Ahoy!
I've just read most of the other threads in this sub-forum. Very nice guide on blackjack, but I disagree with the 490 vs. 500 and the double down seems to never work (guarantees dealer will suddenly cheat) in my experience, anyhow.
Anyway,
I have hit a wall. My lvl 40 pirate only recently started playing the card games seriously. (In the past, I had just played the bare minimum for the various quests.) So "Edward Edgemenace" has 525 cheat cards.
The problem?
They are almost no spades in all those cheat cards. Five are low spades, 520 are hearts, diamonds or clubs.
I'm trying, for the sake of completeness, to get them all. The only times I've gotten spades, are from Black Mack quests, but the last few dozen times I've done his dumb quest, they've been hearts/diamonds/clubs. And his quest is annoyingly time-consuming. My level 40 player, hunting level one gravediggers? Ugh - make me run back and forth for a minute, why? For another stupid nine of clubs?
Arrr!
Help!
Anyone know how to get spades?
