As an Emissary for the Merchant Brotherhood in Sea of Thieves, you'll exist embarking on different Trade Routes to sell Commodity Crates to different outposts; each outpost will have one commodity in surplus, and i commodity that is highly sought-after — buying commodities in surplus from ane outpost and selling them to an outpost where they are sought-out will result in profit.

The Sea of Thieves customs has found a few means to efficiently make the rounds to maximize their profit and value from these Merchandise Routes. Our method essentially involves going around all seven Outposts in Ocean of Thieves in a circumvolve and buying all Article Crates at each ane.

How to maximize and optimize profit in Merchandise Routes

You will want to go around all seven Outposts in a circle, clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on your preference, or if there are Reapers on the map you desire to avoid. The Outposts in clockwise society, starting with the very center north (i.e., "12 o'clock"), are as follows:

  • Dagger Tooth Outpost (North)
  • Galleon's Grave Outpost (Northeast)
  • Morrow'southward Elevation Outpost (Southeast)
  • Ancient Spire Outpost (Southward)
  • Plunder Outpost (Southwest)
  • Golden Sands Outpost (West)
  • Sanctuary Outpost (Northwest)

At whichever Outpost you spawn at or are otherwise on, you will want to enhance the Merchant Alliance Emissary Flag; subsequently this, buy every unmarried commodity crate yous can at the Outpost. Then, you will want to organize these crates on your ship in a circumvolve, with each office of the circle respective to which Outpost the Commodity is sought-after on the map. Exist sure to check the Outpost Inventories next to the Merchat Alliance vendor at the Outpost dock.

In this instance of the week of Apr 26, the crates are organized in this order, clockwise from the very top:

  • Unsorted Silks (N)
  • Unfiltered Minerals (Northeast)
  • Raw Carbohydrate (Southeast)
  • Unprocessed Tea (Due south)
  • Unrefined Spices (Southwest)
  • Broken Stone (Westward)
  • Assorted Gemstones (Northwest)

Save yourself the travel time by sailing to the closest Outpost to you — one time yous get to the adjacent Outpost, sell the sought-after Commodity Crates, and then once again buy every Commodity Crate that vendor tin offer. Organize the crates on your ship and stack them up. You will amass numerous commodities, and y'all'll go to the point where yous tin can sell multiple of the same i in a unmarried Outpost trip.

With this route, yous won't have to keep checking the inventory and map — you'll only accept to do this when you showtime log in and kickoff organizing these crates. Through this organization and optimization, you'll have a visual representation of where you need to become and what commodity to sell where through your circumvolve of crates. A few rotations should garner you millions of gold.
