Stumble on a feast or two and you will get a couple special items. Decent sword, great armor, horse, or cow (butter now and then is nice, but this is the least useful early game). Never have two shields in VC tournament fights.Ģ0% chance of getting a special item for a win. It weighs a ton in tournaments and having one but not using it kills mobility for no reason.

Run in a circle and grab something better, or drop your shield and fight two handed with it, if fighting one on one.ĭon't put your shield on your back. Remember in the initial large teams crazy melee rounds, you just need 1 kill to advance past round 1 if knocked out, 2 to advance past round 2.so have your team absorb them in the front and sneak a kill from behind. If you lose, arena again to remake bet amounts, but using commands (order all the men to follow you, stay out of 3 or 4 way fights until the other teams are worn down) you should be able to win, barring bad luck. Nearby, probably, but also prefer one you suspect of having a feast for the multiple a day. It will also dramatically affect your map speed while solo (more than pathfinding I think) if you are dismounted. It will be very important in controlling the battlefield in tournaments or early field fights without a horse. Not for long, 10 or 20 minutes maybe, just enough to raise your weapon proficincies up a bit, and get a few hundred gold.
