Just FYI, don’t panic if you lose your crew and ship in battle, it Re-spawns back at Tortuga, you don’t lose entirely, just might lose a lot of hard work in supplies, etc…ģ. The 1st Tier and 2nd Tier named ships have anywhere from 350-500 Crew on-board whom can kill your boarding crew and then make you have to restart. If it’s a 1st Tier or 2nd Tier Identified ship by name, Do not attack this thinking you can capture it, unless you are commanding at least 4-5 ships around it to fire at it alone. Also when going out and trying to capture a ship that’s guarded by others, lure the other ships out, sink them (even if you have to RAM them in the side then fire your cannons) and then when you get close to the ship you want to capture use GRAPESHOT which kills CREW, get it down to at least 1/2 or 1/4th of the ship before Boarding the ship to kill the rest. Use this port to upgrade everything to MAX so it speeds up production on items and has maxed out storage space for you to put things in for later on selling or trading.Ģ. You also find 1 PORT of which you capture and build up to level 6 Fort ASAP, might cost a bit, but well worth it. In addition to buying lots of the item and using it for yourself, you can also travel on over to the town where the item in question is expensive and sell it back for profit. Check the city’s shop and look for any prices that are highlighted in green – that means it’s selling for cheaper than usual. You may hear that a certain item is super cheap somewhere or expensive. If you buy a round of beer for the people inside, you may hear some gossip and rumors, which usually amounts to the current price of items. When visiting a city, you can stop by the local tavern. Make your surprise attack count, as you may not get another one for some time.

To remedy this you can change the name of your ship, but it’s quite costly to do so.

It’s important to keep in mind that you can only do this once before you’re marked as a pirate, thus enabling any further enemies to see through your disguise. This allows you to get the first strike on them as they won’t be hostile to you when you’re in proximity. The tutorial will teach you how to trick enemy ships into thinking you’re from a specific country.
