Wow. I sailed on somebody's War Frigate today! That boat was huge, and it took a while to get up the stairs to the helm. Anyway, that thing made those boats seem little and helpless! I got about 400 gold, and even saw a Royal Chest for the first time! Sailing gets a lot more than I noticed, if you have the right boat.

I agree with WizardHawk. Power leveling at Kingshead gives the highest payoff for the time you spend with no investment of your own gold (unless you're using grenades or daggers). Even if you get your weapons to a level where you're not getting all that many rep points, the amount of gold stays the same.

I have a war frigate with 1 point on treasure sense, and I average 200-500 for a full hold if I go after the EITC war ships. But I always take major damage to my ship doing this, which is close to 100 to fix each time (180 if I end up in jail).

I earned 2/3 of what I needed to buy the war frigate leveling the weapons at Kingshead.

I went to Kingshed and fought ememies there. (With like tons and tons of other people) I was there for about 30 min. and I earned about 1k just defeating enemies. We kept taking down that one group of 18's. I was amazed

Now that I got my staff, I find power-leveling works way better.


I get about 2k every thirty minutes if I solo it, and about 4000+ rep in thirty minutes.


( I find it works better when you have staff that you do it solo... only get 1/3 the rep when it's with someone else. )

Most of my Gold comes from plundering the sea. Second would be killing the Navy and Undead.

I can earn more gold leveling weapons at Kingshead than I can in the same amount of time spent sailing, AND I don't have to worry about ship repairs.

However, as my weapons levels get higher, it seems more worth it to sail for plunder because I earn more Notoriety. With my staff, I'll get between 3-30 gold for each soldier on the field (6-7 of them), but I only earn 3-4 rep points each. But with sailing, I can get sometimes 100 rep and over 100 gold for a single ship.

Since I've already reached the gold cap twice, and it takes more and more points to level up my Notoriety, I'm finding sailing to be a better bargain, even though it means ship repairs and an occasional trip to jail.

By far the fastest and easiest way to get gold is by blaying poker on Padres Del Fuego (and winning). The stakes are way higher, and with only 4 other people playing I have won over 4000 gold in one round. The downside is that you can also lose big...

Right now, I'm making the most gold by killing enemies. I don't have one of the War ships yet. However, I've been in large crews that raked in the gold by sailing.

I go to Kingshead and shoot Flaming Skull at the Veterans. I get about 4k in a half hour. I think that beats anything.

The easiest way for me to get gold is killing veterans with your grenades on kingshead. Just stay behind the fence and fire away.
