    I got pirate legend mostly as a solo player, best tip i could personally give is this: when you start a session you should get yourself 2 essential things... a rowboat and a supply crate. Put EVERYTHING that was in a barrel on your ship in said supply crate and put it between the cannons on the ship... Now you have easy access to everything in a central location and if shit hits the fan and you're getting sunk... well all your supplies are not gonna end up on the ocean floor they'll be in the crate... The rowboat I use as a disctraction most of the time. I'll put something shiny on it and if someone starts to chase me, i'll angle my ship straight, get on the rowboat and detach. You'd be surprised how many pirates go for the rowboat because they can see something shiny on it with a player rowing towards em... meanwhile your ship is safely getting away and when you'll die you'll respawn on it safe and sound.

      I don't agree with putting everything in a supply crate. Maybe 1/3 - 1/2, but if you put it all in a crate that makes it easy for any boarders to instantly dump all of your supplies. Plus they get way more out of sinking you if you lose.

    I have a designated co-captain (bought me the game) but I generally do a LOT of solo slooping. I've managed to slip around doing several island hops and skeleton orders on top of underwater shrines for a good couple hundred thousand gold payout in around 3 or so hours. It can be profitable but anxiety ridden. Also helps you learn navigation points.

    The right attitude thing is pretty true. I lost about three hours of work thanks to a dude messing with my ship while I was soloing a Skull Fort. I was at the boss wave and had done a ghost fort and two skeleton ships prior. I was pretty salty but a bit later I took on a skeleton fleet event everyone else on the server was ignoring and the pay off was pretty sweet. Be great if more people were into joining alliances, they'd make way more gold per hour that way for a lot less work.

    If I need to solo I typically solo brig. it's not that much harder to repair and you can outrun sloops if you need to. it will look intimidating to some and you just straight up get from point A to point B faster.
    That being said nothing beats the comradery and hilarity of a crew experience.

    I play a solo Brig i named Toodles. It’s a lot of fun and not too much different than a sloop. I like the extra speed which makes my ghost fort and treasury runs a lot easier. Plus it makes bluffing a ton easier. More than once I have rolled up to a fortress where a sloop is and they run away.(it might just be because I have the legendary feared title but who knows.) The only problem is fighting solo. Too many things need doing

      @@Peter-xj8wj Go to brigantine open crew and you have a high chance to learn how to solo brigantine, but I would never recommend soloing a galleon, everything takes so long to do, bailing water out, anchor, sails, on a brigantine it's so easy, you raise the sails a bit before the island banner appears and then you raise both completely when the banner appears, perfect parking every time, also repairing holes isn't a problem and it doesn't fill too quickly

    • @Piston1937
      @Piston1937 2 роки тому +2

      Never solo a galleon. It's just TOO big. You need to run three decks down and up to bail it out fix holes and while yes you do have a cool cabin your main sail is in the middle and out of easy reach for the helm, and it's just a massive hassle with navigation not to mention turning speed.
      As far as Soloing a brig I tend to stick to the logic of treat it like a sloop most of the time. For most things you really only need the back sail which is within easy reach of the helm. When you have a need for speed then set your course and open both. If you need to be able to see where you are going just turn them both to either side and you can see pretty easily. In combat it's best to take it in small bites and make sure to have a crate of cannon balls on deck to avoid the need to run down the stairs all the time. Keep wood below deck and if you are midcombat i'd recomend sticking to only repairing the middle and back of the ship, the front is a bit of a walk in mid combat and has the least holable areas, unless you have unusualy fast flooding which means a large hole in the front. For bailing just stand ont he stairs and look down scoop and up toss. Map room also has a handy peaking spot which is the grate at the front of the ship. Not as convient as the sloops turn around and see the map but it helps when identifying landmarks.

    Solo slooping is the best way to get good at all aspects of sailing in this game and makes you a way better crew member when you party up with friends. My advice to new players every time is to play with someone to give you a feel for the best way to sail and then solo sloop a few times so that you can put everything into practice and get used to worrying about every aspect. You'll be the best crew member on any ship if you can do everything well

    I lose ALOT in fights. Since I started playing around the time of the hungering deep event I just run from fights. When I fight another player I die in seconds. I only won twice. One with a friend against a sloop that thought was a good idea to shoot us at an outpost and after a chase we fought and actually won due to their experience being less than ours and we sunk them. I was solo slooping and went after a reaper and he sunk cause he was damaged but tried to sneak on with a chest of sorrows which I heard while I was getting his loot. I saw his mermaid so I knew he was around and when I hear noises I raise my sail but he got on. I realized I heard it crying and thought "I dont recall picking one up yet" and when I looked at the pile to see what was up I saw him on the back. I actually managed to kill him (he also said he surrendered as he sunk and yet snuck on. NEVER trust reapers. They're always liars so I didnt trust him) but I managed to get alot of loot and a grade 4 reaper flag. Sinking my first reaper was super satisfying. But I always run from fights cause I just suck at pvp in this game due to lack fo experience and always dying

    well, why not add for example companions and for example each companion has its advantages and disadvantages, what I see is the producer of the game without any intention of improving the gaming experience of people who like to play alone, I personally have played several multiplayer games in the past and got tired for various reasons, currently play The Elder Scrolls Online but in this game you do not need help from players because you have the companions to help you, in Sea of Thieves the developers could create companions and even if we could only have one companion on the boat would be enough to not have to perform several tasks, I personally have not bought the Sea of Thieves because of it, have to do several things at once is not for me but it is still a very good game, it's just too bad that nowadays many companies ignore a part of gamers who prefer to play alone...

If I would need friends on my ship I would prolly find some randos for it but teamming up with other crews after all this "this is pvp game get used to it" bullshit shows how the makers of the just go with whatever floats their boat at the moment not thinking about the playerbase. It's just bad design for the sake of bad design. I did my pirate legend solo was lots of fun but this fomo " we take away quests after 2 weeks and if you don't find six hours in those 2 weeks for the game you are fucked" is also one of the reasons I quit just let me play story on my own pase I'm solo crew game is hard enough without time limits ffs

      You quit the entire game because of a single two weeks time limited adventure that isnt even around anymore? Sounds like a bit of an overreaction.

      @@SashaMasonVR What do you mean single? Its how they realease story now wchich problem in itself. The fact that i couldnt even complete this one was just sad addition. Maybe i could do even the retarded one if it wasnt on the timer.
