Wood Crate

The Wood Crate (also referred to as Crate of Wood) is a type of Resource Crate for Wooden Planks in Sea of Thieves. Resource Crates can be filled with various Resource Commodities and traded to Merchant Alliance Representatives on Outposts who offer Gold and Reputation for them. Resource Crate deliveries can also be Commissioned via Trade Good Commissions acquired while sailing around the seas. Commissioned Crates reward Crews with nearly double the regular filled Crate's value when delivered to the correct NPC in Time.

Mechanics
Every Wood Crate can carry up to 50 pieces of Wooden Plank Resource items. Wood Crates can be found on the Seas with a variable amount of Wooden Planks already in them.

Player Crews can occasionally find Trade Good Commission Quests from Tattered Parchments, Messages in a Bottle or Mysterious Journals that require the delivery of a filled Wood Crate to a specific Outpost Senior Trader by a specific date and time. With this Quest present, Players can pick up an empty Wood Crate from any Senior Trader.

Wood Crates can be used as portable Wooden Plank containers to have easier access to Planks at a strategic location.

Where to Find
Wood Crates can be found from the following sources:


 * Wood Crates (containing 50 Planks) can be bought from the Merchant Alliance for 3,500.
 * Picked up empty from a Merchant Alliance Representative on Outposts if the Crew has an active Crate of Wood Trade Good Commission.
 * Chance to find beached on the shorelines of Islands, excluding Outposts, Seaposts and Forts (with 0-50 Planks inside).
 * Chance to find inside sunken Shipwrecks on the seas (with 0-50 Planks inside).
 * Chance to find among Barrels of Plenty floating on the open seas (with 0-50 Planks inside).

Un-commissinoed
Wood Crates that are filled with 50 Wooden Planks can be sold to:
 * Merchant Alliance Senior Traders stationed at the docks of Outposts for Gold and Merchant Alliance Reputation and Emissary Value (if sailing as an Merchant Alliance Emissary)
 * The Servant of the Flame at The Reaper’s Hideout for Gold and Reaper's Bones Reputation and Emissary Value (if sailing as a Reaper's Bones Emissary)
