Cargo types include cloth (damaged by water), plants (need watering), and rum bottles (break if you fall or take damage). Successful delivery within the time limit yields bonus rewards.

Strengths

  • +Simple, low-combat activity good for relaxed sessions.
  • +Teaches new players about navigation and ship handling.
  • +Delivers guaranteed gold with no RNG involved.
  • +Can be combined with other voyages along the route.

Weaknesses

  • -Time limit adds unnecessary pressure.
  • -Cargo is extremely fragile and easily damaged.
  • -Low gold payout compared to other voyage types.
  • -Repetitive and tedious after a few completions.

Tips & Strategy

  • 1Keep cloth cargo below deck and away from any water leaks.
  • 2Water plants with a bucket periodically or they wilt and lose value.
  • 3Walk carefully with rum bottles -- jumping or falling damages them.
  • 4Plan the shortest route between pickup and delivery outposts.
  • 5Avoid storms at all costs -- they damage cloth and can flood your ship.
