Crating Guide

Crating is one of the primary ways to earn money on Horizon's End. This page provides a brief, condensed, overview of the system.

The current maximum number of crates that can be delivered to a Trade City at one time is 1,252 crates. This capacity can be achieved using a Jump Freighter.

Further details, such as specific mechanics and variations, are not covered in this page. These may differ depending on the type of transport used and should be documented separately.

Crates Per Ship Class

Shuttle carries a max of 15 crates

Transport carries a max of 30 crates

Light Freighter carries a max of 60 crates

Medium Freighter carries a max of 89 crates

Heavy Freighter carries a max of 109 crates

Blockade Runner carries a max of 134 crates

How Crating Works

• Crates are purchased from a Crate Exporter
• These crates must then be delivered to a Crate Importer to be sold
• Only crates bought from an exporter can be sold to an importer

Some crates are more valuable than others, but higher-value crates may expire after a certain amount of time, requiring faster delivery.

Note on Crating

Crating deliveries are made between Trade Cities, which are marked by a star on the map.

There are three types of Trade Cities:

• NPC Trade Cities (-ost)
• Player Trade City
• Trade System

Player Trade Cities are shown in red when they are offline or currently unavailable.

Players can currently complete up to 3 crating runs, per city per day.
