For the loot room on the top, just place the 4 pieces of loot on the wall above the staircase. It is the side of the fort where your boat is. Just look up and harpoon them off the top. Saves tons of time bringing them downstairs.
I totally understand why you recommend not looking through any more furniture once you've found the storeroom key. However, for those completionists among us, there is a commendation for finding extra hidden treasure, i.e. the skulls and cups found in the furniture. Might be worth the couple of extra minutes if you want said commendation. You have to find quite a few and the gold pouches do not count.
I think that comm is called "master thief" or something, right? I got it after totally shaking down 2-3 forts, but maybe I happened to get a lot of skulls and whatnot during those runs.
You can just sail back and forth to the two seaforts in the ancient isles since they are the closest to each other. You can also put the loot from the storage room on the wall and harpoon it instead dropping it down the hatches. It's just as fast to put the loot outside the gate on the otherside instead of dropping it in the water on the platform side, plus you can harpoon the storage room loot on the same side.
Nice one mate, high tier content as always. I found instead of doing a full loop around the map, going back on forth from brimstone to ancient gold fortress was much quicker
I noticed that if the Ancient Spire outpost is on your span, you can commute between the 2 forts nearby as it restarts pretty soon. The splitting is 1-2 minutes
You’re a very nice dude, and your guises are fantastic! I appreciate the time you take to make these and the research involved. I’m really loving these Forts. They’re so fun and I can make some quick gold
Since the loot doesn't despawn for a bit you can just keep going back and forth with Old Brinestone Fortress and Ancient gold Fortress and leave the loot in a corner of the loot room. It lowers the risk of loosing it all if you were sunk. Just pick it up everytime you come back from the other fort to avoid it despawning.
Bonus Tip: Put the treasure from the top supply room on top of the fort's battlement nearest to your ship. Easier than carrying it down and you can hit it with your ship harpoon from there
I accidentally found an even faster way to cheese the forts yesterday. Park your boat near the dock where you have a clear angle for your cannons towards the stairs. Depending on how clustered they are when they run out of the fort, you can complete the entire wave in 1-3 cannonballs. If you don't get them on the stairs they still run down towards the landing and you can finish them off. You can clear the fortress in no time at all. Run for the keys and your done. Also for the loot up top, don't bother the carry it all down. If you put it on the top of the wall side nearest your ship you can harpoon it aboard way faster than moving it down.
To speed up the process further usually kegs spawn on the top floor where the captain spawns (I say usually I've only had it not spawn once) and it one shots the captain just don't die to it
I have been using this method, sometimes combined with mermaid shrines. Only problem is, it seems as though the second I finish 1, MAYBE 2 forts, I'm being chased by 1-2 other ships. Solo sloop vs a Galleon or brig is not a fun time. But on the rare chance I'm left alone, this is indeed a great strat. An alternative if you wanna be really "safe" is to just do and redo the fort northeast of Galleon's Grave. It's so close to the outpost that you can get the loot, sell it, and then the fort respawned. It's a little slower, but a little safer since you're not "stacking" as much and risking losing everything to a group of PvP hunters.
I've found it faster to just drop the upper rooms loot on top of the wall on the same side you park then do the main room (if soloing) then harpoon it all. With a crew. One goes up, rest go down, then jump down and harpoon the upper loot, by that time they should have the bottom ready to go. Just my strat. Didn't think about using the flintlock only. Thanks for that.
You're a nice dude. Thank you for the helpful information! In all seriousness thanks for this. For us low-level players this is great to know. Cheers mate
well i have done over 100 sea forts now. im getting around 40k with reaper 5 per fort. you'd never get a ruby gem and the value of the captain's chest vary heavily (500 to 1500 I think which is why the 54k theoretically shouldn't be relied on). yes you get the highes tier crate dropped the most, but its really just the captain's chests that're "ruining" the profit. As a solo player its's the best you can do in my opinion. They're a lot of fun instead of really annoying like doing gold hoarder voyages in DR. If you don't want to have a reaper emissary because of the server hoppers, use the gold hoarder emissary.
@@SeaOfConcepts We did it as late as last night (15-03-22), between Brinestone and the fortress west of it. I am pretty sure the respawn timing as of now is 15 minutes for the fort event itself.
Your a really nice dude, thank you for the really helpful information. But seriously you are soooooo helpful and have been helping me get better at the game with your videos! You are my favorite SOT youtuber! Again thank you so much!
Appreciate the content Sea of Concepts. But, there is a faster way. Bounce between brinestone and ancient gold. These are the closest sea forts. Park on the side with the pulley/barrels with your bow sprint into the stone wall. Unload the treasury right out the side door and onto your bow sprint. Loot from the storage room at the top can be dropped directly over the side and onto the stone platform where your ship is. Drop sail and hit the next sea fort. Way fast.
Good video. I would agree with everything except harpooning. I have found it faster to park out front. Take the treasury loot out the door to the right and put it on the wall. It will be right next to your boat. For the storage room put the loot on the wall to the right as you exit, which will also be right in harpoon range of your boat. That way you don't have to even drop it down all the hatches.
I just sail back and forth to the same one u sail 2 or 3 blocks away loot and phantoms and fort will reset / respawn. Its only like a 5 -10 min wait or something. Put storeroom loot on top wall and harpoon it instead if moving it all down.
Another viable strat for a long play session is to raise OOS emissary and do forts until grade 5. Go to outpost, turn in skulls and pick up grade 5 quest, then drop OOS and pick up GH emissary. Repeat doing forts for GH until you get to grade 5, go to outpost sell GH goods and pick up Grade 5 quest. Repeat for Merchant emissary. At the end you should have a map wheel full of grade 5 quests for all 3 factions. I then pick up Reapers, do enough to get to grade 5 and turn in. One thing to note about grade 5 merchant goods, you GAIN emissary standing when you SELL those products to the reaper's hideout. I don't think it's intentional by Rare but as long as it's here I'm going to keep using it. You can get from grade 3 to 5 just by selling the merchant grade 5 quest goods (16 plants/rum bottles/cloth). I've done this for several 3-4 hour play sessions and earned well over a million each time and I wasn't super efficient (I was doing the commendations for the sea forts so I was looting all the garbage in the cabinets). The best thing about breaking it up into chunks like this is you reduce the impact if you happen to lose an engagement. You guarantee that every time you stop to switch emissaries you are cashing in a portion of your loot in increments. Also, it appears you get more gold for Ashes at the merchant alliance trader than you do with reapers, not sure if anyone else has noticed that (you get about 10k total with grade 5 merchant emissary per box of Ashes). This is the main reason I save the merchants emissary for last.
For those who arnt great shots with the harpoon put the loot on the wooded platform it can be lowered and moved towards the opening for easier aiming using the pullies by the platform
Hey i was actually changing this idea you have. If you include shrines inbetween you can get another 200-300k. This will extend the time on the session but if you run reapers and do combinations of shrines and forts its super efficient. The best route i have found is 1.Shrine of Tribute 2. Fort Acient Gold 3. Brinestone Fort, 4. Acient Tears Shrine.
Just playing for 2 weeks not with around 10 hours and mainly grinding forts in Season 9. I bought my first ship yesterday. I Farm the two forts on the left side of the maps and always sell after each fort. Never seen a other player so you really can take your time there
Just wanna add on. Put the storage room stuff up at the top of the side of the fortress instead of dropping it in the hatch (it makes life a lot easier) You also wanna go through their food barrels (I found 5 pineapples) The treasury room loot just y’know drop it on the pulley Make sure you bring a food crate, Storage crate Etc bc they have lots of resources. If you feel like not going on the fortress park your ship at the corner and let the phantoms come to you and they will not be able to shoot you. If I’m not wrong 5 power sword hits should kill the captain There’s a ammo crate on the second floor so I would stay near there Also do not take a blunderbuss take a flintknock (like he said) The captain spawns on the 3 bell ring wave Check for the storage key as soon as you get on the fort That’s all thanks!
You can just take the two forts closest to each other and hopp them forever, you only need to be two tiles away for it to get haunted again so no need to sail this far, you can also stack the loot in the vault for 3 runs so you only have to transfer the loot every third time, i find this more chill cause it feels like wayy more progress haha
Store room loot can be harpooned from the top castle wall and vault loot can be pooned from outside the opened gate. Just park your boat on the back corner where the food barrels are. Saves time.
I just sail back and forth between Old Brinestone and Ancient Gold. By the time I clear one fort and load everything up. The other fort has respawned saves me a lot of sailing time lol
I know how to shave a lot of time, place the loot on the wall. The wall is angled so that you can have it placed half way up/down the wall. To then harpoon it all. Saves time from going floor to floor with the loot. Just make sure you orient your loot on the same wall/corner if you are skilled at it. Iv been working on it, and it works pretty well. Just do it a few times and you would of mastered it.
One thing that me and my friend discovered is that you can take a supply crate and just run around the fort and emptying barrels, after a couple forts we had like 15 pineapples
I definitely think Seaforts are the most immediate and engaging gold farm. Raise a Reapers or Gold Hoarders, run a circuit to three or more forts, collect fat stacks. 1 to 2 hours later nets me roughly 150k I'd say.
just a tip to make it even faster... putt a keg in the middle of a room when the boss wave spawns just lure the boss towards the keg and blow it up. When the boss dies so do the remaining phantoms. probably only saves like 15-30seconds but still.
You're a nice dude, thank you for the really helpful information
✨Mr. zetGuapoo✨

Too
yea this game is getting worse and worse please add some real rewards who tf needs gold anyway
Eyy i had the same idea

I just gradually drop them off the side

@@TheBestAsbestos13 there are multiple tiers. You'll see the comm announced on your screen at tier 1, but I believe max tier 5 is 100 items.

Exactly what I did yesterday
IT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME
That is what i do too
@@SeaOfConcepts You were probably too fast :D
I noticed that if the Ancient Spire outpost is on your span, you can commute between the 2 forts nearby as it restarts pretty soon. The splitting is 1-2 minutes
But these dont have those phantoms

Yeah but each ghost is one hit with a pistol..
@@DrWitnesser the fort also has a lot of cannon ball barrels so ur not runnign out also, this person says it's faster like this and i understand why
You can harpoon them to death too. Super fast lol

To speed up the process further usually kegs spawn on the top floor where the captain spawns (I say usually I've only had it not spawn once) and it one shots the captain just don't die to it
This helped a lot. Double gold weekend was insane with these tips. Thanks!
Thank you for your great help my friend!! I’ll be watching much more! I just got back into sea of thieves again!!!!

I'm the same trying it rn. I'll probably just use the gold hoarders emmisary instead. Less money but much less risk

You can also sell the store room key for up to 4,000. For some reason it counts as a stronghold chest.
Finally someone that explains stuff clearly
Since the forts reset pretty fast, you can sail between the two forts in the ancient isles for an entire session. They aren’t that far apart.
this didn’t work for me :(
Speedy people just get done too fast for it to respawn.
Maybe for speedy people optimizing to 2 different forts that are a tiny bit further apart will be perfect so it respawns in time

I think a much more optimal path would just be traveling back and forth between 2 near forts as the respawn timing is quite low, but great video!
They must've changed the respawn timing then, when I tried it just wasn't working

You can earn 102500 Gold in average with Reaper 5 for one Sea Fort
(Without Reaper 5 is 41000)
Where have you gotten this maths from.
Min value of loot+ max value :2 (without r5)
Min value+ max value :2 x2,5 (with R5)
BTW I have this math from my head
:3
They are good for money but 300k per hour is clickbate
Agreed
Theoretically you can make 300k, realistically you probably cannot :')

A tip for dealing with the Fort Captain since he can be an annoying bastard, you can kill him with one normal keg which are littered around the fort.
