The doubloon count does not reflect a "score", but rather a "bank account". When you sell salvage or cargo, the "cash" (doubloons) goes up. When you buy cargo to carry from an island, you spend doubloons, and your "cash" goes down.

If your ship is sunk by a pirate, creature, or other feature (storm, reef, whirlpool), you lose 10% of your total doubloons and either 10% or 13% of the cargo onboard. This means you are often better off buying the next larger ship (or crew) before cannon fights -- you will have less cash to lose (and possibly more cannons to use).

How do you get doubloons to hire a crew on Skullduggery Island?

Earning doubloons involves salvage and trading among the five islands. Once you buy larger ships, you can collect and earn more, especially through the risky business of sinking sea monsters and pirates for their salvage. By the time you have your third ship (usually the Carabelle), you can afford to hire skilled crewmen, who improve the performance of any ship you have.The skilled crewpersons (you pay them a salary only once) :Shipwright (Ship-Shape at Dragon Cove) : 20,000 doubloons to hire -- slowly fixes damage without dockingCargo Master (Willard's Warehouse at Bouffant Bay) : 15,000 doubloons -- increases cargo space of any ship by 50%Navigator (Petey's Pub at Parrot Port) : 12,000 doubloons -- increases ship speedCannoneer (Cannonry atop the Pirate Outpost) : 20,000 doubloons -- increases firing rate of your cannon*You should almost always buy a larger ship when you can afford it. You can skip one or two if you are already earning doubloons at a fast rate. Larger ships are faster, stronger, hold more cargo, and have more cannons.


Whats the best way to get one million doubloons in Skullduggery Island?

Start out searching for the map pieces. Once you found all of them, you have revealed the location of Skullduggery Island. Hold your horses, don't go there just yet. If you get to close, Captain Crawfish will come and all hands better be on deck. Most likely, your ship will get destroyed. Now you know, you need a better boat. Oh, and a better crew. The other 2 are in it only for thrill. SALVAGE. You need salvage. It gives you doubloons and equipment to sell for even more doubloons. Tip: There is always salvage near Parrot Port. Sell the salvage there because nothing there comes cheap. Once you've earn $3,000 buy the Jimmy Rigger. Then, save $299,250 and skip the Carabelle, buy the Sea Sultan. Then buy the Koi for $99,500. Then skipping the Steaming-Fury, buy the Phoenix Warbirdfor $977, 500. Then, earn $67,000 buying your ship a crew, which will be simple with your newest ship. Hope this helps!


How many times do you have to kill captain crawfish on Skullduggery Island?

You never do kill him : he always escapes. When you have the most powerful ship (Phoenix Warbird), the Shipwright and the Cannoneer, sail around the new island, Skullduggery, and the recognizable ship of Captain Crawfish will attack. If you are able to reduce his ship's "health" to zero, he sails away in defeat. Then you can return to Fort Ridley and get the shovel and treasure location.

Does the loan hurt you on poptropica Skullduggery Island?

No, they do not.Most players will not repay their last loan, which can be up to 500,000 doubloons to buy a Phoenix Warbird. Since the only penalty for not repaying an overdue loan is that you cannot buy a larger ship, you would not be affected at all.You should always pay back a loan as soon as you can because you pay 5%interest for every "day" up to 20 days. However, since a "day" only passes when you leave one island and arrive at a different one, you can limit the number of days that pass as well (leave an island, collect salvage, and go back).

How do you get more doubloons fast on Skullduggery Island?

Sea Monsters and PiratesSinking a sea monster or pirate with your cannon is a good way to get a LOT of doubloons, but it is risky unless you are very good at it. You will lose some of your doubloons if you are sunk. Generally, the sea creatures attack at the left of and above Dragon Cove. So once you have 2 or more cannon, you can hunt them there. Note that smaller ships will fill the cargo completely with just one creature. Beware of multiple attacks by creatures and ships.---You normally earn doubloons on Skullduggery Island in two ways.The first is by "salvage" when you come across random floating items in the sea. These are more numerous around sunken ships. Collecting them, however, is not without peril because sea monsters and pirate ships are more likely to attack the longer you spend away from an island. (see above for sinking sea creatures)The second, which is ultimately more important, is by trading among the islands. You buy one of the four types of cargo with your doubloons, then carry them to another island to sell at a higher price. With larger ships, the amount of profit gets substantially larger. You can borrow money from the Golden Harbor Bank, but only an amount equal to your current worth, and it must be paid back with interest.(The only action taken to enforce its repayment is that an overdue loan prevents you from buying a larger ship.)The Circular Trading RouteTravel clockwise around the islands. Except for Parrot Port, one kind of cargo is always cheaper in a port. (The profit on goods from Parrot Port is comparatively small.)Silk is bought cheaply at Dragon Cove (upper left), and sold at nearly double your cost at Bouffant Bay to the right.Medicine is bought cheaply at Bouffant Bay (upper middle) and sold at Parrot Port to the south. There is nothing very cheap at Parrot Port.Grain is bought cheaply at Golden Harbor (lower right) and sold at Pirate Outpost to the left.Spices are bought cheaply at Pirate Outpost (lower left) and sold at Dragon Cove to the far north.


What do you sell at the pirate outpost on Skullduggery Island?

You can sell whatever you want that you may have salvaged or bought. The highest price paid at the pirate outpost is for Grain (which you can buy cheaply at Golden Harbor). At the Pirate Outpost, you can always buy Spice at the cheapest price.


Where is the medicine worth 40 on Skullduggery Island?

The price changes throughout the game, but is practically always the highest at Parrot Port. But it can sell for as little as 32, or as much as 40. The highest price for medicine at Golden Harbor or the Pirate Outpost is between 25 and 35.
