Gold, markets & barter
Trade and supplies
Use Gold, useful cargo and good preparation to keep your voyages moving.
Find opportunity in port
Gold is the game’s everyday currency. Spend it on equipment, supplies and ship services. Ports trade cargo through their imports and exports, while carried items belong in your pirate’s inventory.
Read the market
Check what a port buys and sells before committing your cargo space.
Prepare your loadout
Carry the food, tools, ammunition and repair materials your next voyage needs.
A useful route is a reward of its own
Combine trade with quests and exploration. A well planned trip can deliver a contract, visit another island and bring useful goods back to port. Keep enough supplies for the return journey.
