Most efficient Stronghold progression after Curio Shop and garden for monster parts and plants per turn?

[SirMirrorcoat]

After 'rushing' building Curio Shop and the garden, what would be the best approach for the stronghold building to make the most money out of it?

[baldurs_gate_2]

I don't think the little money you make is even worth the building costs. The curio shop and botanical garden are important for crafting material, the warden's lodge for bounties, the merchant for supplies, blighthollow for resting.

[SirMirrorcoat]

lol, okay. so, not very well implemented, the stronghold?

[Boeroer]

No, not really.

But I would say that the Warden's Lodge is most desirable because the bounties he gives lead to lots of XP and also cool items. 

[SirMirrorcoat]

But aren't the bounties pretty much end-game content or are they possible at lower levels as well?

[Boeroer]

They start as mid game challenges (you can also do some at quite low levels with some decent tactics) and slowly become more difficult. With the expansions there are other places to get bounties which are really difficult. 

If you manage to do the early ones at low levels it's quite a boost in XP and item quality.
