Officer Training Part 1 : Restocks

1. Stock

2 things you gonna need for running a pillage, rum and cannonballs. For sloop we will be using small cannonballs. For other type of ship,

Cannon size Ship types
Small Sloop, cutter, longship
Medium Dhow, baghlah, merchant brig, war brig, xebec
Large Fanchuan, junk, merchant galleon, war frigate, grand frigate


You can also use swill or grog but they don't last as long as rum. Swill is said to last only 40% as long as rum and grog 60%.


To buy stock, first press to the 'ship's hold', and press 'Inspect ship's hold'






Then,
1. Press on Buy/Sell commodities. Then press sort by sell price (top right corner) to get the best price.
2. Pick the stock you want to buy, (cannonball, rum and etc) and put in the unit you want to buy
3. Press buy. Tadaa
 
To sell stock,
1. That is your homework for today. Go fiqure it out -_-.



How much stock you need? This one up to couple of factor. How long are you planning for your pillage, how much do you want to load and how much you shoot per battles. I'm a VERY trigger happy person with a tendency to do long pillage (3-4 hours long pillage) so i usually restock my sloop to 50 rums and 500 cbs. Of course for normal person, this is overstock. Sometimes, 30 rums and 200 cbs is enough. Remember that more stock you have onboard, more you will lose if you lose the battles.

  1. It just occurred to me that you did not include the "sort by buy" and then "sort by sell" options to get the best prices.
