So, ye've heard whispers of a captain's own island, a private kingdom in the sea where the goods flow like rum? Mark this well, matey—it's no tall tale. A Private Farm be a plot of land ye can claim for yerself, to produce rare trade goods and craft items found nowhere else in the seven seas. 'Tis a legacy to build, not just a port to visit.
Laying Claim to Your Kingdom
Five islands lie ripe for the taking, each with its own character and bounty. Choose wisely, for while ye can move yer claim later, ye leave all yer hard-built progress behind on the old shore.
- Ascension (16182,5044)
- Saint Lucia (13721,4240)
- Diego Garcia (3315,5004)
- Savaii (8520,5250)
- Unalaska (8695,2401) - Requires the East Bering Sea permit to reach.
Fear not the daily sail; ye can manage the whole operation from the comfort of any bank, though working from afar comes with a small penalty to yer progress.
Developing Your Domain
Once the flag is planted, the real work begins. Ye have four types of land to develop: Farm, Mine, Fishery, and Ranch. Each island has a different allotment of space for these, so pick one that suits yer ambitions.
Each day, ye can "develop" a plot to raise its technology. Click that button until the meter hits 75, and a new facility will be built. Then, use "maintenance" to boost its productivity. If the goods it produces don't suit yer fancy, tear it down and build anew!
The Heart of the Matter: Stock and Goods
To keep yer fields fertile and yer mines productive, ye must stock tools. Up to three items can be placed, and they'll boost the development points ye earn. Let these stocks run dry, and yer yields will slowly wither. Cheap tools can be had in Faro, but for the best boost, seek out the crafts in Gijon.
Once yer facilities are humming, they'll produce trade goods automatically each day, which ye can collect at the island or from a capital bank for a fee. Warehouses hold 15 types of goods, up to 999 of each. But here's the true treasure: some goods be exclusive to certain farms.
- Ascension: Apricot Seeds, Senna, Stone, Marble, Oysters, Coral.
- Savaii: Sisal, Mangosteen, Tyrian Purple, Wool, Peafowl.
- Unalaska: Potatoes, Sugar Beet, Chillies, Sulphur, Silver, Cinnabar, King Salmon.
Exclusive Crafting
The bounty doesn't end with raw goods. On yer own island, the local craftsmen know recipes found nowhere else in the world, for sewing, cooking, and more. And the best part? The port official there will refill yer vigor for free, so ye can craft to yer heart's content.
This be but the overview of the bounty that awaits. If ye hunger for the full chart—every facility slot, development cost, and secret of the trade—then set yer course for the complete guide below.
