How to Make Money in Medieval Dynasty
The economy has been rebalanced several times since Early Access. Old methods based on collecting hundreds of Sticks, Berries, or Stone Knives and selling them for large profits are no longer nearly as effective.There are several better ways to make money in the current game.
Explore abandoned camps, carts, ruins, and other points of interest. Sell equipment and valuables you do not need. This is one of the fastest ways to get your first meaningful amount of money without investing in production.
Hunt animals and process the resources. Cook surplus Meat and sell unnecessary Leather and Fur. Crafted products are usually more valuable than raw materials.
Grow Flax. Once farming is established, Flax is one of the strongest foundations for a profitable settlement. Process Flax Stalk into Linen Thread and Linen Fabric, then sell surplus seeds or crafted clothing.
Mine and craft metal tools. Copper, Bronze, and later Iron equipment can become an excellent source of income once you have access to the relevant technology and buildings.
Use Market Stalls later in the game. They let villagers sell selected products automatically instead of forcing you to visit merchants every time your storage fills up.
Stone Knives can still be useful for earning your first few Coins because they require only Sticks and Stones, but do not build your entire economy around them. Their profitability was heavily reduced compared with older versions.Merchant prices also depend on your Diplomacy skills, so exact buy and sell values may differ from one character to another.To trade, speak with a merchant and choose the trading dialogue option.How to Make Money in Medieval DynastyHow to Make Money in Medieval DynastySelect the item you want to sell in your inventory.

How to Get a Bow in Medieval Dynasty
There are several types of bows in Medieval Dynasty, including the basic Bow, Longbow, and Recurve Bow.Old guides sometimes recommend stealing a bow from a Hunting Lodge near Branica or buying one from Sambor. Those instructions are outdated. Sambor no longer sells hunting equipment. After completing his personal questline, he mainly sells wooden animal figurines.The safest early-game option is to buy a bow from a hunter vendor. On the Valley map, Gizela in Lesnica and Rajmund in Tutki sell bows and hunting supplies.How to Get a Bow in Medieval DynastyHow to Get a Bow in Medieval DynastyThe basic Bow is cheaper than the more advanced versions, while the Longbow and Recurve Bow become better choices once you have more money and technology.You can also craft a Bow yourself.
