Captain Cid Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) NAB-100336 some guys in this game generate almost unlimited doubloons by exploiting self sinking in pve kill missions. you just have to sink your own ship after switched to a npc boarded one in battle and game generates loot like it was pvp. with skilled captains you can make 4 k dubs in 5 to 10 minutes with 0 risk cause no lokis in kill missions. missions closing at start... you can board a npc ship in first mission. dont sink your own and use only npc ships after that always sinking own ship sailing home with boarded. repeat and repeat... PLS fix. (for example by not generating loot if you sink your own ship) Edited April 29, 2020 by Captain Cid 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please dont theoritise in tribunals and if you heard the rumour, take a mission and test it please first Overall You cannot chain generate doubloons, but a pvp ship (if you kill yourself) its a pvp kill as the ship is destroyed. Remove the ship from game = get rewarded. But there will no no chain doubloons as we know the original owner at the start of the instance is a bot. So you cannot continue chain farming them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not blaming anyone, but I have heard that it's just you need to sink the ship you were "originally" in when the battle starts. In many cases I've heard the players just use the ship they captured in the "next" mission and rinse and repeat. I assume it's "working as intended"....but it's certainly a creative way to get doubloons. "off topic" but couldn't we say this suggests that Doubloon income could use an improvement for non-PvP related activities? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Cid Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 didnt test it by myself but friends i dont want to name here did it. farming a whole shipyard with this exploit in one day. dont have to test it myself. you can sail out in npc boarded ocean. take 1st rate kill mission. board the enemy npc. switch ship and sink your own ship. the loot of your ship will be the loot like it was killed in pvp. Or just normal player loot. If you pve in groups and on of your group sinks he will generate same doubloons like it happen in hostility or other pve events every day. but you can solo do this and exploit it. after you took loot, sail home with the new npc ship. repair and refill crew, sail out again and do the same. its around 8-10 x 3-4k dubs per hour if you are fast. up to 40k doubloons per hour. shouldnt be possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christendom Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 so In theory.... Go out and cap AI 1st rate. Pull kill mission Capture AI ship and sink your own captured ship Get doubloons. Sail back out on newely captured AI ship. Rinse repeat working as intended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erelkivtuadrater Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 might explain why people have several full warehouses full of doubloons and some clans have literally hundreds of pve kills, not judging btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe knowing that the price might fall people start sellling them more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any PVP kill (even suicide) might generate some amount of doubloons (if the original ship at the start of the instance was owned by the player, irrespectively how many hands or bots it had passed). We will review if it should stay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
