From 0 to 1 MILLION Gold in Sea of Thieves
Just in time for Season 12 and the release of Sea of Thieves on PS5, I decided to bring you my attempt at a Beginners Guide for 2024. Amidst many tips & tricks, I am going to teach you how to make your first fortune!
That's right. All the best gold farming methods that I recommend new players try out to make money FAST. Well, as fast as you can reasonably expect a new player to do it.
Farming gold can be a dangerous proposition because of the ever existing threat of PvP. Of course, playing on the high seas, this story will feature such gameplay and ways that I would recommend you can work around to try and give yourself the edge as you improve.
So fasten your pouches and raise your anchor because it is time for tips, tricks and a lot of gold.

Hey I don't know if you still check these but can you make an announcement in your next vid about how steam deck players can use proximity chat, please it would be much appreciated!

"Ledge the Tale Dude" (We have Clif the Story Guy at home) Perfect

[@elgamingpizza2787]

masterpiece

[@ebonezra8073]

Just a heads up for any new players: the example of play in this video doesn't specifically take into account his experience. He mentions it during bailing, but even his aim, his movement in combat, his micro-decisions with regards to where he drops loot for later (eg: all from the bowsprit, or on a rock for harpooning). These are techniques you'll learn only with experience, but keep heart. A lot of quality of life changes have been made since its inception, so take your lumps when they come and don't fall in love with your loot. While learning, dumb things will cost you your haul, and you may feel hopeless. Some may seem out of your hands (a skelly galleon is not as simple to scuttle when you don't know how to aim cannons), and others may feel unfair (a player one-balling you in the face only to sink your ship while waiting to load in). It's a sandbox, and there's plenty of sand to play in (pun intended). Feel empowered to scuttle to a new server if you see a Reapers Bones ship or you're being relentlessly chased. Depending on how fast you learn and develop these winning techniques, it may take you a lot longer to reach 1mil gold. That's okay - there's no achievement associated with it except the bragging rights. Sea of Thieves is equal parts danger and wonder, and if you get caught up in the lore, the emergent possibilities, and the thrill of the best ocean and ship management in the world (my opinion), you'll find hours upon hours of enjoyment. And finally, you don't have to do it all yourself. You don't even need friends, but what Ledge didn't show you is at the top of your (main) mast, is a flag box. On the second page is a "Friendship" flag that, when flown next to another ship flying the same flag, will group you in a (however temporary) alliance. You can still be killed by them so don't drop your guard completely, but you may enjoy what's known as a server-wide alliance from time to time. This is when all ships band together yet still playing separately. Any gold made by any ship in the alliance is shared with the rest of the alliance. It's not super common (happened twice in about 1500 hours), but it's lucrative and "safe." It's a sandbox, after all, so be ready for anything. Welcome to the Sea of Thieves, and become more pirate!

[@Fishystyxx]

@ebonezra8073 question, with the alliance flags, does it take a cut out of your earnings? Or does everyone involved get the full amount?

[@ProjectLaughing-t4u]

​@@Fishystyxx You’ll get the 100% but the person you’re alliance With will only get a cut of it. There is no consequence to alliancing other than The fact they could constantly see where you are for a sneaky kill to betray The Alliance. Does that awnser your question?

[@Fishystyxx]

Making 1 million gold in 2018 was one hell of a milestone. Now it's meh

[@CliffTheStoryGuy]

Being gatekeeper-y about it really doesn't help anyone. Older players take for granted how much gold they have in their pockets but new players are starting their journeys every day and collecting their first fortune is a big deal to many of them. Downplaying it only cause "back in my day it was harder" is kind of shitty

[@SocksyyAU]

@@CliffTheStoryGuy You're right, it was shitty of me to say it in that way. Didn't mean for it to come across in that sense, just comparing then and now with all the added gold income bonuses. Items to match the increased income were added such as the DA sets etc etc
