Best Way To Earn Gold?

[Edward Edgemenace]

Ugh. I should have read it more carefully. The best way would be sailing - the fastest way is blackjack (I voted blackjack, but meant sailing.) FWIW, I didn't learn just how ridiculously easy it is to get a lot of gold very fast at the PDF blackjack tables, until AFTER I had my first two war frigates.

Maybe a better poll would be to have separate ones for sailing, lvl up grenades at KH, lvl up staff at KH, blackjack on PDF. Then perhaps separate series for things that don't work as well, like lvl up cutlass on KH or poker on PDF (with generous friend) or poker on PDF (without generous friends) or blackjack on port royal. One poll a week for each of them, as "Your most gold per hour at xxxxx: -100 to 0; 1 to 100; 101 to 1,000; 1,001 to 2,000; 2,001 to 3,000; 3,001 to 4,000; 4,001 to 5,000; 5,001 to 10,000; 10,001 or more."

I know I've never broken 4,000 per hour sailing. But I know for grenades and staff, I've broken 4k per hour on KH. Poker with friends, I've donated more than 10,000 per hour. Blackjack (recently) I made more than 15k/hr (but the 65k limit really gets in the way.)
