Earningregional wealthinManor Lordsis important if you want to purchase livestock, build workshops in burgage plots, or provide fancy treats for your peasant populace so they won’t notice you’re taxing them into the dirt. While your treasury is filled with tax income which you use to hire mercenaries or build settler camps,traderelies on regional currency instead.

If you want to trade, you’ll need something to… well, trade. Success in Manor Lords is about harnessing abundant resources; what do you have and how can you use it? Turning something basic into a valuable trade item is a part of that. Regional wealth you acquire through exports can then be funnelled back intoburgage plotworkshops, more oxen to improve your efficiency, or buying nice clothes and food for the market to boost approval.

Since the tax you collect is also based on how much regional wealth is produced in a settlement per month, it’ll increase your treasury as well. All that said, here’s how to earn regional wealth and trade items.

Manor Lords regional wealth - Trading point

Here’s the basic rundown of the process:

I’ve foundleather and dyes are two of the best early exports. You’ll get decent money for them, but they are also easy to produce since both hunting camps and forager huts produce food as well as the berries and hides you need to craft them. Leather is also a clothing item that benefits yourmarketplaceand can be turned into shoes if you build a cobbler’s workshop in a burgage plot.

Another strong seller iswarbows—build a bowyer’s workshop in a level two burgage plot and they’ll produce this weapon with planks; an easily accessible building resource. It doesn’t even cost regional wealth to establish this workshop. More generally, when deciding what to trade, consider what resource deposits you have in abundance—marked with a crown—and how easily you can process them into items worth more with thefamiliesyou have to hand.
