Summary

Fort Verner is a spawn island and the home of the Hallengard faction. As a result, it has all of the main vendors available on the island. It is considered a hostile location for many traders due to Hallengard being hostile to all other factions in the game.

The dock at Verner is considered one of the best in the game, despite the placement inside a ring of rocks. As a result, it is an ideal stopping location for traders, although be careful of the two mortars facing the dock itself.

Summary

Cannoneer’s Key is an outer ring island in the southwest of the Grand Isles. It is a popular location for miners due to the four Onyx Rocks on the southern side of the Key, as well as a good spot for timberfelling. It has a Warehouse and a crafting table making it an ideal spot for material grinding. It also has a Fish Trader.

This is considered to be the worst dock in Tradelands due to the west facing cove that ships must enter in order to trade here. The rocks, docks, and other obstacles have a tendency to trap ships. You can only enter this dock with a ship that has a high bowsprit

Summary

Nassau is the spawn island for the Nassau faction. As a result, it has all of the main vendors available on the island. While not hostile to traders, it is not considered a safe port due to low population. It is remote enough that pirates do not usually raid here.

The dock is one of the better ones as it can be approached from the downwind position. However, it requires a course correction for most routes due to its remote location. The lighthouse makes it viewable at a distance at night.

Summary

Nova Balreska is the spawn island for the Nova Balreska faction, and the former Verdantine faction. As a result, it has all of the main vendors available on the island. It is generally considered a safe port but isn’t the most populated since most of its citizens are on the seas.

The dock is one of the better ones as it can be approached from the downwind position. It is an ideal stopping point for traders who are trading on the inner and mid-tier trade routes.

Summary

Perth is one of the inner islands and is made up of two islands separated by a sound. The northern island includes a Trader and a Dockmaster. The southern island is used for mining. The island is a part of the Rookie Run but is otherwise not visited very often.

The dock is positioned into the crosswind and is placed in almost exactly 90 degree angles making it good for cross wind sailing. The southern island makes any downwind operation difficult, thus making Perth almost exclusive to crosswind ships only.

Summary

Blackwind Cove is a mid-tier island and the spawn for the Blackwind Pirates faction. As a result, it has all of the main vendors available on the island. It is considered hostile to all traders due to the Blackwind Pirates being hostile to all other factions. Still, it is one of the most profitable trade routes for those who know how to limit dock time here.

The dock is positioned in the downwind position but requires some practice to dock without performing course corrections inside the cove (where traders become vulnerable).

Summary

Whitecrest is the spawn island for the Kingdom of Whitecrest faction. As a result, it has all of the main vendors available on the island. This is the safest port in the Grand Isles for traders as it is almost always populated with defenders.

The dock is positioned on the northern side of the cove and as such is difficult to approach from some angles. It’s awkward position may require you to go against the wind to exit and as a result. It is a challenging port to navigate, and cannot be done without course corrections.
