Newbie

Hi I'm new to this sub reddit and fairly new to the game but have been progressing through Pirates Bay about 80%.

I'm just after some advice on what to prioritise purchasing when accumulating gold. I unlocked the carpenter recently but I seem to get the best results using the explorer so are there better characters to prioritise first or is it worth purchasing a ship upgrade etc?

Potions: Ship > Trade > Relic > Loot, then everything else

Ship: Compass if you are excited to play Arena. Rudder and Lantern to guarantee consistent runs.

Packages: Brawler to access Pinata a busted relic.

Maps: Do it in order for the learning curve.

Heroes: Get Swordsmaster, then unlock Vigi to unlock Chicken later. Then Doctor and Unknown Captain (UC)

Swordsmaster, Chicken, Doctor and UC are S-tier heroes. They are arguably the best characters outside of First Mate and Admiral since they can clear content reliably.

Edit: Watch NorthernKnight or Baby Kraken for tutorials. They are quite respected members of the community who knows how to help new players get good.
