Tired of Your Inventory Overflowing With Rusty Spoons? A Guide to Weapon Donation in Bannerlord (Because Seriously, Who Needs That Many Spoons?)
Ah, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. A land of conquest, chivalry, and apparently, an alarming surplus of cutlery. You've conquered a castle, routed a bandit horde, and somehow ended up with enough spoons to feed a particularly peckish dragon. But fear not, valiant warrior, for there's a much nobler use for those slightly-used sporks: donating weapons!
But Why Donate Weapons? Isn't Looting More Fun?
Absolutely! There's a certain thrill to stripping your enemies down to their undergarments (though frankly, some of those outfits leave little to the imagination). However, there are times when charity is the name of the game. Donating weapons:
- Boosts Your Troops' Morale (and Levels): Happy troops are fighty troops! Donating decent gear gives them a warm fuzzy feeling (and a significant XP boost) that'll have them cleaving through enemies like butter (hopefully not the kind you've been hoarding).
- Makes You Look Like a Saint (Even if You're Secretly Stockpiling Spoons): The people need a hero, and what's more heroic than a generous warlord? Just don't mention the slightly disturbing spoon collection.
- Clears Out Inventory Space for More... Spoons? (We Don't Judge): Free yourself from the tyranny of teaspoons! Donate those rusty daggers and make room for truly essential items, like that slightly chipped commemorative plate you found in a dusty corner.
How to Unleash Your Inner Philanthropist (Without Actually Giving Away Any Spoons)
Step 1: Acquire the "Giving Hands" Perk
This little gem unlocks the magic of weapon donation. You'll find it under the Stewardship skill tree, nestled between "Master of the Forge" (because who needs good weapons when you have spoons?) and "Taxation" (because everyone loves taxes... right?).
Step 2: Befriend a Quartermaster (They Like Spoons Too, Probably)
Not just any old bloke will take your mismatched cutlery collection. Seek out a quartermaster with a perk that allows for weapon donation. These guys are basically the Goodwill of Calradia, so treat them with respect (and maybe offer them a particularly shiny spoon).
Step 3: The Moment of Truth (But Seriously, Keep the Spoons)
Open your inventory and hover over a weapon. If it has a green text saying "Can be donated," you're in business! Select the weapon and donate it to your heart's content. Just remember, while a rusty dagger might be good for morale, it's probably not going to win any wars. Choose wisely (and maybe hold onto that ceremonial spork, just in case).
Congratulations! You're Now a Weapon Donation Master (Spoon Hoarder Extraordinaire)
With this newfound knowledge, you'll be a beacon of generosity in Calradia. Just remember, charity starts at home, so keep those spoons close. You never know when a dragon with a spoon fetish might come calling.
