Smuggler's Den

Collecting and sending shipments of Wyrdstone to factions is your principal task in Mordheim. Seeing the factions available, their rewards and sending shipment requests can be done from the **Smuggler's Den**.

The Sumggler's Den unlocks after you complete your first battle. Each warband has a Primary faction and 2 Secondary factions who they can choose to send Wyrdstone to. Sending shipments of Wyrdstone to factions grants gold, and an increased reputation with that faction. The reputation gained is equal to the weight of the Wyrdstone shipment sent. Increasing your reputation with a faction to specific levels will give your warband significant rewards. These rewards include gaining an extra day to complete Wyrdstone Requests, being able to hire specific warriors from other warbands and being granted free, high-level units and high-quality items. You can scroll the right hand panel to see what rewards increased reputation with the currently selected faction will grant.

To send a shipment of Wyrdstone, you can select the faction then, using the arrows in the center panel, adjust the individual amounts of each Wyrdstone you wish to send. As you increase or decrease these amounts, the gold and reputation the shipment will grant you will change so that you can see your expected payment. Selecting the 'Send Shipment' button will start the delivery, updating the screen to show how many shipments are in transit and how long they will take to reach their destination. Payment will be received when the shipments arrive at the faction.

The gold you receive for Wyrdstone deliveries is modified by your warband's reputation with all 3 factions. Factions will pay you a percentage in addition to the base prices for Wyrdstone when your reputation with them is lower than other factions as an incentive to get you to send them deliveries. Conversely, it will require more Wyrdstone to gain reputation levels with factions who your warband have lower reputations with.

Sending a shipment and receiving the gold in payment takes a number of days depending on the weight of the Wyrdstone shipment sent. Deliveries always take at least one day to complete but can take many days if you send large shipments. If you have a shipment in transit and send another shipment to the same faction, you will have to wait for all of the shipments to arrive before you receive your payment.

### Shipment Requests

Periodically, your Primary faction will request a Wyrdstone delivery. This will appear in the form of a message when you begin a new day. You will be asked to deliver a specific amount within a number of days. Remember: it is imperative that you meet this request within the number of days allotted - you will risk losing the game should you fail to meet requests 4 times! These shipments must be sent in full when requested - you can't send multiple shipments that make up the total request. However, you can send additional Wyrdstone - the faction will reward you with more gold, in addition to the amount stated in the request, and additional reputation based on the weight of extra Wyrdstone you send. Pay close attention to how much gold your Primary faction will offer you for additional Wyrdstones, as this may not be as much as one of the other factions is willing to offer you instead.

Sending a shipment request at any time before the deadline will still prevent requests happening in the remaining days. This means that there is no penalty for sending shipments early. If you have only one day left before you send a shipment, you will still complete the delivery without penalty, even if it takes longer than the allotted time to arrive at the faction. However, you may receive another request only a few days later...

Shipment requests will be larger based on your warband rank, up to a maximum of 400. Previously failing a request will apply a modifier to the next request, increasing the amount requested and lowering the amount of gold the faction is willing to pay for it. You will be expected to send an extra 25% if you have failed to send one shipment, 50% extra for the second time and 100% extra for the third time. Your warband will be punished with injuries for failing twice and three times, and ultimately one of your warriors will be executed if you fail a forth and final time!
