33 The People of Tortuga Buyer is the buyer-side merchant for the civilian faction. Stock is intentionally narrow: this NPC only pays for Medicine and Provisions, the two cargo categories the Tortuga civilians actually need to keep their camp alive. The Tortuga Buyer in town is reputation-neutral and sells nothing for purchase, so faction-paid medical and food deliveries route through this main-base Buyer instead.

55 Location

77 The People of Tortuga Buyer is stationed at the People of Tortuga Main Base. The vendor stands close to the faction's Provisioner and Bounty Agent 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 People of Tortuga for the route in.

1818 Buyer Versus Provisioner
1919  
2020 This is a buy-only stall: it pays you for goods but stocks nothing for purchase. Cosmetics, building plans, armor, and ship parts come from the faction Provisioner instead, which is a separate NPC at the same camp. The Bounty Agents hands out kill contracts there as well, so one stop at the People of Tortuga Main Base covers selling, shopping, and bounties in a single visit.

2222 Compared to a generic Trade Goods reseller, the faction Buyer pays a premium for the two categories its civilians need. That premium is the whole reason to sail medical and food cargo here rather than dumping it at a town vendor.

2525  
2626 Medicine sells for 100 Piastres each here, double what the same crate fetches at a Trade Goods Merchant resale rate, so this is the highest-paying drop point for medical cargo in the game.
2727  
2828 Provisions at 50 Piastres each is competitive with the other faction Buyers; the trip is worth taking when you are already running Brethren or Smuggler routes through Tortuga waters.

3030 Selling here builds People of Tortuga reputation, which is what unlocks the better tiers of the Tortuga Provisioner stock.

3232 Reputation Effect
3333  
3434 Every transaction at the People of Tortuga Buyer grants People of Tortuga reputation, on top of the Piastre payout. Selling here is one of the steady, low-friction ways to climb reputation tiers without committing to a faction quest chain. See Faction Reputation for how reputation gates higher Provisioner stock.
3535  
3636 Reputation earned here flows into the shared People of Tortuga standing, which gates the higher tiers of the Provisioner stock and counts toward the same ranks tracked across all four factions. Hauling Medicine in bulk is the fastest civilian-reputation route because of the high per-unit payout.
