Your cargo hold fills up fast in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, and not every item earned is worth the same. Some are dead weight best converted into Reales, others are the backbone of Edward’s gear and the Jackdaw’s upgrades. Sorting the two out early saves you from re-farming materials you already had and sold.
What to Sell in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced
Two categories of loot are pure profit with no downside. Cosmetic trinkets like necklaces and earrings pulled from chests and treasure caches serve no function beyond their resale value, so there’s no reason to hold on to them. Surplus Rum Barrels and Wine fall into the same bucket once your cargo hold is overflowing with more than you need.
| Item | Sell Price | Why It’s Safe to Sell |
|---|---|---|
| Rum Barrel | 30 Reales each | Only the barrel form as surplus cargo, not Rum used as a Trade Good |
| Wine | 20 Reales per bottle | Pure cargo overflow, no crafting use |
| Necklaces, earrings, trinkets | Varies | Cosmetic loot with no gameplay function |
What to Buy in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced
Reales are hard to come by early on, so don’t spend them on things you can pick up for free. Exploring, boarding ships, and hunting will hand you most raw materials without costing a single coin, so save your money for what you can’t easily get another way.
Priority purchases
- Ship upgrades for the Jackdaw
- Weapons for Edward
- Cosmetic items for Edward and the Jackdaw
Pouring Reales into these early pays off fast, since a stronger Jackdaw and better-equipped Edward make both naval battles and melee fights noticeably less punishing, letting you clear story and side content faster.
What to Keep in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced
Trade Goods and Wildlife Products look tempting to offload for quick cash, but selling them locks you out of Edward’s gear upgrades and the Treasure Dealer’s exchange system in Great Inagua.
Items to keep
- Trade Goods (Rum, Spice, Aloe, and similar resources)
- Wildlife Products
- Materials reserved for Edward’s gear crafting
- Materials reserved for rare weapons, trinkets, and treasure maps through the Treasure Dealer
Wildlife Products are the harder of the two to farm back, and they feed directly into essential gear and weapon upgrades, so treat them as untouchable stock rather than spare income. Trade Goods work the same way until Great Inagua opens the Treasure Dealer, at which point Rum, Spice, Aloe, and similar materials can be traded in for rare upgrade parts and exclusive cosmetics worth far more than their sell price.

Note: Rum causes confusion because it shows up on both lists. A surplus Rum Barrel sitting in your hold is fine to sell off, but Rum counted as a Trade Good belongs in storage for the Treasure Dealer and gear crafting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is safe to sell in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced?
Cosmetic loot like necklaces, earrings, and trinkets, plus any surplus Rum Barrels and Wine, can be sold without hurting your progress.
Should I sell Trade Goods like Rum and Spice?
Hold onto them instead. They feed Edward’s gear upgrades and unlock better rewards through the Treasure Dealer once Great Inagua is available.
Should I sell Wildlife Products?
No. These are needed for essential gear and weapon upgrades and are harder to replace than the Reales you’d earn selling them.
What should I buy first?
Put your early Reales toward weapons, ship upgrades, and cosmetics for Edward and the Jackdaw instead of items you can gather for free.
Where can I exchange Trade Goods for better rewards?
Once you unlock the Treasure Dealer in Great Inagua, you can trade Trade Goods for rare upgrade materials and exclusive cosmetic items.
