Is it Worthwhile to Buy a Workshop?

Workshops generate passive income.

In Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord, workshops generate passive income, meaning you don’t have to do any work to earn money once you’ve purchased one. You don’t need to pay employees or provide materials for production. While the earnings are modest and fluctuate, making 200 gold per day is a good result. However, workshops never result in losses. A workshop may not earn anything on a particular day, but it won’t strain your budget.

Buying a workshop is a low-risk investment. It may not cover your soldiers’ wages, but you will eventually make your money back. You can purchase multiple workshops to increase your earnings.

For comparison, earnings from caravans can be much higher, but running caravans involves expenses. Regardless of whether your caravan earns money or not, you must pay for its security every day, and the first few days of operation are typically associated with some losses.

How to Buy a Workshop?

The list of important characters in a town shows who owns the workshop.

Workshops can be purchased in any town in Bannerlord. The easiest way to find out who owns a workshop is to check the list of important characters in that town. Hover your cursor over a character to determine whether they own a workshop.

You can learn the selling price of a workshop by talking to its owner.

If a character owns a workshop, you will see a dialog option to buy it during a conversation, and you will also learn the selling price. After purchasing a workshop, it becomes your property immediately. You don’t need to take any additional actions; it will start generating income automatically, and you can collect your earnings the next day.

Top-rated Workshops

Choosing the right goods to produce is crucial.

Finding the best workshop in Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord can be challenging. The profit you make depends on the resources that are abundant and inexpensive in a particular town, which is influenced by the surrounding villages. For instance, if the nearby villages produce wool, then it is wise to build a wool weavery. However, the overall situation in the region can also affect your earnings. If the surrounding villages are constantly attacked, then your workshop won’t generate much income.

What to Do When Your Workshop Isn’t Making Enough Money

If your workshop isn’t earning enough money, you can change its production type by accessing the Other tab in your clan’s window. You can do this at any time, but keep in mind that each change costs 2000 pieces of gold.

When deciding which type of workshop to choose, consider the situation in the region. For example, if there is a battle near your town, it might be worth changing your workshop to a Forge, as the demand for weapons increases during war. Additionally, pay attention to competition. If there are already workshops of a certain type in your town, another one is unlikely to be profitable.

It’s also possible to sell your workshop (from the window where you change its type), but this should be a last resort option, as you’ll receive only a small amount of gold for it.
