Items worth 50 denars are sometimes worth a couple of hundred when smelted. Smelting requires Charcoal, which is made from refining Hardwood. Every major town has a Smithy where you can smelt weapons for their materials and sell those at a more expensive price. Smithing is an easy mechanic to miss because the tutorial doesn't tell you anything about it.

Similar to past Mount & Blade games, you make a lot of money by purchasing cheap items at one town or village and selling them elsewhere for a profit.

If the life of a trader sounds appealing, this tip is especially for you. Also, Family Feud is a short distance quest that often provides close to 2,000 denars for persuading an NPC or winning a duel. Quests for delivering herds are usually a short distance and give around 400 to 600 denars (the in-game currency). Try to visit nearby villages and find quests that focus on delivering herds or one named, Family Feud. When you're first starting out in Bannerlord, one of the best ways to make fast money is by completing village quests.
