Skull and Bones The BEST POSSIBLE START for New Players, Best Weapons, Ship Upgrades, And Resources

this is the best possible start to the game  Skull and Bones this guide will allow you to   reach level five with a very powerful ship in Just  2 and 1 half hours allowing you to steamroll the   early main story Quest and bonus content and in  just 5 hours you will have the game knowledge to   be able to get a medium ship and level eight that  is right you will be able to reach all the way to   level eight on your very first day of playing and  this guide will set you up completely now how was   this guide made how was this guide formed and it  is with over one year of experience from a group   of Players called the keepers who were I believe  I'm not sure but they were hired by the company   they were flown out they met with the developers  and their goal their task it was to create a guide   website I believe called the helm and just help  new players and I have extensively studied their   vods their stream vods their videos and have  come up with the best possible routing for the   early game allowing you to level up much faster  than everyone else playing you will be double the   level of everyone else allowing you to easily win  PVP encounters against most casual players this   guide has it all let's get started the very first  thing we're going to do is talk about settings   now the important ones are on the screen here I  will talk about more settings but we're going to   go to options and the first thing we're going  to go is to settings here we're going to go to   game play and what we're going to do is we're  going to scroll all the way down and you'll see   dither sales and combat so when you're in combat  your Sals depending on the size of your ship will   get in the way of your sight uh when you're not  aiming down the cannon so you want to turn this   on so that you can see through your sails so  that you know when the enemy is attacking and   what they're doing and you can see them better  this is very important next up is this game is   loud so we're going to go to audio here at the top  and I would recommend lowering the master volume a   little bit just so you don't blow your eardrums  out now later on once you're more accustomed to   the game what you want to do is you want sound  effect volume as high as possible and everything   else lower so that you can hear when enemy ships  are firing on you so that you can block their   attacks there's another way around this it's kind  of a crutch and I think it's a little bit cheating   and I'm going to talk about that in a bit next  up also in audio scroll down to voice chat and   because it's the beta they have voice chat turned  off uh because it was giving server problems but   you want to make sure that you're not an open mic  I can't change it here but um you used to be able   to make sure that this is set to push to talk  otherwise uh everything that you say if you're in   a party with strangers they can hear like hey Mom  I want some chocolate milk you know just something   stupid and goofy you don't want people to hear  that so make sure it's set to push to talk all   right and uh next up is you want to this is very  important too I'm going to have to hide the I'm   going to move the text over here for a sec you  want to go to interface right up here at the top   okay and then what you want to do is you want to  click customize user interface right here then you   want to turn Behavior icon on and Status effect  icon on so I'm going to show you what that does   real quick because it's very important in the game  before you be able to see this Behavior icon will   float over enemy ships to see if they are hostile  so so here's the enemy ship the broadsider with   the behavior icon on we can see that they have  aggroed us with the red exclamation point this is   very important also for hunting animals without  this you cannot see crocodiles under the water   that are going to bite you next up is the status  effect icon this is if they're on fire flooding   if their Sails are being torn with this off you  have no idea the status of you or other players   you just have to take a guess and you don't want  that you want to be able to see these because   it can make major a huge difference in fights if  you know you're about to blow someone's sails aim   for the sails now they're crippled now they can't  move and if they're about to flood you definitely   want to flood them so make sure that those are  turned on also under interface we are going to   scroll down and turn the mature language filter  off and the reason why we're doing this is not   because we're like you know kids and we like our  cuss words it's because there are certain words   and phrases that people might say in the chat that  are important for gameplay purposes that will just   get censored because this the censoring is off  the charts these days in these games and uh like   the word Oddball was censored in a game I played  and it was literally a game mode within the game   you couldn't say the name of the game mode it was  stupid hey does anyone want to play star star star   star star star like come on guys finally there's  another thing too and that is visual so this is um   an just a just a kind of a gripe here you want  to limit your frame rate because uh sometimes   these modern games might blow out your graphics  card I'm not saying this game will but definitely   put a limit on your frame rate if you are on PC  now this one is somewhat borderline cheating and   I don't approve of it but I'm going to teach you  how to do it anyway so you go to language you go   to subtitle settings okay and what you're going  to do is uh if you want you can turn on uh game   play closed captions and what that does is when  the enemy shoots at you you can see the text so   look right here where it says shots fired you can  even put the distance there so anytime this text   pops up and when you're in combat you just hold  space bar and you block their attacks if there's   like five ships around you and you see this thing  constantly light up on your screen you know when   to block without even looking at your opponent  this thing is absolutely broken in PvP it's again   it's kind of cheating but hey if you if you want  it easy then there you go now before you proceed I   just want to point out that this game there is no  making alternate characters there is no starting   your account over once you play through the start  of the game that's it you can't go and redo it   there is no doovers as far as I know currently  in the beta there's not in the full launch of the   game I doubt that there will be either and because  it is a $60 game if you wanted to experience the   start of the game over again then you're going to  have to buy a new game uh I am using an alternate   account just to film this video because I can't go  back and make a second character so we're going to   go ahead and start the game now welcome to the  tutorial here's some quick tips there's no way   to mess this up you can uh use Q to shoot Rockets  if you want and uh just feel free to go crazy with   your cannons have fun here there is no messing  this up just learn the controls once you are   done with the tutorial what you're going to do  is before you do anything you're going to swim   around this big exploded ship and loot everything  you can you don't need to be wasting time hunting   fish that's a huge time sync but someone else  is hunting fish so I'm just going to loot it why   not but what you want to do is you want to pick up  what is called Contraband and all around this boat   is going to be valuable things like wine and uh I  forget what else but um of course there's just you   know metal scraps and stuff we're going to have  plenty of that later just playing the game but   you just want to sail around and loot stuff until  the game does not let you loot anymore and this is   really going to power up your early game also the  very first Quest has you come out here and loot   this stuff so we're just basically doing the the  starter Quest before the game asks us to so we're   just going to ride around and loot everything we  can and we we're going to fill our inventory full   of Contraband and commodities and uh oh I'm  getting attacked by a shark that's fine it's   totally fine don't worry about it you don't need  to hunt the shark there's really no reason to hunt   the shark right now and uh yeah just go faster  the shark won't hurt you won't hurt you too bad   it barely tickles on the health bar so again just  ride around and collect everything that you can   before going to this undiscovered Little Island  here so these are the items we have explosive   firearms and opulent rum now we do turn in some of  this for a quest and then just come out here and   make sure you Max them out once again because you  don't want to leave this area without maxing them   out it's just free silver so once you've collected  all the loot that the game will allow you're going   to sail to this icon here and you'll see it as  like a golden kind of like sun over Horizon thing   that is main that is a main story Quest icon so  you're going to follow that and the way the game   Flow works for quite a while before you reach the  open World stuff is you're just going to follow   that icon on the compass at the top of the screen  you're going to talk to the NPC that is it's over   their head so this pirate chief officer guy and  uh you're just going to you know go through the   dialogue and do the quests so uh again your your  choices your dialog CH choices do not matter in   this game and so we're going to accept the quest  here and the quest is to break into the ship and   we also got a hunting spear so now we could hunt  fish if we want but we don't need to so now you'll   notice that I've already done the Quest for the  explosive firearms in the opulent rum now I'm   going to turn this in and it's going to take away  six of those from my inventory which I'm going   to go back out and loot six more because we Can  Vendor those later for a good amount of silver so   here we are I'm turning in the quest which gives  me the Crowbar and uh there we go so now we can   return to the Dow and instead of manually walking  to the beach we can hold the Z button which will   just teleport us there and later it will open a  menu allowing you to manage things but once you   are here uh you can go ahead and proceed to this  big crash ship and crack her open but I'm going   to go collect six more rums and explosive Firearms  so you're going to swim right here and then you're   going to use the force open Button which turns on  a little mini game and then here we go you're just   going to left click whenever the Crowbar reaches  the green part and you're going to enter it by   dis embarking and then you're going to follow  the quest objective on your compass which will   lead you to to where you need to go so 54 m in in  this direction and you you can play around with   the Cannons and practice shooting if you're new to  the game uh you can just arm these with infinite   you know cannonballs and blast these explosive  barrels it's kind of fun and uh yeah so we're   just going to uh and you'll see other players  running around to these are actual real players   you can talk with them and stuff so you're just  going to run up here to the door and uh you can   you know read some stuff about the lore if you  want but uh there's really not much to do here   just uh you know Advance the story essentially  now remember when you're in like foot mode you   don't have to walk all the way down the stairs  and get back to the boat you can just hold the Z   button and teleport to your boat there's no reason  to do all that unnecessary walking also more story   deposition which uh if you want to know the story  you'll have to play the game I'm not going to be   showing the story uh so there we go make sure that  you have again you have 12 explosive firearms and   12 opulent rums me we're going and then grab As  Much Junk as you can and it's time to follow the   quest marker out of here into the main game now  you are officially out of tutorial Island out of   the tutorial Zone and the what you're going to be  doing for a while is on your compass there will be   a golden icon if you open your map you'll see this  icon here you're just going to follow that icon   and accept and do those quests I'm going to tell  you whenever there's something different to do   I'm going to help you out with these quests give  you a little bit of basic Poes but I'm not going   to hold your hand so after talking to Scurlock  you're going to then go check your mail because   occasionally you'll just get mailed uh free stuff  I don't know why but what we're going to do is   we're going to click the mail we're going to take  and then you can send it to Cargo and then close   and sometimes there's chests you have to open so  I'm just going to open the inventory and right   now we're good so I'm going to follow that Quest  marker once again to the ship right so that we can   learn about crafting and all of that fun stuff so  go ahead and do that so again any icon that looks   like this is a main story Quest progression you  should all always always take these once you get   to the crafter if you go to craft new items you'll  notice that icon that I've been talking about you   you have to craft these you're going to need them  anyway so just go ahead and craft them by holding   down the space bar button little weird but hey  that's just how the game is programmed so there   we go we did it now looking at the compass there  is no icon so what do you do now now we have to   go gather materials you see here in the top right  of your screen the game is telling you what to do   you can push X close it or X to open it and we  have to acquire aaia so what we're going to do   now and this is something that you need to get  into a good habit of so good habit to get into   you need to start stashing everything that isn't  food ammo or healing you don't want to carry all   your food with you you only want to carry so much  food right now we're we don't have to worry about   food but you're going to hold the Z button you're  going to go to manage cargo this is the fastest   way to do this yes you could walk up to the  the storage lady and do this but what you're   going to do is you're going to flag everything  that isn't a healing kit a repair kit and that   isn't food that you're going to eat so yes I did  do a little fishing just because other people   were doing it for me and I'm going to flag all  of these items by pushing F now that they have   this little uh white triangle over them I'm going  to push spacebar and transfer to Warehouse so the   reason why I'm doing this is because in this game  when you die or if you get killed by an you know   an NPC it doesn't matter you drop everything that  you're carrying in that spot and sometimes the   game might you know crash or something or it's  really hard to find your your dead corpse of a   ship sometimes to loot your stuff back sometimes  the map won't even tell you where you died and   it's just a guessing game so what you want to do  is you always want to get in the habit of stashing   everything so that if you do die uh Technically  when you do die you do not lose ammo and you do   not lose your healing kits you do lose your food  however so shark skins that can also be stored   so there we go uh get in just get into the habit  of constantly doing this all the time every time   you're in town so now it's time to set sail we're  going to hold the Z button and we're going to set   sail this is this allows us to leave the town  and we are in the world now we are in the the   game whoop-de-doo and you'll see that the map is  automatically marked with these acaia trees every   single new if you're playing this on launch day as  soon as the gates open everybody's going to beline   it to this one every single player and it won't  be available because if someone else chops it you   can't chop it so you're going to have to go to one  of these other locations and if that happens just   log out of the game wait 1 minute log back into  the game and then hopefully you should be spawn   into a map where there's not players stealing  all the resources so you're going to go use   your Dow which is the starter ship that we're on  and we're just going to go Harvest some resources   now I do want to point out there is an option to  Auto Harvest and I didn't cover this in settings   because it's really personal choice but by having  that turned off you can gain bonus Resources with   good timing which you should always do because  it more resources is simply better and it's a   lot more resources so you know just get into the  hamit of doing little QuickTime events that's all   and uh I just want to also point out this little  baby ship this is the Dow your first ship it can   get into places that bigger ships can't sometimes  so not All Ships you know can get into certain   zones the Dow lets you go into special zones only  meant for it like the big ships cannot fit through   this tiny little hole they they can't come in here  right uh so feel free to just come in here and uh   they can't bully you they can't Ram you around but  there there is no like non-consensual PVP in this   game to my knowledge so what you're going to do  it's a little hard to tell but uh there's a few   ways and uh I'm going to go ahead and just kill  this gator just uh because why not I actually made   a whole video on my channel on how to properly  hunt these are the starter Gator so they're   really easy to kill but there's a few things what  you can do is you can push the R button for your   spy glass and if you look at things on the on the  shoreline you can see oh that's aaia that's casy   over there and you can just kind of look around  and see where all the resources are and as you   play the game you're going to be able to visually  recognize this so you'll notice that these trees   are a little bit brighter and a little bit more I  don't know saturated than the other trees so I'm   going to harvest it and uh once I push the  F button this little mini game pops up and   you want to click when the arrow is in the green  section it's a I don't know why it reminds me of   like prices right but there you go and the more  times you hit the green the more resources you   get and you want to you want to stock up you want  to stock up on a bunch of trees while you're here   don't like yes the quest is already completed  we only needed eight trees but you're going to   need more later so just take a little bit of time  and chop down the trees so this is how many trees   we get if we don't chop if I just do the yellow  you'll see that I only got one there and uh this   is what you would do if you have Auto Harvest too  so again you can see you really want to go for the   green that was three trees instead of 13 it's a  massive difference if you time it correctly it's   really simple you're a gamer you got this bro now  you don't have to go overboard with harvesting I   got about 65 here that's more than enough uh  actually let's just go ahead and grab a bit   more and then head back to St an whenever you're  ready there's no real Rush uh but uh you know I   did promise 2 and 1 half hours to get level five  which you can totally do you know at this regular   Pace also sometimes there's stuff just floating in  the water like you can see here there's just a log   there and you just push the the loot button and  there you go you uh you don't even have to chop it   down it's already chopped for you once you're done  and back in town go to the ship right and turn in   the quest we're going to just go ahead and turn it  in there we go and this little awkward like stare   while you wait for the menu to close is just so  weird to me little just gazing into each other's   eyes pick up the new quest of course always  pick up the new Quest and again with the awkward stare uh the tension right and then you're going  to craft new items and then you're going to craft   the rammer here here this is a bedar class ship  and you definitely want this this is your first   real ship so we're going to craft that there's  a little celebratory you know everyone's working   hard they build the ship for you you know they're  so Pirates are the nicest people you know in this   game man they they are really cool dudes so now  we have a real ship and we got a bunch of rewards   we got metal we got some planks and you want to  move all cargo to your new ship of course you   absolutely want to do that so there we go now  we get to start the blacksmith Quest and if I   remember right the blacksmith has some of the best  opening dialogue listen listen to this this is so   fun this is great I nor wouldn't give nobody like  you the steam of my on a good day that's dirty   that is so dirty anyway uh so again your your  choices don't matter for dialogue but you're going   to take his quests there we go and again with the  awkward stairs I love it it's so funny oh man all   right and so what we're going to do now is we're  going to craft three coar and and it only wants   you to craft 120 cannon balls well we're going to  craft way more than that so to to do that we're   going to find the cin it's the very first thing  at I want to just teach you some menuing here   at the very top of the screen there are different  types you can click on and then what we want to do   is of course craft the cver now you have to craft  these one at a time so that's one and then there's   little cator little cut scene where they craft it  and then we're going to craft another one there   we go and there's no cut scene for the second  one it's nothing special anymore that's three V   now we're going to go to cannonballs and just uh  we're going to craft uh these are in increments   of 100 so we're just going to craft five so there  we go that is 500 cannonballs you're going to blow   through them like nothing all right and that's the  quest complete now we also got a Furniture item   which I'll talk about in just a sec here once the  uh game is done throwing it in my face and staring   at me awkwardly while uh menus progress they're  just thinking they're just like hm this guy is   like you know he's a good customer or something  I don't know take the next Quest First Blood and   this is where we get to go kill with our new ship  so let me teach you how to arm everything on your   ship this is also very important good habit to get  into you're going to hold the Z button there we go   and then you're going to first off well the game  is already telling me I'm going to manage cargo   this is important and uh we're going now I know  this goes on your ship but you can equip it from   your cargo so I'm going to I'm going to flag that  flag this hide flag the cver the the iron ingots   the planks the metal salvage the wood not the ammo  we have to have the ammo out and uh the food well   I'm going to put that food away I'll keep some  fish on me whatever and then we're going to again   store this in the warehouse get get used to this  I don't want to teach you this every time I do it   I'm just going to expect you to be doing it from  now on so now you're going to go to manage ship   and then you're going to go to weapons which is  zero out of three we're going to click weapons now   this is the bow or the front of the ship you're  going to click a karon and it's going to have a   check mark now you're going to scroll down to the  port or the left side and you're going to click   one of these that does not have the check mark  there we go then you're going to click on the   starboard side and again click the last one that  does not have the check mark you now have cens on   all three sides of your ship you can't fire from  behind on this ship and uh I want you to notice   something this is the most important thing for  your power in this game this game runs on a Gear   score leveling system and if you are three levels  below other player or NPC I believe I'm not 100%   but I believe based on calculations they deal 75%  increased damage to you and you only deal 25% of   your total damage to them I believe that's correct  so let me explain here when you hover over a cver   you're going to see a it it'll say cver 1 in the  bottom left and kind of where my Watermark is and   it there's like a weird icon and it says 15 this  colar is worth 15 gear score now let me just take   off the weapons real quick and show you what's  going on so we have no weapons on our ship our   ship is level one now when I equip a CO Aon you'll  notice that this little bar here is green and it's   inching towards the number two Mark so I put on a  CO Aon and then I put on another coar and look we   are now level we are now a level two ship and then  I go and put on the third coar and that bar grows   even more so that is how leveling Works in this  game is it's based on this gear score on all of   your equipment and there's a lot there's you know  there's weapons there's armor there's Furniture   let's talk about furniture next so I'm going to  click furniture and we only have one Furniture   the Rope locker and this is a purple one this it  doesn't matter what slot you put it on I like to   put them this one on slot one it doesn't matter  but you can see here that our little meter down   here grows because this is a 50 gear score item  and this just lets you accelerate to 300% when   you activate it at full stamina it's just really  nice for it's basically a free Sprint if you it's   if ships could Sprint so here you know the game  would be awkward if we just skipped level two   entirely but we're pretty close to level three we  just need some armor which we're going to get in   a bit from a quest reward so there we go now that  we're done you could change your Cosmetics if you   want that's totally fine whatever you want to look  like is okay but we don't have any armor yet and   you know we're a little vulnerable you can also  change the name to like uh top kek you know that's   my ship's name and you can change it's just it's  just for when other players look at you they'll   like oh that's the top kek ship when they look at  you through the spy glass okay so now that we are   ready to go we're going to set sail and there's a  reason I didn't repair the Dow because we're not   using it anymore unless you hunt later in the  game but you don't need to do that for quite a   while we won't need to do that in the whole video  so there a little cut scene when you leave town   and now we're ready to go so if you push ilm and  open your map you'll see that um it wants us to   go Southwest down here and we're going to sink  to gatherers so we're just going to you know   align our Compass Southwest and go to the quest  objective and kill two gatherers it's really that   simple you're going to get used to doing a lot of  combat here now while we're at it also there's a   Siege Shanty going on uh so I'm going to talk to  you about how ship speed works at the bottom right   you'll see your knots number now there is a little  white arrow that circles around when that arrow is   green that is top speed but when the arrow is red  which means facing north when that arrow is at the   top of the circle it will be red and it looks like  this that means you're fighting against the wind   and you your speed is haved your top speed is  at half whenever this happens but you want the   arrows on the side or behind preferably kind of  on the side like that you'll just have to look   at it sometimes it's faster to to go to an area  not not just point it directly like this because   I'm fighting the wind you want to make sure that  you're kind of zigzagging because it's actually   50% FAS F than just beining it there especially  when in combat you never want to go against the   wind unless you're trying to go slow on purpose  for some reason so that is how to sail your ship   and to further illustrate this I am going 50%  faster going this direction than if I went this   direction and you can just turn and fire and  fight in in in the area it's way more efficient   to travel this way also you know uh right now you  don't have food to really manage your stamina and   when you get bigger ships your stamina bar will  be way higher and more efficient so don't worry   about food until later so the first mission we're  going to destroy compagne gatherer ships so here's   how to identify a compagne gatherer ship you want  to push R for your spy glass and then you're going   to just uh look and that is um let's see that  says it's a gatherer it's a compacting gatherer   so that is our Target so we're going to swing the  ship around and to to turn faster you're going to   push the S button and cut your sails so you're  going to lower your sails so you turn faster   when you're when you have the sails trimmed or all  the way out you turn way slower and so essentially   you're just going to uh you know go fast and not  go so fast when turning it you you'll get used to   it it takes a a few hours but you'll figure it  out I believe in you that's why you're watching   the video you want to learn to get better right so  combat is pretty simple this enemy this guy here   is not our enemy he will not fight us he will not  shoot at us we are completely innocent think of   this like a Grand Theft Auto crime system when we  open fire we we're going to be an enemy to him and   we're going to get a little one star one level now  these little red bags that's a weak point we want   to shoot that we don't we don't want to shoot up  here right now we deal more more damage shooting   here so if I shoot there 721 damage if I shoot up  here at the sails 144 and you want to you want to   do your best to blow these off the side now you  do have a Reload timer here so you want to you see   this little dotted line that's shooting the front  cannons so I can shoot the front cannons now and   also we can get a little little closer and we can  board him you see this little icon with the swords   when that's full you can you can board him but  um it's only limited time also make sure that you   loot everything you kill as soon as that [ __ ]  blows up smash that F key and get to looting now   again you're going to scout more gatherers here  that is a SE people Merchant that is not our   enemy that is not the quest you can kill them if  you want you're a pirate a pirate's life for me   now this means that he's going to become hostile  he is looking at us with his spy glass and he's   got a question mark so he's like like enemy he's  not really sure if we're an enemy or not but he is   looking at us and now he's cool he's chill he he  didn't realize we killed his friend so we're just   going to blast him and uh there we go so we're  going to use crew boarding I'm going to push R   and try to rope the enemy here he's also flooded  so he's dying slowly he's dead and uh if you board   the enemy ship you get slightly more slightly more  loot than normal all right so there we go we have   completed the quest now there is no Hearthstone  there is no teleport home you have to sail all   the way back up here and turn in the quest there  is fast travel when you're in town so what I'm   going to have you do instead is we're going to  go right here uh which is in this little hole   here and we're going to discover this town now and  uh I have it in my note what is this place called   This is called uh let's see uh Verona Falls so  we're going to go in here and we're going to dock   we're going to disembark so we got to sail closer  and if you're in combat you you can't so there we   go it's undiscovered right now but we're going  to disembark this is a Verona Falls and you can   you can see it right here on the map I'll show  you again on the map in a sec so now we're at   Verona Falls now we can fast travel here anytime  also in all of these islands there's a cache you   don't have to go over here and and open it you can  just hold the Z button and then go to manage cargo   and then again we can take these items and again  get used to stashing everything here so we're   just going to stash all of that into the warehouse  we're good to go and we're going we going to open   the the map menu and then we're going to scroll  over to St an and we're going to hold left click   and pay 190 silver to fast travel back we're going  to fast travel here later so getting this now is   important because it will save you time there  we go we fast travel back and now we can turn in   the quest to the blacksmith and get the followup  now I forgot to mention but that island where we   stored stuff at it's it's it's a shared storage  the warehouse is magically linked somehow video   game logic okay so in that first mission we attack  gatherers gatherers aren't really geared to fight   back they can but they're not really meant for  it now we're going to fight skirmishers which are   like a higher level mob that's basically all it is  so we're going to set sail and you can repair your   ship if it's damage uh which is cheaper than the  repair kits to repair from town and we're going to   open our map and we're going to go up here in the  Northeast and we're going to go kill skirmishers   but you might encounter some on the way there and  if you do you don't have to go all the way out uh   also the game is now explaining crew boarding  which I already did if you manage to rope it   it's it's an execute it it finishes the Target off  you get a little bit extra Loot and it's totally   worth doing most of the time unless you're just  speed farming like 10 enemy ships at once later   in the game but we're not going to cover that in  today's video you'll have to subscribe for that   now on the way there there's resources you want  to generally sail along the coastlines don't just   Sail Out in the middle of the ocean so that's Co  this is coconuts right this is food it's a lot of   food and this should be Co oh this is juk so go  ahead and grab the juk uh which I guess is some   sort of grain or Fiber I guess and again I'm just  getting my little icon here in the green section   so that I get bonus you want to get a bunch of  this and again anytime you're going to a quest   objective sail along the coastline so you can get  some resources now those coconuts were already   harvested by another player so I can't get them  but it's totally fine uh again just try to sail   along the coastline there's nothing here for me  to grab but up ahead there is some coconuts yum   and also this is a a wrecked ship uh that's how  you're going to use the the Crowbar to open that   I'm going to show you that now I I love ship  wrecks they are very important for even late   game all right and the reason why is this is how  you make cannonballs this is how you craft repair   kits with the stuff from Salvage ships and it's  good silver it's good silver so we're going to   force it open again this is the Crowbar that you  learn how to do at the start of the tutorial and   we're just going to take everything 335 silver we  got two repair kits uh you got some bombards again   the wood and the nails and all this is all used  constantly throughout the whole game you always   want to be grabbing the these now uh if you over  Farm it you will become over encumbered coconuts   we're over there it's not super important that  uh oh we got more Juke let's grab more Juke again   just be a little loot Goblin and a loot pirate I  guess pirate Goblin man that would be spooky and   uh grab just grab grab everything you can you're  a pirate that's what you're supposed to do you're   supposed to hoard Loot and grab treasure now this  guy is not our Quest objective this SE people guy   he's level one we're level two we can easily  kill this dude we have the ammo for it you're a   pirate feel free to kill and attack everyone they  will forgive you there is not like a permanent   reputation system also you can hold space bar to  brace against enemy attacks that's super important   when you want to block when they shoot at you feel  free and feel encouraged to attack everything that   is not at least three levels above you if it's  three levels above you don't even bother it is   insanely dangerous and you will most likely die  that's just how the game is coded also when you   ram into enemy ships it deals damage to them and  this is a ramming ship so you deal bonus damage to   them by ramming so there we go it's just free loot  and uh here's the thing in the top right corner   there is a wanted level I have a wanted level of  one with the c people but after a little bit and   after not being in combat it will go away and next  like now I'm neutral so next time I swim up next   to a sea people vessel they they're my friend  again they just forgave me I don't know they're   very forgiving the see like all the factions are  very forgiving anyway uh I am sailing away from   the quest objective because I got distracted by  killing that guy but uh you can see some of the   ships in the distance here they're going to be a  little more powerful and you want to avoid them   but uh again uh you get you get a better spy glass  later in the game and it'll let you see further   into the distance so you can identify ships to  avoid but also some ships will fight each other   like this guy is fighting one of these guys and  you can just run in and scoop up the loot they   don't get mad or anything you could also finish  both of them off this is like a free loot it's   kind of like you're playing a full loot mm RPG  which I do play on this channel called albian   and uh it's it's like uh it's like you're ganking  the gankers that's what it kind of feels like like   these dudes are fighting this is free loot you can  sit back and let them Whittle each other down or   you can just run in and gank both of them it's  your choice now if you do gank aot lot of ships   you might be heavily injured and do not feel bad  about using those repair kits these things are the   easiest stuff in the world to acquire I mean this  is a level two one don't worry about it they're   cheap it is way more efficient for your time to  Simply use a healing kit than it is to pay money   to respawn with 25% reduced HP and having you go  retrieve all your crap that you dropped and having   to start like some certain quests over again and  uh once you're done with the quest head back and   make sure that you grab more res hes along the way  I'm just kind of sailing along the ship which I've   I guess I've already cracked it oh oh no we're  going to harvest the J here anyway yeah just   grab as many resources as you can on the way back  and turn in the quest so I can't stop recording   until I finish the Harvest here so you're just  going to have to bear with me while I grab some   J it's almost done there we go the next Quest is  called Dressed to Kill pretty cool Quest name and   what you're going to do is you're going to go  to the Cosmetic area I hate that it makes you   do this I hate that this this is a clest but you  go to the vanity Altier and you're going to buy   two of the cheapest things from this lady so or or  not you can spend some money but you will have to   farm later we are very tight with our money you're  going to go to purchase and equip items and then   just buy whatever you want you buy a new haircut  buy uh you know I just I just uh let's see what we   got here that's 200 and I'm just going to buy that  there we go I hate spending money on cosmetics and   150 for some piercings there we go and now we can  return to the black Smith we only spent 350 that's   like looting one shipwreck that's like blowing up  one ship it's not it's it's just like 30 seconds   of lost time that's that's all it is now I want  to mention that the blacksmith here has a blue   Quest this is uh an optional Quest this is not a  storyline Quest you can technically pick this up   and then just complete it whenever there's no time  limit on it or anything so because you're going to   be killing these compagne ships later you might  as well just pick it up now so you can get the   rewards later but in the meantime you're going to  you know do the main story Quest and you're going   to do these blue side quests later don't worry  about the job board that's all garbage commodity   Trader you can do later the bounty board you're  too low level and undergeared for so don't worry   about those and uh we're going to go up here and  we'll check our mail later don't worry there's   nothing super important right now but we're going  to go to John surlock and continue the main story   Quest once you have this Quest brokered ground  you'll notice Verona Falls that's a familiar name   we're going to just fast travel there and save  a whole lot of time and immediately turn that   quest in that's easy that's done that is super  quick so here we are at Verona Falls and uh we   just talk to this C people Merchant there we go  I don't need to push G and open I guess the game   wants me to open the journal for some reason well  it's not working here okay there we go and then   we're going to do brokered ground and then we're  going to you can accept these little side quests   if you want uh you know just so you have them  and if you happen to be nearby and you want to   do them they're not mandatory for for this um for  for for this video but just pick them up and you   can do them whenever you're bored or on the way  to quests and yeah it's you're all set for the   second part of the main story Quest you're going  to sail North from Verona Falls and there's like   a little river here that you're going to sail and  eventually get to The tambi Foundry as you sail   around you might see Shiny walls this is ore you  want to grab this whenever you get a chance so I'm   going to swing the boat and grab it because it  is if you don't grab it now it's going to be a   pain in the butt later even though this is the  tier one stuff and we're not going to spend a   lot of time in tier one you still want to grab it  just to have it for later because there are random   like little side quests and daily quests and  repeatable quests that may need bog iron so you   just want to hoard everything and there we go we  got nine bog iron that's 1.9 bars it's like five   irons per one bar so again when as we continue uh  you know North and we're going to go through this   little stream here you can attack ships and if  you want to know what they have on them just uh   investigate this guy has cast iron ingots five of  them that's really good so I'm going to kill this   guy and loot it and it's absolutely worth it for  me to kill this dude I'm going to full speed Ram   into the back now when he shines that light he's  firing I'm going to block it with brace and that   fully blocked it look at my health Bar's full  boom big crash we're going to hit them with the   broadsides we're going to try to board him here  we got the board and look at all this loot that   we're about to get I'll try not to skip it for you  there we go we uh we got the five bars that was   the important part this is for later upgrades and  there we go just kill pillage Loot and gather your   way down by the river once you reach The Foundry  you can't dock here but you can interact with them   and you're going to you know turn in this part of  the quest now don't do this now I will tell you   in the video when to be doing this but get into  the habit of doing this later on on your second   and third day and first month of playing anytime  you visit a Foundry a logging Camp a settlement   just buy out their stock of iron you know refined  materials this will save you so much time later   down the line you just want to have you just want  to buy them out like money is you're going to be   a Millionaire on your third day so don't be afraid  to spend money but right now because we're doing a   fastest start guide we're going to save our money  because we need every penny so again I will let   you know when you should be buying things also  uh pick your fights wisely because like places   like this have Tower Defense so if I attack these  ships in front of me I might get killed by towers   and well let's see if uh they're even worth  fighting this is a 2v one bronze ingots yes   please and also fine J absolutely also he's got a  Furniture item these are both really good to kill   so I think I'm going to go ahead and do that also  I just want to point out other players can't hurt   you even if they're shooting at you like this  guy is it's it does nothing like you have to to   consent to PVP in this game and through PVP events  and you're not going to get that this early but if   you see other players attack a ship feel free to  join in because loot is uh it's instant or not in   it's not shared like we both get full loot credit  for killing this thing right so there's if you see   another player doing a raid or a pillage or any  kind of action just join in because you get to   loot it as well you're not sealing from them like  if I loot this little pile here he gets the same   stuff that I just got so uh absolutely very well  worth it if you see a higher leveled player or   just more players he's going to ram me here again  I won't take any damage from this it is you know   it it's it is what it is so keep that in mind and  oh by the way once you cut through the middle here   you're going to go uh Northeast to to this little  area here this is called l lenitra so we're going   to go there and stay along the coastline don't  be floating out here in the ocean stay along the   coast and suck up all of those resources as you  can wood fiber shipwrecks coconuts it does not   matter just even though I'm fighting the wind here  just uh just stay along that coast and you can use   your spy glass to see if there's any resources  like here's some ioko wood uh which it's been   chopped down you can see here that this wood has  already been chopped which is unfortunate cuz we   need a lot of oroko wood and uh we might have  to you know come back later but over here what   do we have anything uh yeah that's a whole lot of  nothing also if you bump into the walls yeah you   do take damage pump a repair kit that they fully  heal you at this stage of the game you're going   to have so many from looting shipwrecks and stuff  so don't be afraid to use them there is no reason   not to use them all right don't be stingy by the  way if you Scout a ship that has a treasure map   you absolutely want to take that that is huge  money and a gear upgrade potentially always   kill ships with the treasure map You Are a Pirate  Treasure is what you're all about so this guy he   has to die and I missed so he's uh I'm just going  to ram into his backside here and uh you know you   get the surprise attack here there we go and uh  try to swivel the ship around a bit let's just get   a few hits there and then board them and there we  go that's free loot I can I can Loot and Scoot we   got a treasure map I actually made a video on how  treasure maps work if you are interested go check   it out now that guy what has he got let's see what  he's got on him and he's got he's got some fine J   that's about I don't really need though I'm not  super big on the Juke and uh you don't want to   be like I'm in right now so I don't want to be  grabbing shipwrecks so I'm just going to flee   from the fight I don't need to fight that guy even  though I could it's just not worth the time just   get used to scouting every ship you fly across  or swim across and loot the good ones now once   you reach this little area here for your quest and  this is called lanitra you're going to talk to the   vendor here to turn in the quest so we're going to  go ahead and talk to him which is uh not working   too well there we go go ahead and just turn that  in now what you want to buy is the following you   want to buy layered scales 2 recipe which uh  let's see uh here we go Demi and Demi Canon 2   there's Demi Canon 2 we're going to buy that and  these are these are called Blueprints and then   layered scales to and now we can craft a better  Cannon and better armor to level up our ship   now we're going to fast travel back to St an here  because it's way more efficient and it's only 260   silver super cheap and then we are going to check  our mail that's right we're going to go and check   our mail because there is loot to be had from the  mailbox so here is the mailbox so we're going to   go ahead and pop that bad boy open and then we are  just going to uh there we go take all that put it   in the cargo for now and again we're going to grab  this mail put it in cargo and now we're going to   do a little Resource Management we're going to  open our menu and uh we have chests here so what   you have to do to open the chest is you just left  click it and click open and look at that we we got   iron husk one and hunting Spears 2 recipe and  then open this chest and there we go we got all   the other um trade tool recipes for level two and  a cian grinder one Furniture now let's see what   else do we have here these are Quest items and  these are treasure maps good stuff we're going to   again do Resource Management I told you I wouldn't  you know tell you every time we do this but this   is one of those times uh equipment like this  can always be put into storage and accessed you   know from there we're going to again store every  single one of these things not ammo and not repair   kits but uh food I'll talk about food in a bit uh  let's see so we got everything flagged up and then   I don't want to remove Mark I want to uh I am in  the wrong menu I have to be in the Z menu wow okay   but we're going to go to manage cargo and then do  what I just did and before anyone makes fun of me   I've been up for 22 hours making these videos  cuz I want to get them out as soon as possible   for you guys so now that we have everything stored  let's talk about coconuts and cooking you probably   got some coconuts you don't have to do this step  but it is just nice and beneficial so just go to   any little cook pot any little cookery here and uh  you already know how to toast coconuts or grilled   coconuts and you're just going to grill all your  coconuts there we go we grilled all the Coconuts   very very cool so uh for now let's continue  questing turn in the quest get the followup   once you've taken all the the follow-up Quest and  you're ready to go we're going to uh do a little   bit of ship management here we're going to go to  manage ship and what we're going to do is we're   going to equip we're going to go to furniture and  we're going to go to tier one here we're going to   equip the scoping station and then we're going to  go to Furniture Slot 2 and equip the uh what is it   called it is called the um bombard grinder which  we won't really be using which um I guess I don't   have it so um we'll just change that to Culver  grinder maybe I type the wrong thing uh anyway   uh so there we go C and grinder is equipped and  that all that does is increase our gear score we   are now level three we are now a level three ship  and I already explained ship mechanics earlier on   how leveling works there we go so now we're going  to uh again we're just going to also you might   have armor at this point you should have armor so  go ahead and equip the iron husk one armor there   we go now level three and a half uh you could also  craft you might have layered scales I have I just   have iron husk I didn't craft layered scales  I didn't bother um also on the sides here for   weapons you can swap out your side ones for the  Demi Cannon one this is just more damage I put   it on my left and uh yeah so my left side is more  DPS now and the right side is more accurate that's   all that is you don't have to do that step it's  it's the same gear score but we're going to Now   set sail and uh we're going to travel Southwest  and we're going to do a plunder and and because   we're level three it is um it's going to be real  easy because most players when they get to this   step in the game they are still level two they  don't have the right weapons they don't have any   armor and before before we do anything I want to  talk a little bit about Inventory management and   uh you know hot keys so this is what I recommend  for your hotkeys I'm going to show you how to do   it right now this is a good time to do it hit  the control button which will pop up a radial   wheel and you'll see here there's a number one  number two number three and number four in this   kind of gray Square not this number we're talking  about the one in the gray Square let's start with   number one we're going to highlight this and then  push not use that's the wrong button okay we're   going to push C to edit and then we're going to  go here and we're going to go to select by pushing   space bar and we're going to put our repair kit  one here uh you could put your repair kit 2os   here uh there it's a 60-second cool down versus 20  second I like repair kit ones for now it's early   game and then number two we're going to go over  here this is food by default we're going to hit   space bar and we're going to select those grilled  coconuts we had earlier or you can select regular   coconuts you don't have to grill them number three  I don't think we have any water in our inventory   uh we do not have water yet so we will do that  at another time and then number four uh we're   we don't have any restoration kits either oh no  we do have some we're going to put that there in   number four so restoration kits just you know  if you're on fire you're flooding there you go   it fixes it it's just really useful to have later  on you're not going to be really using restoration   kits until maybe level four or five but uh with  these hot Keys you're now ready to set sail and   there we go we're going to go again we're just  going to follow the quest marker down here uh to   guerande I don't know how to pronounce this and  we're going to just plunder it and we are more   than geared enough to handle this by the way this  uh little green bar at the bottom middle of your   screen that's your stamina just eat food whenever  it gets low and uh yeah you you'll be totally fine   now before we start plundering we want to kill  any of the ships near here so these are level   three ships we're also level three and it doesn't  matter what they have on them you need to clear   out all the ships around um because they're going  to attack us at some point anyway this is what I   recommend so I'm just going to go ahead and just  blow them up here remember my left side is now a   demi Cannon just like a shotgun it's really nice  and uh again I can fight multiple ships the Demi   Cannon has a very fast reload and yes I'm aware  I'm taking damage it's fine and uh again we can   just attack both of these dudes at once and kill  them go ahead and just uh you know shotgun this   guy again got some more shots there and he's dead  and now we're going to you know just kind of use   the front of our ship to Fire and then use that  part and then we can board them just get them   cleared out and then leave the area so that  you you come back to neutral because we don't   want to be hostile to these guys when we start  our plunder also we got some ale without doing   plunder now here comes a level one ship we might  as well just kill him too and now he's going to   try to Ram us I'm going to hold my space bar to  brace there we go that way I take zero damage I'm   going to slow my ship down to turn around hit him  with a volley there and I again we have over 400   cannonballs we're fine like we don't we don't need  to be stingy with cannonballs go ahead and I way   overshot there I am used to other weapons but uh  again we can just sit here fire at him he's going   to try to Ram us again give him a little shotgun  blast that did nothing and again we just clear out   the area of ships before you start plundering  let's go ahead and board them and I'm going   to skip ahead until we have it cleared out but  you will notice I have a two star or a two skull   wanted level so I'm just going to sail away for a  bit let that go back to neutral turn back around   and uh we want to we we do want to do a plunder  here and it's just quicker and easier to get the   ale we need you could get lucky and um you know  just kill randoms until you find it but uh you   want an abundance of Ale just for later it's way  easier to just plunder it it's guaranteed if you   do so here is how plundering Works you're going to  sail up here and we're going to hold f for plunder   that's going to start a little cut scene where  everyone jumps off and they go grab some Loot   and uh now you can see this guy's running away if  you see that running away icon you don't have to   shoot him because he's going to leave the fight  now you get loot for plundering here and you'll   see at the top that there's a little progression  here and what you have to do is you'll see icons   you you see this little horn icon in the middle  of my screen it looks like a red it's a black horn   with a red background we need to kill that enemy  to proceed to the next plunder so you can't leave   this yellow circle either you're not really  supposed if you leave the yellow circle for 1   minute it fails the mission so you have to kind of  stand here and basically just be a a death turret   and kill you know anything with this little horn  icon and yeah it's it's slow but you got to do it   for loot it's actually very good for loot later  when you can just shoot over walls with mortars   and stuff like like just get into position and  we're just going to blow this ship up also there   was some nice clock there and uh yeah just take  them out make remember we have our Demi cannons   on the left and they have a very fast reload  that's why we picked them like this ship is   already dead in the water essentially right and  wow I missed those shots Please Don't Judge uh   again I am playing with no sleep here all right  so that ship is good as dead so now it's going to   you'll notice at the top we're on the level the  third level of the plunder now this is a 3v one   and remember we're a level three ship this is a  level one ship you can just like Nuke this guy   down look how much damage we do we can remember  we're a ramming ship ramming speed boys and then   borom yeah because boarding well I missed it uh  also make sure that you breach these explosions   you know you don't want to be in them whenever  they go off all right and yes I am missing shots   I know anyway I'm going to skip ahead to when I  kill these dudes all right and once you're done   with the plunder make make sure that you loot now  the way you loot things is based on where your   camera is pointing not where your boat is so if I  look away I can't loot the plunder but if I look   towards the plunder there it is and this works for  all dead ships so what you want to do when there's   a big fight is sweep your camera around you'll  notice that there's just random loot in the water   here just sweep your camera around to make sure  that you've got all the loot so now that we have   19 alss and and we only needed six we can return  home and turn in the quest once you've turned in   the quest and gotten the followup you're not going  to fast travel instead you're going to set sail   and we're going to do a little bit of gathering  while we go towards the quest objective so what   we're going to do is the quest objective is all  the way over here so we're going to cut through   we're going to start from here and we're going to  go west and we're going to cut through the river   once again and we're going to get resources from  the shipwrecks we're going to get the iron we're   going to get uh try to get aoko you want as a lot  of oroko for this next step so I had bad luck in   my playthrough cuz someone had wouldn't harvested  all the oroko but hey there's ships around with   the planks already made so just blast them and it  might actually be faster to do this I have yet to   do any spreadsheet testing but uh yeah just kill  everything with the Roo planks cuz you're going   to need a bunch of them and let's see if we can  get the board there but you get the idea now I   recommend before taking on this next fight because  it is Tech Al kind of like a mini boss that you go   and stash everything at the nearest fast travel  so I'm going to go to lenitra here and I'm just   going to put everything you know in the warehouse  that way if I die I don't lose all of my progress   if the game crashes my internet disconnects or  if I can't find my corpse let's see what does   this guy have bronze ingots and more aoko planks  so I definitely want to blow that guy up but I   my inventory is so close to being overburdened  you don't want to overload your weight capacity   on your ship or you move really slow and it  makes you like you can't run from combat if   that happens you'll just be way too slow and you  can see here that um my weight is like near the   over encumbrance point so I am going to just kind  of relax and not loot stuff until I go and stash   it and then I'm going to go fight the boss and  the boss is really simple it's just a uh it's a   big chase you break his sails and he's powerless  you can sit there and nuke him while you are on   the island storing your Goods you every little  Island Outpost fast travel area except for the   main cities has these Pirates bonfires so run  up to them throw powder it's not a consumable   you literally just throw sand into it it changes  the fire green which it was already green and now   for 20 minutes we have more stamina regeneration  this is pretty useful for traveling around and uh   yeah so now it's time to go fight the uh the  mini boss yeaw once you've defe defeated the   boss you'll get a treasure map and this can be  a little confusing if you're new to the game but   this is essentially the location of it right here  and I'm going to show you on the actual map where   that would be so I stopped here at this is called  Dragon's Back the boss fight was right about here   so it's just Northwest of the boss fight now from  you you probably have this one uh lanitra so if   you follow the coastline All the Way South you're  going to come across a little bump that looks like   this and that's all that's where you need to go  is right there now just a reminder when heading   south to this little bump here you want to ride  along the coastline because you're missing a lot   of resources if you're not here I'm just out in  the middle of the water surrounded by like you   know potential enemies and stuff and yeah I could  be farming them but uh some of these are a little   bit higher level they're a little bit stronger  than what we can do and man the serious music just   kicked in so I must be near like a mini boss or  something once you get to this island you'll have   to dig up a treasure chest it's pretty easy to  find just follow the leftmost path and you'll run   into it eventually it's has a big orange glow now  that we have this fast travel point we can fast   travel back to St and and turn in the Quest for  the next part of the quest you're going to need   to disguise your ship in the comp company's colors  I'm just going to call it company all right so   to do that you're going to go to manage ship and  then you go to ship cosmetics and then you scroll   down to this second little tab here called sales  and you click herold's honor go ahead and click   that make sure there's a check mark and you're all  set that is part of the quest and then we have to   plunder tan Jonah but first we're going to refine  so from the blacksmith you're just going to turn   around and there's the refinery and we're going to  talk to this lady here and it's really simple how   this works go ahead and just skip her dialogue  and the game kind kind of explains it but we're   going to refine items we're going to open the  menu and then everything with the little golden   Hammer icon we're just going to refine it we're  just going to click on this and then Max it out   at 15 yes it costs money and there we go and we  can go ahead and start this one too and then just   refine everything at the blacksmith we're going to  craft a few things we're going to craft the Demi   Canon 2 and we're going to craft two of these bad  boys so go ahead and craft this one and we're not   crafting the flood ones because we don't have the  rank yet so there we go that's one Demi Canon to   and then we're going to craft another one all  right and now we're going to equip them to the   sides so we're going to open the manage ship menu  we're going to go to weapons and then we're going   to go to the the port here and then we're going  to put on that Demi Cannon too and then we're   going to go to starboard and put on demy Cannon  too and then for your bow or bow I recommend the   bombard Cannon now this takes a different type of  ammo and there we go let's just check our armor I   don't think we yeah we have no armor Chang yet now  also while you're here at the blacksmith go ahead   and craft you about 500 more cannonballs there  we go and we're all set now you we can't craft   bombards yet we don't need to we're not going to  be using that many bombards until we're going to   change guns here really soon from here we are  going to open the map and then we're going to   travel back down here to this fast travel Point  Royal burial ground and then from Royal burial   ground we're going to set sail and go north and  do another plunder I'm just going to repair we set   sail skip the cut scene well it load uhoh we got  an extra long loading screen here what's going on   oh I got disconnected now it is time to go north  and we're going to pillage uh I forget the town's   name but it is it's right up here it is called tan  Jona so we're just going to go pillage that pretty   simple stuff once you've completed the plundering  go back to Royal burial ground because this is the   closest fast travel and then we're going to fast  travel to St an so that uh we can turn it in of   course there we go now is another good time to  check your mail and collect all the loot from   the mail once you've gotten the quest and you've  sorted your cargo of course you're going to go   to manage ship and we're going to change our  furniture around we're going to use the signal   gong and for the second one we are going to use  the uh sterile Galley one which uh I don't seem to   have so U just continue using the Culver one then  I guess in my previous testing uh it was a random   drop it's not a big deal it's just a tiny little  percent difference and then we are going to fast   travel back to where we were here at the Royal  burial ground because we're going to be sailing   Southwest Gathering along the way and also we're  going to do a little bit of shopping at one of I   don't want to fast travel again uh at one of the  uh little settlements so this one's pretty simple   just Scout the ships and when they have a ferah  AI on them you just blow them up very easy as you   sail along the coast because you're going to be  turning in a quest here you're going to come up   uh to the settlement called hovo hovo and you're  going to make a purchase here which um I have to   wait because uh the game won't prompt me to open  the menu for some reason and here is what you're   going to buy you're going to buy six of the fine  jute which is all of them that you're allowed to   buy uh the bronze ingots you're going to buy all  of those and then the aoko planks so yeah you're   spending a little bit of money here but it will  pay off later once you you are here at for to LS   or Louise what however you want to say it turn  in the quest here we go we'll just talk to this   guy here done and he's just chilling while we  stand there and we just stare in each other's   eyes longingly as pirates tend to do a good deal  yes a good deal all right and then you're going to   fast travel to sa and and then turn in the quest  there unsettling grip at this point in the game   you're going to see the message wait for Scurlock  to devise a to recover his lost shipment you have   it's like 30 minutes to an hour of free time at  this point until you can continue the main story   Quest so what we're going to do is go gather  materials to craft the bigger ships so at this   point we're going to fast travel back to the Royal  burial grounds and then we're going to sail west   after stashing all the goods and managing cargo  and all that stuff at this point you're going   to sail from Royal burial ground Southwest about  about where my cursor is right over here there is   a fast travel Point called uh mother of shipwrecks  and here it is explored so here is Royal burial   ground there's like a little island and then  there's an island here so you just sell in between   those two islands and you will reach the mother  of shipwrecks we're just going to disembark here   so that we get the Fast Travel point for later and  then we're going to continue West from here you're   going to sail Northwest about right in herish and  uh here is a kill list everything that you every   ship you encounter as you sail Northwest kill any  ships carrying this loot because we need a lot of   it also if you see piles of stuff these could be  dead players loot look at all this stuff holy crap   this is someone died out here and uh there we go  I guess I got a little bit of it I guess you don't   really get all of it but man it's like what was  going on there you saw it I have that recorded but   yeah um as we go uh you know Northwest just Scout  the ships here let's see what this one has he's   got treasure map so we're definitely killing him  but he didn't have anything on our kill list and   that is a skull level enemy level seven we can't  kill that we're going to avoid that completely   so here is K Mangrove it is right here on the  map in this little cluster and you can see it   is Northwest of uh mother of shipwrecks it is not  up here where loord Weaver is it's a little bit   further west while you are here you're going to  buy from the vendor La fores one the blueprints so   let's see La forterus one go ahead and buy that  armor blueprint and there we go and now we're   going to go ahead and uh fast travel back to St  an and upgrade our armor because we need to farm   higher level ships if you've been killing ships  along the way you'll notice they're pretty tough   and our we're only level three they're level six  that's not fair that means we're dealing 75% less   damage than we should so it's time for an armor  upgrade and we're going to go to the blacksmith   here and you'll notice that armor we just bought  La for ter S one well we don't have nickel sisle   or teak planks but we do have the other stuff  for layered scales too and so that is what we   are going to craft is layered scales 2 and let's  go ahead and just pop that in there we go and now   when we upgrade our ship in the menu here we go  to manage ship and armor we can slap on layered   scales pushing us above to level four congrats  your level four also now is a good time to cook   more of those toasted coconuts if you've been  munching on them so just maxed out 164 toasted   coconuts and uh that's how many I harvested  you might have more just cook them all now you   don't want to carry around 200 of these obviously  because if you die you lose all of them so we're   going to transfer you know a good chunk I don't  know we'll transfer 100 to the warehouse leaving   us 94 that's plenty to eat and now we're going to  fast travel back to K Mangrove and we're going to   farm for a while so it is again right here I  I zoomed way out in the wrong spot and we're   going to sail Northwest and we're going to to be  farming we're going to be harvesting we're going   to be pillaging the shipwrecks we are going to be  killing the ships mainly that's our main thing let   make sure you're repaired and then set sail and  again we're just going to go Northwest and farm   ships until our Quest our main story Quest is  ready to go so if I push X you'll see speak   to Scurlock to learn how he plans to recover his  lost shipment so because I'm taking long breaks in   between recording this um it's already ready but  for you if you are following along uh you're going   to you're still going to want to do this anyway  even if Scurlock is ready to go because we want   those upgrades so I'm going to sail Northwest and  I'm just going to farm ships and harvest things   and that's all I'm going to do for a little while  now you probably will die at this point but just   respawn at C don't respawn at the dock and go  get your loot back just pick up your loot now   the first thing you do when you die is you want  to open your map and then you want to zoom in on   your shipwreck very quickly and you want to Ping  it or you want to mark it with right click and   there you go so we know that's where we die that  golden glowing pillar and you just want to spam   your F key and uh f f for uh to to pay respects no  F to loot and see this ship is the one that killed   me I'm getting shot by the towers it's shooting  the towers there's a lot really going on in this   area but uh you know the loot is absolutely worth  it at this point and unless you're playing some   sort of solo self found hardcore you know mode  which you can't really do cuz you can't delete   your character there isn't a character to delete  uh you you really do need to just farm this whole   area now speaking of farming this area I'm going  to go ahead and loot all this too and uh I'm   getting bombed by somebody here so let's move out  of that Circle turn now in this little this little   town here assuming it's not hostile which it is  right now so I can't really buy from it but when   it's not hostile uh you want to buy Six of every  ingredient from them so I'm going to sail away so   that a little more peaceful after blowing up these  ships probably and yeah these guys are a little   higher leveled let's see F linen got to kill them  again just just massively farm this Zone you're   going to need to farm it for a little while and  it's going to pay dividends later so like these   guys melt pretty quick so just uh just blast into  them crew boarding you know that's extra loot if   we manage to do it I know I'm kind of all over the  place here but again just keep farming this area   he he flooded to death as you travel North you're  going to come across the LA colony and you're   going to buy basically six of everything so six  fine hemp there we go uh six of the ingots and six   of the mopane planks if you've been doing a lot  of farming you can also buy a wood tar um but you   can get these from the ships also remember you uh  need to get all the teak wood that you can this is   necessary for some of the upgrade so don't skimp  on this a lot of players will be here harvesting   this and uh if you go further north you will find  ships carrying it but it they're a lot harder to   find than it is than than to just Harvest it so  if you get here early enough it should be all   yours if not come back in the dead hours you know  whenever people are asleep during a weekday and   then chop it up now once you go Upstream enough  you're going to come to this area and you want to   go west not East but you can go east a bit to get  get some some of the teak and a few of the other   resources if you want to but you need to go west  now when you get to this point on the map which   uh you know we went West through this stream this  is I believe I forget what it's called it's it's   golden something I am really overburdened here  because I am just just full of loot right now so   we're going to disembark and store it I think it's  called gold something let's see what it's called   it's it's been a while sunken gold mine so when  you're here this is a great place to fast travel   to if you want to harvest resources like the  nickel and the hemp and uh what is this the te   and whereas just south of it there's another fast  travel where you can get you know plenty of linen   and you can get uh all the other metals and not  teak but you you basically you're just in between   two different types of resources and plenty of  farmable ships so you can do all your mid-tier   upgrades right here oh and in case earlier you  were worried about bombard ammo well when you're   killing the ships they're giving you bombard  ammo so you're going to have again you just   have infinite ammo as long as you're killing ships  so once like I said once um Scurlock is ready to   go that's whenever you have these two fast travel  points sunken gold mine and uh the the C Mangrove   Mangrove go ahead and fast travel back to St an  and start scurlock's next Quest you don't need   an UPG ship or worry about your rank right now  because we're going to be piloting his ship which   is a level 9 ship and we're going to be attacking  a fortification it's a lot of fun you get to play   with a pretty powerful ship almost as strong as  the one you know at the very start of the game   that you had and uh this will get you ranked up to  be uh able to upgrade to the next ship if you're   having trouble finding scurlock's jacket so what  you do is on the left here you hover over torso   and then on the very top row it is the fourth  one from the left or the second one from the   right called scurlock's jacket it's right here so  just go ahead and click that and that will let you   advance the quest so for this Mission you actually  get to plunder a fort and forts are a little   different than just regular settlements fors have  more Towers more enemies more dangerous enemies uh   more higher bigger swarms of enemies there's a lot  to do you got to break walls so just have fun with   it don't be afraid to spin your ammo cuz it's not  your ammo it's scurlock's ammo so just Blast away   also your Q button hey remember your Q button from  the tutorial you can now cast mortars so again   just spin in a circle and nuke every single thing  and just have fun at the big red crit numbers once   you've stashed all the Epic Loot from that Quest  you're going to again grab all the follow-ups of   course but we are going to now fast travel back  to uh K man uh Mangrove not grove Grove and we're   going to buy the barge blueprint now you might  have been able to buy this earlier but in order   to get everyone in line depending on how much you  grinded or Not by doing the main story Quest you   will be at this rank no matter what and you will  be able to buy the barge ship blueprint for 4,950   silver so we're going to go ahead and buy that now  at this point you need at least 5,100 total silver   which I have plenty because I've been grinding  my butt off killing ships but you may not have   done that so what you need to do if you don't have  5,100 silver is it's time to sell Commodities so   you're going to go to manage cargo and then you're  going to sort your category uh by uh Commodities   and you're going to sell these things until you  have at least 5,000 100 silver and then we can   proceed to The Next Step which is we need a little  bit more ingredients so from here we're just going   to go a little bit north to L colony and we're  going to buy six more hemp ingots and uh the the   wood now what you'll need to do is depending  on how hard you farmed you might have to farm   ORS ready to craft the barge to check if you are  ready push mm open your map push G for Journal   click this very last question mark Tab and then  scroll down on blueprints to barge so here you   can see that I have plenty of hemp uh just enough  planks plenty of ingots and linen and silver so   I am ready to craft the barge that means I can  return here to C Mano and then I can fast travel   from there and oh man there's so much stuff open  on the map here travel back to St an and we can   go to the ship right and craft it once you are at  the ship right the ship that you want right here   is the fire brand this is the barge class and yes  it's still a small ship don't worry you will be   able to upgrade to this bad boy the Bombadier  the pada Kang uh in just another 2 and 1 half   hours and uh it's the exact same thing we did we  just go farm and uh we're going to upgrade right   now to Firebrand this thing is a huge upgrade so  here it is we're going to craft it and TAA now the   next uh storyline missions will be incredibly easy  now what again what you want to do once you craft   this don't be clicking the screen and you know  trying to skip stuff make sure that you move all   cargo to new ship and there we go here is how  you're going to weaponize your new ship you're   going to go to weapons and then what you're going  to do is you're going to do flooding demic cannon   on the front here and flooding Demi Cannon one  on the back and then on the left sides you're   going to just do Demi Cannon 2 which uh let's see  do we have yeah Demi Cannon twos so on the left   and right side it'll tell you a warning because  you you have it equipped on another ship that's   that's fine and then we're going to apply armor  to this bad boy and Furniture of course so we're   going to just go to armor and pick the highest one  we have the layered scales too go ahead and slap   that bad boy on and then Furniture we'll finish it  up so again Furniture we're going to slap on the   gong uh on slot one slot two uh you can just put  on whatever you have whatever you think might be   useful uh so in this in this case uh I think I'll  do tool Smithy cuz Gathering is not nice and uh   let's see yeah we don't really have anything too  useful yet right now but we're just doing it for   the gear score so put you want something on and  Tada you are now level five in 2 and 1/2 hours you   are level five you are ready to go kick some butt  this ship is busting dude this ship is absolutely   brutal and uh it's only another 2 and 1/2 hours to  get to level eight with a medium-sized bombarder   now the reason why I had you follow this rounde  is because at this exact point in the story where   you are supposed to go all the way up here and  farm Ivory these guys get pretty tough the waters   are pretty brutal there's a whole lot going on  here in the middle of the map if you ever want   to go to the top right of the map it's absolutely  brutal as well and you do have to go up here to   get yourself that Bombadier which again it's only  2 and 1 half hours away um so what you're going to   do now this is what you are going to prioritize  for the next two and 1 half hours you're going   to smash through scurlock's main story quests  you're just going to to do all of it there's not   much left to do and one of them is a boss fight  but your ship that you have now with the Cannons   you have now can absolutely devastate everything  in the quest also if you if you're bored and you   want to do some plundering you will want to take  off those Demi cannons and put on regular CN long   cannons or bombadiers because Demi cannons don't  do much damage to um to towers that are far away   next up you want to farm the materials for pada  Bombadier which you can go to the ship rides you   can track the materials needed which most of  them are all in the top right and do the same   thing you go to a fat you go to a settlement you  get make sure that it has a fast travel by you   know going into it and then you just Farm the  ships around it and if you die you respawn you   go pick up your loot and you continue farming  and you just rinse and repeat that's the game   Loop is just upgrading your ship killing more  stuff doing quests unlocking blueprints that's   the name of the game I've got you fully set up by  now you you know how Gathering works you know how   Quest progression works you know how upgrades work  you are all set I don't have to hold your hand the   training wheels are coming off you're riding that  bicycle into the sunset and by bicycle I mean your   brand new level five ship everyone around you is  going to be like level two or three still I know   I was when I was around these keeper dudes that's  why I had to you know Rush this video out so that   you guys can be just as powerful as them who have  spent a whole year mastering this craft and um by   the way the pada King Bombadier is a explosion  Fire Ship so you definitely want to get those   fire bombard 2 cannons and the coolest thing about  the fire bombard 2 cannons is that they are the   easiest ones to craft they are the cheapest ones  to craft let's see if I can find it here um okay   that is uh no that's not it let's see Bombadier  enhanced Bombadier uh fire Bombadier 2o now I do   need brigand one but um yeah they these things are  just juicy I know I have got text on the screen   covering it up but uh yeah these things like  you'll be Brin by the time you finish um the quest   line here like brigin I think it might be next  I forget uh let's see Buccaneer 2 I don't know   what that is but um yeah there you go that's the  progression go have fun your very first day you're   going to be ahead of all your friends if you have  any and um I just I just want to let you guys know   that I'm going to be making guide videos for this  game and thank you to is it Ubisoft or Ubisoft   I don't
