@@Phycofeeds sorry I am just seeing this now, world events are your best friend. I would recommend slooping with a friend for ashen winds events or ghost fleets!
@@Phycofeeds I got a way but you have to be merchant 40 you can also do this with any faction did it yesterday with order of souls went from 54 to 80 in 1 hour
Very clever, reminds me of the original "Merchant Shuffle" back in 2018. Merchants will always find a way to break the game and reduce that grind and I am here for it.
What a wonderful video! Informative, fun to watch, well edited - all of that from a really new channel :D I can see you growing, and growing FAST, specially with your personality and strategies like this one. I plan, from now on, to be here, watching your journey from afar. Good luck, pirate, and may the wind blow in your favour o7
To avoid the quest beginning screen you can vote up a tall tale 6 times in between the cargo runs Another thing I'd say: there is a limit how long you can stack and thats the time limit for the cargo runs. You can collect round about 400 crates (100 missions) and deliver them in time Edit: That also works with reaper. Just deliver all the crates to reaper instead of the location the need to be. Reaper buys everything no matter where it should go
Dude thank you very much. I tried this method today and went from 75 to 90 in one session. Took me a few hours but incredibly worth it. I’m looking forward for the gold hoarders and OoS videos if you intend to make them. Cheers!!
Yo, i also found out about this trick a few weeks ago in imo you dont have to do the shipment run first. Your flag also levels by just selling the cargo and you save alot of time which you can just spend on getting more cargo Sure the first few pieces of loot will only sell with an lvl 2 flag but i will lvl up pretty fast Also you dont have to do this in the devils roar if u dont want to, i just went from ancient spire to plunder and the other way around. I would just recommend to not chose cargo runs in which you have to deliver to the tavern bc that takes a lot of time
you don't need to pre level up the emissary flag to level 5 before starting to get the cargo crates. Delivering the crates will give you emissary; about 25 will get you from the starting one and a half emissary level (that you got from the crates at the beginning) to a 5. Also, this method works if you want to level up Reapers. Go to the hideout with all the cargo crates, raise the reapers emissary there and start selling. It will take between 30 to 40 crates to level up the flag
Unless something's different about diving vs sailing to the seapost, being able to use the quest table while a quest is already down has been fixed. Still works if you cancel 7 times, but it's less speedy for sure.
i was doing this last night and I never even saw this video, I just heard that refreshing the voyage 7 times will make it go back to the original cargo claim spot and so i did that for a while and went from 95 to distinction 1 lvl 20
If anybody thinking of Gold Hoarders, stack ashen riddle maps because they give 8k everytime with grade 5 and it's always the new loot, stack the emissary quest too and you'll get 3 levels
I would also do ashen captains because the corrupted skulls give 8k too and I got 3 levels without a full session and no emissary quest even, only done 5 bounty voyages and was doing it with my second distinction
Quite honestly, I'm not a fan of lost shipment voyages. There's a couple of reasons. First and foremost, most of the time whenever I get close to the end, another crew appears on the horizon. And as I usually solo sloop, I'm not in the most competitive position. Maybe it's just my bad luck, but very rarely do I have the chance to dive and retrieve the cargo uninterrupted. Second thing, this quest used to be buggy af, I don't know if they finally fixed it with the latest update. But based on my previous experience, when doing this voyage it was roughly 33% of it working properly, 33% of the shipwreck not spawning (only the manifest floating on the surface) and 33% of the cabin key nowhere to be found. And last but no least, spotting the seagulls is just so annoying sometimes, especially in the Wilds and in the Roar 😅 Given all of the reasons above, I tend to do commodity runs and delivery voyages instead. They're simpler, shorter, less prone to bugs and interruptions from other players. "It's a simple life". Also, cool montage ;)
just in time i was just on my way to lvl 50 to get pirate legend, very clear and very good video please do more like these :) subscribed! edit: jet set radio ost hits the spot
@@barnacleburwik hi after a few runs ive got a question. does the loot ever despawn if not placed on ship? because im afraid they will end up despawning since they are from missions im repeatedly canceling
Sir do me a favor and change nothing! I went to your channel to see what other videos you have done only to find out this was your first one?! I would love to see one of these for Gold Hoarders and Order of Souls and maybe even Athena. And congrats on the success!
Great video, only one doubt, after selling all the supplies, will that count as only one big voyage or it will be rewarded as lots of individual voyages completed?
I'd argue to not do this at brian's bazaar, whichever is the one up north, it is close to a volcano & 1 rock of those can completely destroy the value of your goods. edit: I used to do this before the season 11 change but I'd get my stuff from the regular outpost, sure there is more diversity in chars to pick it from but you would be safe from volcanos
Sod that for a game of soldiers, slap down a merchant emissary and do a FOTD or FOF or just PVP, you’ll get merchant loot and gems to go towards it anyhow. Or just spam ashen winds or skeleton fort
Well if you’re interested about FoTDs, you can reset mega-keg waves and turn those in for massive amounts of merchant rep. Only you’ll be sailing with a small nuclear bomb in your crows nest lol
@@barnacleburwik Yeah that’s what the world record to PL did, 4 hours ish. The ancient bone dust and mega kegs get the best merchant rep, gold hoarders is easy to hit on its own and the amount of skeleton captain skulls you get from random encounters, fleets and even the new spheres in raids shouldn’t be too difficult to get souls done in a decent time. People are too scared to go to world events, or start a FOTD that’s the issue, you won’t get PL quickly by doing voyages. Fortune favours the brave, go outside your comfort zone and you’ll get a little better every time you sink, I sunk a galleon last night 1v4 with my last 8 cannonballs and I clipped it too.
Unfortunately no, I will totally recommend you do some world events and if you're looking for pirates to sail with who have the quests unlocked, I'd suggest the official SoT discord since they have tons of LFGs everyday. o7
I did a lost shipment just because it was fast since I was just hopping on to get footage, if you’re planning on doing this as a massive haul, you can go in with a grade 2.5 and get grade 5 in roughly 30-40 crates
Its a great first video congrats, just some feedback when your were playing the game and not telling us what was in the video the volume kinda dropped a bit, it was a good video just maybe keep that in mind next time
how can you use the quest table without cancelling the voyage? i have been doing this method a couple times now but knowing how to do that would make it even faster. been looking around in settings but didn't find it
I have found it really only works on sloops, I’d suggest that and if it still isn’t working maybe swap around your table cosmetics. Could be something silly like that
Hi ! Thanks for the tip. I can’t access voyages if I already have one on the table. the button doesn’t appear, i can only cancel the current voyage. Is it still working if I cancel ?
how long do you usually stack for before turning in? I don't think you can stack like the OP says here ''indefinitely for 24hrs'' as you have a time limit as till when you've got to hand the loot actually in, otherwise it becomes overdue/obsolete, no ?
hey i can’t seem to add another voyage onto the one i have already it just says cancel voyage. no matter how i look at the table i dont get the option to enter the quest table again. have they patched this or am i doing it wrong???
gold hoarders -do ashen vaults, just go to cinder islet and drop the voyage down for key search voyage, if the compass says ''the clue'' is on another island - start shoveling around on cinder islet, the actual chest with key will be on it 100% of the time. if compass starts spazzing out while near cinder islet - drop the voyage and put it up again until it doesn't. (if compass is spazzing out it means that cinder islet has the clue, you don't want the clue, you want the chest with key)
@@SippySippy93 Works fine on my merchants kitted ship.. Also about the "not finding how to propose a new quest while one is already on the table problem", it's a bit funky in how it works. You may look at the table without the option showing up but it's still there. I found that looking at the edge of the table close to the hourglas works like a charm.
Unfortunately, the lost shipments are just prone to bugs. I did it for the sake of the video, but it isn't required to get a G5 flag. 30-40 pieces of cargo will get you there if you're trying to go in fresh.
This has been patched as of yesterday’s hot fix, this is a sad day for all sailors

When you turn everything in does it count towards merchant voyage completions?

Roaring Traders is best for longer hauls, try to keep bottles under Eleanor’s store so they don’t get blown to bits.
Can you think of some methods for the other factions?
gold hoarders -do ashen vaults, just go to cinder islet and drop the voyage down for key search voyage, if the compass says ''the clue'' is on another island - start shoveling around on cinder islet, the actual chest with key will be on it 100% of the time. if compass starts spazzing out while near cinder islet - drop the voyage and put it up again until it doesn't.

What's going on ? Jet set radio OST ;D
Can you just get level 5 emissary from the cargo?
Yes you can, it usually takes 30-40 crates
Yoo what was the montage song? Reminds me of jet set radio future
It is Jet Set Radio!
Dose this count towards completions???
If you’re referring to getting missions completed, you only complete one unfortunately
I’ve been doing these voyages and I never get the sunken ship to spawn in. I get a captains key and a book to sell, that’s it.
Unfortunately, the lost shipments are just prone to bugs. I did it for the sake of the video, but it isn't required to get a G5 flag. 30-40 pieces of cargo will get you there if you're trying to go in fresh.
I managed to get the quest table to work on a guild brig with 3 crew. It wasn't mine. It honestly feels super random.
You lucky pirate, would you mind telling me some details about it? Like what table cosmetic you were using etc?
Where to sell the crates?
what song have you used in ur montage?
Sneakman from Jet Set Radio :)
What is the purpose of voting up the voyage 7 times?
It is resetting the quest to allow you to grab cargo from the same location.
