Cargo

Buy cargo in one town and sell it where the price is higher. Compare 36 city traders and 11 cargo types. All prices and profits are in Pieces of Eight per cargo item.

How cargo trading works

The cargo board opens the city price list; the cargo map frame opens the cargo map. Use your Interact control near either board. Their city listings show what each trader sells and buys.

Selling cargo starts at 35 faction reputation. Buying starts at 60, with higher-tier cargo unlocking at 75 or 100. Each offer below shows its requirement. Remove cargo from ship-mounted storage before bottling your ship.

Board routes follow the in-game recommendations. Choose “All profitable trades” to compare every destination with a higher buying price. Profit is the selling return minus the purchase price.
