This is the most to the point video I have ever seen on here, good job

[@TheSneakyHunter]

I will say the cosmetic tip has saved my life before because I have the arena pup title so it looks like I played when it was a thing, but I only played one game and won😂

[@failmanfinder338]

You can use ninja shoes, they are sneaky as your own feet and less visible You can use a Sword to remove a harpoon, also you can use Right Click when the harpoon is attached to a solid object (like a rock or boat) or moving big entities (sharks and Megs) in order to get close to It, also yo can hold R to keep your position with the harpoon, this will not get your boat closer or away of a target, personally use this in order to move slower friendly boats faster (a galley attached to an sloop against to wind, or a sloop attached to a galley when they have the wind). Also is usefull in fighting while you are behind an enemy boat, cause you can keep a safer distance with the enemies and helping your crew mates to secure shots with the eye of reach. It can also be helpful if the enemies try to turn drastically in order to avoid your pursuit. Another tip is to use cannons as mortars, that's extremely difficult, but really worhty when you are on a tower or Island cannon, your Max range will be measured by the max angle of you cannon (45°) to reach the longer proyectile distance (wich should be the perpendicular distance of a map grid). Obviously, it's imposible to meassure your angle of elevation or the position of your target while using a land cannon, so you have to calculate the cannonball fall with your first shots. I used this strategy in Battle against a Galley and It proved to be very useful. The galley was atacking my brig, one crewmate managed to explode a keg in their boat drop their anchor after our boat scaped the danger zone I was literally killing all the enemy crew above deck, their masts, anchor and wheel. Also, if the enemy try to snipe you while you are using the cannon, their shots will collide with the cannon and you will be noticed about the enemy proximity. Due to the long time It takes a cannonball to reach the max distance, I recommend you shoot Up to three times before looking where is the cannonball falling. Also is a good idea to have supply create with plenty of cannonballs in order to deal the most damage possible. Also, another good PVP tips when playing against players is to place the loot near the ship's stern, so you can move the loot to the rowboat when the enemy isn't seeing you. When the rowboat is full of loot, just approach a nearby Island with caves (Thieves Landing, Shark Bait Cove, Marauder's arch, Crescent Isle), close water paths (Sailor's Bounty, Mermaid's hideout, Wanderer's refuge, snake Island, the sea dog's tavern, Shipwreck Bay the Uncharted, the uncharted Isle at K9, crooked mast, Kraken's Fall, Fletcher's Rest, Flintlock Peninsula, etc), during a mist event, in the middle of a storm or with every god damn uncharted rock in the middle of the sea of Thieves. Of course, it's not a good idea doing this at reaper's hideout if you are playing reaper, cause most of the players try to Camp that outpost if they are nearby. Also it's not a good idea to do this if you are trying to sell reaper's chests cause they can see you on the map, but if there is a storm nearby and they didn't broke eye contact on your ship, there's a chance that they don't look at the map. This of course only works if they are closing enough to your boat and to the storm, cause the chest's flare is not visible between the rain, waves and dark sky and enviroment, making It the perfect spot to scape to the reaper's hideout. Also, if your friends continues scaping or tries to avoid attention by scape-boarding, gun and run or enter in close combat, the enemies will totally forgot about the treasure and prioritize the boat's integrity, killing your crewmates or destroying your ship. Engaging combat is not whisely against an overwhelming enemy crew, a well disciplined and organized crew and by the fact that if they manage to destroy your boat, you will lose your emmisar grade. Another good PVP strat is to keep some kegs in your boat and dive to your enemies boat, every item in the Game that you can carry will emerge to the surface of the sea, that includes Kegs, wich have an amazing contact detonation mechanic. If you manage to explode the keg in the hull of the boat, the enemy crew will try to repair the holes, this will provide another crewmate to make a perfect deck boarding, to drop the anchor or even to deploy another keg below deck, killing the enemy crew and granting an advanced position for your crew. This is pretty worthy while scape-boarding on a brig or galley cause at least one crewmate while Drive the your boat. Using kegs as watermines is another good idea if you have enough kegs and a good hability placing them, but the fact of having kegs may drop the Survival chances of your boat during a Shootout. So the safer way to use this strat is using a rowboat as It was a mine deployer vehicle. When the enemy is chasing your crewmates, you will have to deploy a line of Kegs on a straight line between you and the Island, use your last keg to destroy the rowboat away from the minefield. Then advice your crew about your position and to avoid the danger zone, when you are again with your crew, just go around the Isle, if the enemy don't approach their ship's bow, they will collide with the minefield. This is not 100% granted cause many crews camps the bow in order to spot boarders, but is easily 100% granted on narrow paths like some rocks formations, Thieves Landing and the sea of the damned rock portals, cause if they see the minefield later, they will have to decide between shootingthe Kegs too close, colliding to the walls or dropping the anchor, this case is better a triangle formation to deploy the mines so it's less visible. I have plenty more tips and strats for sea of thieves, but it's not my intention to do a comment bigger than the video duration

[@LuckySOT]

I was just thinking about this comment and had to come back to it, I'll use some of these in my next tips and tricks video. I appreciate you sharing!

[@thatidiotoverthere6311]

I love Sea of Thieves KZbinrs. Especially when they do guides. Subbed.

[@eko12]

Very nice video, i am not play SoT because i don't really like the combat but everything else is so good and ofc fun to watch and keep up.

[@Poolparty-tm4no]

DUDE THANK YOU FOR THAT GRATE TRICK!!!!!

[@razgrizdarkheart2330]

There is an elevator and two harpoons at the sovreigns, and you can use the harpoons to quickly unload loot onto the elevator even when the elevator is lowered, directly next to the turn in on most islands!

[@Jkooowb]

You need a captained ship is helpfull to note

[@MrVictor1227]

Great Video. Thanks for the tips

[@Kingnarknark]

For the flag selling commendations (0:48), they require that you raise the reaper emissary before you sell, not that you have to take it to the hideout. Unless there's some other commendations I'm missing

[@LuckySOT]

For example, the commendation 'Pathetic Tokens' requires you to "hand in Athena's Fortune Emissary Flags at The Reaper's Hideout." Hope this helps!

[@Kingnarknark]

@@LuckySOT Oh snap, you're totally right. I didn't even think about the reaper hourglass tab. I've been missing out on progressing that one! Even if it's just Athena flags :) Good looking out

[@benwills7343]

That wooden boat tip is insanely cool. My friend is a pirate legend and probably doesn’t even know that.

[@Sound_Tech]

I always watch these anyway in case there's some tidbit I didn't about floating around out there. I played for years not knowing you could transfer items between storage crates and barrels directly until someone robbed me that way

[@CaptYeetz]

The grate trick will help so much in hourglass, thanks for the tip!

[@angelsalvadoralcantara7653]

I don't recommend that in sloop and brig. Beacuse if you have too much water, it won't work as usual and probably the water won't come out of the ship. It is more useful in galleon.

[@angelsalvadoralcantara7653]

I hope that helps you

[@nexus6090]

The lantern trick on boats only works on inexperienced players.

[@drip_chicken_]

Less than 4 minutes for 25 tips?That's amazing

[@bananabreadgod]

High quality content, love this dude :)

[@thelivingglitch1371]

I didn’t actually know about the animation cancel thing or putting the kegs on bowsprits. Those actually were kinda helpful.

[@Mr_TXG]

While non of these tips help me specifically this is still an amazing video from a very underrated channel

[@LuckySOT]

Hey thanks for that!

[@benwills7343]

As a new player who was thrown into a red skull stronghold and 6-7 ships constantly fighting mostly aiming at us, these videos/tips are insanely helpful. Like I know how most gameplay stuff works, but for the less rewarding things I have no clue. Voyages? What are those? Quests, tall tales, the monkey thing, underwater cities, boss fights (meg and kraken), trading (merchants guild and the other one, I think) and a ton more I have 0 clue on how any of that works.

[@LuckySOT]

​@@benwills7343 Ah well I think that's what my aim is, to help people learn things they might not know! I hope i'll be able to help you learn some other new things too!

[@g1ngrbread]

This is such a helpful video, everything was explained so quickly and clearly, you earned a new subscriber

[@firstnamelastname64]

I just learned this recently but ever npc’s name starts with a certain letter depending on what they do

[@regalstar1028]

For the feet making less sound, that's true, but sometimes it's more worth it to use boots to make it so your feet don't give away your spot.

[@The.Exprez]

My and my friend were doing FoFs and we got 2 Athena kegs and we almost got blown up 💀

[@pyraxiss]

you also can splash gold skellys with water then shoot them which one taps them with a pistol

[@discountdisco2273]

Okay the one thing I didn't knew was that the marker goes away if you bury reaper chests.

[@Zezud531]

Tipp 7: The Commendation dont need to sell it at the hideout

[@psycho_O]

If I sell all my loot to the one npc in an outpost do I still get commendation for different factions, if I sell skulls I get order of souls, chest I get gold hoarders, and so on?

[@burnbaconxbl]

#11 not the case with players who crank up settings to make darkness obsolete

[@Burdonkaa]

so if i have a sloop, my own sloop, i can get all the chests to this npc? and will I receive all rep as if I had submitted them separately?

[@LuckySOT]

Yes and yes! I do remember fish giving less rep at sovs but maybe they changed that by now.

[@greatdanate4304]

Useless to more experienced pirates. Perfect for noobies. Good job!

[@michaelslack4937]

A fishing rod will also increase yer chances of getting struck by lightening as well...

[@LuckySOT]

Fishing rods also increase your chance of catching fish :)

[@michaelslack4937]

LOL...Right!!!@@LuckySOT

[@ViottWatches]

If you sell to sovereign do you get goldhoarder, order of souls, etc rep?

[@LuckySOT]

yep yep yep!

[@Fishy-wishy]

Your ships name 💀(Caillou’s bald head)

[@Sound_Tech]

Kegs on the cannopy makes sure all the holes end up in the upper deck, making the damage less severe. Behind the map table works too, sloop for both suggestions ofc

[@Jonrocks7]

Ok these tips arent as important as the fact that somebody else wants to/does use ashen bones! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO LIKED THEM

[@LuckySOT]

I really like them! I think I'll probably always rock the same outfit on my skeleton curse unless they add something else eventually. I really like the Blindfolded Skull, The Ashen Bones and the Rag 'n' Bones Pants combo.

[@Jonrocks7]

@@LuckySOT yea my personal combo would be ashen bones, short fuse skull, rib caged (or concealed upper body), and swag shorts, however my most desired and main combo would be mottled bones, barrel head, wheel built upper body, and twin peg leg.

[@LuckySOT]

@@Jonrocks7 Fair, I feel like mottled bones are definitely underrated .

[@RealAchiever]

@@LuckySOTim running the same set except for the blinds

[@LuckySOT]

helll yea@@RealAchiever

[@vortexgalaxygaming]

I do it my own way

[@abyssal-labs]

I can’t buy my own ship as I’ve been grifed so much I just gave up playing

[@LuckySOT]

Safer seas comes out soon! It could be a good way to help save up as you hone your pirate skills!

[@abyssal-labs]

@@LuckySOT its a start but i want the full game not a tiny bit safe seas isnt the pve servers we have been asking for

[@loganjohnson8585]

Love the vid just wanted to say scuttling and changing seas don’t change server it just changes the area u respawn in and automatically put su on the boat without hitting a mermaid. Only way to truly server hop is to completely close ur game and start a new one. Don’t just back out bc it will just put u in the same game

[@LuckySOT]

It does! Try it out! You will know you're in a different server because different events will be active and different ships will be be sailing around.

[@AccelSternritter]

2:52 This kills the experience completely, pirates didn't have internet access with all the info of the islands lmao I'll never use that, it's way more fun to just look at the in-game map and try to figure out where to go

[@Nova3261]

an yet here you are looking at a tips/tricks guide video :P

[@AccelSternritter]

@@Nova3261 Don't be silly, just looking at a normal beginners guide on what you're supposed to do is different from using a GPS to navigate.

[@Nova3261]

@@AccelSternritter pirates didn't have internet access with all the info

[@AccelSternritter]

@@Nova3261 Let me explain to you in a way that even a kid would understand since that seems to be you mental age at least. I just picked up this game, and it has too much stuff to do and to keep track of for a new player, it's hard to keep up. I did not play when the game came out and it was easier and simpler. So watching a guide like this is the least thing i can do and gather some key points to follow on my adventure. That's it, bye bye.

[@Nova3261]

@@AccelSternritter you sound so butt hurt lol did i manage to hit a nerve? you said one thing trying to be smart an then did the exact same thing you said you weren't going to do
