Today, we'll take a look at what Pirate Coins are, what you need them for, and what the best ways are to farm them in Lost Ark
Pirate Coins are one of the many different currencies in Lost Ark. As you can easily see from the name,
it is needed for pretty much everything that has to do with water. We can pay merchant ships with Pirate Coins,
but also many merchants on the islands take Pirate Coins as payment. Apart from that,
we can use this currency to further expand our own island, and we also need it for some Mokoko seeds,
for example, to unlock the Song of Resonance. Oh, and of course,
we can also exchange Pirate Coins for other currency.
That's all dandy and nice, but how do we get these shiny coins?
How Can You Quickly Earn Pirate Coins In Lost Ark?
Broadly speaking, there are three methods of getting Pirate Coins: Completing quests, exchanging other currencies, fishing & events.
Completing Quests
Once you reach level 50, you can travel to a bunch of islands where you can complete quests that reward you with Pirate Coins.
There is only one quest on each of the following islands,
so we'll just give you the names of the islands and how many Pirate Coins you can earn here:
Giant Mushroom Island: 2,000 Pirate Coins
Peyto and Glacier Isle: 5,000 Pirate Coins
Runaways Island: 5,000 Pirate Coins
Sublime Island: 6,000 Pirate Coins
Golden Wave Island: 7,000 Pirate Coins
Kalthertz: 8,600 Pirate Coins
Cradle of the Sea Fermata: 9,000 Pirate Coins
Atropos: 10,000 Pirate Coins
Freedom Isle: 15,000 Pirate Coins
Lullaby Island: 16,500 Pirate Coins
Exchange With Other Currencies
You can also exchange other currencies for Pirate Coins.
The Tea and Libra Guild trading ships offer you Pirate Coins in exchange for Voyage Coins,
which you also collect through all sorts of activities. Voyage Coins include Guineas Coins,
Craters Coins, Coin of Arcturus, Ancient Coins, and Solar Coins. Guineas Coins are the least valuable and can be exchanged 1:10 for Pirate Coins,
while Solar Coins are the most valuable and will earn you 20 Pirate Coins per Solar Coin. Here, you can see the exchange rates:
1 Gienah's Coin: 10 Pirate Coins
1 Sceptrum's Coin: 12 Pirate Coins
1 Arcturus Coin: 15 Pirate Coins
1 Ancient Coin: 17 Pirate Coins
1 Sun Coin: 20 Pirate Coins
Fishing & Events
Once you have completed the aforementioned quests, you should check out the other islands,
with smaller quests or random drops from fishing. Neither of which is super lucrative though,
so the most effective way to consistently earn Pirate Coins are events on the sea and the weekly or daily quests.
For the island and your ship, you will need pirate coins. Pirate Coins are one of the many different currencies in Lost Ark.
