Poptropica Sailing Trick

Skullduggery Sailing Tip

by

If you’ve been playing a lot of Skullduggery Island and have moved on to some of the bigger and faster ships, then you’ve probably noticed that it gets pretty hard to make quick turns and navigate around. This is especially true down near the rocks surrounding Golden Harbor. The bigger ships move much faster, especially when you have the navigator in your crew, and trying to turn is really difficult. This means less success in battles with pirates and monsters, and a much tougher time trying to pick up salvage.

Fortunately, the answer is really simple: drop anchor! See, when you press the space bar to drop your anchor, your ship’s forward motion comes to an almost immediate stop, but you can still turn. So drop the anchor, turn in the direction you’d like to go, and then press the space bar again to raise the anchor and move. This is much, much better that trying to do wide turns all over the place. Check out this video which shows the difference and how to do it.

I keep running into scullduggery island, and I don’t think your supposed to know where it is when you have a jimmy rigger, but it’s in between golden harbor and pirate outpost and it’s covored with clouds and fog and when you land on it and leave captin crawfish is there and you can’t fight him whith a jimmy rigger and he runs into you and then you …………… … .. ………………….. die :(

:( My ship won’t even move! It’s always stuck in place even when i lift anchor so i can’t complete this island…apart from maybe Astro Knights I think this is the hardest island.

Quick Shadow August 2, 2012 at 1:24 pm

For getting dabloons you should write down the places and what ever has the lowest price there that is what you should buy and with the highest-sell. Eventually it will come together but on one place I think you have to buy something more expensive. You can also look for salvge or you can get a loan but I woudn’t get a loan because you’ll just have to pay it back in like 14 days so loans aren’t recomended.
Hope this helped!
