Pirate
To play as a Captain you need to buy at least one pirate.
When playing as Captain, you are ensured to get a reward for every treasure found during a hunt.
You can gradually improve your crew (add ship, more pirates, items) to increase your count and amount of rewards.

Thief
Thief mode is the free to play mode of the game.
You can earn gold without buying anything, however the odds to find gold highly depend on how much rewards were unclaimed by other players.
