Category:Coins

Coins are normally obtained through gameplay, although they can also be purchased on the market for gold.

The most direct method of obtaining coins is by trading, although as your character advances this will become less important. Other methods of obtaining coins include defeating pirates (instances), sinking treasure ships, sinking super battleships, and (most importantly) automatic trading by your fleet.

Trading

Trading is accomplished by purchasing goods in one port, transporting them to a different port, and selling them. Your profits will be increased if your guild unlocks goods in a port, you increase your ship's load and accountant deck level, or your association increases the quota in the ports. The tycoon event occurs every day at 14:00 server time, is somewhat popular with the major players, and likely to yield merit as well as country enhanced trading profits. You should communicate with the leading players in your country for more information.

Defeating Pirates

Defeating pirates typically results in a coin reward, although it is relatively small.

Sinking Treasure Ships

Scattered throughout the world are treasure ships. These can be sunk for a coin reward. It is possible to accumulate significant amounts of coin from sinking treasure ships, although it is a relatively difficult way to do so if you have other options.

The different treasure ships are as follows: It is possible to sink the small treasure ships with cannon fire, although all are best sunk by boarding. The treasure ships are renewed periodically.
 * Small treasure ship (North Sea and Med) 0.5 million coins
 * Med treasure ship (Around Africa and in Indian Ocean) 1.0 million coins
 * Large treasure ship (East Asia and Southeast Asia) 2.0 million coins
 * Huge Ghost treasure ship (New World) 3.0 million coins

Super Battleships

There are a number of super battleships scattered throughout the world. Sinking them yields significant coin, experience, and other rewards. They renew periodically, but are difficult to sink because they are popular targets for experienced players. They must be found before they can be sunk, and they are likely to be already sunk.

Automatic Trading

Every day at 0800 server time, your activity points are reset to zero. Clicking the activity button will list a number of activities that can increase your point value. When your activity points reach 100, your fleet will begin automatic trading.

Automatic trading profits can be increased by upgrading the ships in the fleet, assigning sailors to the ships in the fleet, increasing the load capacity of the ships, increasing the number of ships in the fleet, and your association investing in the various ports.

This can be, by far, one of the easier ways to obtain coins. It does, however, require investment for the greater rewards.
