Another potential option would be Reyvadin because you start closer to the bandit and merchant which can cut time down thereвЂ¦ But the tournament is a lot more random. When selecting your starting location you want to select Sargoth as the tournament held by Nords will never have you worrying about horses or bows making it much quicker and more predictable as any remaining enemies will run towards you instead of keeping their distance. Put all proficiency points into one handed weapons.Дo whatever you want when setting your appearance, I generally just press randomise. You then want to max out power strike and athletics again for the damage and speed, extra skill points can be put into weapon master if itвЂ™s below 2 or ironflesh for more health. What youвЂ™ll want for attributes is a mix of strength and agility for damage and movement speed ideally 12 strength and 9-10 athletics. Now youвЂ™ve made your selections itвЂ™s time to put your skill and stat points to use. I personally go with Warrior, Page, Squire, Revenge. Forced Out is the only real contender but, by this stage selecting optimal choices your weapons master skill should be high enough.ДЄs an example the world record as of writing selects Hunter, Street Urchin, Squire, Revenge. Other options here that give useful stats are Loss with +1 ironflesh, Wanderlust +2 Agility, Forced out +1 Strength, +1 weapons master and Money +1 Agility. Revenge gives +2 Strength and +1 power strike. Smith is probably the second best option, it gives +1 strength, +1 intelligence +1 weapons master and +11 One Handed which is all inferior or equal to Squire.ДЇourth selection screen(reason for adventuring) is a relatively easy choice with Revenge being the option you choose. Also giving +1 power strike further increasing melee damage and +1 weapons master allowing your proficiency to go higher. Along with +1 Strength +1 Agility which are the two stats you want to improve giving hp and speed. Squire is the best choice in these options giving proficiencies in everything with +23 One Handed and +38 Two handed being the most important. The third selection(Adulthood) in normal plays will generally determine the items you have with you at the start, but those are largely irrelevant in this run. While Urchin will give +1 Agility and +1 intelligence.along with +8 One Handed. Page will add +1 to Strength and +1 Charisma along with +1 power strike and +8 one handed. The second selection (Early life) will be a choice between Page and Urchin none of the others give worthwhile proficiencies. While warrior is for just helping you gain points in ironflesh and power strike which let you take more damage and deal more melee damage.

The choice of Hunter will help you to move quicker and close the gaps in the larger arenas quicker while also giving you decent damage. While Warrior gives 1 Strength, 1 Agility and 1 Charisma along with +1 ironflesh, +1 power strike and +1 weapon master with +2 one handed proficiency and +23 two handed proficiency. The important stats that Hunter gives are +1 to Strength and +2 to Agility along with +1 to Athletics and +15 to two handed proficiency.

The first selection (Your father wasвЂ¦) you will want to make after this is a choice between Hunter and Warrior, though Nomad and Thief also add some desirable stats but not enough to counter the good spreads from both Hunter and Warrior. Female gives +1 Agility and +1 Int, while also removing the Squire option later on, which is what this run usesвЂ¦ So pick male. You will be selecting Male as this will give you +1 to strength and charisma. While in most games this is a cosmetic choice in Mount & Blade: Warband each gender gives different stats. Combat and campaign AI set to poor and combat speed set to fastest.Д¬haracter Creation:(ideal selections in bold if youвЂ™re not interested in the reasoning behind choices)Д¬haracter creation is the most important part of many M&B speedruns as they give your starting stats and items and most categories will be over before you reach level 2 so the starting stats are extremely important.ДЇirst step is gender selection. You want both damage modifiers reduced to easiest.

YouвЂ™ll want to make the game settings ideal for the completion of this category by making fighting as easy as possible for you.
