How to be a KINGPIN! - Tips, Tricks & Guide to help YOU! - Skull and Bones

what is up Pirates of Skull and Bones it is I your Wheelman Alex cornut we're here with part two Advanced tutorial on everything I can show you about Kingpin rank which is in my opinion when the game really starts there is so much to do there is so much to unpack stick with me I'm going to try to just condense it all as much as I can I already shot one of the videos it was 2 hours long I threw everything away we're starting again so let's just go through it together if you are not Kingpin rank yet there's still going to be a lot of good info here because you will get there and you're going to want to know this stuff all right a couple Corrections from my last video I said buy every blueprint you can hesitate on that save your silver you're going to want to use that to fast travel around the map that's an incredible Boon that you really want to have a lot of commodity for and you want to be selling a lot of your res resources to try to keep that silver amount up because honestly I burned through probably more silver just fast traveling than I did uh in anything else in the game and once you hit Kingpin rank that's when all the Really Good Stuff unlocks and you're going to want to have all your uh money for that correction number two I said you can have unlimited missions uh you can take as many missions as you want but you cannot have unlimited you can only track a certain amount in your quest log and so once you have that full you won't be able to take any more on and that's when you'll have to abandon the older contracts or contracts that you don't want to complete so I misspoke on that I want to make it clear that you cannot have just unlimited but there's no penalty to taking the mission and then canceling it later and then coming back and getting it the orange and the blue missions are repeatable and so once a certain time has passed after you've completed that you can go back and do it again and some of those missions you have to do multiple times to get some of the best items in the game which are a certain currency like the uh Beast tooths and you use that to buy like the best hole in the game so there's a lot of different stuff there let's get into it king pit rank I am Kingpin rank 13 there is so much to do with that when you are a Kingpin there's commodity trading there's Pieces Of Eight which is like the hard grind currency that you need to unlock other parts of the map when you get to the Kingpin rank you're going to open your uh refineries and your distilleries and basically it's the way that you generate passive income with your pieces of eight and I'll show you that in a moment so when you get to the dock like I am now there's a new icon that'll show up you can see in the bottom right hand corner it's uh for me it's c that will Fast Travel you to the back room and this is where basically all of your Kingpin dealings are going to be there is so much to unpack here so we're going to go step by step you guys the first thing is your laboratory there's The Distillery at one location the laboratory at the other the laboratory is for Poppy and opium and The Distillery is for white uh rum in this case I've already got a bunch of poppy done so I will take that you will get your poppy seeds and then you will refine them here and then you go and you make deliveries with this to gain Pieces Of Eight so you're basically selling the stuff that you're making and then generating Pieces Of Eight within that there's the order registry there's the supply network and then there's the helm and the Empire overview we're going to start at the overview because honestly that's got the most unpacked so let me get this going here and I'll show you welcome to the helm overview there's a lot to unpack here I'm going to show you clips of different things as we go through this so we're going to bounce around a little bit try to stick with me there's three regions you get the first region automatically the other two you have to purchase they cost 5,000 Pieces Of Eight to unlock the coast of Africa and also the East Indies up here so when you start you're going to be living in this area you get the opportunity to do takeover events they spawn about every 20 minutes there's one that is active right now there's one person doing it so he's guaranteed to win as long as he gets his percentages in the time allotted the Takeover event is PVE SL PVE so that's player versus player and player versus environment you do a plunder mission where you're doing a normal plunder where you blow up the towers you blow up all the ships that come in but it's a race against any other real player that is in there with you so in this case this guy's got an easy clap he's alone cuz I can see that he's one of four there but if there's multiple players you are racing those other players to get to 100% before they do the first player to reach 100% in that takeover wins that location and it becomes one of their other uh areas that they can fund and gain passive uh generation of Pieces Of Eight so the way to maximize that I'm going to show you a clip here in a moment of me doing that you want to kill as many of the PVE ships that spawn as possible as fast as possible the because each time you kill something you're going to get percentage points every time you kill the a tower or do damage to a tower that's percentage points so I've been in those zones doing those takeovers where other players are focused on attacking me I'm really focused on attacking and killing the other ships and I'll win the Zone even though I die a couple times because I was killing more ships than they were and so I don't care if I take a death as long as I get the zone and let me show you a clip of that right now oh he this guy was on the trigger I missed all my shots I'm cracked Cannon oh dude this of course bra more of them fire everything you mine's completed I'm going to come run into head oh yeah dude come and heal me come and heal me well I don't have my heals on oh nice I think I just hope you like the T of come on Captain we want ships to everything you [Music] have they're escaping guess you joined the event guess who just joined the event which means I can just [ __ ] fight against this guy oh let's go dude let's go yo my savior surprise shy all right I'm just going to try to kill all the boats then and just uh get the get the win get the W get the W Master ship soon will see yes it is time up time to break they can get us us it's working dude he's 85% yo we're going to get him yo we are going to get him they are going down soon enough I hope you like yo we got him dude let's go let's go yeah take over successful let's go dude we got it oh we robbed that dude yeah [ __ ] that guy let's go you were ahead of him but it definitely uh made it a lot easier yeah that was that was legit dude that was super legit so once you're a Kingpin and you start working the supply chain this is what the PVP opportunities turn into you've got these different hostile takeovers that are available that you can go and work like there's two guys going after that one there's nobody on that one and there's nobody on that one same up here too so you can kind of pick and choose which ones you want but then as the game progresses you guys as more people become kingpins these are going to be hot spot PVP Arena where we are all killing each other trying to get as many damage points on the base and as NPCs as we can so we can actually capture that and claim it for ourselves uh the end game for this is just like this is going to be great takeover events are pretty wild once you've completed that takeover event that's how you get these locations different takeover events will be for different locations different locations start at different levels like this one uh it starts at level one so I would have to pay Pieces Of Eight to level it up every time this one starts at level two this one starts at level three when those takeover events are generated in the map they'll be more that come up for me in about 11 minutes there's multiple pick ones that are already higher level if you can and go work those because you already start with an advantage it costs 100 pieces of eight to go from level one to level two it costs 200 to go from two to three and then it costs 400 to go from three to four and so if you can get something that's already at level three you've SA saved yourself 300 Pieces Of Eight by just going to that location instead of one of the other ones and then once you have it you'll unlock the other ones and go through it whatever but it might help you a little bit by being a little choosy on what takeover event you complete so once these are funded and they've generated their passive piece of eight they will fill up the bank like this one has you have to sail there to get your Pieces Of Eight once you put those on your ship they don't go right to your bank they stay on your ship you have to sail back to the home base to deposit them so what I like to do is I like to let all of these fill up then do one big loop and then sail back to the home base and deposit all of them and I'm done if you die while you're out and about and that happens all of your pieces are eight will show up in a green chest on your map you need to go loot so you will lose those usually you don't lose your cargo items you only lose your food items and stuff but in this case you do lose those until you go back and pick them up so you want to make sure that you've got a ship that's got some decent armor or a a fast ship that you can break away from the NPCs and I'll show you my ship here in a moment let's talk upgrades in the helm we've gone over all the locations kind of how they work there's leaderboards for all of this which is wild I love that but then there's upgrades that you can do some of these are going to be worth it some of them maybe not really depends on where you're at and they expire for me in 11 days and so at the end of the season these reset so you might want to depend on if you want to actually put your money in that or not if there's a certain weapon you want from the blueprint vendor you might go after that first cuz that'll stay with you forever whereas these are only good for a couple of weeks maybe so in this case um bulk offers is cool it's like I've already got four or five of these already unlocked but increase the amount of materials offered by Supply deals and I'll show you the supply deals here in a moment and then like this one reduces time taken to secure a Helm chest by 10 seconds not not necessarily too bad C people increases the base profits of Manufacturers run by the C people by 4% so you can go through and you have to level these up and depending on which ones you go for they might give you a boon I just grabbed one here that was I gained 10% more um take o over percentage for when I'm dealing damage to ships and stuff in the PVE area so that was worth it for me I really thought that spending the gold for that was going to make it easier for the takeovers so I could race the other guys better more efficiently and when I'm doing 10% uh more on percentage bars and the other guy doesn't have it I've already got the advantage going in so don't sleep on these upgrades pick ones that will work for you they may or may not be worth it depending on where you're at in your gameplay Loop all right let's talk about deliveries let's say you want to make your own deliveries which is a very good way to make Pieces Of Eight you're going to use the supply network and then the order registry so we'll cover the supply network first the supply network is where you're going to get your sugar cane and your poppy which gets refined in your uh Distillery or your Refinery to the final product which you sell so there's some tips here I really want to help you guys out with these roving parties where you can purchase these things you can stack these and so this is where you're going to want to make sure you have enough room in your uh missions that you can take so like this roving deal in La escale you can get 96 poppy for 1,200 silver I can get another 96 poppy for 12200 silver so I can basically do both of those sail to the one location and double up so I'm spending less time sailing I'm not going all over the place so if I was going to go buy these materials I would do both of those at the same time very quickly there's another Supply deal down here where I can get 48 poppy for 600 I can get another 48 for 600 I can also buy sugar cane there and another group of sugar cane so if you do the addition here it's basically 96 and then 96 but you can take all four of those at that one location sale there Buy all of it and you're done and so I would recommend taking like both of those at the same time doing it depositing it and then doing all four of those at the same time doing it and depositing it and you'll see that your unit price is 12.5 everywhere and so there's no discount in this case to going to other locations to buy your resources should you choose to do it that way if you don't want to purchase your resources and you just want to blow stuff up to get them you can do it with the attacks so we tier over here Fort plunder in this location you go plunder that you have to do the get to the very end of that plunder stage and you'll get 300 Poppy the Rogue hunt you go to go here you got to blow up a convoy you'll get 50 here's another Fort plunder um 300 poppy for that location another Rogue hunt let a scale so these are kind of spread out all over the map I have had a situation where I was able to get 900 sugar cane off of one fort location there was basically three um plunders at one fort and I took all three of them went and did it one time and I got all 900 from completing those three missions and so keep an eye out on these check back you know relatively frequently and see if there's multiple at one spot and if there is go you know double whammy there or triple and spend less time plundering and more time getting your resources slow down give yo we got it dude let's go now the question is because I took multiple contracts on that did we get all of them did we get like 1,00 of the sugar cane I think we did I think I just did that's wild that's worth it let's go me that'll help you out a lot so just be a little choosy on which ones of these you do honestly the plunder ones are pretty tough you probably want to do them in a group with another player or two because they are Level 10 11 and they get really spicy and it's it's I found it difficult to do by myself it was a lot better when I had somebody to play with we've got our supplies we've already refined it now you've got them in your inventory this is how to make Pieces Of Eight on your deliveries and there's a current I think it's a glitch or an oversight on the developer part so I don't know when this will be patched but for now utilize this cuz it's pretty awesome so let me show it to you you can make deliveries here based on the materials you have so you'll see in the right hand corner here I've got 1,440 of the rum and I've got uh 52 of the Blue Lotus so you go and deliver these and you get Pieces Of Eight so in this case a delivery would net me 90 that one will get me 95 you'll see both of those are for Lewis so when you take these on the moment you take this Mission you can no longer fast travel my current location on the map I'm up here in the East Indies if I was to deliver down here I would want to fast travel first to the main base that's right there and then come down and make the delivery because it's a lot shorter sale so be aware of your location when you take these on so that way you're not spending a bunch of time wishing you had fast travel abilities if you're going to deliver to Fort Lewis take all the missions that you can to deliver there so I've got plenty of rum for that I've got plenty of Blue Lotus opium for that there's four location or there's four deliveries to that one spot I would just grab all four of those and go deliver now make sure that you are doing the math on how much you have available so in this case it needs 66 rum if I do the other one I need 64 I would need 130 rum in my bank to make both of those deliveries so make sure that you're kind of adding up how much of this it takes that takes 70 that takes 71 okay I need 141 of those uh because if you have 72 you'll see that one you'll be like okay yeah I can take that boom I'll grab it oh yeah cool I'll take that one I can grab it no you've only got enough to complete one of those deliveries not both of them so just make sure you're taking deliveries that actually match what you have in your storage for those resources so you're not taking something you can't actually deliver on save yourself some time and some frustration all right we've got deliveries we've got that all worked out let's talk about the best boats for these type of missions there are multiple ships in the game let me give you a recommendation on what I think is the best for when you're doing these deliveries when you're going and pillaging the map unless you are in a very high pressure situation where you know you're going to be taking a ton of damage it doesn't matter if you're going to need to escape or not you're just there to be a tank without that one specific situ situation which is where in this case you would use the snow because it's got the most health and it's got good brace damage everything else I'm going to highly recommend getting the Brigantine or B Brigantine whatever this one the reason is it's fast with when you're at trim speed it will do 18 with a water bottle it'll do 20 that is faster than all of the NPC ships on the map you're going to be pursued by them when you have cargo of any value so if you got poppy opium uh sugar cane or uh rum or Pieces Of Eight those guys are going to see you and they're going to go after you I've got a clip here let me show you what eight of those guys looks like when they come after you all right we're coming up on the delivery location as you can see we uh the whole world is in Hot Pursuit lots and lots of bad people are after us um but if we can make it in here and dock we will be able to get this off fast boat is best boat uh my brother brother he's been playing this game with me him and I were just talking about it he's Kingpin rank as well and we are all in agreements that fast boat is best boat please please let me please let me dock here I would like to not be in combat I'm not shooting them they're not shooting me we're all tight right we're going to try to take these guys on I guess a little bit oh okay I I kind of expected that because once I die and they disengage I can respawn and go in there pick up my and then just quick deliver all right after that last death I waited I just waited out the timer until it was like 4 seconds left and then I respawned Back at Sea it gave a chance for all of the boats to disappear and kind of despawn so I should be able to grab my materials and then deliver right away and we should be okay crazy so if you are in the slow ship that has a lot of Health they just sit there and blast you and there's nothing you can do about it unless you kill them all first it it's hard to do 8v1 I'm going to be real with you but if you've got this ship and you've got the fastest ship in the game you can outrun them that's the move being able to outrun these guys so you can get where you need to be plus if you've got the fastest ship you are spending less time sailing because you're traversing the map a lot quicker that's worth it when you got to do those big loops and collect all your Pieces Of Eight when you've got to do these Supply runs to and fro if you can go four or five knots faster than the next closest ship you are literally 25% faster than them and that is worth it absolutely so you can cover a lot more ground spend a lot less time doing delivery Courier missions and spend more time doing whatever it is you like so I'm going to recommend that ship for sure when it comes to setting up these ships there's a lot of personal preference on this one let me show you what I run I spent 1,400 pieces of eight and I bought the blueprint which I'll show you where to get it here here from the uh vendor which is over in the tavern and got the fire bombars 3 I think these are one of the strongest weapons in the game DPS is very high you can shoot just voles of this stuff and if you're accurate their AOE circle is very good so you can actually take out two or three ships if they're clumped up and so you're just doing way lots of DPS that's the that's the gun I recommend if you have the level twos run those until you can get the level 3es that's what I did I was very happy with it so on the front the sides and the back I have got all of them fire bombard level 3es now for my auxiliary it made me use that for a mission I actually like to run the healing repair mortar level three I like to play with a partner or with a buddy or two this thing is cracked if everybody in your crew has got a healing mortar they can just shoot a mortar at you right in front of you when you sail through it and they're healing you when you're in these high combat situations you're going to be taking damage like crazy when you're at half health and you've already used your health pack and you're still 20 seconds out before you can use another one your buddy shooting a mortar at you and healing you up half of your health is a godsend it will save you it will keep you going let me show you a little trick for when you are plundering if you have somebody else in your crew so we found a bit of a cool exploit oversight uh my brother umad I'm bad he's trying to do this takeover I'm not a part of this I can't damage those ships or anything they can't damage me the PVP stuff but I can heal because him and I are in the same party and so I can sit here and mortar bomb him and heal him from a distance nothing else is interacting with me and I can kind of keep him alive during his battle with these other members giving my party a leg up on the competition now he died a couple times before I got here and we started working out this but we wanted to just kind of mess with it to see and it's kind of tight like I can just drop bombs in front of him wherever he's at uh he can sail through him or not and uh overall just kind of keep his health up while uh he's going through all this stuff if I had been here when this started instead of showing up late to the party like I did there's a really good chance that he would be way ahead right now because he's not dying as much see see how that works you guys isn't that wild it's such a cool like I'm not sure if it's intentional or not but it's definitely very functional and it uh if you've got a buddy and you guys are doing these takeover events to get your supply chain going this is like the Omega move that's pretty sweet right where if as long as you're not in it you can be healing your buddy and there's nobody that can really do anything to you so that way they can do more damage they have to worry less about health and you can just kind of sit there and heal your partner and that's super sweet so if you're rolling with a crew or with one other person grab the healing mortar I think that's the way to go healing mortar and everything weapons set aside the armor that I'm running is the Bastion level three until I get the next tier up it's doing me solid don't get me wrong I would like better armor but this is all I can afford right now and then when it comes to the furniture I run starboard powder cakes which more on the right side of the ship uh Port is left starboard is right so this does 10% more damage out of the side cannons I've got area of effect 10% more for the bombards and then I've got increased Elemental damage of the bombard so they do more explosive damage and fire damage and then I've got the port side so that's the left 10% more there and then I've also got the scopion station the scopion station is a personal preference but if I'm blasting people way out and I get a critical hit on that I it gives more it gives them the mark status so then I'm doing double damage to those zones like sometimes you'll just get crazy shots and you can do a ton of damage to them I think this is pretty sweet a lot of other people are going to have different preferences they want acceleration or whatever but I would say having out better output damage for both of your sides and then 10 or 19% more for the um damage multiplier of the bombards and then just I don't know it it's personal preference here guys but the AOE I think that's better too so that's what I run it works really well for me I haven't had problems with this um it's what a lot of the guys in my crew are also running so fast ship lots of DPS with good range that's the move we've covered our ships we've covered the plunders we've covered the location we've covered how to get Pieces Of Eight why this is what's up guys when you get into the higher tier ranks Pieces Of Eight is how you buy the best materials you're going to buy it from the manager at either one of the home bases the manager is the person in the tavern it's not the king the pirate king of that area it's the tavern person so in this case they have the black market there's lots of stuff here to be gained a lot of weapons that you would buy from these people but the actual stuff you're looking for you guys is at the bottom it's those blueprints it's what we save for These Blueprints are Omega expensive 2,800 for that one uh this ship is 5K so and some of these uh holes and stuff like these cost hundreds of Pieces Of Eight 2 2400 in the case for that one this one this uses the other currency that I have 110 of which I don't have enough sovereigns or really know how to get those going yet for me to give you guys Insight on that but I know 450 Sovereign seems like a lot when I've only accumulated 110 and I don't even know how I accumulated them so we'll touch on that when I figure that out but for now this is where you buy your blueprints they're very expensive this is where I got my bombard level 3es this is where you can get get Mort level 3es this is where you're going to get your stuff that does the damage and you need to have lots of Pieces Of Eight to do that plus there's really cool other vanity items and stuff in this shop as well so that's the deal you guys that's kind of the endgame gameplay Loop lots of PVP lots of PVE the skill cap gets like the difficulty gets harder it's a lot of fun play with a buddy if you're looking for a buddy join my Discord we got a lot of guys that are playing this right now I really am enjoying the game quite a lot hopefully there's something here that helps you or gives you some insight I know this is more like an educational video and less tips and tricks but you need to know what's going on so you can get the most out of it you guys have a great rest of your day [Music] bye-bye
