-A crate of beer (2 different barrels) is worth 1000 drachma. Only “Very Potent” beer may be shipped, so it may survive the trip. For the purpose of this test, a beer's 'uniqueness' is determined by the color and flavor combination. So, a Brown Nutmeg Cinnamon beer is different from a Brown Nutmeg Clove beer. But, a Spicy Cinnamon beer and a Sweet Cinnamon beer would be considered the 'same' for the purposes of the trade route. Only the color and flavors count - therefore potency, sweetness, and 'special properties' do not count. Beer cannot be spoiled if you are to load it into a crate.

So, a Brown Nutmeg Cinnamon beer is considered unique from a Brown Nutmeg Clove beer, because the exact combination of colors and flavors is different. But, a Spicy Cinnamon beer and a Sweet Cinnamon beer would be considered the 'same' for the purposes of the trade route, since the color and flavor combination is the same (in this case, colorless and cinnamon).

 Each increase in rank doubles the number of crates you are allowed ship per voyage.
-The Volunteer can ship 1 crate, and the Captain may ship up to 32 crates. To advance your rank, visit a University of Harmony. The 1st advancement costs 625 drachma and doubles each time, costing 10000 drachma to move from Lieutenant to Captain. If you can ship more than 1 crate, you can either ship various crates of different types or multiple crates of one type of good (or any combination). For example, a Midshipman could ship 2 crates of perfume, 1 crate of wine, and another crate of cut gem.

 ==What goes in a crate?==

 Player 'Bob' is a midshipman. He decides to ship 2 crates of perfume and a crate of wine this month. He goes over to the harbor while the trading ship is in port and selects 'Load a crate onto the ship'. He then selects 'Crate of perfume' and picks 2 different perfumes (Long Lime, Sweet Corian) from his inventory. He gets a message that he successfully loaded a crate onto the ship. He repeats this, loading another crate of perfume and picks 2 different perfumes (Long Lime, Sweet Lemon) from his inventory. Then, he repeats this but loads a crate of wine (Nutmeg and Dust). He can load up to 4 crates this month because he is a midshipman, however he has decided to only ship 3.
 He waits until the 1st of the next month, and then receives his drachma. Since his 2 wine flavors (Nutmeg and Dust) was not sent by anyone else, and was not sent by anyone in the previous 4 shipments, he gets 800 drachma from that crate (the maximum value). However, his perfume crates (Long Lime/Sweet Corian and Long Lime/Sweet Lemon) were not totally unique. 5 crates shipped on the boat contained a Long Lime, and in the previous 3 months Long Lime and Sweet Corian were both shipped once each time. This means he gets 4 'major' penalties and 6 'minor' penalties for the Long Lime/Sweet Corain crate and 4 'major' penalties and 3 'minor penalties for the Long Lime/Sweet Lemon. The base value of his perfume crates were 1000 drachma. They would be modified as follows: ((1000*0.7^4)*0.9^6) and ((1000*0.7^4)*0.9^3) which would yield 127 drachma and 175 drachma respectively. His total for the month would be 1102 drachma (his perfume and wine crate totals added together). The math is a little complex, but really, you only need to worry about trying to ship interesting things each time and the drachma will flow in. Note that Bob made a bit of a mistake by using Long Lime in 2 different crates - he would have earned more drachma if both of his perfume crates were totally unique.
-One requirement of passing the test is possessing at least 40000 drachma – this basically makes you ''eligible'' to pass during weekly passes, but you'll need to do a bit more to actually pass.

 ==Top Traders==
-	To be recognized as a master of trade is part of this test; you must show you know the trading business inside out! If you earn more drachma than anyone else in one of the 8 trading categories during a single shipment, you are recognized as the top trader for that good for that month. You can select the Harbor to view a list of the previous month's top traders for each category: it lists the top trader and the runner-up for each category. Additionally, you may visit an Essence of Harmony and submit a prediction on who you think will be the top trader in a certain category for that month: you may designate one player for each of the 8 trades.

For example, a player would had 52000 drachma, was the top trader in cut gems, dried herbs, beer, and wine, and predicted the top trader in paint, wine, beer, and powdered dye would pass the test.
