Anyone know if the spinning compass decal is available any where? I just picked up a POTC and it's in really good shape otherwise.

Thanks, I just order a replacement and a back up one.
Can any of the owners help me with the rule set? Is there anything after 4 winds? I've had the game for 2 days now and finally had a chance to play it a decent amount this morning. My first thoughts is I need to set it up a lot harder. I've made it to 4 winds 4 times already today and twice in one game. My settings are giving a pile of extra balls so I'll adjust that which should help, add some pitch and move the outlanes to the widest setting. I really like the shot map on this game and the toys are sterns best.
Quoted from pauloz:Either settings are too easy or you are too good.
I have it pitched at 7.3. All of the settings are still how the game was shipped to me. It looks like everything is set on medium hardness. I got 3 extra ball on that big score which seems like a lot so I'll look through the setting and see how to reduce that. The outlanes are set right in the middle and I'm getting very few outlane drains so I'll open those up. That should make it play much harder.
This is a really good game. Very unique shot layout with killer toys. The super skill shot is really hard but worth a ton of points and feels really good to hit. I also love the heart multiball super jackpot. Nordman layouts are hard to beat.
Quoted from rai:After 4 Winds is Gauntlet

Awesome, thanks for the info. My left orbit switch is not working so I didn't have a chance at Gauntlet. Sounds like it would be really hard to get to even if the orbit was working.
I really like the Davey Jones mode. It's a lot of fun to try to time the shot with the ship constantly moving and 4 balls in play to deal with. the great thing about it is even average players have a chance of getting to it with a little help from the dice. Oddly enough I seem to always have Jack the Monkey left to finish to light 4 winds. It's sort of a dangerous shot so I tend to just avoid it unless it is required for something. That makes the start of 4 winds with JACK flashing to lock in my jackpot scores extra stressfull as I'm just not overly comfortable with that shot.
Quoted from rai:I think Jack can be completed in multi ball like if you stash a ball in the spinner, start one of the Kraken battles and just forget the Kraken and shoot on the Jack shot.
Someone correct me if you can't start Jack when in a MB like Kraken.
You are correct, you can advance towards it and start it during a multi ball. I need to focus on completing it during a MB. I tend to only shoot for the ship, the spinning disc, or the chest during MB.
