Facebook Browser Game Pirates Guide to Pets, Crew and Island

Quick overview on the facebook browser game Pirates. This guide covers the basic information on the pirate game feature.

Note: This guide was posted by LisaPiper of Zynga Forums.

MISSING TREASURE / UPKEEP:
Most items require upkeep. That means that it costs money to get them and to keep them. You need to make sure that your income (from islands) is more than your upkeep. If your finances are in the negative you are losing Gold every hour. The game can take your upkeep out of your Buried Treasure.

BONUS LOOT AND DAVEY JONES POINTS:
You can get bonus loot and other items on the Davey Jones page by using favor points.

Favor points can be bought with real world cash, or you can get them for giving up personal information and completing offers from the “Davey Jones” page. In addition, you are awarded one favor point for each odd number level you reach.

Players can “Loot” from other players. What this means is when you are fighting, you can “steal” loot (handcuffs, snake eyes dice, skull pendants, etc.) from other pirates.

The other pirate, however, does not actually seem to lose this loot.

Some of these looted items are very desirable as they have the highest attack or defense values, but can only be obtained through fighting or plundering and con *not* be bought in the armory….so go FIGHT!

PIRATES 501 CREW:
The game says you can ‘ fight ‘ with 501 crew, but you can have many more than 501 crew on your pirates friends list, this enables you to keep buying special items and islands.

UNABLE TO SEE ENTIRE CREW
This issue is specific to using Internet Explorer and can be solved by downloading a different browser (like Firefox)

PIRATES PETS:
Your pet’s energy and happiness are decreased when other’s fight it. Pets can get you extra gold from plunders, can boost your hourly income, and can take damage for you in fights; ONLY if their health and happiness are above 50%.

ATTACKING PETS:
Many pirates consider attacking another pirate’s pet to be the same or worse than engaging in a sword duel (you can’t suffer any damage and automatically win). They tend to keel haul you multiple times for each time you attack their pet. Surest way to start a long term fight is to attack a pet.

Resources:

The three resources are Wood, Stone, and Iron.
The Mill, Quarry, and Mine produce them.
To gather resources, click the hire button on one of the buildings and select a friend to work there.
Each resource produces at different speeds for different amounts of time.
Wood produces 1 resource every 30 minutes for 12 hours (24 pieces per “session”)
Stone produces 1 resource every hour for 20 hours (20 pieces per session)
Iron produces 1 resource every 3 hours for 30 hours (10 pieces per session)
When you gather resources, you need to put them in storage by clicking the button before they disappear.
When a friend hires you, you get some resources for free, so hire your best friends and encourage them to hire you in return.
