22 Overview
33  
44 A trade crate of specialized tools, shipwright gear, fine instruments, and hard-to-find parts.

66 Specialized Tools is an Epic Trade Goods crate tagged for the Brethren of the Coast. It shares the top-tier 250 Piastre Buyer rate with Luxuries and is the reason most Brethren-bound cargo runs exist. The crate's scratched warning is the same as every trade crate: "Open it and you're out of the cut."

1818 Specialized Tools are a Blackbeard boarding-action crate. The drop chance is low relative to other crates, but the Piastre return at the Brethren Buyer justifies the extra effort.

2121 How to Cash Out
2222  
2323 The Brethren base is the preferred destination. Three crates of Specialized Tools sold at the Brethren Buyer return 750 Piastre in one docking, matching the Luxuries-to-Smugglers cash-out tier. Because the drop rate from Brigs and Frigates is comparatively low, these crates usually accumulate alongside other loot during naval combat rather than during dedicated farm runs.

2525 Stack Specialized Tools sales with Brethren-preferred Naval Supplies drop-offs. Both crates route to the same Buyer at the Brethren base, so a single docking clears both lines.

2929 Do not open the crate. The seal is what gives it trade value.During Brig and Frigate boarding actions, prioritize surviving the hold sweep over a clean weapon haul; Specialized Tools sit in the captain's quarters or stern-side lockers.For Brethren reputation, turn in Old Salt Insignia or Veteran Insignia at the Bounty Agent rather than Specialized Tools; the crate pays only Piastre.

3333 Each trade crate is tagged for one faction, and that faction's buyer pays more than a generic merchant. Specialized Tools sit at the top tier alongside Luxuries. The table below shows the premium buyer rate for each crate so you can plan which cargo to chase.

3636 The Brethren of the Coast Buyer stands at the Brethren Main Base next to the faction Provisioner and Bounty Agent, so a single dock can sell tools, restock, and turn in bounties. Specialized Tools also turn up when boarding ordinary merchant ships out on the water, not only Blackbeard warships, so keep an eye on captured holds during any naval fight.
