How to get better advisors

europa-universalis-iv

I am currently overflowing with money as the Ottomans through trade and tax income from my many provinces, but to keep up with the large European nations I have a constant need for more monarch power (administrative, diplomatic and military points).

As far as I know the best way to actively increase my monarch point income is by hiring better advisors.

As money is not an issue, I could easily hire lvl 3 advisors in all categories, but unfortunately the candidates I get often are only lvl 1 or lvl 2.

Is there a way to influence the candidates for advisor slots to become better? (i.e. expensive level 3 advisors) I know this is random to a large degree and that you can get an additional advisor slot through ideas, but I am looking for any way to boost the quality of the candidates.

If I'm not wrong, you can get more available advisors through idea paths.

For example, the economic path opens one advisor slot :

Centralization

So does the administrative one.

Administrative

With the centralization bonus (from the economic path), I can choose from 4 different advisors :

And this for each type of advisor.

That should help you to get better advisors.
