Trading is one of the best ways to earn gold and prestige fast in Skull and Bones. This comprehensive trading guide will share all the tips and tricks you need to know to become a master trader.

Understanding Supply and Demand

The key to profitable trading is knowing what items are in high demand and short supply in different regions. Check your map to see the current status of each commodity. Sell high-demand items for maximum profit, or buy Skull and Bones items cheap to sell elsewhere.

Sources of Goods

Raid merchants ships and plunder forts to acquire a variety of goods for trading. You can also purchase cargo directly from some traders. Shipwrecks often hold buried treasure chests full of valuables too.

Maximizing Your Haul

Upgrade your ship's cargo capacity as soon as possible. Store extra inventory in your warehouses until you're ready to make a delivery run. Don't sell everything right away - stockpile to take advantage of rotating demand.

Location is Key

Different ports will pay more or less depending on their needs. Deliver tea to India or spices to Europe for top Silver. Use fast travel to avoid transportation costs eating into profits.

Playing the Market

Keep an eye out for short-term demand spikes you can take advantage of. Buy up cargo wherever it's cheap before transporting to another port for major markups. With some investment, you too can manipulate prices!

Specialty Goods

Rarer cargo like gold, exotic artifacts and legendary monster materials command ultra-high prices. Focus on these scarce luxury items for maximum earnings. Share trading routes with your fleet!

Be Friendly (And Cautious) With Other Players

Work together with other traders to control supply networks. But watch your back, as some players may turn pirate and plunder your goods! Trade safely at well-defended ports.

With some startup silver for investments and the trading tricks laid out in this guide, you'll soon be the richest pirate in the Caribbean. Keep those cargo holds full and profits rolling in!
