SEA OF THIEVES ... For Noobs

Sea of Thieves is an open world pirate game that has been around for a while, but since it's finally on Playstation, I felt it was a good time to cover it in this episode of "For Noobs!"

[@Fppiq]

Useful tip: When exiting your boat to get to an Island (or to get to an enemy pirates ship) instead of swimming you can do this trick: jump onto the edge of the ship then pull out your sword, guard, then use your charge attack, and right before your character lunges jump for a huge boost of momentum in the sea. It really helps with getting from location to location

[@InfernoTune727]

as a pirate legend, welcome. do not trust any man on the seas. but a sliver tounge will be very helpful on your journeys. for example: me and a friend were clearing a fort of fortune and sank a Brig. i was Spawncamping them for 2 minutes and their Ship Sank. then, another sloop approaches and we pull them away from the fort for a fight. then the brigantine dives up right next to the sloop we are fighting and starts shooting at them. unbenounced to us, that brig was the same one i just sank. after they sank the other sloop i went over on a rowboat and started negotiating and got an agreement with them. only after we founded an alliance did we recognize eachother after a laugh and a gg, our enemies were now our allies. ALWAYS, try to let your silver tounge convince the enemy. and if that don't work, use a gun. ALSO: the best spot to store Kegs is on another players ship with a lit fuse. never leave one on your own ship.

[@wolfhunted7702]

Some tips for new players: Dont keep yourself anchored instead raise all your sails as you come into a island or drop the anchor, raise the sails and then raise the anchor. This lets you make a quick getaway incase of trouble and saves you from having to raise the anchor if you get ambushed Once you get level 15 in any faction you can buy the right to use a emissary flag for that faction. This lets you get up to a 2.5x gold and exp bonus for loot from that faction depending on its rank which increases by getting that factions loot on your ship However be mindful that tier 5 reapers emissary's can see all other emissary ships on their map so it comes with risks If your playing with friends try and give certain people rolls on the ship like a captain to steer, someone to bucket water and repair, someone to shoot cannons and someone who does whatever is needed in the moment As for the ships the fewer sails a ship has the more maneuverable they are and faster when going against the wind but the more sails means your faster with the wind at the cost of maneuverability Sloop is a good place to learn the basics but dont ever try and go solo on a galleon as many things like the anchor and sails and designed to be used by multiple people and are really slow solo Lastly as for weapons cutless are consistent and gives alot of mobility however if your feeling daring you could try and use double guns which is best for pvp but takes more skill to be effective with 1 last tip if you see a mermaid in the water and none of your teammates are in the water then it is someone elses mermaid and that person is most likely trying to board you so watch the ladders and dont let them on board or they could drop your anchor and immobilise you for awhile

As a pirate legend that's over 100 in every faction besides pvp, the most important thing to know is that you cannot trust ANYONE, no exceptions.

[@Kingkong-gy5qt]

As an ark legend who has never played this game I completely agree with you.

[@370zenjoyer8]

[@comfortparty]

This game is honestly so magical. I remember when I was 12 years old, which I first picked this game up. I originally joined a crew with a bunch of older adults who treated me like wasted trash. I decided to stay because they were pretty powerful, but as I spent time with them, I grew with them like a pirate on the crew. Our last moment together was sitting on a rock, on this small little island, where we watched the sunset after raiding so many vessals. It was beautiful, and I would’ve chose to hate the group, to only find my companionship with these scallywaggers again any day.

[@SmileyFaceCentral]

Started playing this game last weekend and my only words be: ARRRRR HOIST THE ANCHOR AND SET SAIL FOR ADVENTURE

[@feeblebee5031]

Quick tp for new players this is a *PVPVE* game meaning at least on the high seas any player can attack any player, even when your in a "Alliance". Rare has failed to properly advertise this and I often find players who think that stealing, betraying, sinking, double gunning, boarding, and spawnkilling are breaking some rule. remember that *treasure is not yours until you sell it* Also side note imo reaching pirate legend is this games tutorial. *Welcome to the seas swabbies!*

[@ShonDawn420]

Been playing for 4 almost five years and this game never gets old😂😂

[@fired_]

tip for people who want some pvp practice: theres a game mode called hourglass, which is accessed from the quest table of your ship. There are two factions: the servants of the flame, which is the reapers faction, and the gaurdians of fortune, which is athenas faction. when you vote for it, you can be invaded by a ship of same size and crew size as you to fight with borders so you cannot run. once you sink their ship, you gain xp towards that faction and a streak begins. you can also vote to dive using the war map to invade and fight other crews. lowering your streak will give you even more xp, but if you sink once you will lose it. another way to get xp is to sell their flag, if it is a reaper flag or athena flag. as well as some amazing pvp practice, you can work towards 2 of the most prestigious and coolest curses in the game, the blessing of athenas fortune and the skeleton curse. if you choose to fight for the servants of the flame, you will get the skeleton curse once you reach level 100, and if you fight for the guardians of fortune, you will get the ghost curse once you reach level 100. its a hell of a grind so be ready for it. the ghost curse will make your pirate look like the pirate lord or the phantoms around the sea of thieves, and the skeleton curse will turn you into a skeleton with tons of exclusive cosmetics and bone colors and types that are unlocked by getting commendations or more xp. (you can also become a golden skeleton or a golden ghost once you reach level 1000 for each, but few take that long grind.) hope this helps any ps5 players or new players, and keep in mind it will be difficult at first because the players on hourglass are usually pretty good, but it will help a ton in the long run (im now about to get the skeleton curse and i went from a 1/6 win ratio to about a 5/6 trust me you will get so much better at pvp.

Also dont forget to stop the grind to have fun. My favorite thing to do is going to a fort, loading up with kegs, finding a parked ship that's not paying attention and loading it down with kegs. I then make them take me on a joyride if they wanna live.

I have to say the PvP aspect of the game was very cool because we did not have the klunky Gunplay in the start, there was a mechanic called "quick swap" which made the gunplay very satisfying And I as an formal Apex Player have to say that the movement in SOT is awesome. Once u get in PvP and the 1000 movement mechanicw u will be amazed how deep the PvP aspect of this game goes

[@purplerose2024]

Love you macro ❤

[@Lincolnjuly292]

Bro it been years since I watched this legend and im happy I remembered him

[@Tharrilicious]

As a 4000 hrs + mostly solo player, I can confirm that the Game is great for solo as it is for playing with friends. While solo, its harder, but its not impossible to win against a 4 man galleon crew. And the best I like is, that everything is just cosmetic and that you, the player gets better, not the character youre playing with. And I LOVE fishing! "Legendary Hunter Of The Sea Of Thieves" was one of the hardest grinds I've ever had in a Game, but it was fun! A few tipps and tricks: - In Open Seas (High Seas) you dont have to drop your anchor most of the time. Just raise the sails, and the ship will stop. Thats because, if you drop the anchor, you will be most likely stuck in a pvp situation and your enemies, won't let you raise your anchor back up, if they are decent! - Waves in the game, always come from the Northwest. So if youre sailing towards NW or W/NW, the ship does a slight turn towards left or right, depending if youre sailing W/NW or a bit more Eastside. So keep your hands or hooks on the steering wheel, while sailing towards these directions :D - Banana heals 20%, Coconut 30%, Pomegranade 40%, Mango 50% and Pineapple 100% per bite - Small Shark, Pork, Snake and Chicken heals 50% per bite and give a 25% overheal bonus, that activates if youre wounded and dont take damage for 10 seconds. - Try to not eat fish. Just sell them at the seaposts for hunters call, or if you own a Captaincy Ship, sell them at the sovereigns. So you dont have to catch those fish in the future. And some rare fish, like the Shadowstormfish, can give you between 6k-20k + gold, if cooked perfectly. - Firebombs are very effective against skeletons and phantoms. In PvP, firebombs are effective agains Galleon Crews, because the fire expands very fast on the biggest ship and you cause more chaos when there are 4 people than just one or two guys on a sloop. - Blunderbombs deal 50% damage if directly hitting a player and knocks them from their spot. If you shoot blunderbombs with cannons on a ship, you can alter the direction the ship is sailing, towards the middle of the map (sea dogs tavern). So if a ship wants to ram yours, just use the blunderbomb, and hope it does its job :) Sea of Thieves has very much depth, and I am very happy, that you going to learn and explore more and more of this beautiful world, this game has to offer! Have fun in Sea of Thieves, and Welcome to our family, dear PS5 players! Best regards - Tharri (sorry for my bad anglish tho, lol)

the absolute best part of the game is the sneaky or deceiving steals you can pull off on enemy crews. Awesome when you do it, not so awesome when it happens to you

I do a lot of things in the sea of thieves. Hunting an EXTREMELY rare megalodon. Singing shanties to pirates. Commendation hunting. And one of my favorite things: Sneak plays.

[@robogamer-it4pm]

Quick tip. Joining random crews can be either really fun or really annoying so if you can play with friends but if you can’t and you are bored then just have some fun, one time I joined a random crew and they insulted me and left. Another time I joined none of us spoke but we used text chat and we made about 300,000 in about an hour.

Dearest Macro, It is in my best interests to request that you create a motion-picture presentation on the subject of the second season within "The Finals".

[@Trex12x]

I had a friend group that was addicted to Sea of Thieves, it was really fun to play with them and all the jokes and laughs are things I sitll remember. I would never play this game alone, but with 4 people, there is few games that give a better multiplayer than this one in my opinion. 9/10 for me without a doubt.

[@Optional-Guy]

Best part for me of sea of thieves is just going out into the open ocean and just seeing what happens to me and my crew

Little tip me and my friend use We put a row boat on our sloop and a storage crate in it at all times This is so if our ship sinks one of us can collect all of the treasure and supplies after the ship sinks and we dont have to start pver

Some facts 1. get a captained captained ship as they are so convenient for selling as the allow you to sell everything to the sovereigns 2. if you anchor on a larger ship raise sails and anchor so if someone come to attack you can escape real quick

[@bigmemeog8221]

[@milkytea8122]

This game is by far one of my favorites, there's so much to do in the game I often times can't remember everything even with my playtime One thing I will say is the combat system, it is not as simple as it appears at first. The surface level mechanics are pretty easy to grasp but there are soo many tricks to it for people who want to put the time into learning it (none of it is super required if you just want a chill experience though). As you get more familiar with the combat it makes it feel much more rewarding, and fixes the sort of lacking feel of hand to hand combat especially if you learn to use a sword well or learn to double gun. Good luck to anyone trying this game out, there's something in this world for everyone to enjoy, just watch out for pirates!
