Good way to get loot at sea

[WitchdoctorDan]

Today, I had an idea. L-like a diamond bullet going through my forehead. (Reference!) I have noticed that you get loot containers from crippling flagships, BEFORE you board them. So, if you want a hold full of loot containers, do the following:

1.) Find a flagship. (Higher level ones are more likely to give better loot)
2.) Cripple it, getting your Loot Container, if you get one.
3.) Grapple it, but DO NOT BOARD.
4.) Sail away and laugh as it sinks.
5.) Repeat.
6.) BE RICH!

This is in theory only. I haven't tried this, but am as I type. It may be possible to get the Admiral's cutlass this way, and many other sea-only goodies. Post your stories and feedback here. This works best on a quiet server.

Fair Winds!
