In order to get as much money as you want, fly a flag for a different country, get a free ship or anything else you want, you must go to your pirates of the caribbean character folder. The default location for this folder is C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Pirates of the Caribbean\PROGRAM\Characters Now, go to the file characters_init. Now have fun changing anything you want. Always make a backup of the file first though!

As you can see i changed Nathaniel Hawk name to Bob JR you can also change many other things. I've only changed the skill points, name and the starting money amount. So I have not tested the rest.

Quickly Increase or Decrease Reputation
To quickly increase you reputation, go to any church and offer a donation. But you MUST offer 5000 gold in order for this to work. After you offer the donation, and you are finished talking to the priest, your reputation will go up one level. Now to decrease your reputation, go to the tavern and ask the tavern keeper if he has any jobs for you, he will tell you that someone asked for an escort. Offer to escort him to where ever he needs to go. Now, before you get to where ever you are going, go to the sea interface and fire on the ship that you are escorting. Once you sink it, you reputation will decrease

Muggers Are Scared Of You
If you have been having a problem with the muggers in the forests killing you, or taking you money. All you have to do is decrease your reputation to "Horror of the High Seas". Do this by either working for Santos as an assassin, or sinking a vessel you are escorting. Once your reputation is "Horror of the High Seas", the muggers will still come up to you, but tell them that you will not surrender your gold. And then they will run away. Now if you want to still fight them, attack them while they are running away.

Fast money (hint)
To get quick money First look at your trade book and find a island that has a certain item as a contraband and smuggle that item in by talking to the smuggler in the tavern and tell him u have some items to sell. (hint its easier if u buy the contraband item for an island exporting it to get it cheaper). now go to the place where the smuggler tells u to and sell it to him. now the way to get the money is u WANT to get caught. The guards will come up and talk to u. no matter what u say they will end up fighting u so tell him whatever then RUN! get back to your ship. now when u go to the ship in the bay there will be 2 or 3 ships waiting for u from that country. now these ships are always frigate which if captured will haul u in about 90,000 piece. there easy to capture because all the ships are badly unscrewed the most I have seen one have was 40 guys on the ship. So I take the ships and sell them. (the boat i used for this was a schooner)

Hire an officer for nothing
If you have 3 or more leadership this could work for you. At the tavern where the officers are at. talk to one and say how much are you asking for. then say isn't that too much for you. he will agree and lower down his price.but if he doesn't don't worry keep trying. Also you could them give you money.

Easy Experience
To get some easy experience points simply do the following. First, when you level up, make sure you make STORM NAVIGATOR (or something like that) one of the abilities you pick, as this will reduce storm damage by 40% Then go find a storm. When you enter the storm lower your sails so they take less damage. The longer you stay in the storm, the more experience points you get. Also, if you make EXPERIENCE SHARE one of your abilities, then all of your officers will get experience points as well.

If you run into a group of baddies you think you cannot beat then run away and go past the last point where the game loads and they won't follow you.

Easy Money
Go to any shop and ask to talk with them. An option will appear that asks the owner if he has any supplies that he needs delivered. If you do this with bigger ships you can get at least 30,000 dollars a trip. All you have to do is travel to another island of his choosing and deliver the goods to that islands store. I have 4 battleships and I have gotten up to 190,000 dollars for just one trip.

Easy Money: take two
While ferrying goods between islands is a good way to make a profit, there is another. It depends on your Commerce skill. When hiring an officer, simply talk to him and say that he's charging too much. No matter what he does (lowers his price or says he's worth it) refuse and once again tell him he's charging too much. Persistence pays off, even if it seems he won't lower any further, give it time and he will. You can lower them into the NEGATIVE numbers, and when you hire them they will pay YOU. I've pulled off 200,000 gold on one officer with this trick. NOTE: Your Commerce skill comes into play when they lower their prices, a formula would be CommerceSkill x 100 = lowering price. So if you have a Commerce skill of 1, they will lower it by 100, 2 is 200, 3 is 300, and so forth.

Pirates of the Caribbean
You can add more than one person onto your other 3 ships and all of their scores will stack with that ships captains scores.
There are two different ways to do this
1) On the Open Sea screen (where you can see all of your ships) get close to another of your ships and a swap cargo icon will appear. Go into the swap cargo menu and there is an option to switch captains. Under this option there is a screen that has 4 slots, one of them is the captain of that ship. Click on one of the other 3 and then assign passengers to each one. When you do this the DISAPPEAR from your passenger list. You will need to get more party members at the tavern if you want to fill up all your ships. DON'T sell the ship with the other 3 crewmembers still on it. You will lose anyone that is still on board.
2) The second way to do this is to capture a ship and do it when you assign a captain to the captured ship.

Easy money
Make sure you have a high commerce skill. Then go to the tavern and find an officer that's for hire. Ask him how much he costs and he will tell you a lower price. Then say that's still too much. Then talk to him again and ask him how much he costs. He will now say the second price he offered. Tell him it's too much and he will lower it again. Keep doing this until it goes into the negatives. Basically, he will be giving you money for you to hire him.
