mosin360 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I see supplies like wood and metal being more of a pain to acquire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbious17 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I'd have to say plundering ships and expanding/using Kenway's fleet would be the best and fastest way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lornesbored Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 There doesn't seem to be a way to get quick cash in the game it all seems kinda grindy. Probably when you get higher level ships in ken ways fleet it will yield more cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morbious17 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 You could try gambling. These are all at taverns. Nine Men’s Morris: beginner – Arroyos Nine Men’s Morris: beginner – Crooked Island Nine Men’s Morris: intermediate – Andreas Island Nine Men’s Morris: intermediate – Corozal Nine Men’s Morris: intermediate – Salt Key Bank Nine Men’s Morris: expert – Kingston Checkers: intermediate – Great Inagua Checkers: expert – Grand Cayman Fanorona: intermediate – Kingston Fanorona: expert – Ile a Veche beginner max bet = 100R intermediate max bet = 500R expert max bet = 1000R I found checkers to be the easiest, even on expert. That's probably because I'm an idiot and that's the only game where I can easily plan ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Madman Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 The best method I found so far (only in sequence 5) is sending your fleet on missions. Clear out the location at the bottom (think it's South America) of the list and send as many ships as you can. It takes about 5 hours to complete it and does not use many resources. Also keep clearing out locations (with your fleet) as they give you resources that can be traded in missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe NoMaD Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I see supplies like wood and metal being more of a pain to acquire. This. By the end of the game you will have a lot of money while probably needing to attack a lot more ships for metals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chief78513 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 This. By the end of the game you will have a lot of money while probably needing to attack a lot more ships for metals. Yeah, I have more money than I can spend currently like 130K but metal is especially scarce. I need to find plans before I can upgrade the ship anymore. Cloth and wood are abundant though; I always get full and have to sell some. On topic; just keep doing naval battles and sending them to your fleet and buying upgrades so you can do that faster lol. In the mini-game keep the lanes safe and your ships out. I always leave at least a schooner and frigate not out for the lil battles. I upgraded the harpooning stuff first all the way which makes white whales much easier and they're worth 4K a piece. The naval convoys can carry 10K too and are really easy once you get ur ship upgraded some. It can seem a lil grindy, but I do enjoy the naval stuff once I got the hang of it. I'm taking my time and haven't progressed that far in the story, only on sequence 5 because I keep getting side-tracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImaginaryRuins Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I'm in Seq.4 Memory 2, have been try to open all chest available, do naval contracts, and mostly plunder frigates rich in goods to get money. As I still need to find more special events to complete Abstergo challenges, roaming on the sea plundering ships isn't too much of a grinding to me.

M1GHTY M4VS Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 There seems to be a glitch for making money as the leaderboards show some odd numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall x Ninja Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 i ran into a royal convoy which was worth 20 000R (blue instead of white)(also need to be online i beileve, it tells you you share location with friend) i dont think moneys an issue at all in game tho, my main problem is getting wood/metal for upgrades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarDreamer99 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 The other day, I spent a few hours plundering ships in the SW corner of the map. I encountered 2 blue Royal conveys and several white ones. There are also several Man O' Wars down there. I came away with a lot of Reales. Of course, you'll need several upgrades on your ship to be able to cope with these battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plundering is the best with timing and payoff. However, it's never really been a problem earning money in these games. This game offers so many ways to do it as well. Plundering ships is by far the best due to everything it offers. Not only, say if you take on a royal convoy, you get a substantial payoff but resources towards your ship and to sell. Secluded and Social chests seem to pay off the most getting as close to $1000 as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the spyglass and it'll tell you what a ship is holding. Gunships and Schooners rarely carry good amounts of wood/metal. Frigates and above do since they're packing tons of weaponry and defense so they should be stocked up. I actually just plunder a few and wait for a Hunter to come after me. They actually have really good supplies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lornesbored Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 When you get most of the map discovered and do a lot of fleet missions you get just flush with cash and nothing to spend it on. I'm in sequence 11 with 192kR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyBoyBob Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I found the easiest way was to send your fleet off on their missions, then as theyre off doing their things, you plunder all the boats you can find with Sugar / Rum. Sugar + Rum sell for the most, and since youll need all the other materials too you can just plunder anything with one of these (both is even better).

I figured the fleet game would make you some money but I've really only done it like 3 time. I do like the little turn based strategy motif for "battles". There are just a ton of ways to decently earn money in the game. Truly a pirates life for Eddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd. Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Secluded and Social chests seem to pay off the most getting as close to $1000 as possible. I found a couple chests so far that were gold on my minimap, worth over 3,000R each. Are they just some random special chests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I know the Social Chests look darker than most and give more than $1000 reales easily. If I'm not mistaken, those are tied to the Black Island DLC set b/c after finally getting my code to work (apparently it didn't register the first time) I found an extra chest on Florida, Crooked Island and somewhere else containing a similar amount to your $3k. One was definitely 2500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HackFlea Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Indeed. Selling looted cargo can quickly earn you a ton of dough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
