Extra Tips and hints:
1. While escorting a merchant ship, you only need to get very close to its destination port (near the dock) and wait for it to come. You don’t have to dock for the ship to complete the quest. As soon as it reaches near the dock, the quest will be completed. Keep rotating the camera to see any approaching pirate ship and kill it until the merchant reaches safely.
2. Arrow direction in minimap is based on the direction your ship is facing and can be changed by rotating the camera angle (press and hold scroll button and move mouse or use left and right arrow keys).
3. You can check your trophies, inventory, ammo or weapon screens while moving from one place to another.
4. Click on the tavern or merchant guild while your ship is docked to get side quests. Side quests might not appear all the time, so keep checking all the ports whenever you can, even the ones you have visited before. When a side quest unlocks, a question mark icon will appear on top of the port.
5. Ammos bound to numbers and you can use those numbers to rapid fire them during battle.
6. Tap the CTRL key to change cannons during battle quickly.
7. Pickups appear randomly and stay on the map unless the zone is changed.
8. Can’t see minimap? Click on minimap button to expand it.
9. Keep moving during battles so that you don’t get hit by enemy cannons. Use the healing ammos to heal your ship if the HP is too low.
10. The numbers of ammos or cannons you have are shown by a small number on the top left corner of each icon (in the HUD).
11. Underwater ships are difficult to hit. Either, wait for them to surface and then hit them (do not move around your ship or they will go back into water) or use Avenger (ammo) or Devastator (cannon).
12. Ships in zone 4 are ghost ships and can steal your gold. So either use a shield or don’t let them come too close to you.
13. To complete or do any quest, do not forget to check the box beside it in the quest journal.
14. Whenever you are not doing any quest actively (i.e. no quest is checked in the journal), then you are in the free roam mode where you will be approached by merchant ships passing by for mini quests. If you want to do that quest when approached, press ENTER in your keyboard, else simply sail away. Doing such mini quests of escorting other merchant ships might not fetch you a lot of gold, but they earn your extra reputation points.
15. When you are docked, pirates move away from you. If you going to undock and the enemies are close to your ship, simply wait for some time until they have left.
