Kingpin PVE ONLY Endgame! - Guide, Tips & Tricks for YOU! - Skull and Bones 

Pro tip. If you are doing a delivery for say white skull rum you don’t always need to carry it on your ship. If you deliver to open water you need to have it on your ship but if you deliver to another fast travel point the rum will be available in your warehouse to do the delivery once you arrive.

I run a snow with full mortar/bombard spec with crew attack heal. I do PvP and have fended off multiple players while farming for businesses. It’s also really strong for forts. It’s a great solo setup. Brace is your friend….USE it. The ship preforms better as you get overwhelmed (or so it appears) lol. I never run from a fight and love being surrounded

It's nice to read a comment section that's positive and not a bunch of crybabys just comparing this game to black flag🤦

Great video. As someone who’s been playing games since the mid 80’s I got to say I highly recommend this game. This has huge potential to be one of the best games. However, I hope they can work out some of the bugs and also keep the content coming in game. Thanks for sharing

Very helpful video for new players. Thank you

Great content. I’m in the Discord but I’ll share this tip here for your channel views. When you’re out and about doing your PVE grind, and a ship scopes you, charge up that twin winch ballista and shoot the little red beacon on the crows nest. Aside from stopping the call for reinforcements, It does deadly damage to masts as well. I’ve crippled some ships in 1 shot and finished them off with a ram in my Brig. Since I got the twin winch ballista, I’ve been practicing with it and it’s a deadly tool when you are comfortable, and accurate with it. Handy for the Oceans Apart and From The Deep missions.

This video helped steer me to your discord which is always packed with cool players to group up with. Good sht!

Great tips! Helps with the grind of this game!

Great video! Great info. Thanks

Ive noticed the chance thing means for every 5 u do u might get +1 Side note best thing to do when doing deliver check the map before u accept them because ste annes has the same as the other one so if u got one close to ste annes fast travel there also leave all your stuff back home and just drop a pin on the map where the location is inless its in middle of ocean

Just found your channel, decided to watch this despite being a kingpin since the 13th (Early access) and I didn't even know that the upgrades were resetting in 90 days not 7! Now I feel like a very silly lady for not upgrading the perks! Thank you.

Very helpful! Thank you. :)

For the cargo delivery, you don’t have to transport the shipment in your ship once you go their it will be in your inventory

Great vid. Been waiting for this one :P The sybmols for the rogue hunts denote what faction they are. Factions are basically what weapon archetype they fit into. E.g. Wyverns, third symbol, use fire weapons. Doesn't have anything to do with difficulty unless you struggle against a specific weapon.

Great tips !

i also noticed that you don’t need to take your goods with you to deliver points where you can dock, leave them in your warehouse and then just approach the npc to complete the delivery

Thank you for all the good information. Love the game, but have never enjoyed PVP, in any game. Don't get to play that often, and don't want to spend what I do get, on fighting people for something, if I don't have to.

just want to mention, if your not really good in battle be careful picking up so many delivery contracts on refined goods, each contract will spawn 2 pirate ships. so if you pick up 4 at once, 8 pirates will spawn to attack and may get over whelming, i stick with 2 for a challenge go for 3 so im battling 4-6 ships at a time. the reason i mention if you dont pay attention you can get surrounded and loose track of when to brace and your brace will deplete extremely quick. you can always pick up your loot and get rid of contracts if it gets too much, have fun though soon i may see yous in pvp ;)

This game is turning out to be a lot better than what people are saying. What a hype train

11:02 I’m just a little bit into the video but the way the chances of getting additional products is each time it cycles it has a 20% chance to get a second one or whatever your chances are. But if you look at larger runs you can get super lucky and have the rng hit more often and you can also get unlucky with the rng. Also on the cargo runs you don’t need to load the contraband on the ship at least until they patch it. The reason why I don’t take multiple deliveries at once is because each mission has a set of enemies and I find it’s much harder to fight two or three different types of enemies at once. It doesn’t take me that long to make a run and I farm ingredients and xp on each run.

Great vid how often do the legendary heists spawn .i played the game for 6 hrs and not one spawn.l mainly play solo. Thanks

Thanks for the video. Another tip for PvE Kingpin activities... When doing Co-Op **DON'T ACCEPT RANDOM INVITES FROM OTHER PLAYERS** because only one person can get the Distillery if you join a party.

Ive gotten all of the locations in Red Isle, almost all of them solo hostile take overs in one night. I feel like i just got lucky. I only had one with another player, and i lost, but other than that, no other players.

With the Supply Deal (Roving) don’t go up to them and talk to them, first you’ll spend silver and get only 105 sugar cane (or whatever it offers) but if you kill one of the ships, you get all of your materials from the quests plus more! For me I would get 105 sugar cane from quest, plus 180 sugar cane for killing one ship, making 285 sugar cane. If I have quest for sugar, poppy, berries I would get 285 of each

Great tutorial but you forgot to ad in how to fund your factories. You can do this with rum!!! In that first group of upgrades you learn gold rum at the seventh investment. John Scurlock will buy rum for 100 silver each. However it takes two white rum to make gold rum and John will buy that for 250 silver. The beauty of this is you make 100 rum with 100 sugar cane. This should net you about 130 rum if the bonuses are correct. Now when you run that 130 rum you'll make 65 gold rum and you should get your 30% bonus again which would be 19 making a total of 84 gold rum which John will buy for 21,000 silver pieces. I haven't checked Johns gin prices yet but I'm going to do that in a day or two. edit; You get the same prices for gin. So do those supply missions as often as you can and keep your distillery and laboratory making you huge amounts of silver to feed your manufacturers. The woman kingpin in the East Indies does the same thing with opium but you need to upgrade the first group to 15 to get that black opium. I like this method instead of trying to find a good price for commodities. They really need to let us see how much things sell for without having it in our cargo hold since we only have a limited number of slots. I just sail by most vendors since you can't check their prices.

Nice video!! Very usefull tips I have à quick question I haven't captured any manufactories yet and was wondering do you loose them after a certain time or do they get stolen from you and u then have to retake and re inject silver into them to upgrade again?

I pray so you can get your blessings so you can do this full-time I love the game I love your help

is there a daily cap for pieces of eight and is a lot of activiti time gated?

Another tip i got yesterday and used was to NOT put the rum or opium in your ships cargo. Instead accept the contract and sail to the drop off point (mark it on your map as it will not show up since you do not have the item(s) on the ship). Once you disembark at the drop off point, access your cargo and transfer the rum/opium to your ship then deliver it. That way the extra cargo won't weigh the ship down and if you get sunk you wont lose the contraband. Worked yesterday (Feb 19th), not sure if that was patched or not.

if you kill the supply ships it will give you a lot more dog

9:39 thank god, I’m in too deep on upgrades😂

Great video but I think you might of missed a huge bonus in the empire management tab (trade route upgrade) I got many areas knocking on the 100 an hour door and they are lvl 6.

i hit the colonial shipment and got a pretty sweet hull armor drop

I know this is a PVE guide but you should also do the Takeovers because sometimes there are no players that want to do it but if a player joins up, just quit that and go on to the next. That’s how I got all the locations in the red isle

Hey man.. I am in abit of a situation where eventho you do explain it here quite well, i am still unsure where i should spend my figure of eight to either open a new area or to just upgrade red isle area for more figure of eight. if you have the time and you wouldnt mind.... i would appreciate some help from you :) let me know

10:50 yeah it’s vague but it’s only the 20% total and not adding it. Same in last category with the production %

Willin to help on Megalodon?

Supply Deals you take the mission kill the ship and you get way more for no cost. Just one ship kill is needed to stock up fully. I did one kill got 570 canes and 285 berries.

I’ve had it where a teammate griefs by killing themselves after the heist and no one gets the location as it ends the mission. Being preferential to PvE, to all of you fellas apprehensive just give the takeovers a shot if no one joins it. If someone does, just don’t go. Otherwise, loving the video so far.

Where do you get that cost from ?

Do you have to control all the manufacturers in the region to have "control" for that perk?

Cornnut, u goy any info on more ship releases and the other half of the map?

So when you get the location from the heist can you lose that to a hostile takeover? or do you have it for the season?

1st of love the game. I am a PVE player more than PVP. Just looking for some people to hang with while playing or do some PVP events.

Have you compared the Mons Meg Bombard to the Balista? The Mons Meg is designated as a siege weapon so I was wondering if you compared the 2.

I have no problem killing the boss on the Legendary Heist, but the game never really tells you what to do after you pickup the loot (at least i never saw it). Regardless i tried this 5 times yesterday and kept getting one shot by the NPC ships...no joke i was at full health each time level 10 Brig. Extremely annoying.

Hi is this a typical thumbstick game or can I remap movement to the D-Pad? And probably attack or fire to X?

Hi! Thank for the video! Just bought the game, and it is good but very buggy... Have you noticed anything about the upgrade on the timeline for supplyruns? First you get 2 min. Then next is 3 min, thats make 20 min, but im getting 19 min which doesnt add up now matter if it was 2 and then 3 without stacking.. Jist a buggy buggy game really, and starting to get bored afyer allready 13 days.. lol..

5:17 those are not difficulty icons, they are the icons for the different factions

Great Video, is it still worth playing now after 3 months? I am currently playing a pirate game from over a decade ago: It's called "Pirates of the Burning Seas", it's free and has tons of ships. This game reminds me of that same game, but just a much smaller version, with much better graphics. The economy, where players building ships and parts for other players, is EPIC. This is how it all works in POTBS. So this looks like something I could get into. The Snow for example was a level 12 ship of 50 levels total. Maybe they will introduce new ships as the game develops. If they need ideas for such things. considering POTBS is free.... They could just download it and see for themselves.

How to join discord?

Can multiple people own the locations at the same time? Or can people takeover your locations?

Them roving supply mission I don't understand when I got there it wouldn't let me to and thing do I attack them?

Love the game but it needs a balance fix I did a white rum run had about 7 rank 11 come at me as I sailed great that was fun my next run I had nothing attack me when I got to drop off outpost there was 21 tier 11 waiting for me no fun

I accepted a double or nothing challenge on my way back from grabbing gold. I started getting attacked by 4 rival players and ended up getting sunk twice. I finally got back the gold chest and delivered it for a whopping $16k gold!! I think every time the gold chest gets dropped and picked up it doubles. Not sure but I only started with 600 gold

I love the true grinders.... I have 84hrs streamed already and hate the exploit players... the free trial account sounds like a plan tho so might look in to that but I love trashing the exploit players that don't have any real experience or skill

I can’t figure out how to do supply runs. I bring it there and it doesn’t let me.

There's so much I hate about this game and really I just need to stop myself from comparing it because I'm still having fun. Sure I wish there was more freedom with being your character and moving around/ character combat and so on. But you spend so much time sailing and the boat combat is fun. I'll never be a big pvper so I'm mostly just taking my time and enjoying myself while waiting for helldivers 2 to load (wish my friends that love helldivers would try skull and bones so I'd have someone to sail with lol)

Rogue Hunt that is not the level that is the faction that is you are attacking, But love the Video

Dar-da-nells is how it is pronounced.

Bro..im kingpin 12 and still cant find the ROYAL ARMOR..what am i missing?

G'day, Well thanks for these tips for I dare not try PvP due to my poxy confidence & horrendous australian internet.. Ahh this game just feels so much like AC:IV BF & AC:V R naval battles all over again especially in storms. Now to do some hiests I guess. Now I wonder if this comment will get automatically deleted hmm...

Man i have factorys level 9 running, i cannot keep up whit silver. They need to buff silver rewards... Are you sure about the helm upgrades? I cant find the message on their Twitter

I can't afford to play the Discord but I do need friends

helm wagers never work for me and idk why, accepted a helm wager with 6412 and only got 1400

Can I join your Discord?

That takes to long. It's quicker and easier to do the hostile takeover. Yes it's pvp but I did all mine by myself. If someone joins and you don't want to do pvp back out. Once someone has that location they can not join again

Alex please excuse my ignorance but I have no idea what you are talking about

Love the game if you don’t go play fortnight 😂😂😂

Anyone know what the numbers are next to name when looking at the lobby?

discord invite pls
