Arr, so ye wish to master the Dye trade, do ye? A fine ambition for any captain lookin' to line his pockets with gold and paint the ports of the world with his colors. Mark this well: in these waters, yer skill grows not from sellin', but from buyin' the goods. A curious thing, but a profitable one.
What Be Dye Trading?
'Tis a merchant's art, me heartie. The more dyes ye purchase in port, the higher yer proficiency climbs. A simple path, but one that demands either a stout ship for sailin' or a deep purse for... other methods.
Prime Ports for Plunder
Ye'll find the richest pickings in these harbors. I list the port and the bounty of different dyes ye can find there.
- Pattani (2 types)
- Pondicherry (2 types)
- Candia (1 type, with more to be had for the right price)
The Two Paths to Glory
Ye have a choice, captain. Will ye be a Port Hopper, sailin' out and back on long voyages to reset the market? Or will ye use yer Purchase Orders like a proper trade baron, buyin' in bulk from the comfort of the docks? The latter be a Category 2 trade, fit for a gentleman of fortune.
Tools for the Task
To buy more and skill faster, a clever captain seeks an edge. Fetch yerself the right gear or seek out the +2 Dye tradin' accessory from Muscat. Every little bit helps ye leave the common merchants in yer wake.
So, do ye have the stomach for commerce and the wit to corner the market on color? The path to mastery is clear, but the secrets of true power—how to buy mountains of dye and max yer skill with cunning, not just coin—are a treasure map unto themselves.
If the scent of profit is in the air and ye wish to know every trick to dye the seas with yer wealth, set yer course for the full log. Read the complete guide here, and I'll show ye how to become the dye lord of the seven seas.
