Bannerlord Social Perks: Trade

The Trade perk tree is perhaps one of the easiest to level. All you need to do is utilise the in-game economy to your advantage. You will gain points as you purchase or sell any item, but you will gain much more when you purchase cheap goods from one settlement, and then sell them for a profit at another settlement. This is by far the fastest way to level the skill and can be repeated at different settlements. However, any action will suffice if you would rather level the skill naturally. For more information on how to exploit the economy, see How to Make Money.
