Tips & Tricks:
————–
Dont sail solo. This game wasnt intended to sail solo. You are already at a
disadvantage as soon as you disembark the outpost. The game can still be fun,
but the risk is greater to lose your plunder.
To sail you will need to raise the anchor by way of turning a capstan (large
turning drum factor) easier with extra of you helping then unfurl the
sails the usage of close by rope cleats (rope tie/hook matters) at the gunwale
(side of the boat). Press W or S to unfurl or furl the sail.
You also can alter the route of the sails the usage of close by a winch.
In ship to ship combat, aim to land your cannonballs just below the waterline
on the other ship. Landing shots above the waterline will poke holes in the
other ships middle deck (not lower deck). Since its above the waterline the
other ship will not take on any water from the hole.
The compass can be raised by pressing and holding the right (trigger/mouse
button).While held up, your character will walk slower and you should hear
(feel if using a controller with vibration) your character taking steps
(paces). This is handy for counting out your paces for riddle maps.

Get unlucky enough to have a troll in your crew? Use the Vote To Brig
feature to let him sit in time out for a bit. You and your crew can either
choose to vote him back out after you think the nasty troll has learned
their lesson, or you can just leave them there until they quit out of the
game.
Nervous about crewing up with other players? The Sloop allows you to play
solo if you wish to dip your toes into the water first. Be aware though that
its still a shared world so you will still be able to run into other,
potentially hostile, players in the world. Personal advice, theres safety
in numbers so crew up on a Galleon! (Plus this game is just way more fun
when you play with a team of mates).
Not all items in the game are given to you straight away (like the very
powerful Blunderbuss, must be purchased for 930 gold). Some items must be
purchased from a merchant. Merchants can be found on Outpost islands.
Supplies. Are you in an extended fight that is going on for 30 minutes and
youre out of supplies? You have a few options. Disengage would be the
safest bet. But where is the fun in that? If you are out of supplies and
you still want to chase, send your crew mate flying to the closest island
to pick up supplies. Make sure they have an empty inventory before you send
them. This can backfire if the enemy ship realized this and comes about to
broadside you.
To get a project, visit the Gold Hoarders tent on Sanctuary Outpost, the
place in which you start. Hes fairly slap-bang inside the center of it.
You will need to buy missions and you have a time wherein to finish them.
There is an unfastened project to be had to get you going The Stash of
Captain Bones.
Advanced Strategies. While you are chasing, tell your crew mate to stay on
the sails to give you the wind advantage. This is huge when you need to
close the gap. When you are fighting a ship, lower your sails slightly for
extra mobility after you have made your pass to fire. It will put you in a
better position to fire again. If you need to 180 your ship, steer completely
port or starboard and drop anchor. When you do this, call your crew mate to
help you raise the anchor. This is a very advanced strategy that can either
get you killed or maintain the chase. Save this one during critical times.
You cannot share a treasure map with another crew. They wont be able to
spawn chests on your maps. However, once the chest has been spawned (youve
hit it with a shovel), they can totally shoot you, and finish digging it
up
or vice versa.
Your ship will occasionally take hull damage when sailing through a storm.
This can pile up pretty quickly too so be mindful of it. You should be able
to hear audio cues of wood breaking to indicate youve sprung a new leak.
Finding and defeating the Kraken:
———————————
There is currently no known guaranteed way to make the Kraken appear, but
it seems the chances increase for the Kraken to spawn when there are more
players grouped together in a certain area. Thus, trying getting multiple
groups together and stock items, then travel into the sea to try to get it
to appear. If you see the sea turn black instead of blue, you can actually
escape the black sea before you are locked in it and unable to escape from
the Kraken. If you choose to fight the Kraken, use the following techniques
to defeat it. When you see the tentacles of the Kraken rise, target them one
by one. Use cannons and pistols to shoot it. You will defeat the Kraken once
you have caused all of its tentacles to retreat back into the sea. One of
the most important things to remember when fighting the Kraken is that your
ship will probably take a lot of damage. Thus, you need to repair your ship
during the middle of the battle. Failing to do this will cause your ship to
fall victim to the undertow and you will eventually die. If you see a Kraken
that has tentacles with a mouth attached to them, be extra careful. They can
grab a hold of you or another player and deal damage. If this happens, an
ally needs to damage that tentacle as much as possible until you are free.
Make sure to prioritize the tentacles that are near your ship, as those are
the ones that are most threatening to you. Once you defeat the Kraken, you
will unlock the „Kraken Good Job” achievement. Additionally, there will be
improvements made to the Kraken as the game is updated and chances are that
it will unlock other rewards.
Becoming a Pirate Legend:
————————-
Written by CheatCC
To become a Pirate Legend, you must reach Level 50 in all three factions
(Merchants Alliance, Goldhoarders, and Order Of Souls). This requires a
ton of time to grind quests and voyages to reach Level 50 in all three
factions. After reaching Level 50 in all three factions, you will get a new
quest with a riddle. The quest is called „Shanty Of Legends”, and the riddle
reads: „Through many voyages upon the sea, you searched to find the legends
key. Now one last step to pass the tests, to find where Athena’s Fortune
rests. Take this tune and make a sound, the secret lies near the ground.”
You get a new sea shanty and legend outfit with this clue. Play the shanty
in the tavern to open a secret path underground. The hatch leads to a new
faction hideout — the Legendary Pirate faction. Instead of normal quests,
the Legendary Pirate faction (who is also a spooky ghost) sends you on
Legendary voyages. Legendary voyages, so far, are simply eight basic quests
strung together instead of three. The Legendary voyage essentially mashes
the three current voyages together into one single voyage. At the end, you
will find a Legendary chest that contains approximately 4,000 gold.
Completing Legendary voyages will earn you reputation in the Legendary Pirate
faction. The Legendary Pirate faction vendor currently only sells a ghost
costume. At the Ghost Shipwright, there is an option to purchase special
equipment, but that just gives you a message that states the legendary
content for ships is not yet complete, and no announcement has been made
when the faction will be updated.
