Warband Best Skills
There are 24 skills in TaleWorlds' cRPG of 2010, Mount & Blade: Warband. Each skill has a governing attribute that determines how many ranks can be taken in the skill.
The best martial skills in Warband are Power Strike and Power Draw, whereas the best utility skills are Trainer, Surgery, Spotting and Path-finding.
The best skills for making money are Looting, Trade, Prison Management and Inventory Management.
If the player character attains 10 in a party skill (such as spotting), they automatically gain the full +4 party skill bonus for that skill (regardless of companion ranks in the skill).
Warband skills cap out at 10 ranks maximum though the engine supports up to 15 ranks maximum on some skills (with modifiers supported).
Athletics Warband
Athletics improves your running speed. (Agility, Personal skill)
From my tests, maxing Agility and Athletics results in run-speed x2. While that can be useful in sieges, on battlefields you are better off riding a horse (and dismounting if you want to flank formations on-foot).
Engineer Warband
This skill allows you to construct siege equipment and fief improvements more efficiently. (Intelligence, Party skill)
Artimenner.
First Aid Warband
Heroes regain 5% per skill level of hit-points lost during mission. (Intelligence, Party skill)
Jeremus.
Horse Archery Warband
Reduces damage and accuracy penalties for archery and throwing from horseback. (Agility, Personal skill)
Inventory Management Warband
Increases inventory capacity by +6 per skill level. (Intelligence, Leader skill)
You should take 1 point of Inventory Management as early as possible.
Ironflesh Warband
Each point to this skill increases hit points by +2. (Strength, Personal skill)
Looting Warband

You can increase party size by farming Renown (beating large forces with small forces).
Prisoner Management Warband
Every level of this skill increases maximum number of prisoners by 5. (Charisma, Leader skill)
Use Slaver Chiefs or Mamlukes to knock out and capture enemies. Then, sell the prisoners to slavers at taverns.
