Mount and Blade II Trading Guide: Bannerlord

Trading is an essential Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord process. When you first start the game, it is a great way for you to quickly earn some cash after attacking looters and taking everything they have. You can bring this loot back to town, and if the merchant has enough coins to satisfy your offer, you can walk away with cash. But there are ways to further profit from trading in all Bannerlord realms.

Trading is pretty straightforward. Whenever you enter a town, castle, or one of the larger settlements in the game, you can visit the town merchant to see what they have to offer. They should have matching items that you can choose to buy, and you can freely gift them anything in your inventory. The prices of each item vary, and when you offer to sell anything, the total gold given or received decreases depending on how much you buy in the same transaction. You can break a sale by first buying what you want from the trader and then selling to him. It doesn't matter which way you do it, but in the lower part of the screen, in the middle, you should see how much money you are receiving or giving at the end of the transaction.

However, not all cities have a merchant. If you don't see a shopkeeper in one castle or town, feel free to visit another to find what someone wants to buy your items from.

Now each item has a different price. You can see this price when you hover over it in your inventory or in the merchant's inventory. If you hover over it enough, you can also see information about the product and how it is received elsewhere. For example, if you sell oil to the trader in Ath Cafal for 114, you can see that you are making a profit in the region in general, because in the neighboring province of Lageta, you can buy it for 100.

If you were to visit Lageta, buy all the oil, and then bring it to the trader in Ath Cafal, you could make an overall profit from the transaction. Still, it costs you time and days to travel between these regions when you hover over an item, especially Misc. goods, such as beer, oil, grain, etc. You can see opportunities to make a profit between cities by personally traveling between them. Sometimes the small description of your item's price tells you that you can potentially sell it elsewhere for a higher profit. If you're willing to venture this way to sell it, it's worth it.

If you are looking to improve your character's trading skills, you need to build caravans and sell items at a profit. To do this, you must first buy them in one province and then sell them elsewhere. For example, you can buy a perishable item, such as meat, grain, or a useful material, such as hardwood or wrought iron, from a merchant in one city, and then bring it back to another.

However, you don't want to buy all of the items. The more you buy from a trader the more expensive it becomes and the more you sell to a trader the less it costs because you are selling it in bulk. You want to find a way where what you buy from one trader doesn't deteriorate in value compared to what you sell to the buying trader in another city, and you make it worth traveling between. both places.

Going through this process in Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord takes time. You don't want to spend too much time buying everything from a merchant, and you don't want to spend too much time traveling between locations. Instead, focus on balancing an item's value between two known locations, recheck their overall distance, and see if you can make a profit. For those looking to focus on increasing their character's trade capacity, this and Trailers are a great method. That takes time.
