SEA OF THIEVES ... For Noobs 

Can I get and "aaaar" in the chat?

That song at the start hits so hard

The skits are getting better tbh

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

In typical Macro fashion, the intro is a certified classic🔥

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.

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.

Bro I have been waiting forever to get this on Playstation LETS GOOOO

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.

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

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!*

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MACRO

i’ve been playing this game for so long and i’m so happy others can grind the game like me and love it

YESSSSS MACRO AND SEA OF THIEVES!!!!

Thanks for this video, sot is one of my favorite games and new content for sot always excites me!!

nahh bro just make an album of ur own now sounds fire 🔥🔥

Yo macro, I've been watching your videos ever since the heirloom unboxing videos and even remember that Apex legends verse overwatch song.

The high effort skits at the beginning are always the best part.

Love your content and the song at the beginning

The music is amazing Keep it up man ❤❤

thanks for finally covering this game !! another very enjoyable watch

Love the Carter ace in the intro

Been waiting for this, playing it rn. Another typical macro w

Macro saying your enjoyment depends on your crew is so true I got this friend who just wants to grind the fortresses and it gets soooo boring yeah we earn tons of money but the enjoyment is lacking

played this game at launch which is pretty crazy and whats more crazy is how much this game has grown unfortunately i had no friends interested in this game so i didn't play long but did have fun experiencing the day one version

I feel like SoT is easy to make friends on especially if you play with random teammates and you’re just chill

The Pirates Life Tall Tales are mostly good, but the best are definitely the 9 Shroudbreaker Tall Tales. They can get pretty complicated with their puzzles and riddles, but they are very rewarding!

As a european I Can tell you : beeing able to challenge Evry other country as a pirate IS DOPE

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.

me and my friends always run the skull of siren song when we first get on. most of the time its an easy 50k but when there are other people contesting for the skull it gets way more fun

i love the intro. amazing!!!

I remember playing sea of thieves with my father back in 2018 and having a blast with him. To bad it's only coming to ps5 and not ps4, i won't be able to replicate the fun i had with my friends.

One of my fav youtubers on one of my fav games lets goo!

I have so many hours on this game, yet I still watch these videos because they're so good!

The intro was sooo coool🤩

So glad to see new players on this game

Bro hearing macro talk abt this game is wild, can't believe I played so long ago, 1.2k hours such damn nostalgia, totally recommend

The intro alone made me like the video ❤❤

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

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.

Macro, I love this game and I love your content. As someone with 4k+ hours on this game, it's lovely to finally find you making content on it. Please, more sea of thieves!

Can't believe you finally posted about my favourite game

Fire intro and this MIGHT just get me back into Sea of thieves (getting helldivers 2 in a couple of weeks)

bro you only making a vid on sea of theives now, man ive been waiting for this ! i love your vids macro

thanks for the good explaining

Love you macro ❤

Yessss! I didn’t even know I wanted this, but i do.

This video just reminded me how fun it would be playing this game with a certain friend of mine that I didnt talk to in a long time , so I legit called him to play some games and now we even gonna meet up, this vid somehow made me renew a friendship lol

I’ve been playing this game for years waiting for you to cover it 😭

Love it 🎉🎉🎉🎉

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

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

FINALLY LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I love this dude

Pros: Volcano Cons: Volcano

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)

sea of thieves !!!!!

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!

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

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

🗣️ we bout to be the king of the pirates with this one

The 4 part harmony goes wild😭😭

bros finally covering my favourite game

Still remember that managed to accidently run into the kraken and megalodon while having like 200k or more worth of gold on our ship it was truly heartbreaking because the ship was sunk both times

Favorite thing to do is by far tucking. Have you ever felt the feeling of swimming 10 min from an island to another boat so you can hide inside for hours. Its great

Do you still have to have Xbox live to play it on console? Me and my girlfriend would love to play it together and I have it on both my computer and my Xbox but if you need live for the Xbox to work then there isn’t a point in us playing.

This is the greatest intro Macro needs to tier list his intros btw that would be a cool video

When’s the intro song’s Spotify release?? 🚨🔥👏👀

He really did cook this time with that song lmao

Macro make the best intros you can’t change my mind

The discord server for this game is so much fun and you can find some of the best pirates there

That intro is legendary on its own

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. Putting my silver tongue to the test to successfully get what i want for my crew. If anyone sees this comment. Hi! If you happen to find VIPSKAR on the seas, I'll give you my special shanty 😁

Been playing since launch so stoked new players get a better game then its state at lunch 🙏😭

YESSS FINALLY MY FAV GAME

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

As many have pointed out: Keep your sails up to park instead of anchoring, but it is also important that you point your boat at open water. One thing is to PLEASE do not hate on the PVP. The game is supposed to be PVPVE, and I know that I am primarily a PVP player so I have my biases, but PLEASE do not get so mad when you are chased down or when you are sunk. Unless the enemy shows behaviors that lack civility, such as trolling, saying slurs, cussing, etc,... PVP in the game is not evil and you have to learn that there is always a chance to lose your progress. If you do not like that you are constantly sunk, then I supposed that is something you can improve on and reflect about. You do not need to sweat, nor tryhard in order to get good at the game. All that is needed is to accept the features of the game as is, be humble, and love what it has got to offer(as long as it is intended, of course). Many people got very good at the game without arenas or without hourglass, though definitely not as much as those that pvp in those modes often, they still are majorly better than probably 90% of the game. This is not for my sake, but it is for yours. I, and many others who pvp, could not care less about you disliking us sinking people. It is an integral part of the game that we love and enjoy. To hate it is to not accept the nature of the game. If you are sunk, learn why you sunk and try to get better. **Either way, keep a good attitude, because it is mostly to benefit you so that your gameplay is more enjoyable.**

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

All cosmetics can be earned for free you just need to find actient skeletons that drop the premium currency like in helldivers its just more rare

Let’s go finally Sea of Thieves is getting more recognition

That harmony tho 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

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". Afterall, I do believe that a new leisure activity regarded as "terminal attack" has been recently included within the recreational activity. Kindest regards, AAaaAAAAAAaAaAAAaaaAAAHhhhHHhhhHHhH

Macro blessing us with another certified banger, arr mateys.

Finally. My favourite Overwatch guide joins my beautiful Sea of thieves

Macro is fr a musical genius

Bro finally

3:13 please reenact this at Dagger Tooth Outpost when you have time. Always fun.

im so happy he did this

4:46 you need any 3 companies for pirate legend, including the reaper's bones

The intro goes hard

my god, hes done it

The song was amazing

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.

Rule #1 for the conned: "you can't trust anyone" Rule #1 for the conman: "don't get emotionally attatched to the mark"

If you a Sloop called The Boneless Pizza, you’ll have a friend to help with whatever. Unless you start firing and then the captain will do what he must. I solo a lot.

nice video~!

As a sot player my tip is to not be sad if u r sanked, you can always start again

As an xbox player I am so happy more people can experience this game. It's so fun

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.
