Highest selling item in the game?

  • My wife and I were sailing with some friends tonight, and she loves to fish. Well, today she finally pulled in a trophy shadow stormfish.......I've been playing since day 1 and it's the first shadow stormfish I've ever seen.

    We cook it up and beeline it to Stephen's Spoils, and it sells for a whopping 25,313! Has anyone encountered anything in the game that sells for a comparable base value? I believe it's the highest we've ever seen.

  • had to have been gold rush time

    it's usually around 16k maybe

    box of wondrous secrets is 25k I've sold 4 of those

    base pay without bonuses that's the most

  • @habiki gold reaper chest and that fake secrets thing goes for 25k as well

  • The most expensive thing is the box of wondrous secrets. It is 25k base price and although I've never found one, I suspect the reapers will pay more for it to their emissaries. Grade 5 getting 62,500 gold for it.

    A cooked trophy shadow stormfish will sell for 16,875 gold.

    A cooked trophy sand battlegill or snow wrecker will sell for 14,065 gold.

    An UNcooked trophy shadow stormfish will sell for 11,250 gold.

    11,250 is around what you will get for an ashen athena chest. I believe I've seen them as high as 12k and some change.

    Then you get to the 10k items like ashen winds skulls, reaper's bounties, and the goldhoarder's skull.

    Anything that gives gold can be multiplied by 1.5 during the gold rush hour, but fish unfortunately can never benefit from an emissary bonus.

    Correct me if I'm forgetting something.

  • @testakleze

    The trophy shadow stormfish we sold last night gave 25,313, way more than 16k. And I knew the gold reaper chest gave 25k, but you need grade 5 to get that.......it's base value is 10k, right?

    Box of wondrous secrets is a good catch. I've never found one so I'm not sure what it sells for. I could see that having a higher basr value with no multiplier.

    Edit: I see folks mentioning it may have been gold rush, since it should normally sell for ~16k. It's quite possible that's when we sold. Thanks!

  • @drizkillz Reaper’s Bounty chest only sells for 10k now. Got nerfed sometime last year.

  • @ninja-naranja I must have been at grade 5 then. I've been so focused on achievements and knocking out things for so long I stopped paying attention to prices.

  • Chest of Eternal Sorrows, GH skull and various cursed chests have been consistent 10k approximates for me.

  • Imagine:

    Reaper Bounty
    Grade V Reaper
    Double Gold and Rep
    Gold Rush

    Imagine:

    Reaper Bounty
    Grade V Reaper
    Double Gold and Rep
    Gold Rush

    Imagine the box of wonderous secrets in that scenario: 187,500 gold if my math is right.

    Reaper's Bounty sells for 10k, therefore it gives you 75k gold with the mentioned bonuses

  • @thekratex7201 Ah, the more you know.

    So BoWS is the thing then.

    What about Grade V flags or Ashen Legendary Chests?

    The base price for those are:
    8k - 10k (ACOL)
    9.5k - 10.5k (flag)
    So the best is still the BOWS

  • Imagine 187k for BoWS turn in with that perfect storm.

  • The skull of siren song will sell for 50k

  • Ahoy maties!
