If you’ve ever felt the Merchant Alliance seemed a bit persnickety, you’re not alone. Not only are they sticklers for time management, they also seem to predominantly traffic in finery: luxurious silks, exotic spices, and the like. They may be persnickety, but they won’t turn a blind eye to profit. Thus, it seems the Merchant Alliance has recently ...
Each week, the Merchant Alliance will post the Commodity Demand for each Outpost. Every Outpost will have one Surplus commodity and one Sought After commodity. There are seven commodities and seven Outposts. So, as you might expect, the “Surplus” and “Sought After” commodities are different for each Outpost. So, for example, only one Outpost will h...
Sitting on a pile of wooden crates next to each Merchant Alliance Representative, you will now see a new Merchant Alliance Outpost Inventory book. This book will list each Outpost’s needs and excesses. Okay, but what if you’re out at sea with some commodities to sell? It would be rather inefficient to sail to an Outpost just to read the inventory b...

This means, if you made your purchases at 3pm on the 17th, you could make these purchases again at 6am on the 20th. So, depending on what time of day you bo...
Assuming you’ve made your purchases, what more might you want to know before you go about selling? For starters, there are no refunds for buyer’s remorse. This means you can sell your commodities to any Outpost, exceptthe Outpost where you bought the items. So you’ll want to make sure you are committed to sailing to another Outpost to sell before y...
The simplest way to engage with these Trade Routes would likely be to purchase Surplus Commodities and sail them directly to the Outpost where they are Sought After. However, you could likely make even better use of your time. You could, for instance, sail to each Outpost, purchasing every commodity available, and selling only the Sought After comm...
Though the Gold might be reason enough to sail these Trade Routes, there are also new Emissary Trade Route Commendations for buying, selling, and even stealing these new Merchant Commodities. Haggler of Surplus Stock– Purchase Merchant Commodities at a discounted price. Profiteer of Sought Stock– Sell Merchant Commodities at an inflated price. Take...
Commodities are not the only thing you can now purchase from the Merchant Alliance. You can now also purchase Resource Crates such as Cannonball Crates and Fruit Crates at Outposts for gold. For more about this new mechanic, you can check out our article that covers it all here.
