2024 info - possibly out of date now - Shipping 3.25 - 17M Boats - Path Of Exile - Settlers

#pathofexile #poe #kalguur

2025 update: Not sure this still holds in 3.26; testing will take a LONG TIME.

Older info follows

This took the playerbase a LONG time to crack. But, we've done it. Not just me - this is mostly the work of other people in PoorFishWife's discord, who asked me to make their results public.

50 million 'penta-crop' shipments (i.e. an unplanned mix of wheat, corn, pumpkin, orgourd and blue zanthimum with dust to reach 50m) have been the standard for a while, based on early league research. They work - but we can do SLIGHTLY better. Dual-crop 17.1 million wheat/corn boats are just slightly better.

315k wheat, 315k corn, 8505k dust. That's the new baseline.
