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.
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.
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.
you can buy it at dragon cove for 1000000 doubloons
You buy all of the larger ships, including the Warbird, at the Shipbuilders on Dragon Cove. You will want to buy other ships as you can afford them, to get doubloons faster. Larger ships mean larger salvage and more cargo space.
He has a Phoenix Warbird. You can buy one just like it to battle him, but it costs 1,000,000 doubloons. Start by buying a small ship and work your way up, because you can earn more doubloons with a larger ship.
You will need to amass your doubloons to buy larger ships, because only the largest, the Phoenix Warbird, stands a chance against Captain Crawfish. (see related question)
All of the ships larger than the raft have cannons, but you need the biggest ship, the Phoenix Warbird, to beat Captain Crawfish. As you can afford each larger ship, trade up to get cargo and doubloons faster.
There is no way. There are no shortcuts. The game plays the same way for every user.
You need at least 500,000 doubloons (not including loans) because you can only borrow as much cash as you currently have -- it does not have to be all in cash at the time. The only restriction on repaying loans is that you cannot buy a larger ship if a loan is overdue. This means that you actually never have to repay the 500,000 you borrow. But it would only take 1 or 2 trips in the Warbird to recover that amount: with the Cargo Master aboard, a Warbird can carry 9000 cargo with a gross value of up to 360,000 doubloons.
You buy your first ship at Dragon Cove when you have 3000 doubloons from salvage and trading. As you accumulate more wealth, buy larger ships and hire the skilled crewmen. In order to beat Captain Crawfish, you need the Phoenix warbird and two skilled crew: the cannoneer (to fire fast enough) and the shipwright (to repair your ship). You actually only need 500,000 doubloons to get the Warbird because the Golden Harbor Bank will loan you the other 500,000 and you really don't ever have to pay it back because you win the island. (see related solution)
You need to buy larger ships as you can afford them, and accumulate enough doubloons to buy a Phoenix Warbird (500,000 and you can borrow another 500,000 from the Golden Harbor bank. You should also hire the Shipwright (Dragon Cove) and Cannoneer (Pirate Outpost). When you have assembled the 5 map pieces, and have your Phoenix Warbird, you can sail near the Pirate Outpost and Captain Crawfish will eventually show up.
You have to get a lot of doubloons to get the Phonix Warbird by beating other ships so you can get a lot of doubloons from them. When you have about 500,000 you can loan another 500,000 from the bank and buy the phonix Warbird and to beat him fast you chase him around skullduggery island and then when your on the side and captain crawfish is on the other and you are anchored then you have to shoot him repeatedly so you can beat him.
