Mount & Blade: Warband on Xbox One (X1)

In Rivacheg take a walk around the streets until you get to the armour merchant go to the left until you see a stack of hay on the right. There will be a chest in the hay with samurai armour and sword. They are just better than sea raider armour and is good for starters

If you are finding the game too difficult or are trying to get out of that sticky situation where you are surrounded, simply go into your options, scroll down to battle size and set it to 30. Next scroll further down and set damage to players and damage to friends to 1/4 and 1/2 (easiest). This will enable you to take minimal damage and for your 30 man army to be the best of its ability. If you wish to enable another setting to make the fights even easier mess around with combat controls and combat speed. Beware, as infinitely powerful you are, DO NOT GET CROUCH LANCED!

After helping a lord win a battle, you will gain reputation with that lord by a few points. Immediately after closing the dialogue with the lord your game will autosave. 

Ifyou exit the game without saving and Continue the save from immediately after helping the lord, you will see that the lord is still in the battle you helped with but the enemy army has 0 combatants. 

After helping win this easy fight (only send your troops, don't join) you will gain +1 reputation. 

You can repeat this process until your reputation with the Lord reaches 100 (Devoted is the highest level, reached at 85). Getting from 0 to 100 takes close to 20 minutes.

simply win 3 tournaments in the area that youve chosen then go see the ruler and pledge your loyalty simplicity itself. ive done this ten times so it works
