Avast, ye landlubbers and sea dogs! Listen close, for I'll tell ye of a day when fortune herself sails into port. They call it Franban—a name forged by scallywags like us, for a day of plunder so fine it'd make a king's treasurer weep.
The Bounty of Franban
Once a month, the market keeper in San Francisco lays out EA goods for the taking—no tedious haggling with foreign merchants! 'Tis a merchant's dream and a pirate's opportunity, for where great wealth flows, greater battles follow. Mark this well: the seas near Boston will run red on Franban's eve.
What Ye Need to Claim Yer Share
- A Port Permit for San Francisco. Ye can't claim a bounty if ye can't dock!
- A stout ship with cargo space for hauling treasure.
- Your wits about ye. The railway to Boston is yer lifeline, but the seas beyond are lawless.
Why It's Worth the Risk
Gold, plain and simple! Buy low in San Francisco, sail or train yer loot to where it fetches the highest price, and sell high. A savvy captain with the right skills can fill his hold to bursting and his coffers to overflowing. But remember, the best sellin' port changes with the wind—ye must be clever.
Prepare Yer Vessel
Don't be a fool and sail in naked. Before the day arrives, see to yer preparations:
- Secure Purchase Orders (POs) to buy more of the precious goods.
- Don an Alchemist Robe EX to strengthen yer tradin' hand.
- Sharpen yer Trading Skills—Food, Medicine, Luxuries, Craft—to master the specific goods on offer.
- Fly Blue Flags or make allies with Bounty Hunters if ye wish to sail in peace.
This be but the broadside view of the operation. The true art of evasion, the finest points of haggling, and the deepest secrets of the market are charts for another day.
If yer blood is stirred and yer mind set on this treasure run, then ye'll be needin' the full map. Read the complete guide here, and I'll show ye how to seize fortune proper, without endin' in Davy Jones' locker.
