FAQs
Why can you not sell Medicine or Provisions to smugglers in Windrose?
For some reason, Medicine and Provisions have descriptions that tell you that they can be sold to the people of Tortuga. However, based on what we have found, no buyer is willing to take these items.
It might be the case of being updated in the future. Alternatively, you might need to complete certain quests and return to the merchants to check if they are willing to buy it now.

The provisioners of all four factions can be found at the main hub in Tortuga. These sell various items to you, often restricted to that specific faction.
