Ah, so ya want to know ’bout them trading routes in the Sea of Thieves, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, it ain’t all that complicated, but it sure can get a bit tricky if ya don’t know where to look. See, each week the Merchant Alliance, they change up them trade routes. It’s like they got a map all hidden away and decide to mix things up depending on what stuff they got too much of or too little of.
Now, let me break it down for ya. There’s always one place where they got too much of somethin’, and they call that the “Surplus.” Then there’s another place where they ain’t got enough, and that’s the “Sought After.” If you’re smart, ya follow them trade routes and pick up the goods from where they got too much, then take ’em to where they need it. Simple, right? ‘Course, it ain’t always that easy, but that’s the gist of it.
Ya see, it ain’t just about the loot, it’s ’bout the strategy. Some outposts, they might be wantin’ more bananas, while others be runnin’ low on gunpowder. So, you gotta keep your eye out and make sure you’re pickin’ up the right stuff at the right time. And don’t even get me started on them other pirates! They ain’t always the friendliest bunch, especially when you got a good haul. Ya gotta keep yer ship ready for a fight, just in case.
Now, ya might be wonderin’, which Merchant Alliance company should ya join? Well, that depends on what kind of quests you like. I reckon the Gold Hoarders might be the most familiar to ya, with all them treasure maps and riddles. They got them X marks the spot kinda quests, so if you’re good at findin’ things, this might be the company for ya.
But, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ a bit different, you might wanna try out the Order of Souls. They got them fancy quests where you hunt down skeletons and all that. It ain’t as easy as just diggin’ up treasure, but it sure is fun if you like a good challenge.
Now, lemme tell ya somethin’. Back in the day, long-distance trade routes were a big ol’ deal, ‘specially back in the Chalcolithic period, or as the smart folks call it, the Copper Age. That was a long time ago, before all this fancy stuff we got now. They didn’t have the Sea of Thieves, but they sure had trade routes, stretchin’ from places like Southeast Asia, Western Asia, and all the way to the Mediterranean. They traded all sorts of things back then, just like we do now, except we got ships and cannons!
Now, don’t get too comfortable. Ya can’t just pick up goods and expect smooth sailin’. Them trade routes change each week, and ya gotta keep track of what’s goin’ on. One week, an outpost might need fruit, and the next week, they might be runnin’ low on cannonballs. So, ya gotta keep your ears open and your eyes sharp. If you don’t, you might end up wastin’ a trip.
And let me tell ya, it’s always best to plan ahead. If you’re just sailin’ around aimlessly, you ain’t gonna get nowhere. You gotta know your route and be ready for whatever comes your way. Sometimes, you’ll be in the middle of a trade and BAM! Some scallywags might come at ya, tryin’ to steal your haul. That’s why you gotta keep your ship ready. Trust me, it’s happened to me more times than I can count. But, if you’re smart and quick on the draw, you’ll be alright.
So, what’s the best advice I can give ya? Keep track of them trade routes. Look at the weekly updates from the Merchant Alliance. Know what’s in surplus and what’s sought after. Plan your trips, keep an eye on the map, and always be ready to defend your cargo. And remember, it ain’t just about the treasure, it’s about gettin’ the goods to the right places at the right time. That’s the secret to makin’ a good profit in the Sea of Thieves!
