Charisma set need to be fancy and luxurious, and it is best to carry lots of useless decorations.

Tips
- Before going into town, please make sure your clothes are clean and free of bloodstains. If have, you should go to the bathhouse or laundry to clean it, otherwise your charisma will decrease.
3. Dry Your Food
Just like in real life, food in KCD 2 will spoil quickly. So please check their freshness before eating. Otherwise, it could lead to food poisoning and then weaken your body.

4. Sleep Well
Sleep is one of the best ways to improve your Strength and Vitality. You can either wander around looking for an unoccupied bed, spend money on a hotel room, or go to the trouble of getting your own bed once and for all. For all I know, a free bed can be obtained by completing the blacksmith's masks in Tachov, in the northwest of Troskowitz. No matter which method you choose, be sure to get enough sleep as soon as you see the bed.
5. Own a Horse
Horse is essential in KCD 2 because changing your locations was difficult in the 15th century. But there's no need to but them at sky-high prices, ask for one from NPCs or steal one. Just be warned: stolen horses must be quickly taken to a black market horse handker to be re-registered at a lower price. If your get a horse that happens to be Herring or Pebbles. They have a both a hidden perk to increase their stats completely if you've ridden the course long enough and your relationship is good enough. Your horse can also serve as an excellent inventory container, but remember not to overfill it.
