The Kingsmarch shipping mechanic in Path of Exile 3.25 involves sending resources to various ports to receive rewards. Many players have expressed frustration due to misunderstandings about how this system works. This guide aims to help you understand and optimize the shipping process to maximize your returns effectively.
The latest Path of Exile expansion, 3.25, introduced some exciting new shipping mechanics and rewards. One of the key features is the ability to earn significant value from shipping items through the new Kingsmarch region. Shipping in PoE 3.25 involves sending resources to various ports to get rewards. The mechanic is underpinned by a relationship system where building a strong connection with different nations yields better returns.
1. Relationship System
Shipping is based on a relationship system with different nations. The better your relationship with a nation, the better rewards you receive. Building relationships involves sending resources that nations request, which increases your favor with them and thus the rewards multipliers.
2. Favored Resources
Favored resources are specific items that nations request. Sending these items grants a multiplier on your rewards. Completing all favored resource requirements will update the list with higher multiplier amounts. Repeatedly sending shipments to the same port while fulfilling these requests increases your favor and total rewards. Early on, focus on completing favored resource requirements to build favor with a port. This is the primary way to increase your rewards.
Types of Resources
Each type of resource corresponds to different types of rewards:
Food: Provides currency.
Ores: Each ore type yields different rewards:
Crimson Iron: Armor
Orichalcum: Weapons
Petrified Amber: Jewelry
Bismoth: Gems, flasks, jewels, ward armor
Verisium: Scarabs, stacked decks, fossils, rogue markers, unique items, splinters
3. Shipment Values
Total shipment value is not a multiplier for rewards but a calculator for risk. Sending non-favored resources may be wasteful as they do not contribute to increasing your favor. Instead, focus on sending the exact amounts of favored resources to maximize your returns.
4. Dust
Dust acts as a rarity multiplier. Sending more dust increases the rarity of the items you receive, although with diminishing returns. While dust has a significant impact on the shipment value, the increase in rewards is not as dramatic. It’s best to find a balance to optimize your returns without overspending on dust.
5. Risk Percentage
Risk percentage is determined by the shipment value versus the level of your crew. Higher shipment values and lower crew levels increase the risk of unwanted outcomes.
Different ports offer varying rewards based on the type of ore shipped. Here’s a breakdown of the rewards you can expect from each port:

Runes and Tattoos
Kalguri Ports give Runes.
Karui Ports give Tattoos.
The quantity/type of runes/tattoos might scale with the total amount of goods sent, favored resources, or dust.
Here is the Basic Strategy for Maximizing Rewards:
Focus on Favored Resources: Only ship the resources requested by the nation to increase favor and maximize rewards.
Favor Specific Ports: Concentrate on 2-3 ports to raise favor quickly, rather than spreading resources thinly across all ports.
Convert Ores to Bars: Always convert ores to bars before shipping as bars give 5x the rewards.
Balance Dust Usage: Use dust to increase rarity but watch for diminishing returns.
Manage Risk: Ensure your crew levels are adequate to handle the shipment value to minimize unwanted outcomes.
Here’s a guide to help you maximize shipment value and make the most out of Kings March in Path of Exile 3.25. Follow these steps to enhance your gameplay experience.
1. Choose Your Ports Wisely - Close vs. Far Ports: Shipments to the closest port have yielded significant drops, such as an item level 86 Astral Plate worth around four divines. The variability in drops is high regardless of whether the port is close or far, so prioritize shipping to close ports to minimize risk.
2. Focus on Collecting Runes: The primary goal should be to collect as many runes as possible. While shipping to Calgarian ports may help acquire runes and Namaho ports may yield scarabs and other items, the results have not dramatically differed.
3. Use Resource Multipliers: When fulfilling shipment requests, add Dogic Dust as a multiplier. Though the dust itself holds no intrinsic value, it significantly enhances the shipment’s worth. Example: A shipment valued at 15,000 can be boosted by adding 200 dust. Then, add requested resources (like corn or bismuth bars) to reach a desired value, such as 50k or 100k.
4. Aim for Shipment Value Tiers: Aim for shipments around 50k to 100k. Higher value shipments (like 1 million) have not yielded significantly better returns.
5. Disenchant with Rag the Disenchanter: Items with tier one resistances tend to fetch higher values. For Example: Items with double tier one resistances can be worth up to 9,300. Items returned from shipments are often well-rolled, making them valuable for disenchanting if not needed.
6. Maximize Mining Profits: Once fully leveled, mining grants gold for each ore found in maps, aiding in leveling up.
7. Utilize the Rune Smithing Table: Unlock rune smithing table early and use it to enchant weapons cheaply. For Example, An extra spell damage enchant cost only six life runes.
8. Locate the Trigger Spell Craft: The trigger spell craft is now found in the Refinery, not as a veiled craft. Look for a glowing manhole cover on the ground to access the Refinery tunnels where the craft is located.
And now by following these tips you will efficiently get early 6-links and maximize your profits, specifically through shipping in Kingsmarch:
1. Progress Your Town: Ensure all quests are completed to unlock higher-tier workers and focus on Mining, especially for Crimson Iron. Equipment often comes from ores, while currency comes from farming. Smelting is essential for converting ores to bars, which are significantly more valuable. Regularly disenchant junk rares and extra shipment items to maximize resources.
2. Set Up Efficient Shipments: Focus on favored resources for each port. For example, if a port favors Petrified Amber, prioritize shipping Amber bars over ores since bars are worth significantly more (approximately five times) than ores. This strategic approach ensures you are always shipping the most valuable items.
3. Optimize Shipment Value: Identify ports offering high bonuses (20-100%) and aim for those with the highest percentages. For instance, a 90% bonus is excellent. Adding Theurgic Dust to your shipments can significantly boost their value. For example, adding 1,000 dust can greatly increase the shipment's worth, so balance the dust usage to avoid diminishing returns.
4. Execute Shipments: Aim to meet the exact requirements for the highest bonus. For example, if the port asks for 810 Petrified Amber bars, provide exactly that to maximize the bonus. Additionally, add a substantial but balanced amount of Theurgic Dust to maximize returns without excessive diminishing returns.
5. Handle Shipment Returns: The item level of returned goods scales with your character level, so ensure your character is around level 85 for high-level items. Disenchant items not useful for your build to reclaim resources, maintaining a consistent flow of valuable materials.
6. Repeat and Scale: Regularly send out high-value shipments to keep returns optimal. As your town and shipping capabilities increase, manage larger and more valuable shipments for better rewards. Consistent high-value shipments will ensure ongoing progress and improved returns.
By following this guide, you can efficiently max your rewards, currency, and more from the Kingsmarch Shipping in the Path of Exile 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur league!
