Uses of Pirate Coins
While you are sailing the seas of Arkesia, Pirate coins is the most useful currency like gold or silver. Because you can use them to upgrade your armada of ships and crew. You can also use them to trade with Merchant ships on the open sea to buy rare valuable things. Like Song of Resonance, you need it to unlock important special locations and objectives.

So you need to farm Pirate coins as many as possible, but it is not as easy as obtaining the other currencies like gold Lost Ark or silver. You have to look for them in the correct ways.
