Just tested this in a bit more depth. It looks like there are diminshing returns on the amount of dust you add. 150 dust is where I'd probably draw the line as best value unless you're rolling in dust and even then its exponentially diminishing returns. For example 10 dust with any shipment appears to increase the value by 151% where as 300 dust only gets you a 238% value increase.
@don You wanna put 3-3.5k dust per shipment. Every item has a base value and dust is a diminishing multiplier that isn’t really worth it past 4k+ dust due to how hard and fast it diminishes. Bars > Crops > Ore It seems optimal to avoid sending raw ore, process it and send as bars. Filling up the bonuses triggers bonus loot on the shipment, but you don’t have to trigger the bonus all in one run (though it is optimal) Once you’re fully upgraded I’m pretty sure it’s optimal to full dump your excess into all available shipments rather than holding. Crops and Bars aren’t used for anything other than upgrading so there’s not much purpose in stockpiling them. Use the rare items from shipments to disenchant, but check the DE values and try to filter out low value DEs (there is a huge range)
One thing that i dont get is how the rewards are actually calculated. I was getting decent shipments in the campaign, and now im sending out 30k shipments and usually only get 1-2c per shipment. Doesnt seem worth the effort atm unless im missing something. I guess next step is to get max level shipping guys and try out a 100k shipment
just dropped a video talking about all the mechs: ua-cam.com/video/D0PHNYfn50Q/v-deo.html but to disenchant level up your town base (in the tavern) and it will unlock the ability to build the disenchanting station and start throwing items in there

That Thaumaturgic dust, sent with any shipment, will increase it's value (and risk... not sure how that modifies the rewards). The scaling has diminishing returns so it's not worth sending more than like. 15 dust with your shipment, unless you're swimming in it) The type of resource seem to affect the type of reward. I dunno if this is 100% correct, but Ores - runes (and if you want to utilize runesmith, disable your blacksmiths unless you're saving up for some building upgrades, otherwise most of your ores get converted to ingots) Ingots - rares items (and mostly linked, at that. Best shipment gave me five 4-links at once... ofc none of them fit into my archer build but whatever) Food - various currency orbs and occasionally a unique don't have other stuff to test with yet
when we have a raiding party outside can we fight them so we don't lose the half of our shipment or is that just us getting robbed. it sonds like we could fight hem but idk how
@@DonTheCrown Do you know if distance scales anything (Risk, reward) other than time? If it doesn't, then what is the purpose of further distanced ports?
Yeah they said in the league announcement video that it was a multiplier for goods, but drastically increased the chance of failure.
Welll... of course its going to increase risk change my shipement skyrocket form 10k to 120k
Glad to have you back don, hope you like the new league!
Did not have DonTheCrown back in Poe on my bingo card! I followed your Splitting Steel build long after you took your break love to have you back!
When do you get a second or third ship?
I upgraded the port multiple times. Upgrade-text stated "+1 ship" but I only have one
Lvl 6 upgrade
I just got it, I’m lvl 5 or 6
not sure if you get a 3rd yet but you get a 2nd fairly soon

Yeah I think you'll have a ton cause you're it's really easy
I already have 44k with a t6 town it's not in that short of supply
toss 100-200 on every shipment for sure
Great to see you playing a league again, Don :) I hope you love it. Keep up the great work. Video was helpful too

HEYYYY WELCOME BACK DONNNOO
Welcome back don!❤
And remember to always click your chests!
Wait .. what chests are you referring to?
Yeah, what chests?
@@af4043 it’s an old meme guys don’t worry lol there are no chests to click
Basicly i click every chest my eyes look at .. 😢 still no luck
Tbf normal chest been good with the gold drops

Ive got some ideas but need to get to testing, been focusing on leveling my base over everything else, today Ill do the shipping
Damn i already sent my ship out! Going to try this when it gets back
Melee goat is back. That means ggg did its job in the best way possible.
Glad to see you back
I mean is there anything better in life, than a ship from far far land brings you some DUST? I don't think so.
People in Dune be like:
WELCOME BACK!
Overall, is it better to do the mechanic through the acts, or wait til maps?
All the rewards need time. Definitely get started on it asap i.e. during the campaign.
anyone know how to decrease the chance of you map runner death chance? im at 60% on t1 :/
need better mappers, higher rank that is, also unlocking more portals means more mappers, more mappers = safer
It says enchanting dust. But we all know the cost so good because it's Walter whites blue meth.
yeah! I was thinking about this today xD We're Walter Wraeclast
When do you unlock the disenchanting? I'm still in acts
@@joeanon8568 keep leveling your town up and you unlock more areas to build stuff like you did mining
Great to see you back on POE
Oh wow, don is playing POE again. Melee buffs were enough to draw you in?
The melee goat is back in Wraeclast!!!
Nice video, now IF I can get into game to play......
‘Call in some friends to help’ you mine? How?
Waitttt yooooo ur back! 😊
Yup my best in this strat is 2 chaos . Cool one lets do it again
how to disenchant?
just dropped a video talking about all the mechs: ua-cam.com/video/D0PHNYfn50Q/v-deo.html but to disenchant level up your town base (in the tavern) and it will unlock the ability to build the disenchanting station and start throwing items in there
Anyone knows how to unlock Rog in the city of settlers?

Just sprinkle a little "magic dust" (meth) on the crops!
i did already over 200k value of the trade and there was only trash :( i dont know this shipment thing is not worth the time i guess
yeah it can be very hit or miss
The reward type depends on the good type you send. Food gives currency.
I dont know what He mean. Doesn't it matter what resources you use to send a ship?

don't have other stuff to test with yet
How do you disenchant
O on first upgrade you can disenchant only blue items) on second - rara
Use Rog when you got the place built up
I would love to see what they ship back to you
posted on my discord, was about a whole 2-3 chaos this time xD Ive gotten several of the runes though for the crafting
when we have a raiding party outside can we fight them so we don't lose the half of our shipment or is that just us getting robbed. it sonds like we could fight hem but idk how
@@ec1195 doubt it you'll need to invest in better units instead
Don… what did you get?!? Damn you left us hanging!
@@GoobskOts dunno yet it's out to sea atm
@@DonTheCrown Do you know if distance scales anything (Risk, reward) other than time? If it doesn't, then what is the purpose of further distanced ports?
You back to PoE? Cool!
thanks Charles
100% i will buyalot of stash tabs . That will be alot useful omg
To stock my items
OMG You back!! Aaaaa!!
It was mentioned in the Q&A…. That its a multiplier.
Video without result :(
it was about 2-3 Chaos return this time around, generally you need to risk even more and upgrade your dock to get the big trips + loot
Poe, no interest anymore
Of course there isn't interest... This isn't a banking league.
