PirateAhoy's Guide to Earning Coins!

[Red Bull]

Collecting upto 10 of the townsfolk tasks and doing simultaniously i.e Beach clean up, Lost sea chart (easy peasy, kill couple of skeletons), ect. Gives you 100+ each time. (assuming they haven't bothered to change this yet)

Poker gives far more then Blackjack if you know how to play.

War Frigates are far the best way to get coins from ships, Cuba was good place for this, however i hear the Cuban Boy's have taken over.

Hold on didn't they make a rubbish record based on the 'Hamster Dance', which failed to reach the Xmas number one in the UK and were never heard of again

That probs explains a lot, they didn't make much money there, so they decided to pilage the shores of Cuba, venting their frustrations on poor innocent pirates just trying to earn a honest buck.

Oops I digress again, sorry. Yes back to topic. Yes all of above are good.

Thanks, Red Bull. I'll add those.

I just edited the guide and added a 5th way to earn coins.

i think doing townfolk quests are the easiest since they give you 10 gold per quest, and you can do 10 at a time of one quest. I do where you have to kill a skeleton, i get 100 gold, and i find a townfolk near the nearest skeleton so i can keep doing it so quick i can get 1,000 in about 5 minutes

They changed it now, the tasks to get gold from the townfolk only gives out two gold now, but also gives 25 notoriety. I would rather have the gold.

Which townfolk can you get these quests from now? I haven't been able to find them.

[Jack Sunshot]

The townfolk that you can get quests from have a glowing pirate flag over their head.

My tip for free players that are not the strongest:

Sink those Navy Bulwarks with the red flag on top. Those give out three crates and/or treasure chests combined. (two treasures and one crate, three crates, etc.)

If you visit Sam Seabones just across from the shipwright's in Port Royal, he's got a quest to find a lost earing that's buried in a treasure chest. There are digging spots all over Port Royal and you can dig in the same spot over and over again each time getting from 7 to 15 or more gold pieces per shot! One night, I ended up with over 200 gold pieces just from stopping to dig while on other quests. As long as you don't find the earing, you can keep digging. (Don't dig behind the guard house in front of the Govenor's mansion or you'll find the earing, the quest will end and you won't be able to dig for more gold pieces)

Get some awesome gold from the Veterans at Kingshead. Stand behind the white long fence, and aim with your grenades at the center of the Veteran formation. They will all receive damage come at you, but if you back up enough, not be able to hurt you. Don't back p too much though; if you do they will either walk through the fence or go around the fence to get in. Back up just enough to not get hit by them or your grenades, if you decide to use them against the Veterans. You get about 15-23 gold per Veteran, and there are six.
