In other, more piratey news, do we have any islands/shoppes? Also, how does the game calculate your experience level on a puzzle? I'm trying to get stuff to broad so I can navigate with the navy.

We don't have any islands but we do have various shops. The left side of experience rating is based on how long you've played the puzzle. The right side is how you stack up to other players on the ocean.

I've had my account on Puzzle pirates for years now and since I've bought dubloons at one point or another, it's never really deleted. I think the last time I played somewhat was when patching came out; I remember being really good at it (But I know that ultimate/incredible is based on how well everyone on the server does) so I got the ultimate trophy a while ago. I kind of miss the Sage ocean, to be honest. Also, gently caress the navy ranks; getting passed Lieutenant Commander was incredibly difficult time consuming.

All you do is just puzzle; I mean, the bulk of the game is going on pillages to make money which you use to buy cool things/dubloons for badges. You don't even need to know how to run a pillage, just go onto someone's sloop, pick a station, and just puzzle and occasionally rumble/swordfight. Or go with the navy if you need to practice a station. (Pick patching. :ssh:)

You can buy one at an inn or you have a chance at getting one in a CI (Cursed Isles). CI's require a bravery badge and probably some decent stats to get on a boat. You can find them under the notice board/voyages/Sea Monster Hunting. They'll have maps next to the apply button with a V inside an O.

I have finally re-created my old pirate Shornscroti (which still existed on the old ocean, somehow) on Emerald.

One question though, I thought dubloons were account-wide? I created my new guy but my 1200ish dubloons didn't carry over. Do I need to delete my old pirate first?

I think dubloons might be ocean-wide. Not sure on that, though.

Dubloons are account wide. No idea why they wouldn't transfer though. Unless you're saying dubloons and mean POE (Pieces of Eight.)

So, patching is completely impossible now. No matter how hard or fast I try to complete each board, I can never get incredible and my puzzle standing is stuck at Grand Master. Are there any legendary or ultimate patching goons that can tell me how the gently caress I'm supposed to get incredible? At least the excellents pay well in 2,500 PoE per segment elite pay blockades. :getin:

I played this a bit when I was younger and quite enjoyed it. Picked it up again recently when I got bored and realised it's actually decent fun. Completely forgot all my old login details though so I'm now a straggly rag wearing novice again.

Some of these puzzles are just abysmally dull mind. Sailing in particular is just ugh. On the plus side, I made like 10k out of 200 poe playing poker because these guys just don't have a clue, at least at the lower levels. Would quite like to make enough to open a shop/ship/island/whatever and see some of the larger scale economic/government stuff at work, because that side of things seems pretty locked out until you're rich as gently caress.
