need help with getting money

Definitely has a steep learning curve. I've been playing about 2 months. I figured out that the higher you progress with a faction, the more profitable the voyages become. It won't take long once you get going. If you want someone to show you a couple good voyages send me an invite if you see me online.

Get yourself on YouTube vids my friend.

Loads of tips there on how to maximise gold gain as well as upgrading the individual factions.

Reddit also has advice.

Sorry if they come across as lazy replies, but I am in no way qualified yet to offer you expert advice.

Needless to say I have done loads of research from the sources I mentioned and hope to be gold rich in a week when the PS5 version hits the high seas!
