How to Get Rich Fast in Windrose

A Windrose guide says the fastest way to earn Piastre is to attack rival ships, board disabled targets with Boarding Gear, and loot their cargo.

Sell trade goods, Insignias, and other valuables for cash, and prioritize higher-level ships since they drop better rewards.

Use the money to upgrade your fleet and improve farming efficiency; a specific merchant also sells Guinea for Piastre.

The guide also mentions a side quest reward: the Buccaneer’s Friend Musket.
