So I have 25,000 gold coins, I'm at Duke, on the bilge rats page of his stuff for sale he has 10 blue coins for sale for $2,500.
I can't seem to buy it... is it rep blocked or something?
Cant buy coins from Duke
@og-shizniticus I think it’s the opposite. You can get $2,500 gold coins for 10 doobloons. You can’t buy doobloons.
@og-shizniticus it's the other way, you only spend Blue Dubloons at Duke, and in this case receive gold coins.
@og-shizniticus It's the other way round - the bilge rats have no need for gold so they sell it for doubloons.
@og-shizniticus Ahoy there!
I'd recommend taking a look at the Bilge Rat Commendations page under the Reputation tab. From there take a look through the Cursed Crews, Forsaken Shores, Festival of the Damned, and Shrouded Spoils pages (unfortunately you cannot still earn doubloons from the previous Bilge Rat adventures).
When you hover over each of the commendations (marked with a doubloon) you'll notice what it takes to complete that challenge and you can see your progress on the left hand side of the screen. If you need some more information on how to complete a specific challenge you can always ask a fellow pirate in game or here on the forums!
Happy Hunting!
@og-shizniticus Look at the commendations, you should have a bunch of tasks to do to earn the coins (usually between 5-50 depending on difficulty/time/rarity). Not all of them give doubloons as those are older commendations that didn't give any. I made a quick visual guide just in case.
Quick note - up in the top right corner is what you've got so far in both gold and doubloons (just beneath your username and title) just in case you have doubloons you didn't know of!1 - open your menu (starts on Resources) and use bumpers buttons (Xbone) or Q and E (PC) to shift to the Reputation tab.Here you'll find the Bilge Rats where you earn Doubloons for certain feats in the game. Select it and it will bring you to screen 2.
2 - From here you have the commendations separated into the Bilge Rat adventures they belong to. To the best of my knowledge only the Forsaken Shores, Festival of the Damned and Shrouded Spoils have doubloons (someone correct me on that, I've completed quite a lot). Select on of them (in my case Shrouded Spoils) and move onto screen 3.
3 - This screen lists all the commendations associated with this adventure. The ones with padlocks on them are yet to be earned and will have a doubloon reward attached to them.
I would advise though not to buy gold with them; as you play, you'll improve and while that instant gold looks tempting it's really easy to earn it through just playing. They also carry over so you save them up to buy future cosmetics that will become available. The only other thing I've bought from Duke besides cosmetics was eleven levels in the Merchant Alliance because I detest those voyages.
P.S The other Companies also have commendations but they earn you bonus reputation with that group rather then Doubloons.
Hope this (long) post helps.
