Another way you could do this would be to first get 50 prized cargo run mission from the shipwright. Then sail to North Star Seapost, vote up a prized cargo run then collect it from the seapost. After that you vote up and down a tall tale checkpoint six times then repeat. Got about 2-3 million gold per hour.
Hey Jon just wanted to tell you your content is really cool I like the fact that you’re challenging yourself with most like eating 5000 bananas or watching your boat burn for 4 hrs
Wow, I can't wait to try this out myself One thing, If you don't have an emissary flag up and you only raise reapers for a brief 5 or so then there isn't really that big if a chance that you will get contested because in the video the gally only came after you raised reapers.
So turning in to Reapers also increases their emissary grade!? That's kinda huge actually! This doesn't happen with other emissaries, does it? Wonderful video as always, Jon! Always feel like I'm learning something with your videos 😘
It doesn't which is why I was shocked when this did! It only worked for the cargo though. Turn in a regular piece of loot and no Emissary increase. Right back at ya, one day we should go exploring and tinkering together. Who knows what sort of mischief we'll cause. 😉
@@JonBardcore It actually does for turning in merchant stuff that is requested, I cant remember if its cargo or animals or both, but I do remember it was very inefficient trying to get emissary 5 doing only those quests.
@@JonBardcore haha yup, after seeing I dont get to 5 from doing like four of those voyages, that's what I end up doing before doing any delivery quest. Plus it's much more money that way. Great video by the way!
I believe that Ashen Mercenary’s Captain quests are te best way to get the commendations you seek for. All the delivery spots are in the Roar. However I’m not sure that it can only be picked up at Morrow’s, Fetcher’s and Ruby’s. Because I was already sent to retrieve cargo in Flintlock Peninsula and the Trade posts.
hey after each cargo you pick up at the outpost you can vote and cancel any tall tale checkpoint 6 times i think and then vote on another cargo run. its gonna have you pick up all the loot from the same island
I have everything needed to try this except for the luck...but imma try it anyway. I just can't thumb my nose at the chance to bag (in my very best Dr Evil voice) one MILLION dollars...or, ya know, gold. Great tips as always, my good man!
guys this method has been nerfed hard they made it so you dont get the cargo from the island that you are at i had 50 quest and 7 of them where from morrows peak it is possible but so rare that its not worth it you can try the 3 man methode but its still nerfed
@@JonBardcore Yup, I've played on and off since the beta. Season 8 really caught my attention and I started playing a lot more recently. Before that, I last played a lot for Season 1/2 and I made it to Pirate Legend before seasons came out!
Did you raise the emissary flag at morrow's peak or at the reaper's hideout? And so you said 30 crates would get to level 5, do you mean selling 30 crates to the reaper give you emissary level 5 or is like 35 crates picked up and put on the ship? Btw great video! Always some super fun interesting ideas!
Just a warning that there's really no way to optimise this for solo or double slooping. The game will give you your first stop as a pick up for cargo, but after that, the game will deliberately give you cargo pickups only for the other two islands your not at. Tried this tonight. Started at Marrows Peak, got our first cargo, then from then on the game refused to give us any more cargo from Marrow. Eventually had to buy more voyages, same again, went to Fetchers Rest, only once we picked up from there the game decided our options where now only gonna be Marrow or Ruby's as long as we were at Fetchers. A 3 man Brig split between the two pickups is the only way you can make this work effectively.
I’m not the lucky one but this is a great idea for those who are! I used to do more merchant runs but always seemed to run into big bad ships who just wanted to sink the solo slooper…
Me and my buddy decided to try this out on a sloop. The moment we raised reaper flag to start selling 2 reapers (Brig and sloop) also raised flag about a minute later and came down upon us like the wrath of God. It did not end well for us but we had fun.
First off, love the content, second you could maximize this furthur by using a galion and setting someone up at rubys fall, and with the galions extra speed you might be able to get more profit for selling on time, if that bonus stull applies for selling at reaper's hideout
One problem with that, if you have a full galleon crew that means three pirates need to vote on the Voyage instead of two. So three pirates need to be together, probably at Morrows. You can move loot a little faster but that is about it.
@@JonBardcore I tried using the ashen ones, but you it gives you more plaves to pick up from, costs much more, and only gives 1 pickup spot, so ashen athenas are still probably the best option
As a pvper, pretty much noone decent attacks reapers sitting at an outpost, especially in the devils roar, for most pvpers its too far away and hourglass is more efficient anyway.
just a cheeky little life hack. you can guarantee the pickup location to always be at the outpost you are currently at by simply raising a tall tale 6 times (after picking up your cargo from the first quest) then simply raise another quest and it will spawn at your outpost. it will always spawn at your outpost however the tall tale animations are very annoying enjoy :)
@@JonBardcoreit was working the last time i played, which was less than a week ago, so i doubt they would of patched it. one thing i recommend, use ancient spire outpost, as the only people you have to collect the cargo from will be found at the docks. i can also upload a video if you want a step by step guide but it should be fairly easy to replicate.
Yeah the method I used to do it was get a gally (can do on a sloop/brig) and drop someone off at roaring traders, then everyone else head to morrows and vote (using the tall tale method) till get roaring and the guy there picks it up, if you use the original dr cargo voyages it will only get delivered to ancient spire (with the very rare krakens fall destination)
@@GhostSot See, I tested that method after this video was first released and I didn't get Morrow's every time. I wonder if it's because of the Athena variant to the missions.
Jon I hope you remember me when you get popular 😅 Also, Vid Idea: Speedrun Either The Umbra Commendations or the Shore Of Gold 😂 They both are pretty tough without tutorials but but I bet you could do it ❤❤❤
Ty for the guide, but i'm new. Is there a similar quest for pirates who haven't yet achieved the title of pirate legend? If yes, could you tell me the name of which one I should buy
Yeah kinda like a vid about the different ways to get loot and good places to go for new players to get some quick money just stuff like that sorry for the hassle
Thank you for watching! Keep in mind this method no longer strictly works with the removal of Captaincy voyages and there are more profitable ways to make gold though!
Great video! Thank you for sharing this. Two questions: how much water do you need in the bottom of the boat to prevent the plants from wilting? Also where did the pirate on Fetchers rest stow the goods to keep them from being damaged if the island erupted while he was waiting for you??
Water should be about halfway, so second line on the barrel. As far as Fetcher's, there is an outcropping of rocks near Fetcher where you can place the rum & silk so they aren't damaged. Plants can just stay nearby in water, the hot water of a volcano doesn't damage them!
Theoretically, any large, rocky overhang that puts a solid barrier between the rum and volcano to protect them from the falling rocks would work. The other thing to remember is that they must be placed on a solid surface(an undiggable surface). Geysers will damage rum very quickly, but they only spawn on soft, diggable ground. Finally, I spent as little time as possible near them. Skeletons will spawn -a lot-. Both naturally occurring groups and Captain Quests from the Athena Voyages. Always visually confirm skeletons don't have a keg when they spawn near the rum. The Rum seemed like it was in a safe place from the actual volcano. However, I never hunkered down in the same spot as the rum during an eruption since not only does the eruption seem to target the player, but the rocks have a pretty large explosion radius (Hence how I died in the cave at 5:40 despite not taking a direct hit) and I didn't want to risk it. By and large, protecting the rum is the hardest part. Cloth is pretty safe since there's no storm in The Roar. I just kept it on the dock and plants I just threw over the side of the dock into the water.
@@JonBardcore thank you! We used the rocks just to the right of the dock. None of the crates were damaged by the volcano or the ocean crawlers or occasional keg skellys that spawned when Fetchers was the island the captains would be on from the ashen quest. Took some time but we made one run last night for $645k which was stress free except for our buddy on Fetcher’s who had to deal with the crawlers and skellys and eruptions :)
I'm for sure going to be trying this on a slightly smaller scale. Haha! I also thought about doing this with commodities as well. It'll be some interesting science for sure.
Now for the next step...Full Gally crew, getting 100 voyages worth of loot, during Gold & Glory or Community Day, while still selling during Gold Rush💲💲💲
If you had your crew deployed at different islands... how could you still vote on the quest table? Doesn't that require the entire crew to be there everytime??
@@JonBardcore Can you please give us a tip for money making? We are newbies and little bit tired of the OP sloop guys. We already tried reaper chests and other good farms, but how we should start? i wanna buy a ship, probably a brigatte.. I'm thinking wrong?
Go back and forth between Old Brinestone Fortress and the Fortress that's to its NW. They're the two closest to each other and by the time you complete one, the next one has reset and is ready to complete again. Stack for the monies!
technically if you buy an emissary liscence for 20k or however much they cost, all the money you make from the emissary bonus with thats is profit to your investment
1.75 million?! I could always only get about 700k from 50 voyages (about 1 mil on gold rush). Is it because of that softpatch rare put in along the way to prevent you from getting crates? P.S. I found a trick, if you harpoon from a rowboat plants that are already in the water and you don't touch them after harpooning they stay wet. Same applies to cloth, so watch out.
The other trick is to have an alliance with another ship, build up the emissary flag value, then have them disband your alliance and sink the ship to get the alliance flag. Then recreate the alliance and turn in the emissary flag together.
too bad the commendations don't count. were that the case I might have considered doing this, but the completionist in me wouldn't want me losing out on the commendation progress :/ nice adventure :D
You can technically still time deliveries right for Merchants in that one hour time limit for max gold intake but it's going to be far less than the millions earned here. I'd just focus on any multi-order islands instead. Thanks for watching Robo!
hey dude I try to understand what u did so first of all I didn't done that voyage ever but is it something like buy 50 of them get every loot 1 by 1 and go sell it to reaper thats what I understand if Im wrong can you tell me where I am wrong? btw how much time do you need to do this
I remember the time I said to my friends were going to get the wondrous box of secrets and an Ashten voyage and we had so many of those rub bottles and they wouldn’t stop breaking them, by the way we actually found it that day and the chest of legends ashten done.
So let me get this straight. You stacked voyages by collecting the crates and then cancelling your voyages? (I’m pretty new, played like 10 times) Then you took all of that stuff over to the reapers? And made yourself the reapers emissary and then just started selling it all? That’s honestly insane
Hi there. I picked some stuff from a sunken enemy ship. It wasn't enough to get lvl5 Reaper, only lvl4. But my friends started to sell and we got to lvl5 very quickly. Was there any items that we sold that upped us to lvl5? Or do we lvl up our emissary by just selling anything? Thx a lot.
You either sold trade goods (plants, silks, rum) or commodities. That would be the only items to my knowledge that would increase your rank as you were selling
@@JonBardcore that makes sense. What do u think if one puts the Merchant Emissary just to buy communities, then lower to out the Reapers? You would gain some extra commodities at the start, and start selling those to help lvl up the flag
any information if it was nerfed ? we did it on a brig and as soon as we picked up our first cargos at each post we coudn't pick up anymore (we canceled and everything) or did we just have a bug?
Great video! But imh this once again proves that the whole reapers system is kinda broken. It's not exactly high risk high reward, because you can literally raise the flag right before selling thus minimizing your exposure time. In a game where you can literally be attacked and killed by anyone at any time, having a reapers flag only makes it a bit more risky, while granting a huge benefit. I personally don't think it's very well balanced, and that's why you see reapers literally everywhere. There are more reapers players than of all other trading companies combined and that tells you something.
Did you happen to pick up an Emissary quest? Sometimes that bugs out collecting cargo. Also, Stevie is not a guaranteed mission. You'll have to keep trying with canceling and dropping new voyages. Tad, Tallulah, Wednesday & the Senior Trader also all give out goods.
Wait...hold on.....i understand logic behind water and plants but... how in the Seven Seas Devs imagine keeping plants alive with......SEA WATER???! 🌊🧂🪴
Jon this IS a gold maker for a low investment and low risk. But how LONG did it take? My min max methods are time based so if this is like 2.5 hours+ to do it’s not my thing.
With Season 9's new Ashen Captain's Voyages, I haven't timed it yet but I'd imagine it would now be easier to just sell trade goods to the Ashen traders. I'd stick with Commodities if you wanted to try the Silent Reaper route.
The sad thing is, with Hourglass PVP being int he game, even crazy strats like this one feel like it's not worth it. Hourglass PVP gives way more gold in less time
@@JonBardcore Yeah PVP is dying out heavily :x But either way, i think the overall "balancing" of the things you can do to earn gold is very bad. Order of Souls feels like a complete waste of time, merchant stuff makes you rich, gold hoarder is..pretty normal and with hourglass pvp, i get more gold in a month than i got reapering in half a year.
@@AbyssHeroine There absolutely needs to be some adjusting of the loot tables for a couple of the factions, 100%. Wondering what we'll see announced come Monday!
@@JonBardcore yep they do :) i cant remember how much they give , but they dont cost much, and i think if you sail a circle around the map you should be able to buy a second round, i think it restock after 3 days

Hmm, the first run I did was just at Morrows and while yeah, it wasn't a great success rate compared to the brig method, I still managed about $300K.
i feel like this would lowkey b a great way to get reaper up over all. even if you are not a pirate legend just would take time.
Absolutely, though I prefer commodities because they don't expire.
I’m not the lucky one but this is a great idea for those who are! I used to do more merchant runs but always seemed to run into big bad ships who just wanted to sink the solo slooper…
Aw, sorry for the bad luck! Maybe you'll get it in next time!

With the new season QOL Updates, surely this method is now easier. Primarily focusing on the harpoon rowboat.

Bro this is the perfect thing I need for dark adventurer thanks
Go get those sails Chad!
Wait, the harpoon doesn't damage bottles? Missing a step on the stairs breaks them but shooting them with a harpoon is fine?!?
Don't ask me to explain SoT physics! 😂
And now in season 9 there is a ashen captain's merchant voyage in store, this method will be more and more optimised
I know!!! Got to try this out

technically if you buy an emissary liscence for 20k or however much they cost, all the money you make from the emissary bonus with thats is profit to your investment
Totally agree! Emissary is a great investment
I had this thought and tried this before, but my plants kept going bad even if I left them in the ocean. What's the trick for the plants?
Fill up the bottom deck of your ship about half way, right where the second lines on the barrels are. That'll keep them wet the whole time
1.75 million?! I could always only get about 700k from 50 voyages (about 1 mil on gold rush). Is it because of that softpatch rare put in along the way to prevent you from getting crates?
P.S. I found a trick, if you harpoon from a rowboat plants that are already in the water and you don't touch them after harpooning they stay wet. Same applies to cloth, so watch out.
Really? I didn't know that about harpoons and wetness!
Here’s a video idea! Maybe try and think of a way to cheese the new pvp mode?
Oh man, I need some help in that area myself lol. Haven't really had the time to grind that. 😅
@@JonBardcore maybe what you could do if you struggle in PvP think of a way where you don’t need to pvp at all? Like dice rolling or something
For the part using allies can we do this with just 2 people or we realy need to be 3
The problem with 2 is that you both need to vote on the Voyage so you're stuck on one island
Hey man, your videos are great! If you find a way to farm cursed chest PLEASE let us know
Oh man, now there's something to consider...
The other trick is to have an alliance with another ship, build up the emissary flag value, then have them disband your alliance and sink the ship to get the alliance flag. Then recreate the alliance and turn in the emissary flag together.
Yeah that'll get you a little extra, for sure
It's Pirate insurance fraud
too bad the commendations don't count. were that the case I might have considered doing this, but the completionist in me wouldn't want me losing out on the commendation progress :/
nice adventure :D
You can technically still time deliveries right for Merchants in that one hour time limit for max gold intake but it's going to be far less than the millions earned here. I'd just focus on any multi-order islands instead. Thanks for watching Robo!
First chance I will try this strat, hopefully still profitable two man sloop!
Anything above 25K will be profit! Just think like that and you'll do great
Solo attempt only taking resources from morrows peak profited 95k.
This doesn’t work anymore, captains voyages got banished to the seas of the damned.
RIP Captaincy Voyages.
hey dude I try to understand what u did so first of all I didn't done that voyage ever but is it something like buy 50 of them get every loot 1 by 1 and go sell it to reaper thats what I understand if Im wrong can you tell me where I am wrong? btw how much time do you need to do this
Yep, that's what it is. Sounds tedious but the profit is there. The solo run took about four hours but each of the brig runs were just under two!
I remember the time I said to my friends were going to get the wondrous box of secrets and an Ashten voyage and we had so many of those rub bottles and they wouldn’t stop breaking them, by the way we actually found it that day and the chest of legends ashten done.
Nice job! I still haven't seen a Box of Secrets yet myself. That and the Shrouded Ghost are on my wishlist. 😂
the ultimate merchant
LOL, who knew the ultimate merchant was a Reaper? :D
So let me get this straight.
You stacked voyages by collecting the crates and then cancelling your voyages? (I’m pretty new, played like 10 times)
Then you took all of that stuff over to the reapers? And made yourself the reapers emissary and then just started selling it all?
That’s honestly insane
You got it! Sometimes the weirdest tactics can make tons of profit!
Dayyyym this is nice Jon
It was phenomenal to figure this out and I just had to share it. Appreciate the love, Anveir!
Average merchant shenanigans
You know, just making magic happen on an every day basis. 🤣
Hi there.
I picked some stuff from a sunken enemy ship. It wasn't enough to get lvl5 Reaper, only lvl4. But my friends started to sell and we got to lvl5 very quickly.
Was there any items that we sold that upped us to lvl5? Or do we lvl up our emissary by just selling anything?
Thx a lot.
You either sold trade goods (plants, silks, rum) or commodities. That would be the only items to my knowledge that would increase your rank as you were selling
@@JonBardcore that makes sense.
What do u think if one puts the Merchant Emissary just to buy communities, then lower to out the Reapers? You would gain some extra commodities at the start, and start selling those to help lvl up the flag
@@danielgomessilva8966 My latest video talks about just that!
Btw does expired cargos remain and give the same amount to reapers?
You can still sell expired cargo but it's half value, even to Reaper's
any information if it was nerfed ? we did it on a brig and as soon as we picked up our first cargos at each post we coudn't pick up anymore (we canceled and everything) or did we just have a bug?
Did you happen to pick up an Emissary quest? Sometimes that bugs out the pickups from merchants.
@@JonBardcore No i don't think so
Is it necessary to be 3 people? Me and my friend are pretty new at this, so thanks for any advice in advance
2 wouldn't work for this method since you would both have to vote on the Voyage.
Great video! But imh this once again proves that the whole reapers system is kinda broken. It's not exactly high risk high reward, because you can literally raise the flag right before selling thus minimizing your exposure time.
In a game where you can literally be attacked and killed by anyone at any time, having a reapers flag only makes it a bit more risky, while granting a huge benefit. I personally don't think it's very well balanced, and that's why you see reapers literally everywhere. There are more reapers players than of all other trading companies combined and that tells you something.
There are a lot of benefits to flying Reaper's, true. Hope the other companies get a face lift in Season 9 or 10!
yes. I always do want more of this
Glad you enjoyed this one Piugn!
Can you only get the voyages from Morrows peak?
Ashen goods can only be found in the Devil's Roar territory so any of those islands.
How long did this whole stack take? Using for reference when i try this (good video btw)
First solo run about four hours. The other two were about half that time!
I don't now why, but i can't do this like you. I have voyage for athena but I can't take goods from Steviem on Morrow's Peak could you help me?
Did you happen to pick up an Emissary quest? Sometimes that bugs out collecting cargo. Also, Stevie is not a guaranteed mission. You'll have to keep trying with canceling and dropping new voyages. Tad, Tallulah, Wednesday & the Senior Trader also all give out goods.
jon good content keep it up
Thanks Zen0T! Appreciate you watching. :D
@@JonBardcore good content and will keep watching w
I never get Morrow’s Peak. Always the other 2
Yeah, it was definitely tough to cycle all those quests.
do you get commendation progress if you turn them on time and perfect condition but at reapers?
Negative, for it to qualify for the commendation it has to go to the intended recipient.
@@JonBardcore a little bit late but thanks! :)
Did they fix it me and my crew were not able to pickup more than one quest and then it didnt even show pickup gargo button.
So they removed Captaincy voyages from the game in Season 11. There are some other ways to make gold fast though!
Can you show how to do this on season 11
Take a look at my short "250% Extra Gold or BOOM?!" It's current as of Season 11!
Love this channel
Aw, thank you!
Insane ! Well play !
Thank you!
@@JonBardcore Thanks to you, im a new player on SOT and even if im not able to win my fights & stuff i can at least watch ur content haha
This is amazing content next time they give away the be more pirate hat try to do something insane to get it
Hahaha, I do need me one of those!
@@JonBardcore from what I’ve seen that will be easy for you
@@Purple_beard Aw, thanks Rat King!
Trully smart, still working with the update ?
Oh yeah, still works!
Wait...hold on.....i understand logic behind water and plants but... how in the Seven Seas Devs imagine keeping plants alive with......SEA WATER???! 🌊🧂🪴
Water is water in the Sea of Thieves apparently! :D
you earned a subscriber
Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy the other videos I've put out so far too!
You literally found a new goldmine O_o genius
Buy now! Stock prices are going to skyrocket! :D
That is very impressive good job
Thanks Spy! I was stunned this worked as well it did!
Jon this IS a gold maker for a low investment and low risk. But how LONG did it take? My min max methods are time based so if this is like 2.5 hours+ to do it’s not my thing.
With Season 9's new Ashen Captain's Voyages, I haven't timed it yet but I'd imagine it would now be easier to just sell trade goods to the Ashen traders. I'd stick with Commodities if you wanted to try the Silent Reaper route.
The sad thing is, with Hourglass PVP being int he game, even crazy strats like this one feel like it's not worth it. Hourglass PVP gives way more gold in less time
If you win multiple matches, sure! But I would bet there are far more people playing PVE versus PvP
@@JonBardcore Yeah PVP is dying out heavily :x
But either way, i think the overall "balancing" of the things you can do to earn gold is very bad. Order of Souls feels like a complete waste of time, merchant stuff makes you rich, gold hoarder is..pretty normal and with hourglass pvp, i get more gold in a month than i got reapering in half a year.
@@AbyssHeroine There absolutely needs to be some adjusting of the loot tables for a couple of the factions, 100%. Wondering what we'll see announced come Monday!
Bro just bought an emissary flag💀💀
LOL, kind of yeah. 🤣
If not everyone is on the boat, then how do you vote for the voyage?
Two people on the ship & one person on the second island.
@@JonBardcore oh, i have always played duo sloop, thought u needed 3 votes if with 3 people. Thanks for the clarification!
@@tyrextyrex4380 You bet!
Very smart way to earn gold and trick the system xd !
It was honestly shocking to me how straightforward it was!
Been doing that for a long time with cometities buyed from merchents :)
Commodities give Reaper Rep too? Interesting. Though I don't think they give more than 1400 base gold reward right? Would be easier I guess.
@@JonBardcore yep they do :) i cant remember how much they give , but they dont cost much, and i think if you sail a circle around the map you should be able to buy a second round, i think it restock after 3 days
