Ashes of Creation Where to Turn In Crates
Crates are one of the first real money systems players touch in Ashes of Creation. The confusing part is not making them, it is knowing where they actually get turned in.
Where to Turn In Crates in Ashes of Creation
You turn crates in at a Market Commodity Station.
The turn in is handled by the Market Commodity Vendor standing next to that station.
That is the only place crates are delivered.
How to Identify a Market Commodity Station
Market Commodity Stations are easy to spot once you know what to look for.
They use a basket icon on the minimap. The station itself is a physical structure in towns and settlements.
If you do not see a basket icon, you are not at the right place.
Turning In Market Commodity Crates
Market commodity crates are for gold.
Bring the crate to a Market Commodity Station in a different settlement than where it was created. Talk to the Market Commodity Vendor and complete the delivery.
The gold payout depends on distance and server supply at the time of delivery.
Turning In Construction Crates
Construction crates are not for gold.
They are turned in the same way, at the Market Commodity Vendor, but they reward settlement reputation instead of money.
These are used to help build towns and unlock systems.
Important Rules About Crate Turn Ins
Crates cannot be turned in anywhere else.
Not at general vendors
Not at storage
Not at crafting stations
Not at caravans
Only Market Commodity Vendors accept them.
If the crate does not show up in the delivery menu, you are either at the wrong station or in the same settlement where it was created.
Distance and Settlement is Important
Crates must be delivered to a different settlement.
Turning a crate in nearby usually pays less. Longer routes usually pay more, but come with more risk.
This is why crate running attracts PvP.
Final Blurb
Crates in Ashes of Creation are always turned in at Market Commodity Stations through the Market Commodity Vendor. If you remember the basket icon and the vendor next to it, you will never get lost again. Everything else is just choosing how far you want to travel and how much risk you are willing to take.
