The short version
- Open the game and sign in. You start at the docks, the hub everything else leads back to.
- You are given a Clockwork Brig, and a raft and dinghy are always available to sail for free.
- Queue from the shack on the right side of the docks. Pick Pillage War to earn, or Deathmatch to fight for the sake of it.
- Fish, sink enemies, and buy cheap at one island's trade post to sell dear at another. Everything you collect pays out in Doubloons.
- Sail home to an extraction portal before someone sinks you, because going down costs you three quarters of what you are carrying.
- Back at the docks, spend, bank, take courier work from the Town Crier, join a guild, and go again.
