I just realized I've been playing homesteads completely wrong. I always thought the steward was just there to manage stuff while I'm gone, but I started paying attention to how much gold they actually spend on materials and it's wild. Like, if you give them a decent budget they'll legitimately finish wing construction while you're off doing other stuff.
But here's the thing - I've been comparing notes with my friends and apparently nobody agrees on what the "right" budget actually is. I've been doing like 500 gold and it feels slow, but I also don't want to dump 2000 gold and come back to find they've somehow wasted it all on... I dunno, iron ingots they don't need? Does anyone else micromanage this or am I just being paranoid about gold?
Also has anyone figured out if the steward's skill level actually matters? Like, is Rayya better at managing materials than some random Dawnstar guard, or does it not make a difference? I feel like I've been picking stewards based on who I like rather than who's actually competent.
