Buy Cannonball's or crates

If you are careful and approach some players they might sell/trade you some. give it a try. I take no claim for scallywags that may use that as a pretense to attack you. Just saying, I and my mates tend to be willing for a parle and some side buisness. coin is coin eh?

@jockjammer1 I like trading. I have yet to do it because usually everyone wants to attack lol. But id be down to protect a solo player that just wants to do PVE in exchange for a price that's fair. Like not help them on their voyage obviously because they wanna play solo but i could be on the boat watching their backs.

Travelling around gathering them? It's easy to gather while you travel. As our crew goes by any islands, I unload all my stuff, fire myself at the island, gather, and mermaid back. Or while on a voyage, loot the island you are treasure hunting on. Easy to get supplies, not to mention the mass amounts just floating in the sea as well.
