Added Game Data section with build cost, recipes, and trade info
A trade crate of specialized tools, shipwright gear, fine instruments, and hard-to-find parts.
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."

Every Trade Goods Merchant pays the base 200 Piastre rate for Specialized Tools. The Brethren of the Coast Buyer pays 250 Piastre, which is the intended premium sale path for this crate.

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.

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.
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.
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.
