Kalguur's shipping system became one of the most rewarding and beloved League-specific mechanics in the current update. It’s an excellent AFK reward system that highly depends on how well you manage your resources. Players can send resources to various ports and get goods in exchange, depending on the type and amount of shipped materials. With the recent mid-patch changes, the shipping mechanic saw a significant change in maximizing your rewards per shipment. This guide will tell you how to get the most out of shipping.

Settlers of Kalguur Shipping Overview
The Settlers of Kalguur gave us a mechanic, a city-builder simulator, wherein we develop and manage our town, Kingsmarch. There are many services within the settlement, but we spend most of our time in the shipping port. Most of the things we do within and for the town are directly related to our exchange of goods with other ports.
We can get various stuff from shipping, depending on what type of material is being asked and how many you send. You can send goods to five different ports, which you can access by leveling and upgrading your own. Here are all the places you can send your ships to:
- Riben Fel
- Ngakanu
- Te Onui
- Kalguur
- Pondium
At certain times, each port will ask you to send specific resources in certain amounts. Once you reach each quota, they’ll refresh and you’ll be given a new set of preferred supplies. The type of rewards you get will depend on the resource being asked, and how many drops you get will depend on the shipment value. The value relies on how much materials you ship to the ports.
All Kalguur Shipping Rewards
As mentioned, your rewards will depend on the type of materials you are shipping and how much you’ll send. While you’re guaranteed to get various types and numbers of currencies when your ships return to port, you also get exclusive rewards due to the resource type. Here is a quick summary of what things you’ll get depending on the material:

Occasionally, ports will ask for crops grown from your town. While they have no exclusive item attached to them, they do increase the quality and quantity of your loot. Currency is a form of loot that can be rewarded during shipments, yet there’s no supply requirement associated with getting this reward.
How to Increase Your Rewards
The key to getting more and better rewards is to increase your supply level when you can. The idea is to ramp up the value of your shipments if you like the reward you’ll receive. For example, if you’re running a Ranger build, you’ll want DEX items. Te Onui offers these things in exchange for Crimson Ore and Orichalcum. Instead of just meeting the quota, you can go beyond and send an excess amount of goods to ramp up the value and get more significant rewards.
Crops are usually needed to ramp up shipment value. However, another helpful resource would be Thaumaturgic Dust, which you get from disenchanting items in your town. The idea is to increase the shipment value using a combination of crops and dust on top of the resource being asked. Not only will this increase the rarity of what you’ll get, but it also increases how much you can obtain with the shipments.
Previously, Thaumaturgic Dust served as a multiplicative factor in increasing your Shipment Value. It multiplied the worth of your trade depending on certain thresholds. However, the mid-patch saw significant changes in how Thaumaturgic Dust can influence shipments. Instead of being multiplicative, it now serves as an additive function, so you don't need to rely on the base value of the items being asked for. You want to add as much Thaumaturgic Dust as possible, increasing the worth of your supplies even if you only send the quota for the preferred resources.
Fortunately, bombarding each shipment with dust won't immediately deplete our supply of Thaumaturgic Dust. We’ll usually have an overabundance of this material since we can keep disenchanting rare items to refill the stockpile. It's always better to use Thaumaturgic Dust this way because we usually have hundreds of thousands of this resource at any given time.
