How Do I Get A Contract To Sell Tar?

[Sir Richard Bolitho]

Wanting to get my crafting XP up so I have crafted some tar. Do I have to randomly visit every port in the hope of finding someone to get a contract for selling my tar.

You make contracts to buy, not to sell. You can only fulfill someone else's contract in a port by selling to the AI. You will get a higher price, they will get the tar. And you'll never know his name.

 

As a word of advice, crafting tar is a terrible way to get XP. Only shipbuilding gives decent XP.

 

If you do want to craft and sell, however, I recommend making gun carriages. People hate those labor-intensives pieces of crap, and will probably buy them off you at a premium. Just advertise in a capital city.
