For example, if there is a nearby village producing grain, you want to set up a brewery to take advantage of the grain from that village, or a carpenter’s shop if there is a nearby village producing hardwood. It’s all down to the stability of the region you set up shops and the availability of matching resource to what you aim to produce out of it. You also need to keep feeding your army(assuming you have one), and I recommend if you are a heavy trader, keeping some scratch around to keep trading and trying to stem the bleeding from negative caravan cash flow with trade.įair disclaimer, as the article states, this game is still early access, I don’t know how much my game differs from another.įinal word on caravans though: once my caravan started profiting, it seems on average it pays for itself and more each trade.Īs far as trade is concerned, any resources in-game can be profitable. In my playthrough, I lost at least 3k if not more before the caravan started regularly trading, and the caravan didn’t start turning a true profit for at least another few days. Although it takes 15 or 16k to start the caravan, I HIGHLY recommend you save up at least four or five thousand over this amount, for a few different reasons.

I created my character with fairly high trade to start, finally saved up enough to buy a caravan, I hired Mavea the Black as my companion to run the caravan.

The 3 villages bound to Pen Cannoc are all Clay producers and Clay makes Pottery which means you will make a ton of cash early game and it’s safer than starting with a Caravan. Go to the city called ”Pen Cannoc” located in the Kingdom of Battania, take a walk through the town and go to the Pottery Shop and talk to the Shop Worker and buy the Pottery Workshop there.

they get the required material from the town as far as I know. Left is what they required, right is what they produce.
