Flavor Text -
The Great Wind is named because of
her unnatural ability to sail under even the
slightest breeze. The wind itself loves her so much
that it assists her at every opportunity.
We’ve now reviewed all five
six-masted Junks from South China Seas, Grand Wind
is arguably the worst of the five. Arguably because
some might consider her ability as better than the
other six-masters, I don’t know who, but someone
might. Yes six cargo spots are awesome for a ship
this size, but you’ll be using those to bolster up
her cannons in most cases, since 4s and 5s are
horrible. In short, if this is your only
six-master, you would probably want to use her, but
if not, she’s trade fodder only.

# Closed Auctions: 2
High Sale Amount: $2.00
Low Sale Amount: $3.75
Average Sale Amount: $2.90
Average EBAY Store Amount: $6.25
Whenever there’s that much disparity
between the Ebay store amount and the closed
auctions, something’s wrong. This piece is just not
all that playable. The Ebay stores think it’s rare
so it must be worth $5.00 or more, but the players
know this ship is worthless in terms of game play.
