I won 200 pieces of eight from a sword fight last night. I only need about 2600 more to get a sabre. I don't want to get any of the other dinky swords before that. Sword fighting isn't too hard unless you're being teamed up on by 3 or more. 2 is sometimes doable, but 3 is damn near impossile.
Sailing and carpentry are easy. Bilging is kinda a pain. Like, it's easy for a little while and then the pieces just get too random to do anything with them. Also, when people aren't carpenting enough, the damage doesn't get fixed and the water fills up. Once that happens it's a pain to get rid of the crabs. They just get in the way.

Let me qualify these a bit more. They're easy if you get a reasonably random set of pieces, but once it starts to give you the same colored (or in carpentry: shaped) pieces over and over again, it can be hard to dump the pieces so you don't screw yourself up. I also don't recommend playing after about 1am since you'll probably be unable to concentrate well.quantus wrote:Sailing and carpentry are easy.

What will help you in sword fighting in one on one battles is to notice the fill pattern of the sword you're fighting against. The colors are predetermined and you can really use this knowledge against your opponent when setting up chains or just plain massive blocks. Also, once you have a big sword block, it can't be broken by thrusting sword attacks, so you can actually "block" enemy strikes from the side by building up solid blocks along the sides.Dwindlehop wrote:i beat a guy at swordfighting, though he took two out of three. i still can't beat the computer.
