Since the town owner will be the feast giver, talk to him once a day (avoid talking all the time, let the counter since last talk go above 24 hours), to get 2 bursts of +5 relations. If you are feasting/tournament fighting in a town, don't turn in quests there or pay for relations points by buying mead in tavern until you hit the 30 from tournaments. Tournaments will give you +6 relations per win with town, up to 30. Early morning, 10-11am, and later afternoon early evening are usual. Just rest in town and occasionally click to see if tournament is back. Stumble on a feast or two and you will get a couple special items.Ī town with a feast is 3 tournaments a day, sometimes 4. Decent sword, AMAZING armor (better than bear lorrica in body armor rating, so a candidate for the best armor in game), horse, or cow (butter now and then is nice, but this is the least useful early game). Never have two shields in VC tournament fights.Ģ0% chance of getting a special item for a win. It weighs a ton in tournaments and having one but not using it kills mobility for no reason. Run in a circle and grab something better, or drop your shield and fight two handed with it.ĭon't put your shield on your back. Remember in the initial large teams crazy melee rounds, you just need 1 kill to advance past round 1 if knocked out, 2 to advance past round 2.so have your team absorb them in the front and sneak a kill from behind. If you lose, arena again to remake bet amounts, but using commands (order all the men to follow you, stay out of 3 or 4 way fights until the other teams are worn down) you should be able to win, barring bad luck. Nearby, probably, but also prefer one you suspect of having a feast for the multiple a day. It will also dramatically affect your map speed while solo (more than pathfinding I think) if you are dismounted. It will be very important in controlling the battlefield in tournaments or early field fights without a horse. Not for long, 10 or 20 minutes maybe, just enough to raise your weapon proficincies up a bit, and get a few hundred gold.

Then ignore the usual 'purchase wine and wool and sail back and forth.' That's for traders, though if you happen to sail into Dorested buying some wine while there anyway makes sense. Combat character then? And I take it you are new to VC, but experienced at Warband combat?
