Game Tips: Earn Gold Quickly

Gold, without it, a pirate would be almost nothing. He/she wouldn't have a ship, jewlery, decent clothes, or weapons that make your enemies say WOW! But theres some point in the career of a pirate where he/she has an eye out for that shiny cutlass in the blacksmith's window, or that piece of garb that would make all your mates jealous. When the pirate decides to purchase one of those fine items, they can't, they are missing a very important item that every pirate needs.Gold. The fealing of an empty stomach and disappointment. But here are some very easy and effective ways to earn gold quickly so you can buy that piece of garb before the supply runs out!

Privateering
Privateering (SvS) can or cannot be a effective way to earn gold quickly. It all depends on your sailing and cannon level mates. If your cannon level is high ( maybe 20+) then i would suggest that you head to the severs of Abassa and Andaba. All of the most notorious privateers are there, working for either the fighting French, or the powerful Spanish.So you can either launch your own ship using the dinghy, or board another mates ship.''' Hint:Go on the team that has the least amount of bounty, it will give you more gold to plunder from the opposite team. You can always check each teams bounty by using the ~ button.''' Next, go for the ship with the highest bounty, but usually the ship with the highest bounty if a very powerful ship and is no easy task taking down. So i suggest going on a ship with more powerful mates, making it easier to sink other ships

Privateering Gold Stra tegy
Now, many reffer to this as a glitch, but to me its just a simple strategy using the privateer bounty system. Ok first, get a trustworthy friend, and find an empty server where nobody is privateering on. Then, get your friend to launch on the spanish side, and you launch on the french side. Next, you and your friend take turns sinking eachother( First you sink him, then he sinks you, then you sink him, and so on.... ) Each time you sink eachother, the bounty gets higher and higher. So the first time you sink your friend you get a gold reward of 50, then the next time he sinks you, he gets a gold reward of 80, then the next time you sink him, you get a gold reward of 110. Then it just will get bigger. And before you know it, you will get gold rewards of 1000 each time you sink your friend.Note:This strategy is very effective but it is not a very quick method.

Ship repair
The ship repair mini game can be found on the main islands ( Tortuga, Port Royal, and Padres Del Fuego )They are found near the shipwrights and have 3 difficulties, easy, medium, and hard. When you complete the easy ship repair, you will get a gold reward between 5-30 gold. Medium ship repair games give a gold reward of 35-50 gold. Hard ship repair games give rewards of 55-130 gold. So I would recommend going to the hard mini game to earn more gold.

Cannon Defense
The Cannon Defense mini game can also be found on the main islands. On Port Royal it is found in Fort Charles. On Padres Del Fuego it is found in Fort Dundee. On Tortuga it is found in the Tortuga Graveyard. You earn gold from Cannon Defense by completing a wave, the amount of gold that you get depends on the amount of damage you did in that wave and how much shore treasure you kept in that wave.I wouldn't recommend you doing this if you aren't good at Cannon Defense.

Blackjack & Poker
The Blackjack and Poker card games can be found at all but one parlor in the caribbean( That parlor is the Goslin Prymme's in the Back of Padres ) Both of these card games can be very effective in getting gold quickly. In order to get a steady amount of gold, I would recommend going to Tortuga or Port Royal. The average amount of gold reward given on these islands are about 100-150 gold, maybe more.But if you are a high-stakes card player, and like taking that large pot of gold in the middle of the table, then Padres Del Fuego is the right place for you. If you win in either of these card games, you will win an average of 1000-1500 gold reward.'''Note:This isn't the best way to earn gold because there still is a chance that you can loose gold too!But if you want to raise the odds in your favor, you will need alot of cheat cards. ( You can get cheat cards by plundering from enemies )'''

Plundering at Sea
Sinking ships, collecting their loot, and spliting the loot is a very effective way to earn gold fast. But, it can be uneffective too, unless you know what ships to hunt for. The Hinterseas( The sea between Kingshead and Padres Del Fuego)and the Marineers Reef( The sea between Outcast Island and Padres Del Fuego ) are home to some of the strongest and deadliest ships in the caribbean, such as, corsairs, juggernuats, behmoths, ogres, death omens, and collasus. These ships drop great loot and gold, but be warned, they aren't an easy task taking down. I suggest getting a crew of a couple of your mates and go plunder together, it is too much of a risk to plunder alone.'''Hint: Navy and EITC treasure fleets give some of the best loot that a single ship can drop. So whenever that event occurs, I suggest going on a populated server, and going on a public ship.'''

Plundering On Land
Killing enemies is one of the oldest pirate traditions that you can do. Now with the new updates, all enemies drop loot. But of course, all of the loot in the container is something that you would want to wear or want to use to fight.So, you can either keep it, and later sell it( depends on what kind of weapon it is, crude weapons aren't worth much gold and isn't worth keeping it)Depending on what level you are, and what kind of weapons you have, you can sell higher level items and get more gold for the item. My personal best place to plunder, is the Padres Beach (The back of Padres).I would recommend going to a populated server( depending what level you are ) and killing either Timothy Darten, or General Darkheart. They are known to give the best loot drops, the highest amount of gold, and the best weapons in the caribbean. I have gotten thosands and thosands of gold from Genreal Darkheart, and I have gotten 17 famed weapons from him.He really does drop great loot.
