@Jorn_Weines I always take what I think will be easy to complete ambitions before taking the noble house reputation one which will then allow you to get the noble contracts. In my current game I already had the renown to Get noble contracts once I took that ambition so I always have tons of missions if I move between houses. But I savescum a lot to make sure I always can complete missions and still I don’t turn any down. I just reload if I pick one that’s too hard. Otherwise check taverns (you can leave town and then go right back in for new tip for free) or ask for tips to find out locations of camps and clear those. Might get expensive just roaming the countryside at random. I’m pretty sure clearing camps gives more renown than random wandering groups.
