How to Win Maidens and Influence Emperors

At character creation, one can create alchemists of high skill over and over again and transfer their potions to other characters in the party, then delete the alchemist and make another one. The potions you get this way will sell for a considerable amount once you start playing. Your party should always include a Friar type character with high virtue and at least some useful saints like St. Weneslaus. Also consider adding someone with high alchemy, healing and or woodswise skill to make your first encounters easy.

When you first start adventuring, if you stole lots of potions you should be able to buy the best armor and weapons immediately. The best city to buy armor and weapons is Nurnberg. If you're not in Nurnberg, get there fast and remember to always deposit your gold coins with the Medici banker before leaving town.

mmediately try to find a church that can teach you one of the following saints: St. Wolfgang, St. Raymond Pf, and St. Wenceslaus. The reason for seeking out these specific Saints, is that they grant the ability to get an audience with the local noble at the town hall.
