easy earn cannon or sailing exp

How do you earn fast and easy cannon and sailing exp?

[gravediggerjason]

best thing i can say .. is that , always be crewed up for the bonus and sail alot .. there no fast way to do it .... hunt ships a few lvl s over your lvl .. I.E. if you lvl 15 with lvl 15 sailing hunt lvl 18 ish ships .. more rep then the little ones and easier to sink then Storm Reapers.... if your level is higher then camp the big boys .. find a farming spot for Ogres/Monarchs and takem down they are big easy targets with alot of hull space to land your shots on....if your fire power is high make sure to poke some holes in the sails before you send her to the locker this will give a bit of a rep boost..... Ironwalls/ Vangaurds are the next size down .... watch the compass and play with the galleons .. easier to hit till you are good and seasoned

Later, Balck Harbingers to run from

Dont run and gun. Find some ships that are higher lvl then you (obviously not to high) sail with in cannon range (NOT BROADSIDE RANGE). Start firing until you "tag" it (hit it). Once its tagged it will sail straight for you, aim for the mast until either you take the a mast or 2 out, or until it gets with in radar range (make sure your radar is zoomed out). Once in radar range or close to it, aim for the hull and fire away. Learn the range of your broadsides, when its within broadside range, fire a broadside, then go back to a close cannon and fire more cannon, after a few rounds, go back to broadside. By now the ship is prolly getting close, once they start to turn they will be in there broadside range. Try to avoid letting them get a barrage off by moving out of there range and repeating the above. If you successfully took out a mast or 2, they will move like a snail and give you more time to sink them before you need to move, or if you still need to move, it will be easier and quicker to get away from them.

I see way to many people making the mistake of getting right next to the ship and firing. Trust me, it works alot better if you take caution and not run in for the kamakzi attack.

This stragtegy will raise both sailing and cannon, i have used it for awhile now. Like grave said, go after galleons, there armor is weak in the front, the front is a HUGE target, they dont have front cannons (ony Jug's will shoot forward from my experiences) and there slow. They are easy to take down in with this stragegy.

Oh, also, when switching positions, make sure your rounds hit before you leave a cannon or the wheel, or else they will have no effect.

Sail with a crew on a Frigate, but don't go shooting at everything in sight, its a quick way to get sunk when 4 war-somethings close in and broadside you.
