Cargo

A pirate's ship vessel can hold various plunder taken from the ships they sink. The cargo varies widely, but the larger and more dangerous the vessel - usually the more valuable the cargo found.

Boarding flagships can result in more and better plunder. Also, captains having the Treasure Sense ability of the Sailing skill can locate the best booty to take.

These are standard shipping boxes containing basics and essentials, but may sometimes contain pleasant surprises.

onus from sailing items.

Loot[]

Often a Loot Pouch, Loot Chest or Loot Skull Chest may be found. It will take up a cargo slot as well, but usually the value is higher.

Ship Materials[]

You can only obtain Ship Materials by sinking enemy ships, particularly Warships and Bounty Hunters. Any found materials are stored in your Materials Pouch.

The various materials include:

Material
Wood		Metal		Cloth		Grog
Common wood	Heavy wood, known for resilience	Common heavy metal	Rare iron alloy, lighter weight but stronger	Common heavy fabric for sailmaking	Fine rare, lighter material for making sails	Watered down rum. Can be traded with merchants in exchange for goods and services.
Pine	Oak	Iron	Steel	Canvas	Silk	Grog

Common goods will be found in Materials Chests, but Rare Goods can only be found in Rare Materials Chests (Similar to Loot Skull Chests).
Since grog is now a material the grog that used to be found in crates is now named medicine.

Cargo Capacity[]

The maximum amount of plunder you can carry will depend upon the type and size of your vessel. Each type of cargo takes up one slot in your hold.

Name	Capactity
Light Sloop	6 Slots
Light Galleon	10 Slots
Light Frigate	8 Slots
Light Brig	8 Slots
Sloop	9 Slots
Galleon	14 Slots
Frigate	12 Slots
Brig	12 Slots
War Sloop	14 Slots
War Galleon	18 Slots
War Frigate	16 Slots
War Brig	16 Slots

Note: The amount of Cargo may vary with upgrades.

Once a ship's hold is full, any NEW plunder will replace the old IF the new items found are more valuable. So, a dedicated pirate could eventually fill their ship with a lot of valuable cargo. But, remember - if you're sunk, it's all lost. Loot Chests, Loot Skull Chests, Ship Materials, and Rare Ship Materials will NOT be replaced.

Cargo Hold[]

During a prolonged voyage, a pirate may not remember all they have plundered. At any time, even when not aboard your own ship - you can check the manifest. Simply click on the Cargo Crate icon in the upper-left and a list of total number of Crates, Chests, and Materials and Loot items will appear by type.

This manifest will NOT total the actual contents or their worth in gold, but it is helpful in telling a pirate what kind of plunder they're pulling in.

Note: You will not get any of your plundered loot containers if you teleport to someone or someplace before you have ported. When you see the list of booty after porting, click 'Take it all!', or click what you want, or you won't get any of it.
