How to make money with Pirates of the Burning Sea
July 27th, 2008
Playing an on-line game with swashbuckling action has a lot of perks than what it seems. The MMORPG Pirates of the Burning Sea is more than going on missions and fighting ships. In fact, the gold that you earn through scavenging, conquering and plundering can turn into cold hard cash. Now how can you turn your doubloons into real money?
Weapon Sellers and Gold Farmers
There are Internet gaming services that are sprouting around that will help PotBS players get that extra money that they need for more weapons, goods or even a ship. These “gold farmers” usually deliver these doubloons for a certain price. There are also others who would sell other items such as weapons in exchange for cash. These companies acquire the gold and the items through buying gold, items and even accounts to other players.
You can earn money from these gaming services by making characters that can be sold to these companies. You can also make and sell items to these for a nice sum of money as well.
How to Turn Virtual Gold to Real Money
In order for you to get real money from the game, you have to earn more “on-line money”, or doubloons as they call it. You can usually get them by going on different missions for a start. Before you start raking in all those doubloons though, you should choose what is the best focus for your character. You could choose between a Naval Officer, Privateer, Freetrader or a Pirate. The best option if you want to earn gold though is to be a freetrader.
Being a freetrader enables you to shake things up in the game financially speaking by selling and providing products to your nation as well as the other nations. As a freetrader, you can control a certain resource or sell products at really low prices. You can achieve this by building lumberyards and ore mills and sell essentials such as ships, sails and gunpowder.
When you become a freetrader, you can also be able to learn special crafting skills that can help you in selling products that other characters would want to have. These goods are the ones that can even be paid by other PotBS characters in doubloons or in real honest-to-goodness cash. Therefore, this is the best job that can surely bring in the money.
Places to Go for More Doubloons
There are several options in where to go if you want to earn more doubloons through the game. First, you can go through auction houses to sell items to the highest bidder for your goodies. You can also go to the ports to trade with different nations. Another way to help you earn gold faster if you are a freetrader is by having a massive cargo ship. This will enable you to save some precious time whenever you trade your goods with nations. Plus, the gold that you have earned for the products you have sold at the port will be automatically delivered to you.
