In the Legacy of the Forge DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Henry joins the Blacksmiths' Guild and takes over a ruined forge. To upgrade the forge, which becomes his house, including chambers, the backyard, and the exterior, Henry will need to pay Groschen. However, each upgrade is also locked behind a Prestige level.
Best Games Where You Play As A Blacksmith
These games allow players to hammer away at anvils as blacksmiths and run their own forge.
What Is Prestige In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
Prestige is a new stat that can be found in the Player Menu below Henry's main stats, such as Strength and Speech. With each level of Prestige gained, Henry will be able to furnish his chambers or forge with new upgrades or cosmetic options.
Naturally, players will want to know how to increase Prestige quickly in KCD2, so that they can unlock the best forge upgrades, with one of the last being a raven for Henry's chambers.
Play Through The Legacy Of The Forge Quests
Pretty much all the Legacy of the Forge quests reward Prestige, as Henry is usually helping the guild in one way or another. A few of these quests may be locked until Henry increases his Prestige via other means, but once they become available, they are great sources of Prestige.
Complete Daily Guild Quests For Prestige & Groschen
After advancing through part of the Legacy of the Forge DLC and completing Klaus' Introduction Task, players will unlock daily Guild Quests. These are the best ways to earn Prestige.
These Guild Quests have an orange icon, and players will usually get three new quests a day. If you're trying to grind Prestige with nothing else to do, complete these and then sleep until the next day to keep earning Prestige.
New daily quests appear at 09:00 am! (In-game time).
Blacksmith Commissions - Forge Weapons
One of the most common Guild Quest types is Blacksmith Commissions. Characters will wait at the forge or tell Magdalena and ask Henry to forge a specific weapon. Players will need the correct blueprint, which they will usually have, as well as the required materials, which can be bought from fellow smiths. If players don't know the recipe, there will be a map marker for where they can learn it. Master Bushek the Elder, next to the Hangman's Halter tavern, has a lot of sketches.
Make sure the weapon is of high quality, as customers expect the best. If you produce something of a Bronze quality, it's best to start again. Also, remember to sharpen the weapon before delivering.
To earn extra Groschen, forge any items and put them in the Sales Chest to be sold over time by Magdalena. Make sure to check back with her every few days.
Donations
The first donation quest will be Magdalena asking Henry to deliver eggs to a priest. This isn't the donation, but a means of introducing Henry to Father Frantishek. He will tell Henry that he can periodically donate at the church box next to him. In return for some Groschen, Henry will gain Prestige. It seems that the more you give, the more you gain.
However, there is then a cooldown before Henry can donate again, so players will need to wait for the next daily donation quest to appear many days later. This donation box is different from Indulgence Chests, where Henry restores Reputation.
Archery Contest
The first time players have the Archery quest, they will talk to a member of the guild and then be taken by his apprentice to a range by a quarry. Try to win so that the guild can continue to shoot here. After that, archery contests will pop up from time to time, and are a good way to earn some extra Prestige while betting Groschen. Having a high Marksmanship skill will naturally help.
Also, make sure to bring a bow with you and equip it. Arrows are not needed.
Dice Games
Henry's first dice game with a guild member happens early on, and they are one of the quickest ways to earn Prestige if players can reliably win. Having the best dice in KCD2 helps significantly.
Duels
Another of the daily Guild Quests is duels. These are naturally a great option for those who have leveled up Henry's combat skills, allowing them to finish off opponents fast and gain Prestige.

There are 50 Achievements/Trophies For Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Here's how to unlock them all.
Investigation
Investigation tasks with the eye icon seem to be handed out by Master Klaus Eichner at his workshop/house. They involve hunting down bandits who have attacked guild convoys. While they may take a fair amount of time, players will usually find plenty of materials for blacksmithing, and any armor looted from bandits can be put in the Sales Chest.
Feel free to turn down or ignore these daily quests; Henry will not suffer a Prestige loss, and there will be new quests on the morrow.
Unlock Some Forge Upgrades That Provide Prestige Boosts
While Prestige is mostly used to unlock new upgrades for Henry's forge and chambers, there are a few upgrades that, in turn, increase his Prestige gains. If players are focused on farming Prestige in KCD2, they should aim to unlock these as soon as possible for maximum efficiency.
