Influence

whats a good way to get influence at the start?
whats the best starting stuff 2?

Just complete missions for the lords of your faction, it will increase your rank as well as your weekly influence.
and best starting stuff? Do you mean what weapons/gear you should use early in the game?
If you don't have much money, just take whatever you can loot, the higher armor the better. As for weapons, it depends on what you like, but I find the easiest way to slaughter some bandits is with a mount & a blade

does anyone know a way i can get influence faster?
like cheating or hacking?

There's no way to "hack" it, because it's coded. You'd have to start digging around the code, and change the variable for influence gain. I'm happy with it as-is.

Double posted for bump.

Well, I found what MIGHT change the Influence gain, but I don't know how to decipher it.
