Cargo trading is the purchase, transport, and sale of cargo from one port to another in order to gain doubloons.
How to Cargo Trade
Buying Cargo
Each of the named islands has a Trader NPC found on that island's docks, which sells a unique type of cargo (with the exception of Clydesdale and Saint Christopher, which are fort islands and thus does not have cargo). Interacting with the vendor’s will open the shop menu. Regular cargo (bought with doubloons) will return the least profit, Premium cargo (bought with copper or mahogany) will return more profit, and fish cargo (bought with fish) will generally return the highest profit. Cargo will be automatically stored in the ship's cargo hold when it is bought.
Transporting Cargo
Cargo can be transported to another island by storing it on a ship (as well as your hand), and then sailing to that island. The further away the destination island is from the cargo’s origin, the higher the sale price and experience gain (experience is proportional to the amount of profit).
Selling Cargo
To sell the cargo you picked up, walk over to the black square with the words “drop to sell your cargo” on the docks of that island, then press F again to drop the cargo onto the square. If you were the person who bought the cargo that was sold, you will gain a 30 doubloons commission on top of the regular revenue.
Mechanics
Price
New low level players can buy regular cargo for free. The price of cargo increases as the player levels up, up to 30 doubloons.
Crew
For more details, see Crew.
When you are in a crew, all crew members will get doubloons as well as experience from sold cargo, but the revenue and experience is reduced slightly for crew members compared to the captain. Having a crew with a number of members greater than the amount of broadside cannons on the side of the ship will cause the crew to earn less doubloons from sold cargo.
Stealing Cargo
Cargo can be taken from enemy factions' cargo hold on their ships. Cargo stolen in this fashion will sell for 2.5x the regular sell price of the cargo.
