Open Fire!

Seeing how these things go, I hereby predict that they will add some sort of skill-point-reallocation quest right around the same time they change "treasure sense" to actually start working.

Treasure sense definately used to work. My pirate with a single point on it brings in larger hauls than my pirate with none, and my pirate with 5 points in it, well hes a treasure hound for sure. I dont think these points though are worth it as gold can be obtained by other means in plentiful quantities.

Ive always had success with Open Fire! Until recently the additional graphics reflecting it was working were not in place (but neither were any grenade throwing enemies.. and they still killed us). I have found that Open Fire has always generally doubled the damage my broadside would do. I've never experienced it appear to be totally useless. Honestly the only one i've ever witnessed appear to be useless, is the now apparently useless Windcatcher.
