I started yesterday. I cannot build any structure in freeport, therefore I cannot make a smithy and therefore I cannot make my tools.
So, question
A) How can craft items if I can't build my own base?
I went out trying to find an island to build my base, and discovered the entire square on the map is freeport. I spent two hours floating on my crappy ship to the next closest island. It then told me I couldn't build where in a "lawless zone"
B) How can I tell from looking at the map where I am allowed to build?
Then players told me that all the islands on the map were claimed and I wouldn't find one. I'd have to pay someone rent. I don't even have 1 gold piece yet or have a clue what I am doing...
C) Where can I safely tore my goodies then?
Finally, I get online and google land claims, and it seem it has changed mechanics several times, so I don't even know how they currently work.
D) How do land claims work today?
