If it's your first time speaking to them, they'll talk about how the arena and tournaments work.If you want to take advantage of tournaments for renown, money or pure entertainment, they're not too difficult to find. For example, weapon skills like One Handed, Two Handed, and Bow, all impact how much damage you deal and how fast you can attack. One important thing to note about tournaments is that you're on a fair playing field as everyone else. This is a decent method for closing the gap on your first 50 renown. If you're confident in your combat skills, compete in tournaments for 3 renown per win.

Tournaments are a good way to mix things up and get a little renown alongside a chunk of money.

Talk to any lord from that kingdom and follow these dialogue options: It only requires finding a lord from the kingdom you want to join and having a short conversation with them. Unlike previous Mount & Blade games, you can thoroughly influence how a kingdom operates.ДЇortunately, becoming a mercenary or vassal in Bannerlord is easy. If you've already reached Clan Tier 2 (150 renown), you can become a vassal instead of only a mercenary. Also, for each battle you win as a mercenary, your kingdom pays 15 denars. As long as you win those battles, you'll get a chunk of renown regardless of whether you bring 10 or 100 soldiers to the battle. Once you do, kingdoms are frequently warring with each other, presenting an opportunity for constant action.Д«y coordinating with friendly lords that have massive armies, you can take part in giant battles. Until finishing the 'Rebuild Your Clan' quest, you can't become a mercenary.

When you're more experienced, taking on enemy lords that have stronger units can yield good amounts of renown too.ДЄnother great source of renown is joining a kingdom once you reach Clan Tier 1 (50 renown).

These function as a spawner and base that they love to patrol near.

If you plan on farming renown using Looters and Bandits, don't destroy their Hideouts.

So long as you have more units than a band of Looters, you'll often win automated battles and get a few renown depending on their size. However, whether it's the beginning of your Bannerlord run or not, Looters are always a great source of renown. This isn't the only way to get large amounts of renown, but it's a good measure for how much you'll gain. If you have an army of 20 units and you go against one with 30, you'll get more than fighting a smaller group instead. The best way to get renown in Bannerlord revolves around fighting groups of enemies with more units than you.
