Commodities in Manor Lords are processed goods that become essential for appeasing settlers in the later stages of a campaign. With one exception, all commodities can only be crafted by upgrading the backyard extension of a level 2 burgage plot.

As goods that require skilled labor, commodities are always in-demand exports that can be traded away for a profit. However, as valuable goods, players will need to purchase a major trade route before traders will be willing to visit.
