It looks like you'll get roughly 350 gold for each item successfully delivered in perfect condition (so around 2,500 gold per quest) and there are tougher, but more rewarding, variants to be found over in the volcano-strewn Devil's Roar biome.Įlsewhere, today's update brings a host of bug fixes and quality of life improvements to Sea of Thieves - including considerably better rewards for defeating PvE skeleton ships and adjustments to the Kraken lantern so that it no longer shines brighter than the centre of the sun - as exhaustively outlined in the latest patch notes. Cloth, for instance, must be kept dry, plants must be kept wet, and rum must be carried with upmost care to avoid breakages. Once gathered, the quest is removed from your list but remains active, meaning that you can stack up multiple Cargo Runs, or do them in tandem with other quests - something that players have long hoped would be implemented for the original Merchant Alliance animal runs.Īt present, there are three possible Cargo Run items - a Crate of Luxurious Cloth, a Crate of Plants, and a Crate of Rum Bottles - and each has certain requirements to follow in order to get the maximum reward when delivered to NPCs now scattered across islands (which, pleasing, also add a bit more life to the world). Rare's piratical multiplayer sandbox game Sea of Thieves has now reached the midpoint of its current Forsaken Shores campaign, signalling the arrival of a new addition to the game's divisive Merchant Alliance faction: Cargo Runs.Ĭargo Runs are designed to introduce a bit more variety to the Merchant Alliance, expanding on the faction's existing animal transportation missions (which I've personally always liked, given that they're both relaxing in their subdued rhythms and lucrative as hell) with a selection of delivery quests themed around some particularly finicky items.Īccept a Cargo Run via an outpost's Merchant Alliance representative and you'll be asked to collect a number of crates from another NPC on the island.
