    The Golden Dubloon

    The Golden Dubloon is found on Krawk Island (or here) and accepts only Dubloons.
    Getting in isnt so easy because only 100 people can enter at a time. (though more than that is shown when you try to get it).
    The main reason why the Golden Dubloon is famous is because oncle you buy something for say 2 dubloons and pay for it a larger denomination say 10 dubloons, you get your change in smaller denominations. Now if you didnt know, 2 one dubloon coins are more profitable than a two dubloon coin.
    I goa 100 Dubloon Coin from the auction for 100 k and broke it into one dubloon at the Golden Dubloon and sold 89 for 2750 NP. So total: 244750. Profit: 144750 NP.
    Another thing about the Golden Dubloon is that if you buy something from each menu then you have a chance of taking your food to your inventory and being Gourmet Food, you can sell it for a good amount of NP or feed it to your pets. There is a high score chart and trophy for most Gourmet Food eaten.

    The lowest amount you can buy from each menu is 8 dubloons and is highlighted in red. Except for Cocktails where everything except the last is the cheapest.

    Nice guide!
    Is there a limit on how much you can buy in a day?

    Uhh.. I broke the 100 dubloon coin and got a 50, two 20s, one 5 and two 2 dubloon coins. The overall profit after selling those was a bit under 10k. Should I have bought more with the smaller dubloons and broken them to smaller pieces, or is there a way to determine how small dubloons you get?

    I don't think you can, only 1/day.
    Well, it almost impossible to get in there the first time already (for me)
    i tried to get it again once, but never manage to.

    that's a good idea, to train your pet, its much cheaper, if you break the coin there.

    I had no idea such a thing existed!

    So If I go in there with a 100 dubloon coin and buy Tropical Breeze I can get change of 99 one dubloon coins?

    that's right, so it's much cheaper when you break the coins and use it to train your pet, or profit if resell

    so how exactly did you get 89 one dubloon coins from that 100 dubloon coin? i can't figure it out. it seems like it would take forever to do at one item a day.

    Can someone make a list of how to get certain dubloons?

    Im interested in using the golden dubloon to hawk my way to training my pets for cheaper.
    What If I have a 50 and buy the 1 dubloon?
    20 for the 1?
    10 for the 1?

    And so on possibly going
    50 for 2?
    20 for 2?

    Why is it so hard? Is it 100 people who can get in per day or at one time? If its at one time then I can just log on at an hour where there would be less people.

    At one time
    There are also international players, so Neopets has many players 24/7

    Very cool idea, I doubt I could ever make it in though. Do you just refresh or something till you get in?

    Carletto: Your strat is full of win. :bugs Zer0 and expon to make the prog for him:

    Check that out Zer0, you weren't the only one asked ha!

    Well, the easy answer it update your pricing.. make each around 200nps higher and you'll get an extra $1200. I would also suggest bidding on auctions, visiting the shrine etc to increase your cost/profit ratio, and dubloon stock. Overall I'm not a big dubloon fan accept for in one area hehe.

    Why not use the dubloons..? That strat = win if not for training..

    I also cannot seem to figure out how he managed to break one 100 into eighty-nine 1's. Could the thread starter or someone who is smarter than me explain how he did it?

    50s break to 20s n 10s

    20s to 10s

    10s to 5s

    5s to 1s
