Harbor Contracts
Every week the merchant ship Tally Hold ties up at the Cargo Wharf on Bucket Quay with three cargo orders. The whole server fills them together, and the pay is split by how much each sailor delivered.
Get there with /warp contracts, or check the orders from anywhere with /contracts. The Cargo Master on the wharf explains it in person.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”- Find the manifest board on the wharf. Each of the three signs is one order.
- Right-click a sign to open its manifest: what it wants, who has delivered and how much, your share, the reward and the time left.
- Shift-right-click to deliver every matching item you are carrying, including items inside shulker boxes in your inventory.
- Watch the cargo pile up on the wharf pallets as the order fills.
When an order fills:
- Its money pool is split by share. Bring at least 2% of the order to earn a cut and a Tide Crate key.
- No single sailor can deliver more than half of an order. Anything over that is handed back.
- Every Charter gets a money bounty for 48 hours: Charter pay rises by 20%, or by 40% if all three orders fill in the same week.
- A fresh order goes up in that slot a day later, so the board keeps moving all week.
New orders post every Monday at midnight (Chicago time).
