having very low honor when creating new character

[ashleybeshir]

I posted this in bug thread but wanted to see  if anyone else had it. what ever ı choose in character creations maximum ı ever get is 25 renown. Even when ı put everything noble ı still get it. I even got 5 renown once when trying.does anybody else have this.

When only creating or always? If when creating, it is always happening.

on creating. The thing is villages wont give me soldier because of the low renown but ı cant attack bandits at the same time because they spawn 19 at a time so ı get stuck.

That's the game dude. It's a challenge, you have to work it out. Go fight in the arena or something, or make some money labouring in a village, and hire some mercs to take on small bandit gangs.

So its not a bug because when ı checked character creations guide ı was supposed to have 100 renown but ended with 25.

Maybe that's a bug, but it's also possible Idibil just revised it down since that guide was written. Either way the early game is supposed to be difficult, that's the point. It makes the game interesting for longer. 1.39 is supposed to reintroduce freelancer, which will make the early game even more interesting, in theory.

You can still get troops from villages when your renown is low but you have to pay the village elder a small fee first.

you mean the 500 coins. would do it but you always start with 200. The biggest chance is to have a competition int he area you started and win it.than you could get villagers.

Well as I said the easiest way to make money early on is to work in a village. Then you can bribe the village elder. Might not be the best way to get troops though.

You probably want to fight a few rounds in the arena regardless, your skills are pretty damn hopeless when you first start, you need to train them up a bit.

Freelancer gives you the option to fight as a regular soldier in a lords army. Link

Also, you might want to try trading. Wales has a lot of silver/minerals which you can sell in the towns just northwest of there.

Right, and take the salt you can get at places like Maunguid, Pengwern and Licidfelth and take that back into Wales.  Ideal trade route.  Only difficulty is keeping away from bandits and finding places to sell the excess stuff (because you'll always have more goods than you can sell at any one town).

Especially good idea:  Hit the villages around towns line Pengwern and Licideflth to grab a lot of really cheap salt (talking about 40-100 scillingas) and then take that into Wales, sell it around for 250-300, buy minerals there for 40-100 scillingas, and sell it around northern Brittania for 380-500 scillingas.  You can make a lot of money very quickly if you do it smartly, and the risk from bandits is actually pretty low in that route.

Also if you really want to accumulate renown?  Be a Bard.  It's also good for a few extra scillingas to help you cover the expenses of travel.  And the sweet part is, you never LOSE renown while barding, even if you lose bardic reputation, so it's probably the single most dependable way to raise renown.

Thanx for the trading route. Gonna give it a try tomorow.

Probably the best place to sell salt is Oxenaforda - up to about 600 gold per sack every few days, even if you buy it for less than 100 gold from another Mierce city, just half a day to the north.  And yeah, silver trade is the best - get silver + minerals at 40-80 gold, sell at 500-650.
Ofc, prices depends on trading skill, just hit taverns and get Alefir with his 7 trade skill.
