Veteran System

The Veteran System allows experienced players to gain Veteran Skills which grant passive bonuses to the current warband as well as perks which apply to every warband they create.

The left hand side of the Veteran System screen shows you your Veteran Rank. Underneath this panel is the Current Perks panel, showing you all the bonuses your warbands have acquired. These include reduced purchase costs and improved selling prices in the Shop, increased warband starting gold and higher level Hired Swords in the rotation. Below this panel, you can see what benefits will be gained with the next Veteran Rank.

On the right hand side of the screen the Tasks and Veteran Skills panels.

Tasks are achievements that will grant experience towards your Veteran Rank. These include winning a certain number of battles, putting enemies Out of Action and completing Story Missions for each warband. You can scroll through the list to see all of the available Tasks. Each Task has multiple requirements, such as a progressively higher number of Wyrdstone deliveries to make in order to fully complete it. Completing a Task will cross it out, indicating that the task is complete and you have earned all of the Veteran points that Task had to offer.

Veteran Skills are skills that cost Veteran Points, gained when you attain a new Veteran Rank. From Veteran Rank 11 onward, each new Rank awards 2 Veteran Points. New skills costs a single Veteran Point and can be upgraded by spending another point. These skills provide benefits such as reduced treatment costs for injured warriors, a chance for a new weapon, armour or consumable each new day and reduced gold costs for learning new skills.

Increasing your Veteran Rank will grant all warbands you have or create:
 * More starting gold
 * Better selling prices in the Shop
 * Lower buying prices in the Shop
 * More and higher level available Hired Swords in the rotation
 * An additional location on the Campaign Map.

Your Veteran Rank carries over to all of your warbands but you can select different Veteran Skills for each warband you have. Once an in-game year, on Witching Day, your warband will receive a Respec Point which can be used to refund all of your spent Veteran Points, allowing you to reassign them as you see fit. This may be useful when you no longer have need of a specific Veteran Skill, such as one of the Contacts who delivers a specific type of item.
