**ALL NEW** Guide to Sinking Jolly Roger Ships
Ahoy mateys! Welcome to my new guide, how to sink Jolly Roger ships. Well, since I already finished the introduction, let's get started!
- 1. Get a Galleon and 2 crewmen. Make sure they're good cannoneer's - you'll need good ones for this.
- 2. Make sure your Full Sail and Come About skills are fully charged. Incase you get into a sticky situation you'll need both.
- 3. Now comes the hard part (this takes patience, but the rewards are plenty). Set sail and find the ship you want to sink. Tell your crew to hold fire. Observe the ship's turning lines, then line your ship up within range of broadsides so the ship will turn so the front end faces you.
- 4. Once the front end faces you and it's within range of broadsides, let those cannons fly! The ship will come straight towards you. Hopefully you can get 2-3 broadside shots in before it starts to turn when it's right next to you.
- 5. By now, your 2 cannoneer's should be firing those cannons like mad. Tell them to use firebrand or lightning if they have it, if not just use plain round shot. Also tell them to aim for the rear of the ship. Once the JR ship comes right next to you, it will turn to it's left. Keep your ship sideways right on the nose of it. Make sure it can't turn sideways on you, or you'll get hit by their lightning bolts. Keep doing this until the ship is sunk. If you do it right, you should have used up about a fifth or a quarter of your ship's health.
- 6. Should the other ship turn sideways on you, use Come About and turn your ship away from the enemy (to your right). Keep turning until you are again sideways to the enemy ship. Use Full Sail to get your ship lined up with the rear of the enemy, then fire away. If the broadside doesn't get close to killing the ship, run away, repair if necessary, and repeat steps 1-5.
I've used these tips to get 2, even 3 royal chests each time. I usually get Emeralds which give 90 gold per chest, so being the captain I make around 250 each haul.
Good luck matey! If you ened any help, just post here or PM me. Fair winds!
