tips, tutorials, and strategies for Puzzle Pirates
Many of the details of Puzzle
Pirates are undocumented, and the social fabric and etiquette is
left entirely to the player to figure out.
This is a tutorial and reference manual aimed at players ranging from
the brand-new, to the experienced folks who are about to rise to the
rank of officer, or who are about to start their own crew. Read the
official documentation
first -- it's useful.
This document is divided into three major sections:
The first section is targeted at new players, the second section at all
players, and the third section at officers and captains.
A full table of contents follows.
