In the medieval world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as in our own, money is the lifeblood of society. Henry, despite any prior wealth, begins his journey anew, requiring players to build his fortune from the ground up. This guide explores the most effective legal and illegal methods for accumulating wealth in Bohemia, allowing you to choose how honorably (or dishonorably) Henry will make his mark.
The Path of Honesty: Crafting Your Fortune
The legal route to riches in KCD 2 revolves around crafting, primarily weapons, though potion-making can also be lucrative. Key perks to maximize your earnings as a craftsman include:
- Silver Tongue: Improves your haggling skills, granting a +4 Speech bonus.
- Artisan: Increases the selling price of crafted weapons by 10%.
- Polished Wares: Grants a 10% bonus on weapon sales when they are at 98% or 100% condition.
- Adept of the Mystic Arts: Increases the selling price of potions, herbs, recipes, and books by 10%.
- Martin’s Secret: Unlocks the ability to craft Tier 4 weapons.
The strategy here is simple: craft as many weapons and potions as possible. Potions tend to be more profitable, but Tier 4 weapons, while excellent for combat, also command high prices. Focus on crafting Tier 3 and Tier 4 items. Ensure your goods are in pristine condition before selling them in Kuttenberg. Merchants here possess substantial silver reserves, allowing you to earn around 2,000 Groschen per visit. Return every few in-game days to sell more goods once the merchants replenish their funds.
The Shadowy Path: Thievery and Horse Trading
For those inclined towards a less virtuous approach, theft offers the fastest, albeit riskier, way to amass wealth. Essential perks for a successful thief include:
- Silver Tongue, Polished Wares, and Adept of the Mystic Arts: These perks, also beneficial for crafting, will help you sell stolen goods at a higher price.
- Hustler: Facilitates the selling of stolen items.
- Partner in Crime: Replaces Hustler later in the game, allowing you to sell stolen goods undetected.
- Totally Legit: Accelerates the reduction of the "stolen" status on items (useful before acquiring Partner in Crime).
- Sticky Fingers: Grants a small amount of Groschen after a successful pickpocketing.
- Silent Fiddler: Reduces noise generated while lockpicking by 75%.
- Thief’s Eyes: Reveals the origin of stolen items, useful for selling in different locations.
- Trafficker: Further accelerates the reduction of the "stolen" status on items.
Two primary thieving strategies exist, one for Trosky and another for Kuttenberg:
- Trosky Horse Trading: Stealing horses outside of Troskovitz and selling them at the Nomad Camp is a lucrative early-game tactic. Zhelejov also offers opportunities to acquire unguarded horses at night.
- Kuttenberg Store Raids: In Kuttenberg, focus on stealing from shops at night. Take the Groschen and other valuable items. Store the stolen goods in Henry's chest and wait for the "stolen" status to disappear (usually around three in-game days). Avoid wearing stolen items, as this can alert merchants. Once the items are no longer marked as stolen, sell them to unsuspecting merchants.
Choosing Your Path: Virtue or Vice
While both legal and illegal methods offer ways to accumulate wealth, thievery is undeniably the fastest and arguably the most entertaining. However, for players seeking an honorable playthrough, crafting and trading provide a legitimate and rewarding path to financial success. The choice is yours: will Henry be a respected craftsman or a notorious rogue?
