Complete Missions
Quests are one of the easiest early-game ways to earn income in Bannerlord. You find them by looking for the blue exclamation mark next to villagers or nobles.
Look for jobs like:
- Clearing bandit hideouts
- Escorting caravans
- Donating garrison troops
These usually pay well and help you build good relationships. Early quests won’t make you rich, but they provide steady pocket money as you level up.
Melt and Sell Weapons
Blacksmithing is one of the most profitable skills in Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord. Many overlook it.
- Take spare weapons to the blacksmith
- Melt them into valuable metals like iron or steel
- Sell those materials for far more than the original weapon value
You can even buy cheap weapons, melt them down, and sell the metal for a profit. Just remember that melting requires coal, which you craft from hardwood. You can buy hardwood in any major town. Tier 2 and Tier 3 items can yield metals worth hundreds of denars. This method quickly gains momentum.
Tax Revenue
Taxes become a major source of passive income once you own land. You earn taxes from:
- Villages
- Mines
- Prosperous towns under your rule
With the right perks, you can boost village taxes significantly and mine taxes by as much as fifty percent. You earn money daily without any effort. In the late game, this income stream grows substantially.
Bannerlord Money Guide: Win Tournaments
If you’re comfortable with combat, tournaments are straightforward earnings. Go to the tournament master in any large city to see upcoming events.
You can:
- Bet on yourself each round
- Win up to two thousand denars per victory
- Gain fame to level your clan
Winning tournaments also feels fantastic. It’s one of the most rewarding ways to boost both your wallet and your reputation.
Workshops and Caravans
Once you accumulate some savings, it’s time to start investing.
Workshops cost around fourteen thousand denars. They can earn:
- Up to four hundred denars per day when managed well
Caravans cost around fifteen thousand denars. They take time to turn a profit and always carry the risk of being raided, but in the long run, they can generate:
- One thousand denars per day
You purchase caravans from shopkeepers in any town. Press Alt to identify them by their yellow name tags.
Sell Prisoners
Don’t neglect prisoners after battles. Take captured troops to the tavern and sell them. High-value prisoners include:
- Well-equipped soldiers
- Experienced units
They can easily bring in four-digit sums. It’s quick money with almost no effort.
Get Valuable Loot in Battles
Battles are the quickest way to make serious cash. Raiding nobles, kings, or elite armies fills your inventory with high-tier loot.
A single big victory can give you:
- Gear worth ten thousand denars or more
If you don’t have your own army yet, join another lord or attach yourself to an allied force. You still get a share of the loot without taking on all the risk.
Trading
If fighting isn’t your style, trading offers a strong alternative. You can:
- Check item prices by hovering over them in towns
- Buy low in one region
- Sell high somewhere else
Once you understand how prices fluctuate across the map, trading becomes a dependable and secure way to earn income.
