Revision 5

The Rogue Buccaneers Trade Goods Merchant sells the eight standard cargo categories used in faction Merchant Contracts. Prices and stock match the Trade Goods Merchants of the other three factions exactly, so the Rogue Buccaneers spawn point is most useful when their main base is the closest cargo source for the route you are running.

Location

The Rogue Buccaneers Trade Goods Merchant is stationed at the Rogue Buccaneers Main Base. The vendor stands close to the faction's Rogue Buccaneers 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 Rogue Buccaneers for the route in.

Currency

This NPC settles transactions in Piastres. See Trading and Merchants for how the game's currencies interact.

Buy Stock

Items the Rogue Buccaneers Trade Goods Merchant sells to you. Prices are flat and not gated by player level or reputation.

Tips

Trade Goods Merchant stock is identical across factions. The reason to choose this NPC is shorter sailing time to your contract destination.

Cargo bought here can be sold to any contract holder who lists the matching category, so you are not locked to the Rogue Buccaneers' contract chain. A category bought cheap here can be turned in for profit at whichever faction is paying the most for it on a current Merchant Contracts board.

Cargo categories sit in the player inventory as a single stackable item per category, so you can fill a hold with mixed cargo and pick the highest-paying contract on arrival.

Sibling Trade Goods Merchants

Each of the four factions runs an identical Trade Goods Merchant at its own main base. The stock and buy prices are the same at all four; only the location differs, so use whichever sits closest to your route.

Reputation Effect

Buying cargo at the Rogue Buccaneers Trade Goods Merchant is reputation-neutral by itself; the reputation comes from delivering that cargo on a contract held by the Rogue Buccaneers or another faction. Reputation rank, not this merchant, gates the higher-tier goods sold at the Rogue Buccaneers Provisioner. Faction standing climbs through the reputation tiers at 0, 100, 300, and 600 points; see Faction Reputation for how each tier unlocks Provisioner stock.
