Age of Wind 3 – Tips and Cheats: The Strategy Guide

Age of Wind 3 is a new pirate battle RPG for the iOS platform as well as for browsers. You and your crew crusade around the Caribbean, all the way from Florida to Venezuela, looking for treasure and firing cannon shots at anyone who gets in your way. Read on for some tips and tricks for Age of Wind 3!

You need two things to go on voyages: crew members and rum. Both of them are used up every time you go on an adventure. Rum can be collected from the shop, while crew can be collected from the tavern. It takes time for them to come back though, so when you are running out, go to the tavern and the shop to fill back up.

If the shop and the tavern both run out, you normally have to wait for them to fill back up, or spend trophies in order to make them fill up instantly. You can circumvent both of these (at least on the iOS version of the game) by setting the time ahead on your phone and then going back to the game. One hour or so should do it. Don’t collect yet, though. Then go back to the date and time settings, set the time back to normal, and go back to Age of Wind 3, and all of the extra stuff will still be there.

Battles can get dicey as the game goes on. Properly targeting and evading is 99% of the battle. Stay away from the side of any ships, and focus on defeating one ship at a time. For attacking, aim at the target out in front of the ship as this is the approximate location that they will be in by the time the cannonballs hit.

It can be a little bit difficult to figure out what’s next at any given time. Look at the map and wherever you either see a skull and crossbones or what appears to be a treasure map, that’s where your next location to go to should be. Keep completing quests until Jack Benny is defeated, and then you will unlock the shipyard.

Once you get the shipyard, you can build any ship that you want and add them to your fleet. Let them do their thing, and keep your own battle strategy the same. You can upgrade them separately using only coins – you have to upgrade your own ship the old fashioned way, with gaining levels and earning skill points. If you want to speed up the acquisition of ships, do the same time-lapse cheat that earns more rum and crew members.
