Arrr matey!
Welcome to the Pirate Profit Programme!
This has probably come out of left field to many of you. It is an effort to restore piracy to its golden age - and beyond. I want to make donating to the Pirate stockhouse (PSH) not only fun - but better than selling to a player.
But how, ye scurvy dogs may ask? Simple! The PSH is still built on the economy of early Syrnia. It is a bit of a secret, but wood prices were never updated in the PSH. You can still make between 1.5-2.5, maybe higher - gp, per wood donated... Despite the fact that wood only costs 0.8 - 1gp in the modern economy.
Not only this, but the pirate captain has the power to open wood at any time, through tightly controlling brigantine construction.
Do you know what this means? It means that the pirate captain can open wood to people at any time - allowing them to turn 52kgp of wood, into at LEAST 98kgp - or, if they are lucky, 163kgp or higher. That is between 46 and 111kgp of profit!
I will use this to reward donors to the PSH, through this - the Pirate Profit Programme! If it is successful in driving donations of iron, I will consider opening it up to other resources.
When you donate iron or mackerel to the PSH, message me the amount of iron / mackerel in the PSH before your donation then the amount you donated. I will validate it, and if correct, I will credit you with doubloons for each iron / mackerel.
At any time, someone with over 65535 doubloons can request for me to open wood donations, and we can arrange a time for this to happen in secret. This will cost them 65535 doubloons, and allow them to donate 65535 wood - the maximum that can be donated in order to generate a donation reward.
To put it simply, 1 doubloon = 1 wood donation. I will allow the doubloons to be spent once you reach the cap of 65535, but you can continue accumulating beyond the cap if you wish.
If you want me to transfer your doubloons to someone, tell me in a message. Once a transaction is confirmed in this thread, it is final, and both parties need to agree to transact again. Considering each doubloon is worth 1-2gp based on how the dice roll... I am sure you can do some trades.gif)
I will always be curious to hear about how much you have received from your wood donations, so I can post it in this thread... Right, on to the numbers!
(All prices are subject to change. Posts made prior to any changes will use the old prices)
Current prices validated at (dd/mm/yyyy): 4/1/2025
1 doubloon estimated at 1.5gp (theory based on 0.8gp wood cost, 2gp reward; may adjust after enough payout data) (actual doubloon use may return 1.5-2.5gp per wood, we are working on averages here)
Current Doubloon Redemptions
( Doubloons to be removed after the invasion)

P.S.
I strongly recommend that any pirate captain who takes over from me at any point in the future mirrors this thread, and maintains the system. It is powerful, and will support your captaincy moving forward.
