Skull and Bones Pieces of Eight How to Get Them FAST - Pieces of Eight Skull and Bones Tips

[@NOTnightowl]

I implore you all to invest every piece of right you earn back into leveling up manufacturies. You can turn a once an hour trip into a once per day quite quickly… which is nice considering it’s annoying if you are doing a trip once per hour. You also increase both supplied times as well as capacity. Every night before I log off I fund every manufactury and every day I log in to roughly 5k pieces of eight. DO NOT WASTE WHAT LITTLE YOU HAVE ON ANYTHING BUT FURTHERING YOUR ILL GOTTEN GAINS. It’s a complete waste and doing it this way you will own everything in that store within a week.

Best comment, better advice than the video itself

[@Forgotten_Remnant]

Hello…I would like to ask for advice on it. I currently have palside bay at lvl8 since it has the most trade routes, and plan to make sitrana, shijavu and harufu lvl 7-8 so I can just make a straight line to sainte-Anne’s.. tyvm for your time

[@HighNoonTex]

Is it as simple as just upgrading the manufacturing locations on the map, or do I have to upgrade stuff from the book in the Helm office as well?

[@gecko2.617]

Also a bonus point for the Legendary Heists is, that it allways has a good chance to also give you a nice equipment (cannons, armor, etc.) I got the royal armor thing twice in the last 2 days for example and I only participated 4 or 5 times in those heists.

[@dannystratyys4002]

Wrong on losing the po8! You just have to go back to where you died and pick up your cargo thats floating in the water where you died. Your po8 will be with the cargo.

Really enjoying the game at the minute, nowhere near kingpin rank yet just sailing around trying to get mats so u can build the ships and weapons, can’t see me spending much time in the PvP endgame though, I’ll stick to PvE once I’m there

[@DerekTheRed]

It's really not full on pvp for each area any more. The biggest pvpers were blowing that sht up early on but they've moved on since they collected most of the locations. Now it's almost pve all the time, at least for these manufactories anyway.

[@Born2Game]

I’m glad you’re enjoying the game and you can do the endgame just PvE, there’s never a time when you’re forced into PvP which is one of the many things I love about this game 👍

For the Legendary Heist, it rolls a random manufactory every time and if you already own it, you can’t join the even and it won’t show up.

[@gecko2.617]

yeah, it will only show up for you, if you can actually get a manufactory out of it.

Thats not true. I did the heist once when it wasnt on the map. I couldnt accept the quest to do it but i saw him there and someone else was killin him so i joined in on killin him and i got the purple ship armor. Didnt get any manyfactory tho since i couldnt accept the quest.

Tip to get loads of pieces of 8 fast Do a supply run to get all your pieces of 8, on the 2nd to last/last factory join the double or nothing event. If u dont get the event sit afk docked somewhere and redo the supply run until ur met with double or nothing event. Complete the event and enjoy 2-6k pieces of eight in one run

[@Born2Game]

That’s a really good strategy but what if another player sinks you while you have that many pieces of eight on you because the double event is PvP?

[@terrylandess6072]

The legendary heists do a good job IMO of feeding the player useful locations without any possibility of PVP if they prefer to avoid it. The silver needed can put one in a bind so I was happy to slowly acquire and build my 'empire' this way and am only one location short of completing the Red Isle zone with every place lvl2 (besides my main sub-zone) to keep my sanity. Instead of feeling inclined to dump most Po8 into this affair I've gone about outfitting 2 ships already for variety and as a new player (2 weeks) it'll be awhile before I get the Duroburos (sp?) because the game loves timers.

[@snaves4]

I'd like to see them either lower the enemy ship frequency or ship level a smidge. When you go collecting the 8s level 10s just dog pile you and the game just becomes a high speed chase to survive. The update yesterday may have changed that but I haven't played it after the update

[@Mjolonir12]

Feels better today. And no death mark spam.

[@snaves4]

I find it no better. Level 10 rogues still sitting right out side SA and spawning all over. Plus theres less takeover opportunities so its forcing PvP or the heists are filling up before I can enter them. This might be what kills it for me

I've seen them spawn in the rivers but not traveling them

Dear channel , Your thoughts , get to 5k pieces of 8 , buy the samba , then start investing into the manufacturing upgrades , ( my concern is loosing all the manufactoring camps and upgrades at season reset ). Or invest in manufacturing to get pieces of 8. Quicker then buy the samba ?

[@Born2Game]

I bought the sambuk and now I’m levelling up my manufactories so they produce pieces of eight faster then I can get all the upgrades after

[@michaelbelanger3373]

New sub here.. Bit of advice for any new kingpin... Lvl up your helm left side asap then move to Empire Management asap (that shit is expensive lol). Do helm wagers and join them (worth it in the end). Upgrade red isle factories to lvl 8+ before getting anything else.. A few lvl 10s will supply you enough for awhile and will help upgrade your helm

[@Ghost-bq7gk]

I will say at the lower kingpin infamy ranks you fly through it pretty fast but when you get to kingpin lvl 19+ it drags out Also if you upgrade your factories to all like lvl 3,4,5 you don’t have to wait that long for them to be full and you get a higher payout as well I would suggest partying up with ppl or friends to help you if you are doing a big run so you are guaranteed to make it back to the den.

I don't know about the co-op heist events man. I tried 5 times yesterday...had no problem sinking the boss ship (even solo) but the NPCs that spawn to take you out would one-shot me. I am running a level 10 Brig with decent armor though admittedly not the best end game armor (i just don't have the time right now to farm the best stuff like that). I did find though that the hostile takeover events often had no participants. So for one i sailed near it waited until a few seconds countdown then joined the event. I was the only participant and took it over easily. Maybe i was in a dead server at the time...I'll just keep an eye out for that situation going forward.

[@mr_glitter]

After killing the boss you should have an eye on the sharpshooters. These are the small ships with these weakpoint fins on the side. They do incredible damage alown and are spawned in as a double for twice the fun. Don‘t fight these enemies as they‘re also tanky if spawned from the event. My best tactic is to simply sail as fast as possible to Saint Anne. Always keep grilled food in your ship storage!

[@robertkarp2070]

Move from a class 3 ship and get a class 5 ship. It makes a huge difference, even if you use the exact same weapons and armor on the class 5 as you have on your brig right now. With a class 5, you can just run over the little merchant ships without firing a shot and sink them and take no damage to yourself with level 2 scaling armor and instead of two cannons each side, you'll have three cannons and if you can get an auxiliary weapon for the middle, gives you an extra strong attack.

[@Wompshrimp7274]

how do you get the other currency? not the paid one but the ones used to buy the Caliban set

[@Born2Game]

The caliban set costs pieces of eight and this video shows you how to earn them. If it’s not pieces of eight it will be sovereigns which are earned by collecting pieces of eight and moving up the leaderboards (I believe you get 350 sovereigns for collecting your first 10,000 pieces of eight)

[@Born2Game]

I totally agree 👍

[@robertkarp2070]

People who hate the game just fall into the category that no matter what they do, you can't make everyone happy. Some think there should be more swashbuckling. What they don't understand is that the developers have only so much data they can use to produce a game for console use, so there's trade off. Skull and Bones put emphasis and shipboard mechanics, rather than hand to hand combat. I've played games with the hand to hand combat and they don't have much activity towards ship development and weapon mechanic, just basics. So no matter what they do, there's always going to be someone that's not happy. In order to do the swashbuckling, the game would probably have to do away with all the trade route activities as described in the video.

[@kiddfaz]

This is one of the biggest complaints I've had with the game, the collection process of pieces of eight. It's sooooo time consuming once you have a lot of manufactories.
