44 Trade cargo of strong drink. Worth coin, and worth a fight.

66 Spirits is a trade good, not a creature: a sealed crate of alcohol carried as cargo. The name refers to distilled drink, so do not expect a ghost or any combat encounter on this page.

88 Spirits is an Uncommon Trade Goods crate tagged for the Rogue Buccaneers. The crate ships strong drink (Whiskey, rum, brandy, and madeira) sealed for resale rather than personal consumption; opening it forfeits the 100 Piastre base sale value. Like Munitions, Spirits pair with Rogue Buccaneers but actually pay more at generic Trade Goods Merchants than at the Buccaneer Buyer.

1515 Like every crate in the Trade Goods family, Spirits exist to be carried and sold rather than used. Each crate is tagged in its tooltip with a preferred buyer faction; here that tag points at the Rogue Buccaneers. A crate's faction Trade Goods Merchant on Tortuga pays the headline price, while selling to the wrong buyer either pays less or is refused outright. Spirits are unusual: the flat merchant price of one hundred Piastre beats what the dedicated Buccaneer Buyer pays, so the tag is a buy-low signal rather than a premium sell route.

1919 Spirits sell for 100 Piastre at every Trade Goods Merchant. The Rogue Buccaneers Buyer offers the crate at 50 Piastre, making Buccaneer-base Spirits a buy-low arbitrage opportunity rather than a premium sale route.

2727 How to Cash Out
2828  
2929 The clean path for Spirits is to sell at any Trade Goods Merchant for the flat 100 Piastre. For the Spirits-specific arbitrage, buy cheap 50 Piastre Spirits from the Rogue Buccaneers Buyer and resell at the nearest Tortuga merchant for 100 Piastre: a reliable 50 Piastre per crate margin that scales with a larger cargo hold.

3131 The arbitrage only pays while a Buccaneer Buyer is offering Spirits at fifty Piastre; stock rotates, so it is opportunistic income rather than a guaranteed loop. For Rogue Buccaneers reputation, hand insignias to the Bounty Agent instead, since trade-good sales do not move the faction bar.

3333 Tips
3434  
3535 Do not confuse crated Spirits with the consumable Whiskey purchased at Provisioners. Spirits are a sealed cargo crate; Whiskey is a single-serving drink.The 50-Piastre buy price at the Buccaneers Buyer is the only reason to visit that vendor for Spirits at all. Selling to them is a net loss compared to any other Trade Goods Merchant.Reputation grinds with the Rogue Buccaneers should route through the Bounty Agent with insignias, not through Spirits sales.
