Trying to understand the inner workings of Manor Lords wealth?Money inManor Lordsisn’t quite as simple as how many coins you have for building projects. Funds are split into your Treasury - that’s how much you, the Lord, owns - and Regional Wealth, which is the local wealth of each of your settlements.
Regional Wealth is extremely important for facilitating trade of essential resources, purchasing Livestock, and expanding your Burgage Plots with farms and workshops. This guide will explain everything you need to know onManor Lordswealth, allowing you to boost your settlement’s overall Regional Wealth to new levels.

How to get Regional Wealth in Manor Lords
There are three main ways to increase Regional Wealth in Manor Lords:
Sell products at Trading Posts
Trading Posts are the main place you’ll gain (and spend) Regional Wealth in most Manor Lords playthroughs. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Hooded Horse
Setting up trade routes at a Trading Post is a good way to earn a lot of consistent Regional Wealth, because as long as you keep track of your surplus resources, you can just constantly sell off resources down to a certain number.
Upgrade Burgage Plots
Another decent passive source of Regional Wealth comes later on, with the upgrading of Burgage Plots. Upgrading a Burgage Plot to Level 2 will earn you 1 Regional Wealth per family per month. Upgrading to Level 2 increases that rate to 2 Regional Wealth per family per month.

So once you’ve got up to the stage of a “Medium Town”, for example, with 10 Level 2 and 10 Level 3 Burgage Plots, you’ll be earning 30-60 Regional Wealth per month passively, without having to trade or tax anything.

What is Regional Wealth used for in Manor Lords?
Regional Wealth differs from your Treasury in a couple of ways. Firstly, every settlement can have a different amount of Regional Wealth, so it’s a centralised currency. The second is how Regional Wealth is used.
The three most important ways to use Regional Wealth are for trading resources at Trading Posts, purchasing Livestock at a Hitching Post (or Stable), and building workshops in the backyards of Burgage Plots. These are all very important aspects of building up your settlement, which means you’ll need a lot of Regional Wealth in order to reach the largest possible settlement level.
More Regional Wealth means more workshops in your Burgage Plots, which eventually lead to better weapons and armor for your troops. It all adds up. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Hooded Horse
The biggest cost incurred upon your Regional Wealth will be in the import of goods via the Trading Post. For example, if you want to raise an army to defeatBanditsor defend againstRaidersand you don’t have the equipment for them, you’ll need to purchase them from travelling merchants using Regional Wealth, and that can end up costing a fair bit.
To that end - we’d recommend you beeline towards Trade Logistics and then Better Deals in theDevelopment Points tech tree, to drastically reduce the amount of Regional Wealth you need to spend while trading. You’ll earn development points to spend in this tree when you reach new settlement levels, so you might want to save the bulk of your really expensive trading until you’ve reached the “Medium Village” level.
