Sooner or later, though, life in Raft feels more like an adventurous holiday, and this makes it one of the best survival games ever with ease. With a Trading Post filled with blueprints and items eventually at your fingertips, turning your raft into a paradise is completely possible. You will, however, need Trade Coins to buy new items that’ll improve your chances of surviving and quality of living. It’s not immediately apparent how to get Trade Coins, especially if you’re a hoarder like me who doesn’t like to sell much. In this guide, we explain exactly what you need to do to have your pockets full of Trade Coins in Raft.
How to get Trade Coins in Raft
In Raft, you can acquire multiple Trade Coins by selling items at the Trading Post. However, you will first need to get your hands on the items that can be traded. To do this, buy some Tier 1 bait and go fishing with it. The fish you catch using the bait can then be traded at the Trading Post. Fish that can be traded for Trade Coins include, but are not limited to:
Glowshrimp Netnibbler Sharp Carp Foamspitter Pufferlisk Pentapus Rainbow Lobster Lionfish Lunar Fish Trap Snapper Shark Eater Pink Pike
How to use Trade Coins in Raft
Using Trade Coins is simple, and you don’t even need to leave the Trading Post that you just acquired them from to do so. Trade Coins can be used to buy various items from the Trading Post, alongside Trash Cubes. You can use the coins to purchase new blueprints, structures, titanium ore, and more, provided you unlock the three Tiers. You can unlock Tier 2 and Tier 3 by enhancing your reputation, which funnily enough, is done by selling things at the Trading Post. So, in your pursuit to bag a load of Trade Coins, you’ll no doubt end up impoving your reputation and unlocking higher Trading Post Tiers, too. That’s all there is to Trade Coins!
