Once you reach the giant tree, turn right and keep your eyes peels for a sign telling you that you are leaving spawn. This is where your adventure begins. From this point on there is no turning back. Every '''unclaimed''' block beyond this point is now breakable.

What's that you say? You want to build a ship? We will get to that in a bit. First you need to find a safe place to produce food and store your valuables. If you fail to do this, you'll a) starve to death on your voyages and b) loose all your treasure if your ship sinks. Every clever pirate has a secure base of operations.

Open your map and compare it with the following picture. I have marked the central landmasses red. You will notice that the live map version is bigger. This is because the world border has been expanded recently. The principle remains the same, however: Get as far away from the central area as you can! This is the area where people can teleport to easily, making it much more likely that you'll be attacked. The land is also heavily settled and claimed not to mention ravaged from years of mining and woodcutting. Land beyond the red border is much nicer.

Make use of /sethome while you travel! Every pirate starts with one home of their choice that can be updated as often as they please. For example, type /sethome e to have a teleport location where you were standing when you typed the command. This can be done anywhere outside of another player's claim. Update your home regularly and you will not loose too much progress when you die. It's a long walk from spawn!

Keep an eye out for other players on the live map. If you see someone heading your way, move away from them! Some pirates use the live map to hunt others. The really annoying ones will drink invisibility potions to avoid being shown on the live map. There's nothing you can do about them at this point...

The really annoying ones will drink invisibility potions to avoid being shown on the live map. There's nothing you can do about them at this point in time... But some day you will have your revenge.
