You will also be able to increase your magic resistance and purchase spells and items once you have chosen a school.įor magic to work you need to equip your magic lore item and leave one slot free. Each town offers different schools of magic depending on which faction owns the town.

There you can find the guild menu where you can learn about the schools you can learn, what kind of spells they have and what the lore attribute is. Once you have 1 point in your magic control skill, you can visit any town and find the magic guild(s) at the town activity menu, at the top of the town menu. Magic relies on quite a few things to work, your luck with the tides of the Winds of Magic, your skills and magical proficiencies, and of course, general RNG. "Time of writing" and "current point of time" both refer to the latest builds/versions of the mod. Some other spells might not be working properly at the current point of time due to various, already named reasons.

Global chat, as you might imagine, can be pretty godawful at times, but as you get further away from your starting point, you'll get a bit of breathing room and a break from the constant chat messages.For magic to work, it is required to run the game through the Warband Script Enhancer (WSE for short).

It really does feel very much the same as the singleplayer version of the game, except, you know… the hundreds of other people you see everywhere. You'll join the world, create a new character, and start playing. Just make an account when prompted, confirm your email, and then login. It's extremely painless getting it to run. To try it yourself, you'll need a copy of Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord installed, and the mod's launcher which you can download here. For now, I'd still recommend trying out the single server in Russia-it fits 800 people, which still seems amazing to me, and there were about 625 players when I tried it. It looks like there are plans to add a server in Europe and one in the US, eventually. But otherwise, Bannerlord Online runs surprisingly smoothly. Most of the lag I experienced took place in menus-checking my inventory and selling items to NPC merchants is a very sluggish process.
