33 The Brethren of the Coast Trade Goods Merchant is the Brethren of the Coast faction's source for the eight standard cargo categories: Contraband, Luxuries, Medicine, Munitions, Naval Supplies, Provisions, Specialized Tools, and Spirits. Stock is identical to the Trade Goods Merchants of the other three factions, and prices are flat per unit regardless of player level. This vendor is the supply side of the Merchant Contracts loop: buy goods here, run them across the map, and sell to a contract holder for profit and reputation.

77 The Brethren of the Coast Trade Goods Merchant is stationed at the Brethren of the Coast Main Base. The vendor stands close to the faction's Provisioner and Bounty Agents at the same camp, so a single visit can cover all three NPCs. Travel to the main base requires sailing access and, in most cases, a faction quest first contact: see Brethren of the Coast for the route in.

2020 Trade Goods Merchant stock itself is not reputation-gated, so you can buy cargo here from the first visit. Reputation matters because the cargo you run on contracts raises your standing with the holding faction, and that standing unlocks the cosmetic and gear stock at the Provisioner beside this vendor. Faction Reputation in Windrose opens in four ranks at the following thresholds:

2727 Cargo prices at every faction Trade Goods Merchant are identical, so distance to the destination contract dictates which Trade Goods Merchant you start at, not the price tag.Mix cargoes by route. A long sail tends to want denser high-Piastre cargo (Luxuries at 200, Munitions at 200, Specialized Tools at 200), while a short milk run can absorb a load of Provisions or Medicine at 50 each.Reputation gating only applies to the Provisioner stock, not to Trade Goods Merchants. Even at Neutral standing you can buy from the Brethren Trade Goods Merchant on day one.
