OK, so I followed the advice of MikalSerity and quickly made a stack of money. Someone earlier gave the walkthrough for the Tear main mission. I did it all and then I looked for Vilem Hein.
TWO TIPS:
Vilem Hein: He is always on a galleon (or whatever is the name of the most expensive ship available). But it might be a merchant or battle, not neccesarily a pirate ship. The quickestr way to find him is to go to a port, such as Antalya, and hang round the port engaging every ship that leaves. If he is not on it then retreat from combat. When no more ships appear go north, off the screen, then south back to the port. Everytime you leave the screen more ships are generated randomly. In this way you can engage lots of ships quickly. Eventually you will find him.
Combat: The best way to win is to ram the other ship without taking damage or damaging the other ship. Board it. Kill everyone on board and take their ship. Ships are expensive to repair, but crew can be bought cheaply.
When I engaged Vilem I took too much damage trying to ram and retreatred. Nonetheless I still won. You are then given a mission called 'escare's piece of crap'. The game then conveniently crashes.
It might be conincidence, but I got bored looking for Vilem and called my ship- where are you?. I found him immediately after this. Might help, can't hurt.
lol thanks everyone, this guide is AMAZING. but i have a question and was wondering if anyone could fix it. i reloaded the game after saving it and my main mission went from finding the diamond arc to the dark crystal. help! (P.S. i never visited Banland).
Trade tip: A easy way to make money is to buy plenty of cofee in Taijeng.(Cofee is what they called in the game)Sell them in Mythine, You will get around double the price you bought the cofee. Amber cost alot of money to buy, but most of port don't buy it for alot of price. Silver, glassware, copper, carpet, cotton cloth, and liene cloth is also a good way to make money. Your trading lvl will be high. But most recommanded is cofee trading. Clove is good when start a job to buy good.
[b]Hey I found the dark crystal.. First you have to find the crystal stone. Then the crystal stone will teach you where is the crystal map.. You have to find the crystal stone on ng ship of the pirates... you have to defeat them... The cystal map teaches where is the dark crystal.. you can find the dark crystal. When you go to the edge of banland.. you have to cross the way in of the dark crystal city (it's very hard to cross the way.. and it is not found in the map.. there are many stones blocking the way to go inside the dark crystal city... But you have to cross that stones... And then find the dark crystal.. When you found the dark crystal You have to defeat twenty pirates.. and then give the dark crystal to the village where you started playing.. Then you will have a beautiful lady.. that will love you very much... and then have a s3x...

easy money tip go to De Los Santos buy all the ivory your ship can hold go to the closes port (which is Tanjung Emas)and sell it. if you choose Tanjung Emas buy all the perfume you can hold and sail back to De Los Santos and sell it. For the ivory i sell 500 for 146475 and only buy it for 100500
