I have a couple hours to play every week. I thought this was a coop chill pirate game. Only to realize I literally have nothing to do in the game now because I can’t dedicate my life to pixels, not to mention missing out on all the rewards.
@@apps9129 yeah i didn’t think it would be this hard to find people to play the game with but as a low infamy kingpin i feel useless as everyone else is already running meta builds or they’re brand new to the game. and no one wants to join my group😂
I also work 50-60 hours a week and can't possibly get close to the leaderboards because of it.. saw someone do a helm wager for 306k and he had 6 people protecting him
Thanks for the videos. Wasn't sure how it all worked. I was slowly figuring it out. Big learning curve for the pieces of eight. Super job. Love your content!
God forbid the devs would ever allow us to use our other ships and build a fleet to use for admin runs to pick up supplies instead of making the "end game" little more than a delivery driver.
Thank you, ive gone through several videos and yours is the only one with reasonable information on what i was looking for...i already kinda fucked up, dumped way to much in the upgrade list and upgrading each node slowly but surely lol but given the info on trade routes and how they affect the nodes puts it all into perspective
This is only half the truth the top players are cheesing the system saving up all their coins getting into lobbies with no other kingpins and doing the helm wagers to make 100K+ coins a run. I mean the leaderboard is pretty much pointless at this point you will never get into the top slots because of it, and I have seen friends funneling coins with this method up to 60K of coins per chest per player dropping it for a friend. The fact is fast travel needs to be disabled in PVP and so does grouping. I had two goofballs try to trap me in a river I faked one out into a fast-travel and led him away so he couldn't do it again, and then killed the other outside the delivery port. I caution everyone to do the leaderboards for the rewards of sovereigns NOT the cosmetics.
I think stamina items need a lot longer cool down, you can outrun anyone in helm wagers so it doesn't really matter if it's a full lobby of low levels or kingpins
@@JaydenXprod Right, means instead you take part most likely in the most unbalanced PVP ever designed where groups of friends can form two teams to work in tandem to make a helm wager a 5v1. It's not fun, it's not competitive, and the leaderboard is a joke with many friends stroking each other gaming egos. The game promotes the most toxic part of PVP to achieve and stay on the leaderboard lmfao.
good thing is that lvl 9 is founded for 1 day and 5 hours, and one of the best place to upgrade on Red isle is Tanjona, coz when you take africa it will connect with Harufu and Bandari
Yea Africa is the way to Pices of Eight, took me a bit before i had some ideas aboute it. But yea upgrade that thing to lvl 10 and boost it with Jupiter berrys and you be swimming in coins in no time. But empire mangment upgrades are important, the Efficicent Shipping upgrade is amazing and wil make your income sky rocket. So if you are starting out Focus on building up Tanjona and Palisade Bay on Red Isle, this du to fact you can use sugarcane and opium to boost your income on those early on. Not the best by far but wil make it quicker to unlcok more upgrades and Africa and once that happends there are better places to focus on for more income.
i am as well 2000-2400 (after working nightshifts 24hs) atm 2400 again.. i pushed several things to 6.. but u convinced me as reddit go for that town.. i bought the last ship and wasted coins on spool as well.. so just go for one upgrading.. than feed it.. go for the haru town.. sailing around geta really repetitiv but i am stuckes there now😅
Picked me up a set of 2 already. Front and back and for a solo, pretty good, tear ships apart before going in for the kill and forts too. Granted, comes down to preference and play style - that being said… you definitely have to play aggressive 😅
The area that gets 30% is really the only viable one. South of St Anne. You can get the other ones east of it too if you want but only raise them to level 4-5. Save up 5K and get African and Hurufu and Jiwe :)
I feel like the whole thing is rigged for the top players because they got the places first got the better weapons with the pieces of 8 and if you try to expand your empire they come and kill you in a few hits here i am maxed out on everything except items through pieces of 8 which i cant obtain. The delivery method is ridiculous i had 17 ships follow me and i was at the dropoff point and it took me over an hr to kill them before it would let me land. Im pretty much stuck right now since i cant progress because i have to do pvp i might end up quitting the game its pointless
Climb the leaderboard charts. It has tiers that when you achieve each one for weekly or seasonal you get a specified number of sovereign coins. Leaderboard goes off of your pieces of 8 collected.
Well not the dumb react videos but I am sure you have some thoughts about the new season that you can share with us instead of yapping to the end of the game. Its fine I will leave the video to reach 8 minutes just for you I dont mind. Was just an idea
Just make a second account on a different system that second account will be low level which will make u in low level lobbies joint account and u won’t have any kingpins in ur lobby
Benji when are pal world videos coming I have been waiting for it from the day you said you would play it .Its just that I don't like any other youtubers gameplay man your the best .love your videos
I have it mostly scripted and it's very soon. As soon as I run outta pirate content to make it's coming. Not a lot of videos cause the game is already mostly solved but at least a few good juicy ones.
The fact that these goofy assed poison enemies are going to rule the server is such a turn off to me. I ain't tryna fight people with fart gas for 2 months.
@@gato313ngl you cant play skull and bones just because its a pirate game. Its not even historically accurate nor is the gameplay. Would play sea of thieves if you want pirates.
@@gato313 yeah you need a crew in sot. Solo players are in huge disadvantage as all multiplayer games. Skull and bones is kinda fantasy rpg so you should have considered that before buying. I am sure the boss fight is like world event so it will be only in certain areas which you can avoid
Runs are over fleet of pestilence are relentless lvl 10 vs my 11 ship and sunk over and over in record timing. I have all the best stuff so that makes it make so much more sense post update season 1....
as someone who works 50-60 hours a week i’ve given up on trying to be competitive right away as some of y’all have no fucking life…

i did Jiwe too, 30% region bonus w decent trade routes seemed pretty good and i can grab harufu on the way back to sainte-anne

Some of us have to go to work every day 😂😂😂
this game wasn't made for ppl with jobs unfortunately

3:17 that’s a visual bugg we all ready crunched math, it says way lower than what ur actually producing an hour, ubi is working on it
Thank You for making this video. Keep them coming!!!
So, going off of the routes logic, in theory, is Tanjona the best place to upgrade in Red Isle?
Great stuff mate. Thank you. You are fast becoming my go-to guy for all Skull and Bones
by the time you get all your factories to lvl 6-7 (in red isles and some in africa) the roi for the empire management upgrades is crazy
i’ve maxed every upgrade in the helm except for indies and it is worth it

i’m top 35 and i don’t do this
@@JaydenXprodHow many pieces of eight you made？
@@alanlam128 230K majority came from non-helm wagers.

Why is this a full time job? I enjoyed the game right until the end game like wtf. What’s this leaderboard shit?
it's shit.
good thing is that lvl 9 is founded for 1 day and 5 hours,
and one of the best place to upgrade on Red isle is Tanjona, coz when you take africa it will connect with Harufu and Bandari
Supply run only runs for 17 minutes for me. So you're saying to go to the outpost every 17 minutes to start supply run?
Same question, idk how it works, it’s so boring to re supply every 20 mins and hunt for those goods
Yea Africa is the way to Pices of Eight, took me a bit before i had some ideas aboute it.

y tanjona and palisade. there r other manufacturies that also take sugar cane
What‘s the max level for the manufactories? Like 10?
Do you think its ok stop at lv 6 in each one after the 1k coins upgrade and eventually upgrade the rest?
1st like and comment :) love ur content anyway
Are you a child with you 1st comment?
i am as well 2000-2400 (after working nightshifts 24hs) atm 2400 again.. i pushed several things to 6.. but u convinced me as reddit go for that town.. i bought the last ship and wasted coins on spool as well.. so just go for one upgrading.. than feed it.. go for the haru town.. sailing around geta really repetitiv but i am stuckes there now😅
Thanks!
All of mine are maxed out, and I make 47,675 pieces of eight a day
Stupid question: do we still get pieces of 8 if we don’t supply berries/sugarcane/red flowers ?
If you pay silver it produces coins just at a slower rate.
Do you feel that getting a Ubisoft + Premium (on my Series X) to play this game is worth my time and money? I been seeing a lot of negative reviews.
Honestly? No.
@@SwoleBenji TY for that honesty
For this game yeah, then just cancel the sub if you don’t wanna play the other shit they got.
@@32Jonathan32 I appreciate your response!
Do all of our helm upgrades and factory things reset when season 1 starts? If so I’m gunna wait to upgrade anything.
According to twitter they do not reset it is a display bug.
why sometimes it is showing true making per hour like 50/h and for me most of the time it is 20/h even on lvl.1 or lvl. 6 factory
how do you deliver things to your locations? i see where it says deliver 200 X but I don't see an option to give it to them or what delivering it does
U have to actually put it on your ship it can't be in the warehouse. then interact with the factory, and it'll say supply run
My manufacturies only produces 10 per hour idk why
All I want is 3x Scurlock's Long Nines - any chance for a review on those guns?
I could, but they're just long guns that have a pretty crappy passive for solo play.
Picked me up a set of 2 already.
Front and back and for a solo, pretty good, tear ships apart before going in for the kill and forts too.
Granted, comes down to preference and play style - that being said… you definitely have to play aggressive 😅
@@luisalfredo297long nines and zams 3 are op as fuck
@SwoleBenji they are amazing for pvp, if you have a ship with nothing but long nines, no one can beat you
Finally a good story about how to farm this crap...... Thanks !
You reached 8 minutes for this video. Well done 👍
I had to edit in the last bit. :(
Which place should I level up in the Red Isle? Before harufu?
The area that gets 30% is really the only viable one. South of St Anne. You can get the other ones east of it too if you want but only raise them to level 4-5.
Save up 5K and get African and Hurufu and Jiwe :)

nice vid pal, can you tell us how do you get so much silver??
Link in the description.
@@SwoleBenji Which exctly video ? name ?
Benji random question, where'd you get that coat? Its not in the clothing store or in the game store at the title screen? Thanks!
No idea. I guess it came with the game?
It came with the premium version I believe
100% it's from the ashen corsair upgrade pack
I don't have that coat and I have that edition
So the only way to get the sovereign coins is by farming gold ? Or how else can I get sovereign coins ?? Thanks
That's the only way so far.
Climb the leaderboard charts. It has tiers that when you achieve each one for weekly or seasonal you get a specified number of sovereign coins. Leaderboard goes off of your pieces of 8 collected.
I wish you made a reaction video for the season 1 trailer. I am sure you can make it 8 minutes easily
I don't do react videos.
@@SwoleBenji thumbs up!
Well not the dumb react videos but I am sure you have some thoughts about the new season that you can share with us instead of yapping to the end of the game. Its fine I will leave the video to reach 8 minutes just for you I dont mind. Was just an idea
Can we talk about how you have maxed silver?
Check the description for a silver farming guide.
About to play this game tonight let’s see wuzup
So S&B becomes a farming sim after Kingpin.. Cool..
8 min well spend 🤘
How do you get juniper berries on the supply network or order registry ? Beacause i need them to refill for the gin but i don't have those in the helm
Level up the smuggler trade to lvl 8 or so and says you unlock white skull gin, that gives you berry for contracts
@@zachbaethke1578 ok thanks mate i will try
Is there anything to do with friends? Or is it all just solo farming po8 in the end game? 😅
You can farm with friends the matsxD
Helms wager is impossible without friends.
Try mega forts. Would be surprised if you can solo them
Just make a second account on a different system that second account will be low level which will make u in low level lobbies joint account and u won’t have any kingpins in ur lobby
@@TheThedogpond so, spend another $70 on the game to be bored after I get kingpin again? 🤣
I would say when bring fleets into it be time were probably get attack u have to defend it u have that risk
