New Skins Half Prices and PVP Rewards

Arr pirates!! There be new wind in our sails in Pirates Tides of Fortune, so let's share few words with one another regarding these.

First up we have New Haven Skins called Chateau d'If and Rumrunner's Rock, both giving +1000 Defense and costing 5000 Rubies. Me favorite be the Chateau d'If - me think it be really nice. Did ye buy any of these? What do ye think 'bout the design? Put down in the comments.

Next, we have the new Lonely Captain Quest which be basically a smashing challenge to raid and murder other captains and their Havens. The more destruction ye be causing the more booty ye be getting as reward, with the top place getting 15,000 Rubies and 5 Pearls and, more important than all of that, a 5% reduction in the consumption of Rum, which be meaning same thing as a 5% increase in the army.

So it be good to scout a lot looking fer some easy targets, but to be honest my efforts be not successful 'cause I wanted to lose as little army as possible and find easy to kill enemy troops.

They be also combining the booty we raid in into a total gained amount, which be looking really nice, but, of course, it be a little bit misleading 'cause Rum only be having half the value compared to other resources.

Here ye see one of the targets me found with easy 38 Bonnies to be killed gave me 100 ranking points and 37 experience.

And last, but definitely not the least, we be getting half prices now in the Smuggler's Den, which means all the people who like to buy ships and units there should be super happy. Our new unit, the fast and high capacity ship, Dagger, for example, be costing now only 128 Rubies, which be a totally different story.

So what ye think about all these changes? Ye like or ye be hating them? How do ye think all these be a good step forward for Pirates Tides of Fortune or not? Put yer opinion down in the comments.

Dedicated Ship for Grabbing Booty - Dagger

Arr pirates!! Let's talk about the new ship they be building at the Smuggler's Den - the Dagger! There be no pirate who wouldn't stand with his one eye wide open looking at the Dagger ship. It be boasting a massive raiding capacity of 750 so 67 Daggers can be hauling 50,000 booty. In addition to that, it be so fast that it can make 1 trip in the same time as our fastest ships would take 4 trips to accomplish. That be thanks to its fast sails giving it a whooping 90 mph speed.

However, on the downside, it be pretty naked and not capable of fighting nothing but a tiny defense force, so it be just a dedicated ship for grabbing booty from havens where ye know there be no defense whatsoever.

Then, of course, being a Smuggler's Den creation, it be not freely attainable. Ye be needing a good amount of Rubies for this fast Dagger. As a matter of fact, if we do a quick little calculation we can say that if ye send a full force of 50,000 resource stealing, fast as the wind, Daggers and ye happen to run into an ambush or lose them for whatever other reason then ye be looking at a loss of Rubies in the region of 15,000, which be a massive blow.

So there ye go, ye be seeing both strong benefits and risks and ye gotta make yer own pirate mind about it. So what ye think? Will ye be making an order of these to the Smuggler's Den?

Increase Galleon Capacity by 20%

Arr pirates!! Fer those Rum drinking traders who haven't yet taken advantage of this, here I be explaining ye how to increase yer trading galleon's carrying capacity by 20% and more using idols.

Ido-what?? Ya, me know, me also knew nothing of idols when me started pirating and drinking Rum, but here be the secret fer ye:

1) Ye need Idols. These ye can get in the global missions which we regularly have. Here fer example the one that finished just at end of March was giving the rewards:

So ye see, fer gathering 80 of those Monk's Habits for the Global Mission ye get the reward of 100 Idols and the good news be that anyone almost can achieve this.

Now that ye know where to get Idols we go to the next step:

2) Ye go to the Smuggler's Den and on the menu, on the top right side there be a button "IDOLS" - click that and ye be taken to a sort of a shopping window where you can spend yer hard earned pirated idols.

3) Ye select GALLEONS and purchase 2 times for 100 Idols to increase yer galleon capacity by 10% and then again 10%, which be actually more than the 20% i said.

Now ye see that there be other choices as well, for example fer the Duelist ye need to spend 100 idols for the sketch, but there be no point in getting that if ye are not advanced enough to be training them. So in the beginning invest in yer trading capacity and later earn more Idols to spend more!
