Strategy Notes

  • Upgrade costs are fixed and based on base price (they do not scale per level).

  • Upgrading is optional but highly recommended to maximize long-term passive $GOLD generation.

  • Pirate NFTs can be upgraded at any time, even after repairs.

  • No Energy is required for upgrades; Energy is used only for operations.

  • Upgrades apply to the next earning cycle, ensuring efficient compounding and long-term strategy.
