as someone who works 50-60 hours a week i’ve given up on trying to be competitive right away as some of y’all have no fucking life…

[@apps9129]

I have a couple hours to play every week. I thought this was a coop chill pirate game. Only to realize I literally have nothing to do in the game now because I can’t dedicate my life to pixels, not to mention missing out on all the rewards.

[@eractnia7819]

@@apps9129 yeah i didn’t think it would be this hard to find people to play the game with but as a low infamy kingpin i feel useless as everyone else is already running meta builds or they’re brand new to the game. and no one wants to join my group😂

[@KSIAmaterasu]

I also work 50-60 hours a week and can't possibly get close to the leaderboards because of it.. saw someone do a helm wager for 306k and he had 6 people protecting him

[@a_green_snake6451]

"Your only making 4.5K a day with the weaker stuff..." I'm totally fine with that. This game is not the best, and I don't want to dedicate myself to it.

[@eg6853]

God forbid the devs would ever allow us to use our other ships and build a fleet to use for admin runs to pick up supplies instead of making the "end game" little more than a delivery driver.

[@NinjaNerosis]

Thank you, ive gone through several videos and yours is the only one with reasonable information on what i was looking for...i already kinda fucked up, dumped way to much in the upgrade list and upgrading each node slowly but surely lol but given the info on trade routes and how they affect the nodes puts it all into perspective

[@atzberger1]

by the time you get all your factories to lvl 6-7 (in red isles and some in africa) the roi for the empire management upgrades is crazy

[@justinwalker4952]

Thank You for making this video. Keep them coming!!!

[@catrionasloanei6847]

This is only half the truth the top players are cheesing the system saving up all their coins getting into lobbies with no other kingpins and doing the helm wagers to make 100K+ coins a run. I mean the leaderboard is pretty much pointless at this point you will never get into the top slots because of it, and I have seen friends funneling coins with this method up to 60K of coins per chest per player dropping it for a friend. The fact is fast travel needs to be disabled in PVP and so does grouping. I had two goofballs try to trap me in a river I faked one out into a fast-travel and led him away so he couldn't do it again, and then killed the other outside the delivery port. I caution everyone to do the leaderboards for the rewards of sovereigns NOT the cosmetics.

[@HatredLLC]

I think stamina items need a lot longer cool down, you can outrun anyone in helm wagers so it doesn't really matter if it's a full lobby of low levels or kingpins

[@JaydenXprod]

i’m top 35 and i don’t do this

[@alanlam128]

@@JaydenXprodHow many pieces of eight you made？

[@catrionasloanei6847]

@@alanlam128 230K majority came from non-helm wagers.

[@catrionasloanei6847]

@@JaydenXprod Right, means instead you take part most likely in the most unbalanced PVP ever designed where groups of friends can form two teams to work in tandem to make a helm wager a 5v1. It's not fun, it's not competitive, and the leaderboard is a joke with many friends stroking each other gaming egos. The game promotes the most toxic part of PVP to achieve and stay on the leaderboard lmfao.

Great stuff mate. Thank you. You are fast becoming my go-to guy for all Skull and Bones

[@tact1calshot989]

3:17 that’s a visual bugg we all ready crunched math, it says way lower than what ur actually producing an hour, ubi is working on it

[@Lockeedman]

So, going off of the routes logic, in theory, is Tanjona the best place to upgrade in Red Isle?

[@JaydenXprod]

i’ve maxed every upgrade in the helm except for indies and it is worth it

[@MrScrumbee]

Yea Africa is the way to Pices of Eight, took me a bit before i had some ideas aboute it. But yea upgrade that thing to lvl 10 and boost it with Jupiter berrys and you be swimming in coins in no time. But empire mangment upgrades are important, the Efficicent Shipping upgrade is amazing and wil make your income sky rocket. So if you are starting out Focus on building up Tanjona and Palisade Bay on Red Isle, this du to fact you can use sugarcane and opium to boost your income on those early on. Not the best by far but wil make it quicker to unlcok more upgrades and Africa and once that happends there are better places to focus on for more income.

[@VlZZl]

y tanjona and palisade. there r other manufacturies that also take sugar cane

[@cranky6988]

good thing is that lvl 9 is founded for 1 day and 5 hours, and one of the best place to upgrade on Red isle is Tanjona, coz when you take africa it will connect with Harufu and Bandari

[@Yannick-lr6kn]

What‘s the max level for the manufactories? Like 10?

[@Nadiah22]

Do you think its ok stop at lv 6 in each one after the 1k coins upgrade and eventually upgrade the rest?

[@sa8149]

Supply run only runs for 17 minutes for me. So you're saying to go to the outpost every 17 minutes to start supply run?

[@primopainkiller]

Same question, idk how it works, it’s so boring to re supply every 20 mins and hunt for those goods

[@apps9129]

Why is this a full time job? I enjoyed the game right until the end game like wtf. What’s this leaderboard shit?

[@ijoemomma123]

how do you deliver things to your locations? i see where it says deliver 200 X but I don't see an option to give it to them or what delivering it does

[@alexparker1911]

U have to actually put it on your ship it can't be in the warehouse. then interact with the factory, and it'll say supply run

[@legationXI]

i am as well 2000-2400 (after working nightshifts 24hs) atm 2400 again.. i pushed several things to 6.. but u convinced me as reddit go for that town.. i bought the last ship and wasted coins on spool as well.. so just go for one upgrading.. than feed it.. go for the haru town.. sailing around geta really repetitiv but i am stuckes there now😅

why sometimes it is showing true making per hour like 50/h and for me most of the time it is 20/h even on lvl.1 or lvl. 6 factory

Do all of our helm upgrades and factory things reset when season 1 starts? If so I’m gunna wait to upgrade anything.

So the only way to get the sovereign coins is by farming gold ? Or how else can I get sovereign coins ?? Thanks

[@SwoleBenji]

That's the only way so far.

[@randysing3288]

Climb the leaderboard charts. It has tiers that when you achieve each one for weekly or seasonal you get a specified number of sovereign coins. Leaderboard goes off of your pieces of 8 collected.

[@jessehudson9566]

Which place should I level up in the Red Isle? Before harufu?

[@ThinkingCap_]

The area that gets 30% is really the only viable one. South of St Anne. You can get the other ones east of it too if you want but only raise them to level 4-5. Save up 5K and get African and Hurufu and Jiwe :)

I feel like the whole thing is rigged for the top players because they got the places first got the better weapons with the pieces of 8 and if you try to expand your empire they come and kill you in a few hits here i am maxed out on everything except items through pieces of 8 which i cant obtain. The delivery method is ridiculous i had 17 ships follow me and i was at the dropoff point and it took me over an hr to kill them before it would let me land. Im pretty much stuck right now since i cant progress because i have to do pvp i might end up quitting the game its pointless
