Im 33 years old and been playing games since i was born. Consoles and PC. I had a time in my life i used to bother with companies and playing games that are not finished, lacks features and mechanics. But now i measure quality by the amount of fun i have while playing, and not by what people are saying about. About Skull and Bones, i played the beta and had fun. Thats all i need.
Hell yeah brother! That is the way to do it
This game is loads of fun! I love it. Bought a second copy for my son. He loves it lol.
@@juggernaught79bro I got it yesterday and it’s fun asf
I get that people expected more after so many years of development. But it's honestly not that long ago I heard about it for the first time. So I had no expectations.
I enjoyed the sht out of the beta and decided to pay some extra for early access. Now I'm HOOKED 😂😂😂
Hell yea I hear that! I'm 43 and my addiction started with Atari and Nintendo. I don't over critique games, because by doing that you miss out on a lot of fun in a lot of games, like this gem.
Thank you for all these tips, definitely helps out!
I only have a small amount of time to play games these days so I really enjoy how I can just load up on some stuff and go sail around real quick, really like S&B for that and hope the game grows for a long time.
Great info. Great tutorial! These are some really useful points man, appreciate the video. Nice to see folks actually enjoying this game and giving it the fair shot it deserves.
Great tips loved the beta and cant wait to see all the good info we'll when the full game releases! I did the story missions with a friend and when I got all the $ from it, then I did mine and was able to double down with the blacksmith missions on the silver I was able to get ending the beta on 30k
Thanks I learned a lot. I appreciate the video and what you’re doing.🎉
Great video and very informative to help out all us newbies. Cheers and I look forward to more content.
This was a super helpful and well explained video, thanks!
Great video! I'd love to see more. Good tips. I have also worked more with the bombard than with the cannons ;)
Bro this is a great video. Thanks so much. Subbed
Very good video. Very helpful and I learned a ton of very useful info! You Sir got me to hit that sub button before the video finished! Thank you 👍🏻
The item tracking is gonna be a lifesaver…. Thank you so much for sharing that information.
Thanks for the tips. I just picked up the game yesterday. I started grinding it today, but since I'm at work I decided to look up some videos. Glad I came across your video.
I just got it after the 8hr free trial and after 2 days there's wasn't much here I didn't know except I had yet to attack a settlement - those in past games including Bethesda's Pirates of the Caribbean were always tough. I shoulda' figured that wasn't the case. Been using long guns w/fire on the back and sides with those bomba's on the front - perhaps I'll try those everywhere now. :)
Thankyou for a game changer video. Just started playing and was getting very frustrated by the “Go here and fetch this” missions. However, take all of the jobs / missions / contracts at the same time and it is a completely different game, so much more fun
This is a very informative well done video.. played 13 hours of the beta and didn’t even know some of the things mentioned here. Earned my like and a follow. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Same here , thanks again.
Thank you, excellent video, very helpful
- Ghostship drops maxed Seafire
- DMC Elite drops Mortar 3 (only relevant for the beta)
- Compagnie Convoy drops 2nd best Armor in the game (Lv10 was possible in Beta)
- biggest Rum/Gin/Snuff/Opi Smuggle is bugged, only consumes 1 if each item (Abuse before fixed)
- Water Flask boosts speed by 10%
- Always have buff food + stamina recover food (key to success)
- Use Rapidfire weapons left+right, longrange cannon on the back for pvp is a must
- Always go for legendary treasure, most people join but dont even contest
- Restarting the game causes destillery etc to fast forward 1 hour the crafting
- Restarting the game, waiting 5 minutes, getting into a new lobby resets all merchants and smuggle tasks in the "smuggler area" (Make sure to wait, otherwise you might end in the same lobby and it wont reset)
Tons more stuff that is even more exploitable exists already
Incredible information! Thanks for sharing this 😊
Thanks!
A true pirate ye are laddy!
We are pirates so it only makes sense to find easy ways for things.
Thanks for that merchant info
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾, not gonna ply this, but thx for the work an help you provided to those tht will, subbed great vid
That is super kind of you thank you very much
Great video! Thanks man!
awesome video bro! Can’t wait for release
Same here!
Very helpful, thank you!! I just started and it can be a lil bit overwhelming!
There is quite a lot to do. So I completely understand.
I just wish I had seen this before beta ended. It would've answered alot of my problems and questions. Looking forward to seeing more vids on this from you.
And you got my support like and follow and don't listen to that guy, he's just trolling maybe he's having a bad day 😂. I play and promote what I like as well you should to. 👍
Absolutely amazing bombard ship you have there!
Great tips. I like the DPS of those bombards. 😎👍
Me too! Literally insane
Great video bro love this game
Top tip with that dotted line for cannon efficiency
There is one thing I would add. I start my opening salvo on the side guns close to that line then swing a full 90 degrees to hit front cannons and opposite side for 8 bombard shots.
Also with bombard reticule, the horizontal hash marks are 100m increments so use your spyglass as a rangefinder and line it up 🎉🎉
@jamessarrasin4500 bro I just rotate in circles shooting in 1 direction its glorious 🙌 😂
best tip wheel edit. thank you for that. the best....
helpful video that addresses frustrating problems i was running into.
-carrying too many food items taking up slots
-not buying blueprints at every opportunity. and scrolling down to find them.
-using water
-weapon loadout
-combat techniques.
I save time by always managing warehouse stuff when returning to my ship, I always double check my inv just before setting sail. Saves running to the warehouse/cache to manage it when you can just do it on your way out anyway
im absolutely loving this game so far and im almost at cutthroat but im also taking my time playing and i dont know why haters are going to go on a video about a game they hate when they could just ignore the video and watch something and let the rest of us that enjoy the game enjoy it
Thx very useful :)
great videos alexcornnut . have you any experience with the privateers ? how do i deal with them the crush me for no other reason then i get in there range
Thank you. I learned a lot from you. I am going to check but I really hope you have more begginers guides and maybe a complete welcome to the game idiots guide. I am not going to lie I am lost on so many things.
Welcome to the game idiots 😂
I might do that
Good video, thank you! Two comments though:
1. There is a drawback to accepting every possible contract you see. The Helm contracts can spawn couple ships chasing you and respawning infinitly and when you get 5 such contracts, you'll end up with 10 ships on your tail all the time.
2. You don't need to walk to your cache / warehouse ever. Just press Z and Manage Cargo.
Cheers!
I never ran into a situation where I was being chased by multiple ships. That could be because I kill almost every ship I roll up on.
That definitely is a good tip for players that are trying to be more passive so thank you for dropping the comment!
Wait what ships are you talking about chasing you? Privateers?
@@xHONEY0BADGERx no, the black ones
Rogues?
@@xHONEY0BADGERx correct
I am currently trying out the cannons you suggested. I having a bit of trouble working out how high I need to aim, so I mostly been racing near them and attacking fast. It seems to work quite well so far, until I can improve the furniture. I did a level 10 boss quest who was quite tough and kept using fire on me to break my sails for a while. It seemed to work quite good on him, and I only needed to heal once the whole time. Also had to quickly dispatch a few weak ships that were around. I can have 5 weapons, so I put torpedo at back for now and the repair auxilly on, but it doesn't heal when used. I think it only useful to heal others so I swapped for the aoe damage one.
I wonder if using the tank ship would be worthwhile with this build as I felt it was too slow with my dps cannons.
Also wondering, do you feel higher DPS is better than higher ship level? It probably don't matter once you use a higher ship as you can get to level 10 easily but for a smaller ship it could matter as you may not get to level 10 once equipped.
I was buying up blueprints and just sailing the seas exploring, then started cracking down on main story mission and bigger side missions and lo and behold, I either got those blueprints free or weapons or furniture without buying the blueprints. I wouldn't blow money on blueprints until you gotten some time under your belt to see what is useful, that you *don't* have still, or tons of money to just blow.
If you are consistently killing ships & running missions. Money really isn't a problem, I think having the blueprints so you can build anything for any situation (building for other players) is valuable.
That being said I do agree with you you don't want to buy blueprints you know you're not going to use
@@alexcornnutHere's a catch, without blueprint the other player can't receive the item you crafted, at least its what i think is the situation , i played coop woth a friend and helped him to do the grand admiral quest that gave Leopold 1(big blue mortar), i did not had the quest, so we crafted 2 but when we tried to trade the tooltip said that I don't have the necessary infamy level or something to use that, so ot was greyed out.
For one is useful that it works that way, it will be too easy to give new players high level stuff right at the beginning.
@@cristianfatu2088 infamy level is your rank.
You were trying to give your friend a gun that was higher than his current rank.
You do not need to have the blueprint to be traded with. I know that for sure as I crafted some cannons for some of my crew.
@@alexcornnut Me and my friend were maxed out on anything possible in the open beta, I don't remember what exactly were the tooltip tho..
Word!!
Don’t worry about hull size too early if you start getting full travel to your closest outpost so you can drop your gear in there but also find the pirate campfire (upside down triangle) so you can throw powder on and get a 30 minute boost to energy. Use the boost along with cooked food and you never need to slow down until you start overfilling your ship, so when your ship starts slowing you know it’s time to find a outpost again.
Thanks
A quick not on the food. Grilled gives you a better benefit but the cooldown is also extended so you are able to use it less often than raw. The cooldown extension is negligible between raw and grilled but when you go to cooked meals the cooldown is pretty harsh.
I recommend eating a buff meal before going into a big encounter then use the grilled food or raw for boosts during combat.
I rarely need to consume food items thougu unless I'm traveling full trim over long distances or need a buff meal for combat. Most of the time I'm sailing along the coast at half speed.
Random tip: Mark all items in your cargo (square on ps5) that you want to transfer to warehouse then transfer all at same time.
If you want to split stacks of items do that individually tho.
Use this in combination with visiting a settlement often, then hold circle to access ship menu (don't waste time physically walking to the cache and watching cutscene) to unload your booty into your warehouse safely.
Doing this often will keep your cargo hold from getting full and maximizing loot hauls, or becoming encumbered which slows ships speed.
That is absolutely the way to go.
I guess I should have put that in the video because that is something I've been doing since day one
Super super super helpful - thank you!! Best way to level?
Mainlining the story missions and doing missions that are at or above your current ship level works very well.
What do you do with the stuff that you get from doing missions that are now in your inventory and it is just sitting there talking up space and you can’t get destroy it
crashed ships are 100% an amazing way to farm up some easy cash. Especially early, if you dont have many cannonballs, there will be scrap metal around so you can craft tons more (100 ammo per 2 scrap i think?) And plus theyll have like 300-400 silver each + some trade goods
Thanks for making the video. I realize that the game is controversial and/or people are looking to hate on it, and it definitely has its flaws, but I liked what I played of the game. I had a good time.
I agree 👍 lots of people ready to hate on it.
It's one of the few pirate games I can play with my friends and that is enough for me.
Thanks for the video. ID still say you should go with max ship rank. a rank 5 sloop cant out damage a rank 8 padaw***. since Rank alone gives a DPS boost.
Early game you should definitely focus on grabbing the ammo crate blueprints. Don't ever waste your silver on ammo. Learn the blueprints and craft. You get much more in return and the mats are super simple to get.
Hi @AlexCornnut
Great vid
One thing I do different is, I use padewakang. I use bombards front with mortar. I basicly start my fights lobbing shells over islands (bombards are bit weird to use at first but so much burst).
In the back I use torps (just for the drop and forget gameplay honestly and its great when u get chased in combo with the mortar to have some "zonecontrol")
My broadsides I have no clue to be honest, long guns, demi cannons, culverin, bombards. Tried em all and weirdly I liked long guns about most, but they do less dmg then culverines. Probably gonna get culverins for broads as "good for all master of nothing". But yeah.
You have a close range build? I believe some tank ships will rock with flamethrower and close range stuff to just burn stuff.
Curious about end game gameplay, I had the option to get some material from a friend and because of that I had the padewakang in about 4hours of gameplay (dont pin me on that i didnt time it but it's something like that). This aspect is amazing for players to get into the game with a friend, but I hope there is more of a timesink for later game stuff otherwise the game will be "done" way too soon and I would be bummed out honestly.
I honestly use the bombards for all everything.
For close range you just shoot and aim low and you'll still get all of your hits.
We took out the level 10 ghost pirate ship and all I ran was the bombards and had great success.
This is an excellent game. Made me feel like when I just got an N64 in 1998 or 99 playing and exploring Mario 64. In other words this game makes me feel like I was 17 again 👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥👍😎
Well done.
I'm coming after your boats, beep beep!
how do i get the smuggler pass i finished all the story mode but i dont have it in my store
Only thing is do worry about cannon balls some fight it takes more than 200 balls to kill a tier 9 enemy ship
As you level up that becomes less of an issue as your Cannons do more damage.
For Boss battles your are totally correct, you wanna have 1000+ cannon balls in hand when you start the fight
Bonus tip attack the sails of a ship and they will eventually tear causing the ship to become immobile
There are cannons designed for that exact thing ;)
So another little note for the refinery, alot people didn't know this when I'm teaching new players stuff, but you don't have to stay in any refinery when you are refining stuff, you can exit and go about your business and come back later to grab the materials
God I hope that is something people know without being told. . .
I think a lot of gamers want instant gratification immediately and constant action i like skull and bones for what it is.
There is a limit to how many missions you can have at a time btw.
Also had a bug in the beta where I abandoned a mission and went back to get it again and never got it back.
Yes that is true about there being a limit to missions. I mis spoke in that part.
I find more and more new releases allow 'freedom', but they lay it out so you can do quite well just following their breadcrumbs. Why go 'off mission(s)' to get that piece of gear manually when it will be rewarded by just trying to do things in order - with less hassle and more efficiently when looking back. Also somethings just aren't intuitive so reading EVERYTHING on the menu screens can save a headache - like hitting 'G' on the map screen. I eventually figured this out in 2 days of play and use ALL the information they provide and it all falls into place - where to find what, etc. and now it's quite easy to leave port with a plan.
I use Snow. For the cargo hold.
I personally found the 'Long' cannons my go to weapon. The range and critical hit ratio is insane, reload time is very slow though.
It's all about having that DPS balance.
That's why I really like the bombards if I can do 2500 a hit and kill them before they can even shoot me I consider that a win haha
That build shreds how well does it work against ghost ship and other boss
On the tier 5 ship it did really well. I had no problems with the Ghost Pirate 🦜
Another tip, you can zoom in your shots by pressing r3 on ps5
So do you need to be lvl 3 to get those canons? Or is it just a print you need to find?
You need to get the blueprint to craft them.
You can also get them by leveling up and opening the chest you receive for each level
Fire bombs are definitely the move 🔥😂
The sloop gave you a 20% damage buff to structures that's why you hit hard not the fire cannons the sloop is an explosives ship
I play on PS5. I was playing yesterday, and I'm so mad. Privateers came after me for no apparent reason, and my ship got sunk 3 times. I lost all my cargo. I had 2 treasure maps, and now they are permanently gone. And treasure maps are the only thing you can't put in the warehouse
Do you need to use a smaller boat to hunt sharks.....i glossed over that
when it came to making silver i found buying the commodities from different vendors while they r reduced price or base price, then travel to another and sell them if they r higher priced. i would also stock pile them and when i need silver pull them all and see what vendors want and make bank.
I didn't find this method to be very profitable. You can make money but once you subtract what you paid for the items you only make around $1000 +/- depending on how much you sold.
Looting broken ships will bring you far more silver & I find it to be a lot easier.
I thought silver was easy to come by with all the ships I was constantly sinking and the treasure maps they would drop
Just started level 3 boat. I got marked as a threat. Don’t know how. Big ships keep killing me. How do I fix this. I can’t do anything. As soon as I leave base a big ship levels me asap. Livid w this
Early game, grab all the jobs from the job board. But later on, you can reach a max cap limit for contracts, so you have to abandon a contract to accept a new one.
I saw your other video after this where you corrected yourself. 😀
Enjoyed the videos.
It took me a minute to figure out how to abandon the contracts. Lol
did you know that if you go in to settings and then gameplay you can turn on/off auto harvest🤔🤔🤔🙂?
When you are at a vendor can they use what is in your warehouse ??
Yes 👍
If you attack the city while you plunder it speeds up the plundee time
That is a cool tip! Good looking out!
G for journal.. easy to remember...
i play this on PS5 and i noticed that there is a limit of how many contracts you can have active at a time
Yes that was an oversight and mistake on my end.
There is actually a limit to the number of contracts that you can accept at a time I reached it last night😅
Yes 👍 that was an oversight on my end
Love the video, but you got one thing wrong. The best thing you can buy is a new hat. 😂
Can't wait for the skull and bones x one piece collab or the skull and bones x pirates of the Caribbean event
a One Piece collab would be be peak gaming
You actually can have too many missions. There is a cap on how many of each type you can have in your Journal.
I'd still suggest grabbing as many as possible that are within the same completion region... Do multiple while you're out to maximize your return.
yhe when i discovered item tracking it was a revaluation. changed the game
Oh ok I didn’t even realize they chased you, I thought they were just in certain areas
Black Smith missions are all the same áter your are done?
The blacksmith missions will tear up as you level up but they are repeatable
How do you get/use a spear?
The first boat you start in. That's the only way to use the spear.
@@alexcornnut Thanks mate
Couldn’t pick up anymore missions said quest log was full
That was an oversight on my part.
Something I plan to correct in the next video
You said you can pick up as many missions you want, and that there is no limit. This is incorrect. The game won't let me pick up anymore missions. There is a limit on how many to can have at once.
Just wait. Silvers easy to get once you start doing helm stuff. Upgrade the first helm slot in the overview when you can until you get to the gold skull rum. Costs pieces of 8 to upgrade but once you get your helm underway.. it's no biggie. When you can make that, takes 2 white skull rum, then if you don't want the guns from the first pirate lord.. sell the gold skull to him. 100ish got me like 20k+ ish silver. Wasn't really paying too close attention.
Ngl. I did buy a new hat tho before I did the upgrades lol.
Bro wait till you have lots of locations to fund for the helm. You will chew through silver like it's nothing. 30k-50k to fund all my locations
time to watch youtube algorythm takes time ... nothing to do with good things
What is DPS?
Damage Per Second
Your boat is a great plunder vehicle but definitely would suck in pvp battles
The next tier does just fine for PVP battles. I have only done about 10-15 of them, as long as I get to the area in time I have had no issues.
The issue comes when your being chased no back guns.....even the speed won't help if you shooting vallies.....the time it takes to reload definitely the only issue.....but lets say sea monsters definitely a hard one to manage.......next video you should talk about rouge waves
@@Jay2k31313 in the next video I will
I went into this having never played black flag nor read any reviews for it. I personally love the game and paid full price after playing the free trial. Really dont understand the terrible reviews
Ar it is I yer captain AlexCornnut
The blueprints I've seen are a lot more than that.
I say from $45 - $5000+. I know there are higher ones but they won't be available till after you reach Corsair or higher rank.
17:38 I do hope ubsoft balances things in this game to not force everyone into a meta end-game destroying creativity and all. Sad thing about this game having pvp and challenging pve events with other players is your going to instead of just do whatever you want and who cares because it's single player your going to need to make sure your actually pulling your weight and contributing or not losing continuously in pvp events and when this happens people tend to pick the "meta" of what works the best and everyone looks exactly same and doing exact same thing in-end game. Seeing this part of your video just made me think of this and i assume you like fire bombs for personal reasons not because they are the OP weapon in the game, if so that's going to be boring endgame if everyone just plays with same weapon all over the ship.
I use firebomb because it's OP and I out DPS the cannon users. It's a higher skill level needed to make them work efficiently.
A lot of people talked about it being worse than black flag but you simply can’t compare the two one’s naval based and the other is while has naval aspects it has always and I mean ALWAYS been a ground based game and they compare sea of thieves but that’s a different story that being exploration there is naval combat but not as advanced as skull and bones
There is limits to quests now
Yes that was a mistake. You can cancel and take on more.
Mistake, sorry about any confusion
What are the arrows when selling things? Are they saying these items have increased value?
There's a part early on where the npc past the bounty board and job board tells you about this. It's still confusing, but basically some items are cheaper/more expensive in other areas so she tells you to buy low and sell high as another way to make a profit. I honestly not sure if red down means it's cheaper than othe places or if green up is saying it's a deal. I'm guessing red down means it's cheaper than normal and green up means it's more than usual. I am not sure of which tho. I was distracted when I first started playing and missed some cutscenes and info. But it's a stock trade system badically.
@@JoeyBComer Red means it's more expensive. Green means it's cheaper than other places. You can also get double green arrows means it's extra cheap
So Alex, do you think this game is going to be fun??
I already had a ton of fun with it. I know I will have a ton more
There is a max limit of missions...
First & only tip you need - don’t buy it.
You can’t go ashore in the game.
The cannon mechanism is broken.
You’re at sea the entire play through.
You cant control or manage the crew, halfway through the game you’re given a 50% female crew.
All in all = Nuts 🥜
Watched for the tips but I was hoping for 1 specific tip.
Do you have a tip to show us how to uninstall the game and get a refund?
You are so clever and original. It's truly inspiring
i smoke people in pvp with ez build torpedo at front and back , guns at the sides and the mortar in the center, won ez duals 3 vs 1
That shows player skill for sure!
So you aren't using canon balls and don't craft any? I think you'll be surprised at this BAD advise when you use the 236 CANNON BALLS...... they aren6't bad at mats, when you can get them from an activity you've already mention. Breaking into wrecks.
