Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Fans Want Better Loot Progression

Summary

  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 merchants offer low resale value, frustrating players trying to earn Groschen.
  • They don’t have enough money if you want to sell high-value goods.
  • Capitalism is the real enemy.

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the game accurately portrays life during the Middle Ages. To begin with, you have hardly any money in your possession, leading you to perform humble jobs to earn some cash and maintain a decent reputation. Instead of relying on wealth, Henry adopts various tasks such as carrying bags, crafting horseshoes, concocting herbs, and mending footwear for small amounts of money.

However, another aspect of this game that significantly enhances the immersion is the merchant class exploiting the peasants. For instance, consider the intricately designed plate armor you fought seven bandits to obtain, valued at 1240 Groschen. Unfortunately, the blacksmith can only offer a mere 321 for it. Keep in mind that he’s assuming all the risks in this transaction.

Why Is The Resale Value Of Armour And Weapons So Low In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

This situation can be quite aggravating because, early in the game, you really need that Groschen and your lower skill level likely meant you had to work extra hard – maybe even lose a few times – to get it. This has sparked some confusion among players about the game’s economic system. A post by nicknack020 on KCD succinctly expresses this frustration: “It feels like trying to trade in at your local GameStop,” said one comment.

After reaching higher levels and accumulating a good deal of loot, you might assume that trading it would bring in plenty of Groschen. However, the game restricts such transactions, making it challenging to offload all your items at once due to the limited funds traders possess. In time, you’ll come across armor pieces valued over 3000 Groschen, but even in major cities like Kuttenberg, armourers often have only a few hundred coins on hand.

Another player proposed a change in the game’s economy, suggesting that items they purchase at a reduced price should allow them to earn more when reselling, saying something like “It would be great if their maximum profits could adjust dynamically…if they get such good deals buying gear from me, it seems only fair that they can turn around and make a profit selling it.

Including the “overburden” aspect means you’ll need to manage your items, your horse, and the trader all at once. Fortunately, developers understand the economic imbalance in the latter half of the game and are working on adjusting it for a more balanced experience.
