Hey man, I've noticed you've been struggling to find the bucket in the equipment menus, to pick the bucket up immediately, press B, you can also do the same with other items by pressing numbers from 3-0, there's also a thing where you can dash really far using the sword, you have to hold right click to block, and keep holding it and then hold left click to charge up a sword dash, while still holding right click, and then once you start dashing, you jump while holding right click and once you're in the air you can let go of both right click and left click.

Few tips from an experienced player: -Angle your sails. When going with the wind have the sails follow the wind and billow out and make a little sound. When going against the wind directly, have the sails face directly into the wind. When the wind is going across your ship, also have the sails follow its direction and you should hear them catch the wind. -Raise sails before hitting an island and DON'T ANCOR! When you use this you can use the harpoon for fine adjustments like getting closer to docks and you can get under way a lot more quickly by just lowering the sails. This is especially good for being ready to escape unfriendly pirates. -If you want to be a true sword lord, learn the best lunge strat which is to first block, then lunge. You can move more freely if you do this and jump right after you lunge to go extra far. -For sea forts, park your ship next to the big gate leading to the little man made lagoon inside the bottom floor. You can lower this gate and then use the other pulleys which control an elevator-thingy to get your loot right next to the ship. -Around 16:30 you mention the Reaper 5 coming right towards you. Reaper 5's are able to see emissary ships on the map, no matter their target's grade. They saw your ship's outline at the fort and decided to force you to donate your loot to them. -Don't worry too much about bucketing small amounts of water, especially during storms. -Put your loot on the bow spread (the very very front of the ship, the beam thing or the area right before it) in order to sell it much faster. You can just plop it right off the side of the boat and then walk it to the sell points. -Turn off your mic unless you're actively communicating in game. Hot mic'ing makes it a lot easier for crews to sink you -Don't be afraid to reroll voyages. For example, don't waste your time with the one-captain Order of Soul voyages, just buy a bunch and reroll until you get multiple captains at one island to maximize profit and reputation gain. -Each ship has their own best way to go to outrun the others regarding the wind. The sloop is the fastest ship going into the wind with sails properly angled, the galleon is fastest going with the wind, and the brig is fastest going wind sideways. Just note that the sloop's max speed is going with the wind, just it's the fastest of all the ships going against it and the same with the other two types of ships. -About once a month you can buy a level with doubloons from Larina in front of the tavern. Say if you get level 49 in gold hoarders and needed another one to get level 50. -Grinding sea forts and merm shrines is also a great way to get Order of Souls and Merchant levels at the same time. There's a great loop at the bottom left of the map that has you go to a bunch of fortresses and shrines for tons of rep. I recommend doing commodity runs using www.merfolkslullaby.com to see the best trade routes for merchant grinding. Good luck getting pirate legend and beyond!

when stacking sea forts there are two forts right at the bottom really close to plunder outpost where you can go between them and one resets by the time youve completed the other one. great content btw you definetly deserve more subs :D

i know you don’t play anymore but something my crew learned is that if you throw knifes at the ghost pirates is better than the flintlock

for fast merchant, do sunken ship voyages and make sure you get the key to the captain's room as it's loaded with merchant loot, just one voyage instantly levels a merchant flag to grade 5.

I hope you know my brain replays that vine every single time I grab a pomegranate in SoT. "No no NO NO! NO MORE POMEGRANATES!!"

MASSIVE respect for saying no double XP weekend, like other RU-vids who advertise “getting to pirate legend in 9 hours!!” - while getting double xp, so it’s discouraging for most as it’s more rewarding to see the numbers go up fazter

When doing Sea Forts I would say to bring a storage crate along (can be bought from merchant or found on islands) and use it to quickly grab all of the supplies in the barrels at the fort. Also try to buy the best ranks in the different trading companies whenever you can because the better your rank the better the voyages.

I love your videos! I can’t believe you only have 620 subs, your SOT content is better than most creators with more than 100k! I found your channel a few days ago and I immediately started to watch all the SOT content you have. It was your editing style that caught my eye, and made me continue watching. You should try and do some World events unlike the fleet, such as Fort of Fortune (FoF), Fort of the damned (FOTD), or the Ashen winds event (AW). The ashen winds event you can do alone, but if you wanna do the FOF or FOTD you need a crew of 2 or more. I don’t wanna spoil any more. Again, I hope you continue uploading. You earned a sub!

with the editing and scripting of this vid I thought you'd have thousands of subs and views, guess not, but you deserve them, stayed for the whole vid

Hey man you’re videos always make my day I began sea almost the same time you did and watching you gave me inspiration to go do more quests and play more so thanks for everything

Me, a pirate legend for over 4 years now:👁👄👁 Hmmm, very interesting..... Very good video mate, always fun watching newer players journey to Pirate Legend, it's a long one but with the addition of Emissary Flags in season 2 it's definitely a lot faster these days. PS. Merchant Commodity runs are probably the best way to grind Merchant Alliance to max level. PPS. I'm absolutely naming my 4th Galleon, Galleon Afton, or the Gall Behind the Slaughter.

You can press 3 to grab good from your inventory fast and click 3 again to cycle threw your food items

Discover your Videos today and love the content about Sea of thieves! Here's some activities you should do if you don't want to be burn-out to do the same thing again and again! To become a Pirate legend : -Do a skeleton fort (Skull cloud with Green eyes) put the OOS emissary, there's a good amount of high value Skull here like stronghold Skull! -Do the Ashen Wind (Red tornado) Put the OOS emissary, there's the ashen lord skull who can be use as a flamethrower but the more you use it the more is value decreased (it cost 10k if not use once) -Do the Ghost fleet voyages, put the OOS emissary, it's not the best way to lvl up order of souls but it's a nice change of pace and it's training you for Naval fight! -Do Lost shipment Voyages with Commodity, put the Merchant Emissary, try to find the cabin key it's the most important thing. -Do Siren treasury or Shrine, these places contain a good amount of gems that you can sell to everybody and if you find a message in a coral bottle that tell you to find a Breath of the seas, go for it it's definetly worth it. (obviously better with an emissary on) After you become a Legend: -Try the Pirate legend voyages with their emissary of course. -Try to do a Fort of Fortune (Skull cloud with red eyes, red scars) with the legend emissary -Go to the Shores of gold (It's called tall tales, and the shores of gold arc are the 9th first that you can do) The 1st book is located next to the mysterious stranger in the tavern -Do the Pirate of the caribbean Tall tales (you can start those at the castaway camp) -Get a curse for your character (there's plenty of curse that you can unlocked, part of you can become Gold, Other can be like you are living lava or some can make like your eyes contain ink of kraken inside) some are easy to obtain but the hardest to get is a real grind! here's all the curse : seaofthieves.wiki.gg/wiki/Curses -Start a Fort of the Damned, better with the reaper's emissary on! -Become lvl 75 in Gold Hoarder, Order of souls, Merchant alliance and Reaper bones -Become 30 in pirate legend faction! -Become 100 in the Guardians of Fortune/Servant of the flame or both (Becoming a Ghost or a skeleton) and get acces to exclusive hideouts! (Hourglass mod)

I just discovered your channel with your sea of thieves series and i love it ! Great editing and really good videos ! Continue the good work

I’ve been playing this game on and off since day one and I’m still not a pirate legend. Still remember how hype it was when the first person got it after about 2 weeks of the game being out

I have 15 captained boats (For an achievement), and I gave every set of 3 I got a themed set of names/cosmetics. My initial set was the Billy boat, the Brig boat and the Big boat, Everything after that I pledged to my guild. The first set for our guild, the Gold Diggers, were named after myself, the Famed Captain Golden Balls, with the Gold coin, Gold Diggers Party, and the Golden Hoard. After that I got a more reaper themed set with the One Man Army, the Small Militia and the Golden Warship. The next set I just named after being idiots, with the Drunken Mates, the FratBoys club and the Dead Mans Frathouse, and the Last boat I plan on buying was a galleon named the Cartel. ... I don't really know why I did all that, in all honesty. Our guild never really has more than 2-3 boats out at a time, and most of everyone else had their own boat in it. I guess I had nothing better to do with the gold we were making, and it was one of the 10 rarest achievement's in the game. I just figured why not.

You can bind specific items go specific keys. I play controller and I press A to instantly pull out food in a pinch. It's also probably quicker to use the wheel to pull out stuff like wood as opposed to the inventory.

Quick tip: when you were discussing on what to do about the reaper 5 on the map you said they might catch up to you, unless they were on a brig like you they would be a lot slower as the brig is the fastest ship

The ghost fortresses reset every 7 minutes so if you were willing to risk waiting in the ferry you could get two somewhat quickly

Tip with the kraken, you can shoot the tentacles with your cannons to end the encounter once you kill enough of them

If you go to the ladie outside the tavern you can pay to level up your gold order of soups merchant and other things

The best way the level up the merchant is to do commodity runs. The best way is to go around the map in a circle, going to outposts and going to forts between them to increase your emissary rank.

Hey, you should try the hourglass pvp at some point - it is really fun and can get you quite a bit of money if you win

was a fun fight i was the one who was talking at the end of this video on the gally XD ggs guys

Our ship, she dreams of wind in her sails

Here I am 4 months later, I remember fighting you on that gally. Funny to watch it from your perspective :D

Hitting PL is a pretty difficult achievement for new players, good job on making such good progress. If I knew you i'd love to do a veil with you once you hit PL, but since I don't know you, I'll have to be content with waiting for you to post your first Veil. Great video and I hope to see more.

I love small content creators

Just discoverd your channel, really nice content, keep up!

It's not as efficient, but grinding OoS by chasing skelly ships and doing the fleet is more satisfying. And you guys looks like you can take two galleons while scooping loot, a very fun task^^ Just supply accordingly, my heart is stopping each time you open your barrels :o

How is this guy so small with such good content

Nice video man ❤️👍🏻👍🏻😍🥰✌🏻

Great vid

The other thing that would make this hard for me to become pirate legend (which I’m close to) is that I have no friends to play with! I’m on xbox and none of my friends have xbox only PlayStation. But also I’ve played this game for awhile, threw 2019 I started then I quit after that from boardom and then went back on in 2022 had fun for awhile then quit again 😅 but now this time I will get there but I just wish to have friends with! 🤣😔 anyways loved your video man! ❤

I love the fnaf references I shall give you a sub now

You can gind food the same way as other equipment it should be in the first circle at top middle

another good way for gold hoarderis to get level five sell grab the level five quest vote down and raise flag again then do emmisary voyage you will get level five then rinse and repeat

Call it the Lean Machine

bro you are better at youtube than most 10 mill subscriber youtuber you need to be the first 2 mill sub youtuber

Gold skeletons can also be one shot with a gun when in water

for merchants the lost shipment voyages are the best for rep (I wrote this before i watched the whole vid)

I just got pirate legend today and it took me 2 long months😭

Already legend as of wensday just watching for fun

I just named my sloop: Sloop Dogg

I don't know if you ever found this out, but buying those titles gives you better voyages and is what the game tracks for pirate legend

Keep going. Definitely think you guys could grow if you keep learning the game
