Ahoy everyone,
I'm not sure if posting this is in the right thread but i have got a few comments/questions that i think would help everyone playing PotC:MotS.
I'm currently on level 36 and I have three islands that i can't master because they require LOADS of gems. Am I the only one who's seeing that its very hard to get hold of gems in this game? The only way anyone could obtain gems is only limited to the follwing:
1) purchase online (for real cash)
2) level up (gives you 1 gem)
3) purchase property that generates gems (which also requires a good amount of gems.
4) keep searching the ship wrecks and you might get lucky and find any (which i had 2-3 times)
5) invite friends to join the game and this will give a one time 20 gems bonus. (which is not quite appealing cause its just for the sake of advertising for the game creators, which i don't mind, but they can't make it a mandatory part of the game)
any other ways that i haven't seen until now?
When i first started playing this game, i didn't know that gems is a rare currency in this game, so i kept mastering the quests using the gems (something a lot of other players have fallen into too), and it was too late when i realized the facts around using them.
Also the items that would adequately level up your attacks/defenses are purchased using gems, other items can be purchased with gold, but that can't go forever, you are limited by the number of crew members you have on board, which again is not something you'll like.
The game is pretty interesting but i hoped there were other ways to allow you to complete it.
I also noticed that gifting your crew members doesn't really affect your inventory, but it does increase there's. What i couldn't catch until now, is whether the gifts you receive increase your attack/defense levels or not! i know for sure that when i receive power/health/gold it does add to my inventory.
Looking around for gold in the ship wrecks, i sometimes find gems, and it happened to me that i found two gems on the same day, since i'm not spending any of my gems for the time being; keeping track of my stock; the next day gems count dropped by 2. do gems found in ship wrecks expire by time? i.e. you have to use them directly, otherwise you lose them?
In the Items screen there is a section with special items for sale, and the ALL cost you gems only (the one with the skull) some of them have terms of x number of days. for example if you clicked on the "Special figurehead" item there is a term stating "1 day(s)" what does this mean?
For the mates who mastered the game out there, what is the best strategy one can use in purchasing items?
Last but not least, why would it happen sometimes that i get attacked and beaten by other pirates who are a lot less in attack/defense levels than me, even if i'm on full health?
That was all, sharing my thoughts and questions, if anyone can help out would be much appreciated
(this thread is ment for the mobile app game ..)
