Capturejobs for money
Its sometime necessary to do some jobs to get money. Its mostly a boring component of the game. Capturejobs are the most effectiv jobs for getting "fast" money. With them you can can earn 500,000 gold per hour. Here is exactly described, how it works:
- Go into town and looking for news. there you have to click on jobs. now you will see the awailible jobs in town.
- Take capturejobs (max. are 21) and sail about 20nm away from town.
- Now the pirates will spawn somewhere here. (Every town got other ship classes to capture). If the pirates got more crew than you, you have to shoot them down with shatter ammonition.
- After that you can board them one by one. You should use the "Hit & Run"-taktik (take a look at Swordfight).
- After you fenced every pirate (and no fear, if some pirates leaves you before you could fenced them, they will come back. But beware, 21 Jobs can do a lot of damage if all are shooting!), after you got them all, go back to tawn and get you reward.

Kinds of jobs
Jobs represent a good source of income in the "World of Pirates". Depending upon which ingame emphasis each player has, he will choose his jobs. But at beginning i will give a short overview of the possibilities and their effects:
To assume a job you must go into the "city", there click on "city information" and then on "jobs". There you receive a first rough overview of the offered jobs in the city. There are mostly many different jobs of most different kind. Exceptions are the piratesstages and towns and the small landing stages, there are only a few jobs to get. The number of the jobs you can get at one time, depends on your navigation (without bonus of mate). For each 3 points of navigation you can get a further job, up to a maximum of 21 jobs at the same time. Further you need the place for the commodity/persons for the delivery/transport jobs.
With the selection of the jobs you have two possibilities: you can look through the order list or you can click on "job all".
Afterwards you receives a detailierten overview of the kind of jobs and it saves you a long scans to the list. First the smuggling things (letters, packages and persons) come, after that the legal transports in the same order: Letters, packages, persons. Finally the goods dates (particularly interesting if you are trading) follow, then destroying jobs and the capture jobs and in the end the escorting travels.
Kind of job
back
Each kind of job has other emphasis and offers thereby different possibilities. With the delivery jobs (smuggling and legal, also the goods dates) you must always sail from a starting city (is not always equal to the city, in which the job was accepted) to the destination city. You have to read the jobs details at beginning to know (like for letter, person(s), packages or commodity jobs, where to bring it. Some possibilitys are: gouverneur, merchant, port etc. at destiantion city). The different jobs have different requirements. It can concern character values, nation reputaion or ship equipments.
A difference between the smuggling and the legal jobs is, that during the smuggling always Piraten emerge, which want to remove the property. There is mostly a bonus in the case of legal order travels, if one indicated these within the desired time in the goal city. Hereunder applies, the faster the order is settled, the more bonus receives the player.
A further category are the destruction and capture jobs. The player have to attack the pirats to fulfill his part for reward. The searched pirat is surrounded with green clips (but only at first engage). Either it must become at least once fenced (capturejobs) or sunk (destroying jobs).
After fulfilment of the task you recive your reward in the port of the city. With this kind of job you have to consider, that if you accepted 21 jobs, all the pirates (usually) come at the same time to emerge and they will attack you too. To prevent the attacking of the pirates, you should sail a ship which ship class is 2 above the ship classes of the pirates captain which emerge.
The last job category is the escort. You have accompany the ship of the starting port to destination port, speak escort. Pay attention that the ship emerges and set sails at a certain time infront of the starting port. Pirates will emerges on the way to desination port and they will attack you job. They try to destroy the target object by shooting or fenceing, if they make it then your job failed.
Now the question: How to earn at the fastest and most effective the money? The answer depends on the own tradingskill, the job and/or type of ship's class of the job and your navigationskill. At the beginning of a carreer you will earn more money by earning the reward from the job, later you will make more money by selling the ships out of the job instead of actual job reward.
As higher your tradingskill (or it was the Reputation?) is, the more payment you recive for completion of each job-offer. That concerns mostly the capture jobs.
The pirates tavern is an Orbit9 project.
