Bannerlord Weapons - Best XP, Sellable, And My Favorite Ones to Use Flesson19

Nice work, bro!!!!

As of right now in current patch the bug still exists so I wouldn't go too hard in smithing for making good weapons to use over making them for money.

(Where the stats of a Masterwork and the length of parts reset to stock when loading a save...)

I have a couple of unrelated questions, can I ask them here? I think you might be able to figure out a way to answer these for me.

Do NPC's get skill points from tournaments that are resolved off-camera? That is, if you skip a match, or where a tournament is resolved in places you aren't at, does it work the same as when you see a companion racking up skill points? I expect the answer is yes but I would like to be sure.

Second question: I wonder why lords don't sell all their prisoners immediately? I speculate that when a prisoner is sold, they return either to some sort of recruiting pool, or to their place of origin, the village or town from where they were originally raised. So holding prisoners prevents them from going home and being re-raised by an enemy lord. That sounds like the kind of thing Taleworlds would do.

Anyway, these are just some thoughts I had and it occurred to me you might even enjoy chasing them down, but if not, feel free to ignore them.

My favourite polearm is the T5 Long Glaive Head (min size), T3 Double Thorn Wings (default size), T3 Long Pine Reinforced Shaft (min size). The swing speed is 66, reach 199 and swing cut damage 192. It might not have quite the reach or speed of your weapon but this weapon has every polearm option. It can swing, it can thrust, it can dismount on thrust, it can brace and it can couch. It is a weapon that you can put in your loadout and not have to swap out for different missions.

For your civilian 2H sword what is the reason for the cusped western guard? On paper it has decent length but because the length is measuring from the base of the guard to the tips of the quillons which stick out it doesn't actually add that much reach. It seems like a better part would be the T5 Pointed Crescent Guard. Despite the stats saying it is a shorter part it actually increases your length to 121 at max size and weighs less which increases speed and handling while only reducing damage 2 points. Also strange issue, for me to match your weapon stats in game I have to leave the fians pommel at default size despite your screen showing it max size.

Also could I request a test? Given that the guard pieces measure the length of the piece but not the length it adds to your reach due to the attachment point for the blade being below the quillon points for some parts I have a theory that grip length may not actually increase effecting striking reach. If the models are programmed to have the hands attach to the weapon model near the top of the grip then increasing the grip size would have negligible impact on real weapon reach despite showing a longer weapon reach in the smithing stats. I'm not exactly sure how this could be tested. You would need to have a target that didn't move which rules out fighting the AI, you would need target dummies somewhere. Smith two weapons, one where you use a max size grip and one where you use the same parts but you put the grip size to minimum and increase the blade length so that the weapon reach stat is the same and then test if there is an actual difference in striking reach.

Thanks for the information, I appreciate all your effort becoming such a Bannerlord Guru and I'm sorry you have to do all this messing around reuploading because of yt. All the best!

I hadn't finished the last one and you deleted it!

I just decided after 300 hours of gamplay to start smithing i love you for this video

Can you make a guide for how to do smithing for dummies please 🙏🏼 start to end. Im returning to the game

Out of curiosity, what's the best method to unlock parts for Smithing to use in these recipes?

My man, thank you so much for this. Best bannerlord guides out there.

Nice work and thank you!

Also, looking forward to the next stream!

Ah, the Lord of Bannerlord has granted us with another scripture.

Great guide. I used your 2H polearm and then tweaked it a little. I was able to get longer reach while keeping the same swing speed and actually improved handling (though I am not sure exactly what handling does still). Damage is a little less, but that has no practical effect since it still one-hit KOs.

I use the same blade (max length), but instead use 3 tier flag and staff (rectangular banner) and (short pine staff). I then shortened the staff until 70 swing speed. Result is 244 weapon reach, 70 speed, 138 cut, and 65 handling.

If you want to instead gain more swing speed for a little lower length, the tier 4 triple gonfalon banner can be used with the tier 1 pine spear staff. You again give up a few cut damage for 75 swing speed and 225 reach; still long enough to use pretty easily on horseback.

There is also one practical reason to add a tier two pommel even though it doesn’t affect stats; it actually reduces the smithing difficulty to a lower level than not including one at all This can be important when at a lower smithing level if you are not planning to max out due to the grind or because of limited attribute points.

The one above with pummel is only 144 difficulty.

Using the T4 falchion blade that you recommend for selling, I am able to make a sword that sells for 11k+ (11k when a companion with no skill makes it) that also only costs only iron and wrought iron (no steel or fine steel). Whether or not that is good depends on what materials you have, but it’s definitely a consideration. I don’t remember exactly what other parts I use, but I haven’t bothered to optimize anyways.

My current favorite weapon right now is the executioner axes from the desert. I can get like 100 kills in a battle its so OP

do you have some tips on weapons for your companions?

and everytime i reload a save the values of the crafted weapons get reset...

Great guide, the money 2H sword build is clutch. 38k per on my charactee

I'd love to see a video on how to unlock parts for, and build awesome daggers (for RP purposes).

Great video! Thanks for the help! Been looking for a good guide like this for good weapons/sellables.

Random question: I'm already proficient with "one hand" and "bow". I'm thinking of investing in another skill for melee: two handed or polearms. In the first case, I understand that it would be useful to be versatile with one and two hands with the same weapon and have a chance to fight closer enemies (which is more often). The polearms please me for the cavalry, occasional spearmen and the fact that it is a weapon with a different use and reach than classic "one hand". Could anyone help?

What’s the best weapon to make in each category for XP?

I know the sword was meant for exp but there is no other so
Weak ash
My sword has
96 swing speed
And over 130 swing dmg

Over 120 range
And something like 80 handling?

Ive got up to 30k on 2h swords but that was with tier 5 parts and up tp 22k on a tier 4 blade and rest of the parts tier 3

Awesome video, love your channel!

Getting over $40k (with perks). Knightly arming sword blade, ridged western guard, 1h/2h fine leather wrapped handle (black with a little steel at bottom), and last pommel. All max size except pommel, size up a little for max cut damage. Wouldn't this give more xp than the other?

I use a short 2h axe for sieges. It is really good in doorways and tight spaces.

In some videos I saw how they sell two-handed swords for 52 thousand, and the most I have done is 33 thousand, what parts are the best to maximize profits?

This is with some skill in trade so I don’t know what the base skill is, but you can make a two handed pointed (I think - might be star) falchion, that sells for 10.6k for 7 wrought iron, might be 1 iron as well - I’d have to check. I think it might be 6 and 1, and the return is 7 if you dismantle it for exp. It’s not the most expensive or the most experience, but it’s a very cost efficient weapon for both. I can look up what I used exactly. I like trying to find the top things I can do without fine steel or thamaskene because they go very quick. It’s also good to have alternatives that don’t need wood, because you can burn through several thousand wood in no time. My consistent semi cheap but higher exp and money item is a polearm with the menavlion head with the throwing shaft, fine steel butt cap and steel brace gives you around 37k and good experience as well. Seems like the Voulge head is high exp too, but cost 4 fine steel, so I think the falx is better at the cost.

What sort of weapon loadout do you recommend for different scenarios?

Mounted combat, thrusting polearm, couchable with shield or swing polearm? Or do you go 1-2 handed weapon with less reach when the melee gets bogged down? (Because otherwise would bounce off teammates), or (cross)bow

Gangfights in town, do you go throwing weapon for quick kills? maybe a spear for the reach and jump around terrain? Do you go 2H axe for crush through and hitting multiple enemies?

Prison breaks, do you take a small dagger as anything with a bit of reach will bounce off the walls? Or do you to full throwing weapons? Or maybe a spear since thrusts won't have wall issues?

Sieges, do you just go bow and arrow, or bring a shield for cover? Probably have the same wall block as prisonbreak in the gatehouse

What about field battles? Take javelins for high value targets? A falx blade that has an easier time chewing through shield wall?

When I make the 2H Sword that you reccomended, the damage is only around 30 and I can only sell it for around 3k and sometimes 7k. Is there a reason for this? Or what perks should i get to maximise profits . I’m level 225.

I get a free grim reaper junior by marrying sein most the time lol

Still working or some update (for the xp one) change the values ? And is it possible to make a good looking and still being OP ?

I'm at difficultly 61 and still only have teir 1 available. Any orders I do are a disappointment. Is there another video that helps beginners? What is the method to get higher teirs on each type of weapon? I try to smith when I can, It's not going up at all?

i created a 2 handed sword with the pointet falchion blade from categori 4 and rest items from categori 5 and it has 172 Cut dmg!! i am one shotting horses in combat so i named it "Horse Clipper"

In my experience, nothing is more cost effective than Javelins. I make them and sell for 22k if they're in decent condition lol

my 2 cents on the matter, your grim reaper would benefit from a crouchable shaft and a long glaive head

anybody know what is the video to the guy that made whole roster + copy paste options from that ?

Ok nice video, thanks, but i'm looking just for money atm, what is the most profitable and less resource costing weapon to smith ?

A bit late, but i wanna get your attention on the t4 2handed blade with the longest reach, paired with the t5 fian guard and southern handle you can live your berserk fantasies

For new viewers, you should always use a pommel on polearms to raise the average part tier, making it possible to get masterwork and legendary versions.

This is the first of the guides that are being moved from the guides channel to the main channel. Sorry but re uploading is my only option to consolidate all my work
