The difficult part isn't the fotd its the players, here you were facing very low new people but just because they have more players they stand a chance

[@ToAsTaHPoP]

Bro you should've seen the stream, it got crazy for a bit.

[@dartrunner]

He said this within the first 10 seconds of the video

[@ArtlessFool]

Even though that’s correct, it’s the wrong way to approach anything in this game. The players are always the real challenge.

[@Basement-Ogre]

@@ArtlessFool That's why it's important to learn how to do FOTD and world events fast. Clear them fast before another crew thinks to check it out.

[@ianbelletti6241]

Just about every time I decide to do an FOTD I get attacked. I've finished my FOTD achievements anyway.

[@erictsoutherland]

I've been playing for a handful of months and watched many gamers and their SoT content and dude you are by far my favorite and the best IMO. Thanks for all you do.

And it still works !

[@zuzmw]

@@aelegriniv1649yep, definitely, except I find you get attacked more nowadays

[@julesmartin6972]

I attempted FotD once. Within no time I got attacked by an enemy brig. By the time I got back, 3 crews were fighting over the island.

[@SenateWelfare]

And that is why I’ll say the joker line from dark knight “and here we go” every time we activate a fotd😂

[@grillo_419]

Still accurate

[@OliverMurphy-eh4hs]

I remember the 1st time I attempted fotd. I was always afraid to do it because of other players but I finally decided to do it. Sure enough I got attacked before I even finished the 5th wave but this guide should help me clear it and get the hell out of there a lot faster thx

[@omarmora7595]

Thank you man I am a new returning Player last I played was during season 1 just joined your discord to make friends and have lovely adventures thank you

[@mubii69]

What a good guide man I really cannot believe it's just that simple

[@yrequiemy1975]

You can also one shot the boss with kegs without using the wall exploit (only works if you stack) : once the first fort finished "normally", you keep the kegs present in the vault and put them on the right lantern inside, take one regular keg out of the pile and put it upstairs (the main hall) at the far right of the room. Do the fort and when it comes to the boss wave, simply blow the regular keg wich will set all of them downstairs. There's one drawback : you need to protect the regular keg in the hall during the fort, avoid making it explode

[@SmokNord69Nic]

why not just kill a keg skeleton and use that keg?

[@codyknight3580]

@@SmokNord69Nic Because if you try that, you risk blowing up the keg itself, which in turn could set off the keg stack in the vault.

[@brocoh_]

This guy is the only sea of thieves player that actually looks like a pirate.

[@DMiTree]

Rare has changed a lot since this video, now they made it to where the islands that you're looking for are usually a lot closer and you can also just start voyages from the quest table on your ship. No need to go all the way to ghost Santa and pay doubloons.

[@Swift41]

I've watch your videos for the first time yesterday and the way you explain everything make it, so anyone can understand thanks for the videos

[@bryin7]

Haha i love the irony of him trying to make an evergreen guide, and the first step is to buy captain voyages

[@MRobijn]

Next to the glitched spot for the kegs, there is a little some kind of mini cave, where you can normally place the kegs, so you can still 1 tap Graymarrow

[@poopfunny1884]

Ye but then it still has the problem of someone tucking and stealing said kegs

[@MRobijn]

honestly thankyou man, its 4 in the morning and you just helped me complete my very first ever fotd, and ive been playing for a long time

[@peeuw]

used this strat to stack 4 forts. took me 1 hour. had to sink 4 ships during the time of doing the fort. the second we finish the last fort and start putting it into our ship, these 2 fat pirates come hooning down on a sloop with their shrouded ghost titles (evidence they've completely bummed out the game) and just absolutely slaughtered us. me and my friend have a combined 800 hours.

[@bloodybladenum1920]

if you want to be cheap with your dubloons do skele fleet and do 1 skull of destiny use the ritual skulls from skele fleet first and use the destiny skull on the last stack

[@MaxKappa]

we did around 60 fort of the damned stacks in the past week and a half as a galleon with reaper emi up 80% of the time. we got contested around 2 times by crews (they were very bad). i wouldnt worry about timings.

[@ShakeyVaccy]

Would love to stack this event but yet to make it through even once without some ship sitting on the horizon waiting until we finish to come in for the steal. Trying to move all the loot solo from the vault and get it on the ship is just so damn slow and leaves way too much time in which you are walking with the goods and can't keep an eye out the way you can with even one other player helping. That first success should feel pretty sweet wehn it finally happens though :D

[@KnightBanditDayZ]

I dont do this fort bec risk and time cut into potential profits and the Reaper's chest suck. But you can put all your loot on a cliff, so you can harpoon it. Its a lot faster.

[@ok10469]

@@KnightBanditDayZ still way too slow there are like 25 pieces of loot in there.

You can get harpoon boat and use harpoon boat to bring loot right next to reapers trader at repears hideout

[@Un-motivated]

Managed to get a fort of fortune all to myself last night at like 2 am. Was delightful. Another spawned after I finished mine and there were two galleons on it. I got extremely lucky it would seem

[@Manyfy1]

Thanks bro i am glad to try this out for myself thanks 😊

[@generalgrievous1719]

Crazy about his point is using strategy that’s consistent is I’m learning how to do this stuff 10 months after this was made and it’s still relevant

[@flintb5291]

5:00 placing them inside rock still works.. i think it is a game feature by now :D

[@TuckHawk]

9 months later and multiple seasons later, I can confirm. Keg wall still 100% works

[@cjmarsh9494]

He’s absolutely right about the lines in the compass to follow. I had a compass do the same thing for the sunken curse voyage. I was at the shrine of hungering. . It lead me across the whole map to the shrine of oceans fortune 😭

[@kase757]

The sunken curse voyage takes you to the same shrines every time because unfortunately its pre-determined. Why Rare chose to make you sail across the map 3 times? Ya no idea

[@BR0KENmyB0NES]

You make it look so easy Im currently on 6/50 completions for the commendation, I have attempted maybe 35-40 a few have been taken after completion which im not salty about but the rest ive have it running for no more then 10min before i have every boat on the server come for it. 90% of these were before the SOD existed and took ages to get all the lights. I also didnt know that the SOD acted like your lantern to make them vunerable, I thought it was just to ignite the lanterns and to start the fort so will be definitly trying afew more aagiin soon.

[@yousefmerchak532]

If you don't care about the money you can just tuck on the island until the fort finishes and you'll get the commendation

[@jimmyrodriguez5670]

I love these longer videos.

[@HomingRocket1]

I dont think ritual skulls are useless. They can be used instead of Skulls of Destiny and you can easily get them from skeleton fleets. So if you have like 3, you can use the skull of destiny elsewhere and use the skulls for activating the FotD

[@MacTavishG]

another tip to remove stress is skeletons with guns can’t explode kegs, only melee ones.

[@IamTheWordofGod]

That's bs lmfao I was carrying a keg and got annihilated by a gun skele kuz he blew it up they just can't blow up each other's

[@LukTheKing]

Bro the one time I do this no one shows up and after I’ve sold all my stuff a galleon shows up and sinks me

[@BrosefStalin42]

Always more a matter of others. Was on a galleon, only had two contest our FoFs or FOTD the other night. Was very profitable. The two contesting (a sloop first, then a brig) weren't the best. Need nights of easy wins to bounce back from the usual camp and sink of those usually better than us once things are done.

[@carlosr.kaiser1871]

Nice guide. The ship's name is golden, too

In your opinion what’s the best way of getting the doubloons u need to buy the voyages

[@ejferguson10]

Thanks to you we have a lot of pirates trying to stack FOTDs....

[@ItsCoderDan]

the trick is keeping the treasure in the vault. that way if you get interrupted the players don’t get shit from you and they will have to complete the fort to access the treasure you touched this allows you to sink and fight them without worry and if you do sink you can always come back and sink them while they are completing the fort also tip if you didn’t know, it tells you “ treasure donated” once an enemy player, touches your loot

[@WZRankedSpankedKD]

few things you missed, you can stack the loot behind the vault door so no one can see it through the floor, they just think it’s one fort

[@xmars3623]

[@N3WH0R1Z0NS]

I feel like I get the philosophy of having a guide and trying to teach a method that isn't patched but this is a sandbox game that's ever changing and there's no guarantee anything will stay the same. I.e all old FOTD guides are obsolete since the update. And making new content to address that is apart of it, Is ok.

You should expect pvp at the fotd and people get pretty mad when you run from a fight hence the spawn camping

He sat there at the fort for who-knows-how-long going over all of this while announcing to the whole server he was there with a reaper flag. Not wise. It gave everyone else, at minimum, 10 minutes advance warning that someone was about to start the fort.

he'd potentially get attacked even if he wasn't flying reaper's bones since you can see the Fort skulls from almost Any outpost and figure out it's probably the FotD skull by checking compass and map.
