Crate Basics: Setup & Profits

Crates = Trade goods from Market Commodity Stations (basket icon). Buy Commodity Certificates → Craft → Deliver for gold.

TypeRewardNotesMarket CommodityGold (distance-based)Check Shift+Click pricesConstructionReputationIgnore for gold

Key Factors (2026):

• Distance + Rarity = Higher payout (rare crates ~2x common).

• Market Saturation: Avoid oversupplied routes.

• Glint Cost: Reserve 1g+ (up from 50s due to tax hikes).​

Pro Tip: Store crates to dodge saturation; mule for 2x capacity.

Crate Mules: Scale to 3g/Hour

Daystrider Crate Mule (Herbalism Vendor, ~50s pre-tax):

• Carries 2 crates at full speed.

• Avoid Scams: Verify trainable icon—don't buy market flips >1g.

• Trade Play: Buy cheap in Aven’s End, resell in hubs (20s profit ea.).

Risks: PvP flagged—solo short routes (e.g., starter zones); guilds hire escorts (3-5s fee).

Zero-Risk: Commissions (1-2g/Hour)

Safest Gold: Stackable tasks (wolves/undead kills). Rewards Market (2026 Avg.):

Crafting Flips: High-Margin Plays

Experience Scrolls

Tailoring Shirts

Combine with crates for 4g/hour.

Processing & Smithing: Hidden Gems

• Armor Molds: Basalt (any wood)—buy cheap hemlock/oak, process → sell molds (10-20s margin).

• Rare Timber: Weapon demand keeps prices high.

2026 Tip: Watch Exchange listings—undercut early for volume.

Final Strategies

• Solo Starter: Short crates + commissions (1g/hour).

• Guild Scale: Protected caravans (5g+/hour).

• Watch Trends: Glint shortages spike scroll/cache prices.
