Trading

## Trading Across Islands

 Each biome has a selective list of resources that they produce. Players cannot naturally obtain resources that another biome produces, meaning players need to visit other biomes to trade. These resources can be exchanged at Harbors at NPCs called Merchants.

### Upselling to Merchants

Resources native to the biome the harbor is in will be naturally lower than foreign goods, meaning players can make a profit off of transferring these materials. For example, a player can buy a crate of Bread for just $3 in the Aeric Region (plains/forest biomes) and sell them in the Tuca Region (Jungle) for $4. This can make trading a very lucrative job for players. However, only crates can be sold to Merchants.

### Crates

Crates are bought from Merchants in their respective biomes in addition to being craftable in that region. You cannot craft crates with resources outside of its native region. It is highly recommended for players to produce their own crates for maximum profit, but they can still buy crates from Merchants and upsell them elsewhere. **You can find all crate recipes in the '/recipes' command.**

### Usage of Ships

Ships (such as the Sloop) are the primary way to travel to other islands and biomes. These ships also contain cargo holds (opened by crouching and right-clicking the ship), which allow for even more cargo to be moved at once. Armed ships can also be used for protecting cargo as players travel across the sea. In times of war, aggressive players can easily take out vulnerable ships.

## Crate Prices

Crate prices increase by a percentage the further away the crate is from its origin. Crates in its native region will sell for 75% of its base price. Regions bordering its region of origin will sell for 100%. The next region will sell for 125% more and so forth for the further you get away. With crate prices increasing by a percentage, it is highly recommended to sell crates of the highest value since they will increase the most.
