In the game Medieval Dynasty, players can increase their diplomacy skill by interacting with NPCs, completing side quests, and gaining dynasty reputation points. Flirting and romancing NPCs can also contribute to diplomacy skill, however, this is no longer an option once the player is married. One of the most effective ways to increase diplomacy is through trading and selling items; the higher the price, the more diplomacy points are earned. For example, breeding and selling horses can be a quick way to increase diplomacy. Players can also send their heir to work in a market stall, which can help raise their diplomacy skill.

What You'll Learn
Flirting and romancing
Before you can start flirting with a woman, you will have to raise her approval rating to 60%. You cannot marry someone who is underage, older than you by more than 10 years, or already married. Once you have found a suitable partner, you can begin to flirt. There are four types of personalities: Busy Bee, Free Spirit, and Romantic. Each personality will react differently to your dialogue choices and gifts. The 'Empathy' Diplomacy Perk will help you figure out the NPC's personality when talking to them. Gifts can be purchased from the Exotic Vendor, and certain gifts will result in a positive reaction, such as an Amber Necklace or a bottle of Perfume for a Busy Bee.
When talking to a woman, you will have the option to romance them, but they can decline. To romance, click on the 'Romance' option, and a series of conversation choices will appear. Choose an option to say to the woman; if she is happy with what you say, you will gain affection points. Affection can range from 0 to 100. As you continue to chat with a woman, you can gain more affection points, and with 100 affection points, you can marry the woman. Some conversations will always raise affection points, for example, "I admire your dedication to your work...". When flirting with a woman, pay attention to her personality and interests.
You can also increase your diplomacy skill by buying and selling items. The higher the price, the more your diplomacy increases. Therefore, breeding and selling horses will make it go up relatively fast.

Buying and selling items
To buy and sell items, you need to interact with vendors, who are NPCs that sell and buy different kinds of items. You can access their inventory by interacting with them and selecting "show me your wares". To buy an item, click on it in their inventory and press F, and to sell an item, choose it from your inventory and press F.
So, what are the best items to sell? Here are some ideas:
- Stone knives and axes are great items to sell at the start of the game.
- Iron arrows, hammers, and knives are profitable, especially if you have a stable for easier transportation.
- Simple bags, used for sewing seeds, can be sold at almost four times the base material price required to craft them.
- Flax seeds are lightweight and give an excellent profit, but they only last a couple of seasons.
- Food and drink, such as pies, tarts, wine, and mead, are always in demand and can be sold for a good price.
- Crafting horseshoes with iron ingots can be a steady way to earn income, but the weight can limit how much you can haul and trade.

Completing quests
Diplomacy is a skill that improves your interactions with NPCs and your ability to gain dynasty reputation points. Completing side quests also increases your diplomacy skill. You can also increase your diplomacy skill by interacting with NPCs. Small talk and polite answers improve the approval of you. The more you talk to NPCs, the faster your diplomacy skill increases.
You can also increase your diplomacy skill by trading. Each item you trade gives you a diplomacy skill equal to 1% of the trade value. The higher the price, the more your diplomacy increases. For example, if you sell an item with a base price of 10 coins, you'd usually sell for 5 coins (50%). With a diplomacy skill of 1, you would sell for 10% more (60%, so 6 coins). Therefore, it is more convenient to sell a higher-priced item, such as a horse, as you will gain more diplomacy points.
Another way to increase your diplomacy skill is through your heir. You can start your heir working in a market stall as an apprentice when they are 14 years old. You can also have them hunt to raise their hunting skill and fish to raise their survival skill. Once they turn 18, you can start playing as your heir, and you will have a high diplomacy skill with no effort.

Using the Potion of Possibilities
The Potion of Possibilities is a useful tool to increase your diplomacy in Medieval Dynasty. This potion can be crafted in the Herbalist's Hut II and is unlocked once the player has access to the second Herbalist Hut. The potion costs 550 coins to purchase and requires the following ingredients: one Clay Vial, five Bitter Bolete Mushrooms, five Fly Agaric Mushrooms, five Wooly Milkcap Mushrooms, and one Mead. Villagers can produce the Potion of Possibilities when they are assigned as herbalists and have the required ingredients.
The Potion of Possibilities is unique in that it resets the player's skill points, allowing for reallocation and a new configuration of skills. This is particularly useful for players who want to refocus their character's abilities or experiment with different skill trees. Each skill tree has a maximum of 10 skill points, and skills can have 1 to 4 tiers, each requiring a skill point. By using the Potion of Possibilities, players can effectively respec their character, exploring different playstyles and strategies.
It is important to note that the Potion of Possibilities also has an interesting side effect: it sets the player's alcohol level to 100%, granting the achievement "I.. Am Not.. Drunk". This can lead to some humorous interactions with NPCs, especially the player's in-game wife, who may not appreciate a drunken spouse!
While the Potion of Possibilities can be a fun and strategic element in the game, it is not the only way to increase diplomacy. Players can also increase their diplomacy skill by buying and selling items, with higher-priced items providing more significant boosts. Additionally, completing side quests, paying taxes on time, and having your heir work in a market stall can all contribute to improving your diplomacy skills in Medieval Dynasty.

Assigning villagers to market stalls
Assigning villagers to be stallholders at a market stall is a great way to increase your diplomacy skill in Medieval Dynasty. Each item traded by the villager gives a diplomacy skill equal to 1% of the trade value. For example, if an item's base price is 10 coins, you would usually sell it for 5 coins, but with a diplomacy skill of 1, you can sell it for 6 coins.
The total amount of the trade is what counts towards your diplomacy skill, not the price of a single item. So, if you sell a single item for 1000 coins, or 100 items for 10 coins each, or 10,000 items for 0.1 coins each, you will gain roughly the same number of diplomacy points (around 10). Therefore, it is more convenient to sell a larger number of cheaper items than to rely on selling a single expensive item every day. For example, you can obtain and sell 1000 flax or wheat seeds more easily than horses.
You can also increase your diplomacy skill by having your heir work at a market stall. Once your heir turns 14, you can assign them to work as an apprentice at a market stall. This will quickly increase their diplomacy skill, and once they turn 18, you can start playing as your heir and benefit from their high diplomacy skill.
In addition to assigning villagers and heirs to market stalls, you can also increase your diplomacy skill by completing side quests, buying and selling items, and talking to NPCs.
