  • I used to think that open crew was stupid until I met this guy who has been amazing. I have stacked over 40 fotds with him and leveled up my pvp faction incredibly. Use open crew!
  • @tinyproxy8387
    I feel as though deleting pirate shouldn't delete event items that we're earned through limited time. I did the same thing as you. In which I deleted my pirate, and didn't know the outcome. I lost my launch gear too :(. Very informative video!
  • @lionelking
    Submit a Ticket to Rare Support... i did that... delete my OG pirate for a new one and i asked to get my Launch Crew Eye of Reach and got Day 1 eye patch!
  • @jamesburns4932
    These are awesome tips, just about to start my journey on ps5 so the info on all these features is a big help.
  • @Fluxicity
    As a PL, I agree with your advice. Deciding on what appeals to you early on helps to focus. No harm in doing whatever takes your fancy but there is a lot of content these days. Also, putting gunpowder in the crows nest is an old habit for many, before the mast was able to be downed. It kinda makes sense for newer players but yeah, don't do it! Bowsprit is best. Good video, Jon šŸ‘

    So Jon, as an experienced player there is a way to force spawn a megalodon, after doing fort of the dammed, whether its 1 or 100, after exiting the islands borders and enter the open sea a megalodon will spawn, I have had this happen every time. There is also another way to force spawn a megalodon by simply sitting in the shores of gold for 30 minutes, and after waiting sail back to the open sea and a megalodon will spawn. Having the meg spawn at random is a whole lot less time consuming and less dangerous

    The PL Hideout trick doesn't just work for Stormfish. If there's a Skeleton Fleet, you can get Battlegills.
  • Iā€™m just getting into sea of thieves this helped so much thank you
  • @mattblack9161
    Hey if you grab fireworks some of them will scare or summon wildlife and can draw nearby skeleton ships to your location in a pinch. I JUST used one to set fire to a galleon and rope a skele sloop into a fight with them too
  • @Lathburn
    i think it would be cool if weather or not you have your lanterns lit are remembered on captained ships similar to how how they handle rowboats now
  • @Canadiansalt
    Insane video. I learned a lot from being a player that started in 2019šŸ˜‚ thanks for all these helpful tips !
  • @mikehunt9884
    skeleton ships will often spawn directly on you, well, ive seen it often in safer seas, i dunno if its like that on open though. Maybe they did it to compensate for the lack of other ppl trying to sink you
  • @CaptainHubz
    I dream of being able to make transitions this smooth wtf
  • @TheGreenSupreme
    Number ONE combat tip. STAY CALM AND DO NOT PANIC. When i was a swabby i would immediately lose my cool, get frustrated, and play right into my opponents hands. The boarders main objective is to drop ur anchor. So you absolutely need to guard it against any enemies. The boarder will "run the route" on ur ship. This means they will run below deck back to top deck back below and so on. Do not chase the boarder! When you are chasing you are at the disadvantage as the boarder is controlling your movement. On a sloop if you are unable to stop the boarding process, sit back and let the boarder run all over your deck. Guard your anchor and he will have to attempt to get by you. This will give you an opportunity to get a shot in with your firearm then finish with sword. I understand theres a lot of nuances and circumstances i didnt address and im unwilling to detail them all. However, at this point i have 40 days in game and i have fought and lost many battles to learn what ive learned. Ignore my number one rule at your own peril.
  • @BORN_EVIL
    Is it possible to start a new game with a full crew of friends or do we all need to get to a certain point? Also, how is loot shared when playing with friends or is it not?
  • @AmbroseBoaBowie
    I can assure you, the Brig is faster than the sloop against the wind. Not only their video proving this. But from countless hours of experience, if you know what youā€™re doing on the brig, and how to manage sales properly. You can absolutely catch up to the sloop against the wind.
