44 Refined goods sealed for shipment: fragile, expensive, and always in demand.

66 Luxuries is an Epic Trade Goods crate in Windrose, the highest-value crate the Smugglers of Port Royal will buy. The scratched-in warning reads "Open it and you're out of the cut," and like every trade crate the seal must remain intact to preserve sale value. Luxuries pay 250 Piastre apiece at the Smugglers Buyer, the same top-tier rate that Specialized Tools fetch from the Brethren of the Coast Buyer.

1616 Loot Sources
1717  
1818 Luxuries drop from high-tier instanced loot rather than from common boarding actions. The crate is tagged with a Coastal Jungle boss-arena entry in the item database, which suggests scripted loot behind a named encounter rather than random ship scatter.

2020 Coastal Jungle boss-arena loot pools (tagged Cj Boss Arena 01 in the item database).Occasionally rolls from rare chest drops in upper-tier Smuggler caches and Buried Treasure points.

2222 How to Cash Out
2323  
2424 Because Luxuries sit at the Epic tier of the crate ladder, a small hold of three crates returns 750 Piastre at the Smugglers Buyer in one docking. That is the single highest Piastre-per-slot return from any non-trophy loot in the current build and justifies the extra sailing time to Port Royal even if a closer Trade Goods Merchant would take the crate at 200.

2626 Stack Luxuries runs with Contraband trips: both crates route to the same Smugglers Buyer, so one docking clears both lines.

2828 Crate Ladder Context
2929  
3030 Luxuries occupy the Epic rung of the trade-crate ladder, the top sale tier the Smugglers of Port Royal Buyer pays out for. The table below frames where the crate sits against the other crates a smuggler run might carry. Confirm current per-crate values in your build, since patches adjust economy numbers.

3333 Because the seal must stay intact, a hold of three Luxuries crates carries cleanly to Tortuga or Port Royal without spoilage; only opening the crate destroys the value.

3535 Tips
3636  
3737 Do not open the crate. Opening forfeits the entire trade value.Luxuries are worth carrying in the ship hold during Coastal Jungle boss fights; the crate occupies only one of three stack slots and pays 200+ Piastre even at the wrong buyer.On active Smuggler reputation grinds, combine a Luxuries drop-off with Bounty Agent insignia hand-ins. The two systems share a faction camp but pay in different tracks.
