Top Commodities to Skull and Bones Silver Focus On Early

In the beginning, you won’t have access to all the rare loot and high-value cargo like Uncut Gems or Vaal relics. But that doesn’t mean you’re out of options. There are still plenty of early-game commodities that can net a tidy profit. Here are a few favorites:

    Ivory: Not always easy to find, but if you loot it or obtain it via side contracts, hold on to it. Certain ports will pay a premium.

    Vanilla and Frankincense: These lightweight spices and resins are usually in demand and don’t take up much space.

    Fine Relics: If you find any during your exploration or treasure hunting, check the map for a region craving them. Prices can spike dramatically.

Avoid selling essentials like food, ammunition, and crafting resources. You’ll need these for survival and shipbuilding. Only sell these in emergencies—and even then, weigh the cost carefully.

How to Read the Trade Map Like a Pro

Your map is your best tool for making money. Once you’ve explored a region, hover over it and check the right side of the screen. You’ll see two categories:

    In Plentiful Supply – These goods are common in the area and sell for very little.

    Highest In Demand – These are rare in that region, meaning they’ll pay you top dollar.

Plan your trade routes accordingly. If a nearby port has a high demand for an item you’re carrying, it’s worth a detour. It’s also wise to jot down which ports consistently pay well for which goods—that knowledge becomes invaluable as Skull and bones items for sale cheap the world opens up.
