Be a Pirate Guides
Start with the beginner guide if you just spawned. If you already have a hull and a chest routine, open the gold or cargo page: those two are where most players lose their first million.
Guides by player task
You just spawned
The tutorial pings an island but does not walk you there.
You keep running out of gold
Three income lines, and they do not pay the same at every stage.
Your ship keeps sinking
Overloading is a mechanic, not a bug.
You want levels out of the way
XP is a side effect of the gold loop.
You cannot get past Abyssal
The black tide is the most repeated question in the comments.
You want a bigger ship
The ladder matters more than the price.
You want the whole route first
Four stages, three pages each.
You are deciding whether to pay
Robux buys multipliers and slots, not gold.
