there should be a sack with some Groschen in it. There's also a treasure map to a pot along the south bank between the herb lady and Trosky with some more money. This requires no skill/combat to get
-Outside of Trosky to the north is a tree with a bench and a book. Read the book and then sell it to the scribe for some cash. Also throw rocks at every bird's nest you see, some of them have valuable jewelry in them.
-Along the north side of the pond where you were ambushed at the beginning there are some bandits now. They should be pretty easy, but if you're having trouble try stealth KOs. Loot their chest (look for keys on their bodies) and they should have two horses, take the one that is more valuable to the nomad camp and they will buy it for 300-400 groschen. Sell all the extra armor for money too.
I found stealing isn't worth the hassle personally, after clearing 3-4 bandit camps I was swimming in loot.
Circled spots are free money, arrow is the bandits
When I got it, I just stashed it all in the chest (except for the dagger). It was way too strong for the entire Trosky map.
Do they give you Pebbles for free after The Jaunt?
There's a persuasion check to get her for free. Not sure what they ask for if you fail tho.
Even then, you are immediately pointed to two people who can give you a bed, a pot with food, and paid work.
I failed that check and later haggled the 150 price down to 110
You'd think you were dealing with the gypsos not a respectable stable master.I failed that check and later haggled the 150 price down to 110
But that smelled like the "MAIN QUEST" so I deliberately avoided going to either of them for the longest time.
Nah, I generally only loot gloves and helmets with the highest value/weight, and even then I stopped bothering after awhile. You get straight groschen from robbery, especially pickpocketing. Some people walk around with several hundred for some reason, and everyone has at least 5-10, and every merchant has a very hard chest somewhere near them with their full inventory (including cash)The very early game where I stopped doing the main quest for a while before you're actually supposed to stop (so after you get released from the stocks with nothing and not after Jaunt when you get a horse and some basic gear) was great in not even having money to sleep at an inn, not having the skills to rob anyone, and not having any armor or a decent weapon to fight bandits.

But once you get your bearings, I agree, money stops being a problem. However, what the actual fuck, 30k? I'm in the Kuttenberg region and I've never had more than 5k in my pocket. At this point I barely loot anything except for some select piece of gear that might sell well later. And that's due to the simple reason of being limited by the money merchants have. First map has like 2 merchants that will buy anything and one blacksmith who will buy weapons and armor. And they rarely have over 300 groschen on them at any time. When you clean them out, it takes several days for them to restock. And they're spread out so it takes forever to even get to them. Were you just picking up everything and then skipping time to sell it, or what? Or am I missing some easy way to sell your loot?

I immediately disliked that guy, must have been his haircut.aYou'd think you were dealing with the gypsos not a respectable stable master.
Ok, I'm with you on this. But why now, why not in 2018 or even earlier? Do you think it's his age? He believes himself wiser for adopting views he has been so outspoken against in the past?
One way to exploit the perks is to get the "Keen Eye" which gives you Craftsmanship XP when a smith is repairing armor or weapons, and then train with weapons and armor so you can damage them, and get the armor repaired in order to level up your Craftsmanship as a byproduct of the weapons training. With the haggling element to repairs you also level up Speech I guess.
I was curious if there is reactivity from the Troskowitz scribe if you show up and talk to him wearing the armor. But he doesn't comment at all
They don't just not deny, they admit it if you choose correct dialog options.i did the exact samethey never really denied being at skalitz, which is the same as saying they were there. i mean c'mon, you wake up and they're all asleep. they're asking for it
You make your life 200% harder if you don't set up your base at Tachov or at the mill from the get go.
As ppl already said ITT, combat is much more stat-based than it seems. So hitting mobs in the unprotected side doesn't work if your weapon skills are lower than theirs because they'll just block everything anyway. And they'll keep blocking until you run out of stamina and/or weapon durability and then you're fucked.
I had a spoiler from a vid before release and swapped Pebbles in the story with the other horse, Idk it was a bad call now cos Pebbles' hidden perk activated way before and new horse's stats are shit compared to Pebs with the perk and immediately after I lost a race, woulda lost a second one right after that if not for corner cutting. Will deal with the trash horse till herring becomes red herringYou'd think you were dealing with the gypsos not a respectable stable master.I failed that check and later haggled the 150 price down to 110

Wait is that true? Herring gets levelled up as well? Hahahahaha.Will deal with the trash horse till herring becomes red herring
