How often do lordly armours spawn?

[TreasureDen]

Which town is the best place to look for them?

 

[Feragorn]

Its random. And unless you have the 30000 denars too buy them, you won't be getting them any time soon.

 

[Whiteout]

  It certainly is random but it definately seems to be a lot less rare to find lordly equipment than it was in the origional game. Just travel between all the main hubs as much as you can and you will see them pop up; unless of course the cities are poor and struggling. That seems to affect the quality of equipment you will find there.

 

[drkpendragon]

Yeah, I've seen it in a few in towns. The looting skill is broken though, so you will not find any lordly stuff even at level 10. I don't think buying lordly stuff is worth it unless you've been cheating with money or found - it since resell is so low.

The only time i saw lordly heldric armour i was 1k short . It was like 56 body and 18 legs or something. So annoying.

why would you resell the best armour?

I myself love trading in the game and am usually very rich. If you have the money, why NOT buy it? For me staying alive in a battle is the most important thing because the fight ends when you get knocked out.

 

[drkpendragon]

Well, you can get armor that is very close and much much cheaper. Of course if you are very rich and like trading, there could be a good reason right there. However, paying for a huge army and other little details are more important since if you run into debt you are screwed.

My priorities would be

1) Good weapons (10k)
2) Buy myself decent armor and a horse (20k)
3) Never run into debt (keep at least 30k+ since I might run into a long war)
4) Give my companions good gear as well (20k per person, depending on my loot luck)
5) Lordly armor (100K+)

Contrary to popular belief money is pretty easy to get in this game. My "non fighting" char has full lordly plate equipment, all 8 companions regular plate gear except gloves who are thick. I have found lordly stuff in loot but it's been sub par stuff like the nordic helmet.

You just have to farm the money if your impatient and it's boring.

In my game, odd as this might sound, I got a Lordly Byrnie off a group of Sea Raiders before I was level 10... lol.

After 200+ days, two Lordly Winged Helms, two Lordly Plate Armors, about five Lordly Plate Greaves and probably four Lordly Iron Greaves. At least a dozen Lordly Plate Gauntlets. I've pretty much outfitted myself and my companions with their 'final' armors, but I'm short some Masterwork Sword of Wars (need them to force the AI to prefer 2H Swords in some situations so I don't have to swap things out often). They do not seem to be rare but appear to be less common than in the old M&B. Just make a point of checking the shops every chance you get and you'll find what you need sooner or later.

As someone else said earlier, the cost is the real issue, a complete set for just one character costs my usual warchest for a normal campaign. Then again, what else would you spend it on? My personal warband tends to be under 75 in number unless I'm trying to level up some Sharpshooters to use in garrisons.

 

[Feragorn]

Hell, I take ****loads of Vaegir Guards with me on campaigns. That and marksmen. My cav is usually me and a few Swadian Knights.

Gets expensive after a while.

 

[drkpendragon]

If it's so easy, then I really need to find some better ways to make money. My problem is that I don't enjoy trading a while lot. I'm not really good at it either. I don't really want to loot villages for clear reasons and battle loot sells for pennies.

what do you mean that you need a masterwork sword of wars to force the ai to use a 2h in some situtations? how does that work im curious because it might work with lances too and i wish my ai would use 2h in certain times too.

Yourself and all your companions, no troops. Equip everyone with blunt weapons, shields and the best armor you can afford. Skills for maximum benefit would be trade, inv. management, prisoner management and looting(dunno how much it helps but I still take it on one of my companions).

Locate bandit hideouts, check if a nearby city has a ransom broker. Go hunt bandits until your max in prisoners then head back sell them and loot and repeat this until most bandits are gone. Move to next hideout and look for a nearby town with broker and repeat. Never destroy or attack a hideout unless you want to relocate it.

You can run around doing this until you're blue in the face, add in some trade while changing location and you'll be rolling in cash. I have 6 pris management, each trip is worth 1500 + around 1k in loot.

Imo this is way more lucrative than doing trade runs. It's more boring and requires a certain level of companion equipment to be really efficient tho. Also, sometimes those brokers just ain't there.
