I don't think you need all the helpers but it would certainly help! Once you have the warbird ship, sail the ship in waters near the island. Captain Crawfish will come and you must sink him with your cannons! Good luck!
KATIE :P
The average would be about 75-120 trading days. I acquired the last ship, the Phoenix Warbird, in 84 trading days.
it costs 1,000,000 ( one million ) doubloons. that's a lot of money! trade a lot, and EVERY day and it wont be long before you acquire it.
There is no way. There are no shortcuts. The game plays the same way for every user.
Once you have all 5 map pieces, the new island (Skullduggery) appears near the Pirate Outpost. But there is nothing you can do there until you acquire a Phoenix Warbird and defeat Captain Crawfish in battle. Once that is done, return to the governor in Fort Ridley and he will give you the map to the treasure on Skullduggery, and a shovel to dig it up.
Nothing immediately. You need to get the largest ship, the Phoenix warbird, and hire the Shipwright and the Cannoneer. Once you have defeated Captain Crawfish, you can go back to the governor and get the directions to the treasure buried on the small island.
No. You have to raise at least 500,000 doubloons (not including loans) and you can borrow the other 500,000 from the Golden Harbor bank.
You have to defeat ships and sea monsters and pick up the cargo that they leave behind when they sink.
a warship (or the Phoenix) costs 999,000 doubloons.
When you have all of the map pieces from the 5 trading islands, the 6th island (Skullduggery) appears near the Pirate Outpost. You cannot do anything there until you have beaten Captain Crawfish. This will require the largest ship, the Phoenix Warbird, as well as hiring the Shipwright and Cannoneer. Once you have beaten Captain Crawfish, go to see the governor and he will give you the directions to the buried treasure on the hidden island.
No, but it saves time, especially when you need the really big boat (Phoenix Warbird), because you can borrow 500,000 doubloons once you have that many.
Once you have the largest ship (the Phoenix Warbird), and hire the Cannoneer, you can defeat Captain Crawfish. Sail to the sea near Skullduggery to fight him. Once you win, return to Fort Ridley and the Governor will give you the location of the buried treasure (and a special shovel). Dig up the Buried Treasure on Skullduggery Island to win the game.

About 925,000.
