Bilging tutorial that I made for Nargon with my pirate Spookz on Hunter Ocean for the game Yo-ho-ho Puzzle Pirates by Three Rings. This was my first time making a tutorial video, so please excuse the quality.

so which would you say is better: doing this fast or in fewer moves?

@atomicfirepanda In my experience speed seems to be more valuable than the number of moves alone. For example, in carpentry, you can keep the hammer sparkling surprisingly well if you move quickly. With bilging, if you're building donkeys and vegases, it almost doesn't matter how many moves it takes (as long as the number is still within reason).

how many moves can you make before getting booched?

@EscorpiaoDuOuro I couldn't say for sure, and I think it varies based on your experience level. A lot of people seem to focus on the number of moves they are making. I understand that this is technically how the scoring formula works, but I simply pay more attention to the status of the pump (i.e., whether it is yellow/sparkly or not). Donkeys and especially vegases give you such a boost that you usually don't have to worry about the exact number of moves used.

Damn, you're amazing on bilge. I really want to get up to where you are. But I just can't seem to even build Bingos or Sea Donkeys. It's annoying. I guess it's a matter of not know the structure of both of 'em.
Any advice?

@Zephyr2810 I never consciously "build" bingos. I simply grab them if I spot them. I more so build donkeys and vegases, especially since they both require the 3x3 in a horizontal line. So, I always start with the intent to build a donkey and then if it's convenient/possible I "upgrade" it to a vegas. Keep practicing! I'll have a new tutorial out soon.
