Can you do an update on this video for the current version of the game, with tavern and copper/bronze tools? Curious if the efficiency has changed with all the current changes to the economy. Love the video!
Another helpful video. Am I better just having a wife or wife plus workers? If workers hired, should they mine for iron, I craft and buy food? More people, more firewood and food needed. Looking forward to trying different combinations.
As far as workers go, you definitely want them for farming, hunting, fishing, woodcutting, and iron mining. So far, those are the only ones that i know for sure help you in some way.
get a wife because you need an heir, put one person with good skill on the mine and change the mine to just iron, (salt and stone if you need it ) a level 10 person will get you 40 iron per day , then have 2 people making iron arrows in the smithy, they will produce 500 gold worth of arrows a day and you don't have to do anything .
With the same 10 iron you use to make 50 iron arrows ($7x50=$350), you can make 5 iron hammers ($70x5=$350), but you only spend 5 sticks for the hammers, and 50 sticks + 50 feathers for the arrows.
do you have plans to make an update for the massive change in the economy that they did with version 0.4.x.x? there isn't anything you can gather yourself anymore that is worth a gold all by itself, they are all worth fractions of gold.
Might be worth mentioning, the best way I've found to make huge amounts of money super fast super early. Basically as soon as you have 4 workers and a farm you can grow 2 12x12 flax fields. Literally one harvest is over 10k in profit. And you can hold the entire profit in a single inventory. I ended up with ~1k flax grain(4 each), and 170 linen cloth(32 each). You can do that once a year.
Yeah, flax is awesome for making money. I think iron arrows still makes more, but flax takes very little effort, as you can have people farm it for you, then you just thresh it and spin it.
I am up too 100 k gold just from arrows and grain , I have a huge field of rye oats and wheat , I have 9 farmers all the time , field workers or making grain , i demolished my hunting lodge (extra house )and just have 2 fisherman making salted fish , 1 miner (#10) on iron , and 2 dudes making arrows all day , i have 12 goats and sheep pumping out wool, to supply the 2 girls in the sewing house. because my unigost story disappeared I have nothing to do , but sell first day of each season . getting a bit boring now, have everything built , we need more BTW great game, hope the devs really do a great update , would love to see a castle build and defending a city
how do you get a lot of fertilizer? i guess buying it its not an option am i right? i mean for 2x 12x12 you would need 2880g for fertilizer, then if you also need the seeds at start, its even more
@@origamikira you don't need fertilizer ATM, the farms are not at that point yet , but in the future you will need a pig pen to collect manure then craft it in the barn
I would really love to see you stream or record a let's play of this game. The short and informative videos are obviously super awesome and helpful. But I would love to see how you play the game in real time. Thanks for the videos so far, good job.
Flax sows in spring and harvest in summer.... its that one season thing then you get a farmer processing and tailor making linen thread for another season or 2 and then you have half a year to make iron tools and food
Looks like you played and did videos for some of my favorites of the past few years(Elden Ring, MB 2: BannerlorT, Medieval Dynasty). Got a like 'n' subscribe from me sir! I'll see if this info is still relevant since this just got released on console xbox gamepass. Thanks for the content!
As of Nov 2021: Best profit for time and effort spent from the start of the game up until you start mining iron is Stone Skinning Knife. It's on a whole other level compared to any other item since they cost so little materials to make and are also very light. You just walk around a village picking up all the sticks and stones and make easy $$$. I've had up to 70 knives on me at one time to sell at 20g a piece.
did you take in account how much you can sell salt for because you don't need just meat you need salted meat so if you didn't calculate the cost of salt your going to be off. things that require roasted meat or dried meat would be better as long as you stay away form the salted meat.
How to the cooked foods compare in terms of weight? Because how much you can carry makes a big difference in how much you can make. Some that makes you a little less but you can carry a lot more of will be more profitable. Example, selling stone knives vs stone axes.
I was going to include weights, but most food weights are very similar. So, it seemed like extreaneous info. Most food items weigh a half pound or less.
You know, i thought, hey this should be a good informative video but you looked over one of the most important factors in profitability. Time. How much time does it take me to mine the iron? How much time does it take me to cook certain things? To me the best approach to making money is not letting resources go to waste. Make iron arrows while you have iron, in the summer and autumn turn all your cabbage into potage and sell it when its fresh. In the spring sell your extra flax seeds and craft your flax into cloth. In fact sell all of your extra seeds keeping in mind at some point your farmers probably need seed and fertilizer so keep enough seeds to sow your fields if you plan on keeping a save for when that happens. Jack of all trades is the best way to make money in this game.
I just want orchards in the game!! we probably will get it since there are apples/plums/cherries to buy but not to produce... When they implement bandits, we probably will get some kinds of weapons/armors/shields to craft... +some watchtowers/garrisons... When they implement horses, we probably will get some saddles, horseshoes to craft... When they implement beekeeping and brewing, we probably get some bottles or something to store the booze... I'm pretty sure we'll get pottery at some point also... Most of those things I mentioned are allready in road map for next half of year, so anything is possible in further future
Im not sure which animals all produce manure. I know Pigs do for sure. Another great way to make fertilizer is from Rot, which you get a lot of if you have a bunch of people gathering food or you don't sell your food crops.
sow for about 300 flax, get about 2000 flax stalk. that's 2000 flax seed, keep 300 for next season. that's 1700 flax seed which you can sell for about 20k. make as many fine linen shirts as possible and you can sell that for 20k. that's 40k per year.
If you are using leather, crafting simple bags is the most profitable. They sell for 11 each and take up little inventory. I find I craft a bunch of them while hunting just to minimize inventory use.
We need a good way of transporting logs over longer distances, maybe that cart thing thats inside a few of the towns, the one thats similar to the one in the forest.....also, something you can do right now, find a nice flat area big enough for the town with some steep hills that have trees, cut trees from bottom to top and simply drop the logs so they roll toward the village location, it works well, make sure to keep the stumps so the trees regrow if needed...
Good tip. As for log production, if time isn’t of the essence, I’ve found that setting up two or three logging camps, complete with their own resource storage, house, and logging building away from your main settlement and assigning people to live in that house and cut down trees, produces a lot of logs.
I’m so glad I saw this today, I had planned to start my gaming time later by upgrading my sewing shed, putting two crafters into it and buying some clothing plans. Guess I’ll be putting everything into my forge instead! Cheers!
Yeah, at the moment that is certainly true. I should think more advanced systems like hiring an engineer/architect to unlock advanced technologies, or some sort of private militia/garrison would be awesome additions to the game.
Another great guide .I've just bought the game on ps5 and loving it .Ps I'm still early game [after countless re starts lol ]and was making a fair ammount of money with simple stone knife making to start but was struggling for food until I discovered duck hunting ,Dunno about pc bit on ps5 they are broken ,hovvering just above surface with its head under water.Literraly sitting ducks lol Cooking stews and pottage ,Btw the onlt cheat I really use is unlimited weight .That given is carrying a load of spears better than a recurve bow with stone arrows? [haven't found iron arrows yet]Ps didn't know about selling stone hoes cheers will help til can work iron.
Farming is still better IMO, definitely better than third. Until they reimplement needing seeds theyre free and clear profits. Farming is less concrete because yields vary. But I have 18 fields. Five 5.5s, five 5x6s, four 5 x 10s, and four 5 x12s. I double plant Cabbage (youre wrong in the video cabbage can be planted twice and is single season so basically overnight two times), But Cabbage and flax in the spring, All cabbage in the summer, wheat in the fall, carrots in the winter. 4 hunters in a tier two cabin with a combined 50 or more easily keeps up with even an aggressive cabbage planting. Cabbage is around a 6.5 per plot average. So a 5x5 will average 175 or so. Seeds are around 1.5 per plot so a 5x5 is around 35-40 seeds. If you plant 300 plots per year (2 seasons) thats 1950 cabbage (I almost never get less than 2K but trying to minimize it 'for science', and 450-500 seeds. 1950 potage (you cant make that many but to theory craft) @ 14G per would be 27300 just for the potage. And another 1350-1500 for the seeds. But flax is king. It sells for 4G per seed and you get 1-1 stalks, seeds (grain) and straw. It is slightly better than cabbage in terms of yield. Probably because its a single plant and two season mature. Around 8-10 per plot. A 6x10 plot yields around 500-600 flax (but we will round down). So 500 straw or 25 straw hats @ 14 per, 500 seeds @ 4 per and 500 stalks which is 50 linen cloth @ 28G. So a single 60 plot Flax field is generally 4K but for 'science and easy math' call it 3600. Or 60G per plot. So if you plant 300 plots of Flax thats 18000G. So just between Cabbage and Flax we are at 47K. Wheat is straight up seeds and more straw hats. Yield is similar to Flax. Wheat seeds sell for 4G as well. I usually have less wheat generally 200 plots or so. So call it 175 seeds, and 9 straw hats. Around 825G (I generally get 1K and thats how I gauge my planting) Small numbers but we need a fall crop. Then we have carrots. I try and get 200 plots of them down. Depending on how much I have used up cabbage. But carrots have a super high yield and 200 plots is over 600 carrots usually. So thats 200 stews or so @ 14G per. Seeds only sell for 2G per but also have a better than average yield. 200 plots is generally 75-100 seeds. Not a lot but 'free. But basically carrots are a 3K per year return. It doesnt outdo the broken iron arrows but its more involved and offers more 'RP' value. I am not sure what the max gold is from NPCs I am playing the beta version (which I think matches the release version) and they have various amounts of money. between 1200-1500G per trader. I think there are 20 traders on the map so between 25-30K. I know when I was 'testing' this I would break them easily (but that was when there was only 20K on the map) But I always had way more stuff left over. In the end money is way too easy to be make in this game no matter how you approach it. Thats why some of my calculations may be a little rusty and might not be perfectly accurate since I havent done it in a couple weeks and this game changes a lot. But once you have bought everything there is to buy that youre able to and still have more money than you can spend it doesnt seem too important. In the end farming is the best because it can be done instantly. My 'quick start' post is basically saying Spam E for 2 seasons collecting St Johns Wort and plantains. Plant as much flax as you can get 4-6 NPcs to farm and a hunter and youre set. Literally 4-5 hours real life time. You cant maximize blacksmithing until you have the mine built. By then farming should have you sitting on 50K or more gold.....
I should have noted that a mine with two tier 8 extractors will collect 1920 iron ore per year. Thats 192 stacks or arrows @ 300 per equals 57600. Way more gold than NPCs have. I have 715 farm plots and I can make over 50K in materials and wares a year. I havent 'tested' it in awhile but I know my NPCs are higher levels so my yields should actually have improved.
Stone knives? Oh dear! Just collect berries ripe or not and sell them. Easy money. And btw. if you collect them, use some 1h tool in the other hand - you will collect them faster.
Lol! The VERY BEST way to make a lot of coins very quickly is to cheat by checking the 'infinite carry' capability, which allows you to carry infinite weight... Then you can just go round collecting virtually anything, because anything you pick up is profitable... sticks, stones, rocks, mushrooms, reeds, herbs etc... The only difficult bit is finding the people to sell it all to! :D
Damn, im only 2 days into the game... theres so much to learn.... iv got all the mods on for my first playthrough so i can gist what i wanna do.... iv been waiting for a game like this to come to console for ages .... goes to show qhat the new gen of consoles can do over old gen
I have spent 162.4 hrs on this game and never did the math on profits. After watching your video, it makes me want to quit :). You would think that the higher into the crafting tree you went into, it would make a decent profits, no matter what you chose to craft.
Yeh cant make stack of 50 arrovs now - only 10 at 10 each = 100 or 16 each if make posion then 160 - so nothing compared.... plus need feathers now... so update on latest version be good please...
I just sold some copper and iron axes for a huge amount of money, I can confirm that smithing is the best way to make money. Also, iron axe is the fastest way to chop trees and collect logs, it takes it down in 3 chops only and the durability is up in the sky
Then, what to do with all the money? I'm making around 15.000 coins per season and have nothing to buy. What's the point of becoming rich in this game?
Don't think most people understand this game is a game of patience, I always see people starting a new game before there heir is born, it's like you have clue what they are missing out on, and of yiu ask them they will say it takes to long, like maybe read about the game before buying, I did and Ir said expect to play 150 hours before it gets good that Is realistic so I love this game
They made it more sensefull luckily. Flatbread is now 40, not 4 Idk what to do with all my fur Create shit dont sell resources. I'm shit rich selling crossbows
They really need to rework the pricing. Selling items for a loss is silly, raw materials should be super cheap and be additive to the cost of the final product. Also, berries in the summer are absolutely silly. Planting your first field is kinda difficult because you have to buy seeds and manure at 10 each.
Making money in this game is simple... Just gather stones and sticks and keep crafting knives non stop. It will earn more money then any other profession you invest tons of energy in :P
Fur boots or leather boots don't require anything but leather or fur. They sell for very good coin and only use stuff you get from hunting. It's a good method of early coin. Mining is much better but you need to mine so time invested. Selling salted meat is decent but salt comes from mining.
The economy is so dumb in this game why did they decide to go for flat 30% value when you sell approach instead of stimulating some sort of supply demand system
Just when I was about to spend all my savings on flax seeds, jeez. The iron one is obvious but unfortunately iron is not easy to find at all, found a cave, mined for like half an hour only for 40 iron
YEET. Looking at the game and the ones who made the game I don't expect that much, since they aren't a worldwide popular game company. But I really would like some more options like e.g: buying somethings, selling somethings, trading, robbing or even blackmailing. Isn't necessary but would definitely be great!
tbh there's allready many things that are way more complicated than in bigger studios(like snail,etc) and this game is mounth old, so I wouldn't discredit it for now...
Can you make a video explaining exactly how to make a villager do what you want them to? Say a Seamstress. Put her into a Sewing Hut 2 and have her make Thread. Show the ends and outs of the entire operation ...where her rough supplies are and where her finished product goes. Thanks
I hate this a out this game. You make something and it's a loss that doesn't make sense at all. I guarantee that ppl who crafted clothes back in the day did not lose money. No one had a career in losing money. Stupid
such a great idea and some interesting tips, but its a shame that after all your research you are telling us that flax takes two years to grow - which is not true. You also don't mention getting insane amount of money from selling flax seeds which you get on top of getting flax stalks and are easy to carry due to low weight. You mention all 3rd and 2nd best options for soups, sawing etc but when you get to tools you are either wood/stone or straight to iron. Bronze and copper not worth even mentioning?
@@a.y.t.a.s.494 I would probably need to write an essay to answer that - but in a nutshell: Only farming flax (not doing crop rotation allows my farmers to keep preparing fields so that in a spring I can plant much more flax than I otherwise would have and instead of wasting energy on other crops, if its not spring - its production time. First - stone knives and the aim to plant as much flax on a first spring that I can. Any excess seed can be sold (and they are really making huge bonus on top of the bags) but I make sure to keep enough to make my number of flax field growing each year. Soon after, I try to have as many villagers as I can support - I recruit not only the ones I want to keep but also the ones which I would never want (dismissing them immediately has no penalties and they just vanish so next seasons I have better chance for the stats I want). Producing mainly bags, wooden vials, clay vials and smithing. When access only to bronze I rather use it for the tools my townsfolks need (any excess can be sold), later on iron arrows are very profitable. I have a storage next to every village which has multiple benefits like: I don't have to carry all the products to sell, and I can access storage from multiple places in a map. Every season I aim to visit at least Lesnica, Hornica and Branica (plus as many mines as I can). I always buy: logs, sticks, planks, clay, and tin ore (to counter imbalance - I never do copper tools). I also buy limestone until all village is build up. If I manage to visit Gostovia/Rolnica/Denica I always buy straw (and manure until pigs can support me). Forgot to mention: any excess of sticks are turned into stone knifes and any excess of feathers are turn into bolts - or stone arrows if I'm trying to get rid of stone - (all for sale). And of course animals are excellent especially pigs and geese.
@@a.y.t.a.s.494 That is a very good question - I can not say with certainty - but from what I heard from some utubers the yield depends on location - not on crop rotation. From my own experience : not sure if even location matters as the yield is slightly random - If I save the game, cut all fields and see how much I got, load and do it again - the amounts are not the same but similar. Even if there would be some difference - it would have to be huge to offset the difference in profits production vs cabbage and rye. And one thing I forgot to mention yesterday - from the excess bronze I make sharing scissors for sale ( best value per bronze bar). I'm loving this game too - so addictive!
Hey man really great work, with all your videos thanks.How do you get feathers for making arrows? Is there a better way to cutting down trees and hoping to get some or with bird traps?
I was watching one of your videos and my girlfriend said "That guy sounds like Kermit." Then I understood your picture. Anyway, thanks for the video! Good info.
Are you selling the clothing at the right time of year? Its far more profitable to sell the clothes needed in the next season than to sell them any other time of year
I believe you have done the right math to a point. I believe the variables of item weight, crafting times and resource gathering time to be highly underrepresented. When you consider that I can carry more flax grain at one time than available NPC shop keepers have money for in any given season, the best way to make money as a trader is as a flax grain trader that can visit every shopkeeper in one single day. Axes, potage, boots and arrows will take you way too long to carry to shops and trade. Build a barn, hire some farmers, plant 300 units of flax. Rich
Do we really have to keep the food storage full for the villagers to consume? I’m really confused on where harvested items go and where I’m supposed to put raw items for crafters to use. Where do their finished products go?
Thank you. Ive been just playing the game and paying taxes by selling unripe berries in the spring. Im starting to get into the 1k+ taxes and this has helped
I like to make like 8-9 wood sheds, fully manned with good extraction level villagers. Can easily turn out 400-700 a day. Use those to make planks then wooden vials and sell them for 1.5 but you’ll make like 9k from 400 logs
Isn't the iron building hammer the best? It only requires 1 stick and 2 iron(9, 61 coin profit), and it sells for 70, compared to iron axe that requires 1 log and 4 iron(17, 71 coin profit). Iron building hammer might have 10 coin less profit, but it crafts 6 seconds faster, and requires lesser iron, which runs out quite fast unless u mine a lot.
Can you do an update on this video for the current version of the game, with tavern and copper/bronze tools? Curious if the efficiency has changed with all the current changes to the economy. Love the video!

It sounds like they need to rebalance some of this. Selling a shirt should be more profitable than selling the raw materials
value will prolly change with newer patches but thanks for doin the math. i hate math. subbed n liked
Yeah, i think if any change it will likely be clothing, as that one is currently the worst balanced.
With the same 10 iron you use to make 50 iron arrows ($7x50=$350), you can make 5 iron hammers ($70x5=$350), but you only spend 5 sticks for the hammers, and 50 sticks + 50 feathers for the arrows.

A little Edit: Currently Iron Hammers are the best way to earn money.
Iron hammer indeed 70g for 2 iron and 1 stick. Also small pouch is incredible 35g for 4 leather and 1 stick
thats all im doing atm
Simple bag sells for 40 and cost 3 leather and way less time to make and you need zero stations for it. Like sewing for example.
As of Nov 2021: Best profit for time and effort spent from the start of the game up until you start mining iron is Stone Skinning Knife.

Yeah, the higher seller is, the better all of these will be.
Very helpful, would like to see iron carrier in detail. What do think is the best for camp around lake of Hornica.
Great suggestion!
Dude keeps talking about gold. Is there gold in this game? I only get silver coins as money.

I just want orchards in the game!! we probably will get it since there are apples/plums/cherries to buy but not to produce...
When they implement bandits, we probably will get some kinds of weapons/armors/shields to craft... +some watchtowers/garrisons...
When they implement horses, we probably will get some saddles, horseshoes to craft...
When they implement beekeeping and brewing, we probably get some bottles or something to store the booze...
I'm pretty sure we'll get pottery at some point also...
Most of those things I mentioned are allready in road map for next half of year, so anything is possible in further future
I assume that it wont take crazy long to get all of this.
Is that your natural voice? You sound like Kermit the frog. Your profile pic makes sense 😄
Yes, it is my natural voice. I got told that i sound like kermit so much, that eventually i changed the profile pic to match.
If you do start raising sheep, can you get manure from them too? I’m growing flax and the biggest hassle is going to buy and carry manure.
Im not sure which animals all produce manure. I know Pigs do for sure. Another great way to make fertilizer is from Rot, which you get a lot of if you have a bunch of people gathering food or you don't sell your food crops.
Get you self a pig.5 pigs make 300 fertilizer per year enoth for 16*16 field.
sow for about 300 flax, get about 2000 flax stalk. that's 2000 flax seed, keep 300 for next season. that's 1700 flax seed which you can sell for about 20k.
make as many fine linen shirts as possible and you can sell that for 20k. that's 40k per year.
if you have your own manure from the pigs
sorry, not linen shirt but linen tunic
thanks, I've been waisting so much resources on so few profit
Glad I could help
can you move up the social ladder in this game? Like, could you become a knight or even a lord?
Don't know if you'll see this, but could you do one ranking the money making items by weight?
Did you check weights on some of these goods? Some tools are pretty heavy
Yeah, but the best tool path is iron arrows, and they weigh basically nothing.
If you are using leather, crafting simple bags is the most profitable. They sell for 11 each and take up little inventory. I find I craft a bunch of them while hunting just to minimize inventory use.
We need a good way of transporting logs over longer distances, maybe that cart thing thats inside a few of the towns, the one thats similar to the one in the forest.....also, something you can do right now, find a nice flat area big enough for the town with some steep hills that have trees, cut trees from bottom to top and simply drop the logs so they roll toward the village location, it works well, make sure to keep the stumps so the trees regrow if needed...
Good tip. As for log production, if time isn’t of the essence, I’ve found that setting up two or three logging camps, complete with their own resource storage, house, and logging building away from your main settlement and assigning people to live in that house and cut down trees, produces a lot of logs.
You can just teleport them, but it ruins the role play part tho
You can simply build a storage out of the city. Storage inventories are shared.
I just make all the spears I can and sell them 24 spears got me 230 or 330 coins
I’m so glad I saw this today, I had planned to start my gaming time later by upgrading my sewing shed, putting two crafters into it and buying some clothing plans. Guess I’ll be putting everything into my forge instead! Cheers!
Sewing is fun, and if you just do linen cloth for sales, its very profitable, but smithing is the way to go for money.
It seems like once you get to a certain point in this game, there is nothing to use money on.
Agreed. They need to build that out. Maybe hiring a militia against bandits?
Yeah, at the moment that is certainly true. I should think more advanced systems like hiring an engineer/architect to unlock advanced technologies, or some sort of private militia/garrison would be awesome additions to the game.
oh I bet there will be some kind of militia/guards when they implement the bandits in the game... probably some kind of watchtower/garrison also...
Another great guide .I've just bought the game on ps5 and loving it .Ps I'm still early game [after countless re starts lol ]and was making a fair ammount of money with simple stone knife making to start but was struggling for food until I discovered duck hunting ,Dunno about pc bit on ps5 they are broken ,hovvering just above surface with its head under water.Literraly sitting ducks lol Cooking stews and pottage ,Btw the onlt cheat I really use is unlimited weight .That given is carrying a load of spears better than a recurve bow with stone arrows? [haven't found iron arrows yet]Ps didn't know about selling stone hoes cheers will help til can work iron.
Farming is still better IMO, definitely better than third. Until they reimplement needing seeds theyre free and clear profits. Farming is less concrete because yields vary. But I have 18 fields. Five 5.5s, five 5x6s, four 5 x 10s, and four 5 x12s. I double plant Cabbage (youre wrong in the video cabbage can be planted twice and is single season so basically overnight two times), But Cabbage and flax in the spring, All cabbage in the summer, wheat in the fall, carrots in the winter. 4 hunters in a tier two cabin with a combined 50 or more easily keeps up with even an aggressive cabbage planting. Cabbage is around a 6.5 per plot average. So a 5x5 will average 175 or so. Seeds are around 1.5 per plot so a 5x5 is around 35-40 seeds. If you plant 300 plots per year (2 seasons) thats 1950 cabbage (I almost never get less than 2K but trying to minimize it 'for science', and 450-500 seeds. 1950 potage (you cant make that many but to theory craft) @ 14G per would be 27300 just for the potage. And another 1350-1500 for the seeds. But flax is king. It sells for 4G per seed and you get 1-1 stalks, seeds (grain) and straw. It is slightly better than cabbage in terms of yield. Probably because its a single plant and two season mature. Around 8-10 per plot. A 6x10 plot yields around 500-600 flax (but we will round down). So 500 straw or 25 straw hats @ 14 per, 500 seeds @ 4 per and 500 stalks which is 50 linen cloth @ 28G. So a single 60 plot Flax field is generally 4K but for 'science and easy math' call it 3600. Or 60G per plot. So if you plant 300 plots of Flax thats 18000G. So just between Cabbage and Flax we are at 47K. Wheat is straight up seeds and more straw hats. Yield is similar to Flax. Wheat seeds sell for 4G as well. I usually have less wheat generally 200 plots or so. So call it 175 seeds, and 9 straw hats. Around 825G (I generally get 1K and thats how I gauge my planting) Small numbers but we need a fall crop. Then we have carrots. I try and get 200 plots of them down. Depending on how much I have used up cabbage. But carrots have a super high yield and 200 plots is over 600 carrots usually. So thats 200 stews or so @ 14G per. Seeds only sell for 2G per but also have a better than average yield. 200 plots is generally 75-100 seeds. Not a lot but 'free. But basically carrots are a 3K per year return.
It doesnt outdo the broken iron arrows but its more involved and offers more 'RP' value. I am not sure what the max gold is from NPCs I am playing the beta version (which I think matches the release version) and they have various amounts of money. between 1200-1500G per trader. I think there are 20 traders on the map so between 25-30K. I know when I was 'testing' this I would break them easily (but that was when there was only 20K on the map) But I always had way more stuff left over.
In the end money is way too easy to be make in this game no matter how you approach it. Thats why some of my calculations may be a little rusty and might not be perfectly accurate since I havent done it in a couple weeks and this game changes a lot. But once you have bought everything there is to buy that youre able to and still have more money than you can spend it doesnt seem too important.
In the end farming is the best because it can be done instantly. My 'quick start' post is basically saying Spam E for 2 seasons collecting St Johns Wort and plantains. Plant as much flax as you can get 4-6 NPcs to farm and a hunter and youre set. Literally 4-5 hours real life time. You cant maximize blacksmithing until you have the mine built. By then farming should have you sitting on 50K or more gold.....
I should have noted that a mine with two tier 8 extractors will collect 1920 iron ore per year. Thats 192 stacks or arrows @ 300 per equals 57600. Way more gold than NPCs have. I have 715 farm plots and I can make over 50K in materials and wares a year. I havent 'tested' it in awhile but I know my NPCs are higher levels so my yields should actually have improved.
You are a saviour man. I have been slogging my ass off with stone knives. Trying to save iron for tools. But the iron arrow thingi looks fantastic.
Stone knives? Oh dear! Just collect berries ripe or not and sell them. Easy money. And btw. if you collect them, use some 1h tool in the other hand - you will collect them faster.
Lol! The VERY BEST way to make a lot of coins very quickly is to cheat by checking the 'infinite carry' capability, which allows you to carry infinite weight... Then you can just go round collecting virtually anything, because anything you pick up is profitable... sticks, stones, rocks, mushrooms, reeds, herbs etc... The only difficult bit is finding the people to sell it all to! :D
This could probably be updated with the recent changes. I mean, straw, linen and other stuff doesn't sell for one gold now, it sells for 0.1 gold.
Not to mention most of the cooked meals now require wooden bowls or plates.
Damn, im only 2 days into the game... theres so much to learn.... iv got all the mods on for my first playthrough so i can gist what i wanna do.... iv been waiting for a game like this to come to console for ages .... goes to show qhat the new gen of consoles can do over old gen
Thanks very much for the extensive research im giving this video a thumb up. Thanks again for the info, it helps a lot. Greetings from Argentina.
I have spent 162.4 hrs on this game and never did the math on profits. After watching your video, it makes me want to quit :). You would think that the higher into the crafting tree you went into, it would make a decent profits, no matter what you chose to craft.
Yeh cant make stack of 50 arrovs now - only 10 at 10 each = 100 or 16 each if make posion then 160 - so nothing compared.... plus need feathers now... so update on latest version be good please...
Who's hosting this video, Kermit the Frog? 😅🤣😂🤣😅🤪
I have been told that i sound a little like Kermit.
@@Dare_To_Game I thought maybe you actually did the voice for Kermit possibly. 😊
I just sold some copper and iron axes for a huge amount of money, I can confirm that smithing is the best way to make money. Also, iron axe is the fastest way to chop trees and collect logs, it takes it down in 3 chops only and the durability is up in the sky
make sure you make "simple bag" not "bag" if you do that you will actually make profit in a money to weight ratio
Then, what to do with all the money? I'm making around 15.000 coins per season and have nothing to buy. What's the point of becoming rich in this game?
Who else watched this guy's video and after word, looked at the the profile pic, then realized he sounds like Kermit? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Early game, I’ve been using stone knives…
Only 20 a pop but it’s just sticks and stones.
Just make 100 and then you got 2k
Don't think most people understand this game is a game of patience, I always see people starting a new game before there heir is born, it's like you have clue what they are missing out on, and of yiu ask them they will say it takes to long, like maybe read about the game before buying, I did and Ir said expect to play 150 hours before it gets good that Is realistic so I love this game
They made it more sensefull luckily. Flatbread is now 40, not 4
Idk what to do with all my fur
Create shit dont sell resources.
I'm shit rich selling crossbows
They really need to rework the pricing. Selling items for a loss is silly, raw materials should be super cheap and be additive to the cost of the final product.
Also, berries in the summer are absolutely silly. Planting your first field is kinda difficult because you have to buy seeds and manure at 10 each.
Further, they should incentivize the economy by making it economical to purchase raw materials from NPCs. Get rid of the 50% penalty to the player
Maybe this is too obvious, but I clear a ton of money just off selling the seed. I can wipe out a couple vendors just doing that.
Making money in this game is simple... Just gather stones and sticks and keep crafting knives non stop. It will earn more money then any other profession you invest tons of energy in :P
Fur boots or leather boots don't require anything but leather or fur. They sell for very good coin and only use stuff you get from hunting. It's a good method of early coin. Mining is much better but you need to mine so time invested. Selling salted meat is decent but salt comes from mining.
The economy is so dumb in this game why did they decide to go for flat 30% value when you sell approach instead of stimulating some sort of supply demand system
This video gives a good rough outline of things but all the prices and input costs are outdated.
In short, just do smiting and substance farming.
Just when I was about to spend all my savings on flax seeds, jeez. The iron one is obvious but unfortunately iron is not easy to find at all, found a cave, mined for like half an hour only for 40 iron
YEET. Looking at the game and the ones who made the game I don't expect that much, since they aren't a worldwide popular game company. But I really would like some more options like e.g: buying somethings, selling somethings, trading, robbing or even blackmailing. Isn't necessary but would definitely be great!
YOTE. For sure, idk if we will ever get any of the features that i really want, but if we do, that would be great.
tbh there's allready many things that are way more complicated than in bigger studios(like snail,etc) and this game is mounth old, so I wouldn't discredit it for now...
Is bags profitable usually i do that
Also how much feather per chicken coop can produce?
Outdated, arrows are now a loss. Havent checked everything but iron hammers are good nowadays
Can you make a video explaining exactly how to make a villager do what you want them to? Say a Seamstress. Put her into a Sewing Hut 2 and have her make Thread. Show the ends and outs of the entire operation ...where her rough supplies are and where her finished product goes. Thanks
Afraid these prices/comparison are no longer valid in the current patch.
I hate this a out this game. You make something and it's a loss that doesn't make sense at all. I guarantee that ppl who crafted clothes back in the day did not lose money. No one had a career in losing money. Stupid
such a great idea and some interesting tips, but its a shame that after all your research you are telling us that flax takes two years to grow - which is not true. You also don't mention getting insane amount of money from selling flax seeds which you get on top of getting flax stalks and are easy to carry due to low weight. You mention all 3rd and 2nd best options for soups, sawing etc but when you get to tools you are either wood/stone or straight to iron. Bronze and copper not worth even mentioning?
What is your best route to coin please?
@@a.y.t.a.s.494 I would probably need to write an essay to answer that - but in a nutshell: Only farming flax (not doing crop rotation allows my farmers to keep preparing fields so that in a spring I can plant much more flax than I otherwise would have and instead of wasting energy on other crops, if its not spring - its production time. First - stone knives and the aim to plant as much flax on a first spring that I can. Any excess seed can be sold (and they are really making huge bonus on top of the bags) but I make sure to keep enough to make my number of flax field growing each year. Soon after, I try to have as many villagers as I can support - I recruit not only the ones I want to keep but also the ones which I would never want (dismissing them immediately has no penalties and they just vanish so next seasons I have better chance for the stats I want). Producing mainly bags, wooden vials, clay vials and smithing. When access only to bronze I rather use it for the tools my townsfolks need (any excess can be sold), later on iron arrows are very profitable. I have a storage next to every village which has multiple benefits like: I don't have to carry all the products to sell, and I can access storage from multiple places in a map. Every season I aim to visit at least Lesnica, Hornica and Branica (plus as many mines as I can). I always buy: logs, sticks, planks, clay, and tin ore (to counter imbalance - I never do copper tools). I also buy limestone until all village is build up. If I manage to visit Gostovia/Rolnica/Denica I always buy straw (and manure until pigs can support me). Forgot to mention: any excess of sticks are turned into stone knifes and any excess of feathers are turn into bolts - or stone arrows if I'm trying to get rid of stone - (all for sale). And of course animals are excellent especially pigs and geese.
@@elliex6505 that’s awesome, thanks. I’m loving this game. I’m making lots of money from flax too, does crop rotation increase yield?
@@a.y.t.a.s.494 That is a very good question - I can not say with certainty - but from what I heard from some utubers the yield depends on location - not on crop rotation. From my own experience : not sure if even location matters as the yield is slightly random - If I save the game, cut all fields and see how much I got, load and do it again - the amounts are not the same but similar. Even if there would be some difference - it would have to be huge to offset the difference in profits production vs cabbage and rye. And one thing I forgot to mention yesterday - from the excess bronze I make sharing scissors for sale ( best value per bronze bar). I'm loving this game too - so addictive!
@@elliex6505 thanks again. I would like to give you a jewellery box or a flute but I can’t see the option here 😁
ugh.. had to go through 20+ minute video.
when all i needed to hear was "sell stacks of iron arrows"
24 spears got me 230 or 330 coins and i just got the game making coins is hard but stealing at night helps
I think Iron Horseshoes, would be profitable since they just take one iron bar.
Hey man really great work, with all your videos thanks.How do you get feathers for making arrows? Is there a better way to cutting down trees and hoping to get some or with bird traps?
These are really good videos but a lot of them about money making are now out of date. Would love to see updated versions.
I mine and smith everything at the start of the season and then I work on building my village and farm animals
get lots of leather by having two hunters only going for leather and then make bags tons of them and you are rich
Do they have a cart in this game? I could imagine myself carting to a town to sell my wares
I was watching one of your videos and my girlfriend said "That guy sounds like Kermit."
Then I understood your picture.
Anyway, thanks for the video! Good info.
That's awesome!
Are you selling the clothing at the right time of year? Its far more profitable to sell the clothes needed in the next season than to sell them any other time of year
Planting flax and then selling the extra flax grains also is a perfect way to make a lot of golds
I believe you have done the right math to a point. I believe the variables of item weight, crafting times and resource gathering time to be highly underrepresented. When you consider that I can carry more flax grain at one time than available NPC shop keepers have money for in any given season, the best way to make money as a trader is as a flax grain trader that can visit every shopkeeper in one single day. Axes, potage, boots and arrows will take you way too long to carry to shops and trade. Build a barn, hire some farmers, plant 300 units of flax.
Rich
Do we really have to keep the food storage full for the villagers to consume? I’m really confused on where harvested items go and where I’m supposed to put raw items for crafters to use. Where do their finished products go?
Looks like arrows is the way to go.
Yeah, big time.
19:16 spear is best as 1 log per spear spear sells for 10 gold giving 9 profit
Thank you. Ive been just playing the game and paying taxes by selling unripe berries in the spring. Im starting to get into the 1k+ taxes and this has helped
Glad you found it useful.
Thank you. I'm off to make myself rich from arrows
Kermit the frog 🐸 medieval dynasty guide
I like to make like 8-9 wood sheds, fully manned with good extraction level villagers. Can easily turn out 400-700 a day. Use those to make planks then wooden vials and sell them for 1.5 but you’ll make like 9k from 400 logs
I prefer buckets. Buckets sell really well for only costing 2 planks each. I keep a villager making buckets daily.
24 spears got me 230 or 330 coins
@@Fakyourfeelings what about spears I made 24 spears and got 230 or 330 coins
Does this still apply after the later updates since the upload?
Late to the party but what about selling animal feed?
Isn't the iron building hammer the best? It only requires 1 stick and 2 iron(9, 61 coin profit), and it sells for 70, compared to iron axe that requires 1 log and 4 iron(17, 71 coin profit). Iron building hammer might have 10 coin less profit, but it crafts 6 seconds faster, and requires lesser iron, which runs out quite fast unless u mine a lot.
Well.now the hammer is 43 coins....
What about the cost of the wooden bowls for the stews and such?
whats the best item if u turn ur carrry weight off so thats not an issue
Comment for profits
pro gamer move.
The new versión change everything.
Based on my reserch selling raw materials its not worth it anymore.
I think the best to sell is claycraft things.
How to make claycraft please?
