Editing the Character file. Now go the "My Documents" or to your "Documents" folder.

There open the folder named "Mount&Blade Warband Characters"

Warnings

Make sure you do not change your character name before importing because it imports character by the name.Read "char_export.txt" file in CharExport folder for more info.

Games are made for providing fun to player but there is no fun if there is no challenge in game. That is why cheats are not advised to be used, unless you are stuck or you just want some fun being so strong or just because you simply you want to cheat!

It is strongly recommended that you do not increase your skills directly. Increase only attribute points, skill points and weapon points first and then increase your skills and proficiencies by opening the game and going to the character screen where you can increase your skills more easily. By this way you can avoid any malfunctions or errors in game, such as increasing your looting skill to 50 instead of keeping uppermost limit at ten.
