The Ultimate Guide to SOLO PVP in Sea of Thieves

I need another double XP weekend, preferably one that doesn't happen during a holiday in which 99% of people are busy

[@mrkitloin]

Wel the calendar for January is completely empty so looks like the next double xp is in February

[@louispalko691]

Lol fr. Sea of thieves is made solely for people who do nothing else in their lives but play Sea of thieves

[@MandaloreTheDeciever443]

Entire reason it was during Christmas is so when people complain about how hard it is to level up (rightfully so) Rare can turn around and say "well we gave you a double xp event so you had the chance 🤷‍♂️"

[@CheesyToeFungus]

Yeah and only the dedicated people play so it’s not worth it anyways

[@R7SkIlZ]

@@MandaloreTheDeciever443 who tf is saying it’s hard to level up in anything. Pirate legend is the equivalent of a crab lord at this point. Skeleton curse is easy to get because of the cheaters, Xbox only server players ect. I got my friend to level 50 in reapers and he has like 1 day on the game. Levels are very easy to get. Rare has ruined pirate legend and has ruined progression. Only grind left is the 1000 levels in hourglass and that’s not really something to be proud of.

[@EssentiallyFalse]

European servers where people are sometimes decent the dice roll might work. In west US it's hard to even give away free supplies without being brutally double gunner'd and hearing 4000 slurs 💀

[@jesusalvarado4242]

True

[@JJJJ-lk8wj]

I've had a different experience tbh. Europe always seems like the sweatiest continent

[@ThelolipopCreeper]

@@JJJJ-lk8wj Sweatier in fights for sure, but usually less toxic comms from my personal experience.

[@JJJJ-lk8wj]

@@ThelolipopCreeper I can agree on that. Though back in the day EU servers on arena used to be a warzone

[@ThelolipopCreeper]

​@@JJJJ-lk8wj Oh yeah for sure, but then arena would draw the worst kind of players. Not only them, mind, but the risk that a random player you met would be a toxic piece of shit would was significantly higher in arena than in adventure. At least Arena didn't have people who called you slurs for pvp-ing in a pvp game, so it wasn't worse in every regard.

[@samuelplyler1511]

I named a sloop "We Sink so You Win" and just let them launch a single cannon at us. Since I did not scuttle I get rep and since the battle is quick I can get overall rep at roughly 2/3rds the rate of actually winning a battle or two and then getting sunk before being ale to lower hour glass.

Minigun sound effect was the best I've heard so far for fast firing cannons in a SoT video. Most times it's just the base cannon sound effect multiple times, which is played out. The brrt got a good chuckle out of me.

[@Gombo125]

Cool video! I would just say, for the dice people, DO NOT SCUTTLE, simply tell the winner to sink you, otherwise you do not get loss rep

[@Tiger54658]

With the dice roll i like "Evens or odds" which is picking which kind of roll wins. Someone picks whether they want evens or odds and based on whether the number is even or odd, means whoever has the winning number type wins, and it also means only one person has to roll

[@JustAskJake]

I wouldn't have chance to try any of those things because my experience with hourglass (100+ servants, 50+ guardians) is I'll be sniped to death from some guy named 'ImAHackerLOL' on his ship named 'OnlyBans' or some such. That aside I've never seen one of your videos before and this is brilliant; I applaud your dedication and comedy!

[@pfand-leiher3365]

Hey Pixel, there is actuall a way to gain alliance without fighting!! It called treasure grade and can be obtained for example by making the 2 seaforts under plunder outpost. -Finish both 2 times and lay the loot on the elevator. Or optional in a harpoon rowboat. -when you have it done, swear alligance to who ever you want. -then dock the rowboat with all the loot to your ship - go to a outpost and vote as soon you got in the island marker zone for „invade“ (this prevents you from beeing attacked) -then wait about 10 minutes and vote for alligance out And BOOM you got alligance without a fight! 😜🤙🏻 This is a mechanic from the devs to give us players a way to gain alligance in a future time where the player number very low or even 0. 😁

[@mrkitloin]

1. the rep gained from this is super low and not worth it, losing a battle gets more xp and takes less time 2. You can still be invaded at outposts

[@pfand-leiher3365]

@@mrkitloin Ahoy, it’s about all about the thumbnail Titel of the Video, „Level up without fighting“ I’m on Athena level 112 and on reaper on 67 just trough invading. It would took ages with this method but it’s doable. Like I said, it’s a method the devs implemented for times where the player numbers doing battles are super low up to 0. Edit: And if you vote for invade and you in an island zone you Can’t be invaded 😁

[@mrkitloin]

@@pfand-leiher3365 you sound like you’ve done this before, how much rep does a grade 5 hourglass even give?

[@pfand-leiher3365]

@@mrkitloin if you mean treasure grade 5 on Board it’s like 1,5 battles won when you got a Max emesary flag up before you vote it out. if you mean a 5-Sink strike you vote out it’s like 1/2 Level from where im now with Athena alligance 🤙🏻 i tested it a couple of times, go for a aktiv hourglass hunt is way quicker for leveling that’s right. On one point in the future the waiting times will be a lot longer and this method will be maybe the only way to get the the curses, I speak from a 5-10 years perspective ⏳

[@gluesandwhich3371]

thats actually pretty in-genius, I've played the game for years but I still suck at pvp, ive watched all the "become a MASTER at pvp etc." videos but besides cool tricks It hasn't really helped much. My usual trick is either, wait and get lucky- then blow them up. or, start a conversation and stall until I get lucky enough to win out of boring them out of their minds or just making them forget about them sinking,
