Ship upgrades and loot trading
Every trading vessel and hostile pirate ship destroyed on the water leaves behind valuable cargo. Sailing over this loot allows you to gather goods and bring them to market. The profits earned from privateering are invested directly into essential vessel improvements. Upgrading your vessel makes your ship quicker across the water, allowing you to catch fleeing targets or escape dangerous encounters. Further improvements increase your durability and combat power, giving your crew the necessary strength to challenge formidable opponents, including legendary warships and massive sea monsters.
Tips and strategy
- Target merchant vessels first: Trade ships offer valuable loot with minimal threat, helping you fund your first boat improvements safely.
- Invest in speed early: Increasing your sailing speed makes navigation faster and lets you position your cannons effectively during battles.
- Upgrade before hunting monsters: Giant sea creatures hit hard and take substantial damage to defeat, so engage those challenges only with a reinforced ship.
- Keep exploring the map: Sailing farther into uncharted territory reveals hidden encounters, including stranded villagers who need your assistance.
- Use pointer steering for quick turns: Guiding your ship with the mouse allows responsive maneuvers when dodging enemy broadsides.
