Sailing Era Guide: Ports, Locations, and Goods

Ports are listed alphabetically within their regions to make searching easier.

A note on trade goods: every port has at least two trade goods that are available by default. Each port also has one restricted trade good that can be accessed by reaching 100 contribution within that port and obtaining the appropriate permit.

Ports with a Post (for exploration) also have one ‘hidden’ trade good that can only be unlocked by finding it within the Post’s map. The locations of these spots in the Post are not marked, and are considered ‘additional objectives’ for each Post. For example, unlocking Lead in Naha is only possible by finding the corresponding Lead Mine at the post and passing the required skill check. After doing so, the trade good will permanently be available at that port. Although these resources are not marked by icon on the map, they are usually visible in the terrain – a Ruby mine may show up in a mountain square, or a Natural Silk resource may be visible as a mulberry forest.

In the tables below, trade goods that require a permit are marked with *, and trade goods that require exploration in a Post are marked with **.

I have yet to find the Post goods in Gia Dinh or Mérida, but I will update once I have.

Ports marked “supply only” have no features other than a Pier, and exist only for resupply as you travel. However, I have still listed them for purposes of locating all ports and completing the Chronicle.

In addition to the port listings here, I’ve included at the bottom a list of goods and the ports where you can find each. Some goods cannot be bought in ports and can only be found randomly during exploration or by salvaging by fishing, exploring, or salvaging wrecks.

If you notice any mistakes or typos please let me know and I will fix them to the best of my ability.

Happy trading!
