In the short term, I don’t spend much money on them outside of buying horses when they have some of the riding skills. Later on, as I upgrade my own gear I start to pass things down to them or buy them something when I find a decent deal. This allows them to have some chain mail, upgraded weapons, some of their armor slots to be filled. One easy way I choose to gear them up is by farming Sea Raider since they drop some better gear you can get early in the game. You also have to gear form them up which becomes quite expensive. They level up like your own character and you can even spend points on attributes, skills, and proficiencies for them. Unlike other troops in the game, these guys and gals cannot be killed. This is where things require a bit of balance between short term and long term thinking in tactics and where you to want to end up.

While also raising some funds as well in doing in between the long distance traveled between taverns. It was about time I started to go around the kingdoms and find some companions I’m lacking to join my cause.
