I have one point in Treasure Sense; so far, I have no reason to believe that my 5% isn't being added to the payoff probability for cargo contents, but I'm not very convinced that it is affecting the types of cargo I receive.

So, while I don't seem to be getting any more royal chests or treasure chests than I was before I put a point in treasure sense, my proportion of wheat has gone down and the amount of cotton, rum, and iron ore has gone up.

Of course, with only 5% being added to my base roll, I still get plenty of Wheat too. I'd accept that it has the same effect on treasure chests and royal chests, but the base percentages still keep it so we mostly get copper bars and emeralds (especially with only a 5% boost from 1 point).

Crates

Contents.......Value.....Payoff Probability
WHEAT...........5 Gold....35% Chance
COTTON.........7 Gold.....25% Chance
RUM...............9 Gold.....20% Chance
IRON ORE....15 Gold.....10% Chance
IVORY..........25 Gold......5% Chance
SILK............40 Gold.......3% Chance
SPICES........90 Gold.......2% Chance
