Stop 'GRINDING' Pieces of 8 - Easy Po8 Stonks!!!  

I don't know how this happened.... I think I have survey too...

Appreciate it 🧡

You're very welcome!

Very welcome!

Awesome!

Happy to help!

Oh man! Then I'm glad you found it haha just remember there is more to this game then a Po8 grind!

@@BehavingBeardly no doubt I’m liking the game I personally have no issues with it. I have no game friends so I know it can get better when you have people you can play with. You just made it more interesting on how you did this.

We lied on our resume now we suffering 😂

Good grief no it's not if you think spending 30 minutes of your fucking time getting pieces of eight then you have no business playing games!

unpaid job

Hahaha just remember that there's othe stuff to do and you DONT NEED to constantly grind po8. You play how you want

Best job in the world

Glad to help!

No problem at all!

No problem at all!

Glad I could help!

I'll take it 🤣

Very welcome! Hope you enjoy the game 🧡 I'm having a blast!

Exactly too many lazy fucks these days! I mean they sit on their god damn asses and spend 30 minutes to get some shit just for them to pitch about how much of a job is when its only like 30 minutes to collect 18 foundries. In red isle

It's the group mentality of younger generation we want it all and we want it now not in 2 months etc.

Let's see how you feel about that after they wipe everything you did. 🤣

@outdoorsman7324 they aren't gonna wipe everything dumbass just the foundries you have and the upgrades in helm not take away your pieces of eight and sovereigns!

Harafu not even top 10 now... the top 9 are all East Indies!

Cheers!

Hell yeah! Appreciate it!

It's wild out there haha thank you

Hell yeah... I'm loving the scurlock long 9's!

@@BehavingBeardly I just got those too and I think I need to figure out the synergy on them, I will probably use them on my Brigantine for cutthroat cargo chases.

@@xironedgex77 when you take down sails with them they do bonus damage which is NICE

I'm not sure.. I just sink em anyway hahah

Nope... I don't even fund connected manufactures lol

Really? No, no one's ever said that haha

No problem!

You'll be repeating the entire process all over next season... everything you accomplish is wiped each season. That alone makes it pointless to play as far as I'm concerned.

Even the ship you leveled?

@outdoorsman 7324

@@wrehkk3957 , no, all those manufacturies that you acquired. I'm not into doing the same thing all over again.

I'm so damn addicted 🤣

Aye. It was all nerfed and timers changed. You can now fund for way longer too

No they don't! The manufacturies don't produce as much anymore and can be funded for longer since the last update. Harafu is no longer OP either haha.

@@BehavingBeardly man.. I just leveled it up to 10 too. Is there a new OP one that you know about? I have all the manufacturers in the red isle and African coast

Oh man! That's rough!

I would if I had time 🧡🧡 it's something I'll aim for as the game grows

@@BehavingBeardly I see a lot hate around the game. SnB deserves so much love but the fans and creators are keeping it in community and there is like nothing under ubisoft videos.

East Indies has top 9 now but yeah. Still a good shout to focus on funding lvl 10s

Live service games.... there HAS to be some kind of grind or you'd have nothing to keep you playing for the season haha

😂😂😂😂

I feel like these players gave never played live service games before 😅

And then what? I mean you have all those eights... then what? 🤔

Yeah. It's a lot different now

I have been thinking the same, i have alot of spots but i dont see myself doing this all again. What if they just make it more expensive to unlock new area of ocean instead of resetting everything

They should have these things delivered to us as an option . For those who want the double mission let them go do it manually

No the ones you own pieces of eights on won't get reset

Agreed. I like the game more than I should but I’m getting bored picking up coins

Definitely don't see myself doing the whole takeovers system again

I mean, I LOVE live service game... as time goes by they add more and more. Issue is the launch/foundation can be shallow.... but S&B has one of the most fleshed out foundations/things to do I've ever seen in a live service game.

IMO this is hands down the most annoying part of this game. I don't make a lot of 8's that's because i refuse to paly delivery boy. I also feel like I don't need to have a billion 8's being generated at this time. I have 7 locations at level 7 I get around 5k a day that is more than enough to generate8's that I want to spend buying things in the market. Hell aall of this will reset in season 2 anyway so until there is a need to generate more 8's then I'll step up my output. I'm more than happy to go out and capture supploy points, i just don't want to think about picking up coin and delivering them anywhere. Not fun in my opinion. I want naval battles, and monster fights, bosses! Exploration! to be free of the bounds! You know, a ppirates life!

You hit the nail on the head. I can't stand videos that make claims tgat just aren't true. You have to capture territories you have to grind po8 until you get the levels up on all connecting points only then is any of this relevant and it's not going to happen over night and it's not going to be unlimited 8s. I can draw in 28k an hour but it's from working ut. Thankfully tge interact to collect no longer requires a 0 hostile level. I farm my way through anything that moves, collect every scrap of food and every wreck I come across while I collect 8s. It's more about getting the most res and mats for every move you make. I currently only fund 12 factories but before they were leveled and connected I funded all of them.

​@@BehavingBeardlyeso and gta were far worse

I have my route setup currently making 47k per 45 min run. Can do it twice a day. If I try I can make 100k po8 a day fairly easily. I have bought everything that costs silver or gold, and most things that cost sovereigns, I've completed all the missions and investigations, I have every ship loaded out for a specific task. I think I'm out of content at this point. 71 days left in the season, all there is to do now is collect materials/gold...

Nope

For me, at that point I'd be looking to 100% side quests/missions/buy EVERYTHING and lock play 'keeper of the cargo'... sailing around with CTC or Po8 DoN and just fighting everyone for fun... po8 are the end game loop sure... but there is a sandbox element to this game where you can just go have fun!

@@BehavingBeardly to keep your collectors goin you need to be farming the forts for the resources pretty reguarly but they only give the same forts over and over, dont get me wrong i enjoy the game but the whole top 8 thing has been irrotating me for a week or 2 now, side missions are done only thing left for me to do is 10 oosten which i think i need to be able to destroy it first almost duo'd it the other day we ran outta ammo, and thre is a couple of the europian cosmetic ship set im missing from cutthroat cargo and world event chests, farming forts is an easy way to do your battle pass, can get basically 1 - 1.5 smuggler pass teirs per fort, if you undersand your ship builds and spend a couple hrs it racks up in no time

You can only do the po8 double quest 1 time per 24 hours

If you do what I've done (in this video) and have made 5 lvl 10 manufactories you'll get all the weekly and seasonal sovereign... I have

@BehavingBeardly Oh awesome. Thanks for the reply and advice bud. Have a good one

Supply runs (dropping off the materials - for example juniper berries), that the supply run requires

@@BehavingBeardlybut is for short period of time, right?

Hahahh you got this!

Yeah I'm not sure... but I also wonder of that now we know the system better, it'll be a lot easier than it felt this time round 😅

Don't take me back to that heart break :(

Oh wow! That sounds awesome!

Hahaahah some people are going HAM 🤣😅

Sorry, takes me ages to get videos made 🤣

U may need to finish some of the other main missions not exactly sure but hopefully this gets resolved for u

I think this was patched yesterday?

up to Kingpin

@@xxeroxxasxx_653 I don’t have anymore main missions

@@GaB-qy3qx yes kingpin 27

It's default? You can't change the amount it has? Take over all the manufactures that link to it. You don't need to fund or upgrade them

Just do your collection of full manufactories at most every 2 days. Use the spare time to make gold skull rum to sell to scurlock for silver or black opium to Rhama. Ots actually easier as the Po8 economy is relative. And now there's no top 8 reward, its all platinum which everyone should can get relatively easily

It's like it is because there is no end game so they make iot hard and time consuming to collect it all just to prolong the gameplay.

There has to be some kind of grind to stay active but you need to remember you don't need to spend all your time collecting. You play as you want. Leave them full for days if you want

As much as this video is now wrong 😅 I'm happy with the changes. Now means I can spend less time collecting haha

It has indeed! The logic still applies. You just don't get the 55% boost per trade link... I think it works out as 7.5% but haven't jumped in game yet to work it out properly. By what I fathom, the East Indies is FAR better now than Africa

I thought this was patched yesterday?

@BehavingBeardly still broken :( can't really progress with out the upgrades

if your not enjoying it then let it cook - I'm loving the general content RN - the game is always pulling you in different directions haha - I let the game steer my actions

Live service games gotta have that grind lol

@@BehavingBeardly I'm there for the grind. I'm all about grind but when the grind seems more like a chore than a game, I stop wanting to participate

I just make gold rum and sell it to Scurlock... EZ silver

Upgrade your left most empire upgrades. Sell the higher level products from your distillery and lab to the kingpins for 250 each.

Yup! Get a few of the ones mentioned to level 10 and bobs your uncle

i cant make sense of what your saying honestly... but either way - its a live service game! The beauty is you can play how you want!

I just make n sell loads of gold run and black opium to kingpins for silver

It's a live service game with a year 1 road map out already.... they've not even started yet haha

They will add more every update and season. This is a pretty damn solid foundation!

I can't get any po8 people of higher level always jump me when I try to collect

hell yeah! Took a while for a lot of us to figure it out hahah

don't need to do upgrades off the bat - I didn't - once you have a couple lv 10s the upgrades fly past

You need to get to kingpin and gain access to the helm

Nope RN my plan us only 6/8 fully upgraded and funded. The rest stay empty

there's nothing to do with the Po8 after a certain point. you dont get any more soverigns after you hit diamond. though i could be mistaken

@@bryant2672 I will be stockpiling them for a while, so when the next season comes, I can buy all the upgrades, level them up to 10, etc instantly. But, it won't take long to get to that point.

@@ericweeks8386 those will be reset. i doubt that SNB will let people upgrade that easily. They want people to continue playing the game. Cant do that if everyone doesn't do the daily grinds to buy the weapons.

Nice! Some people are making silly amounts of Po8 hahah. I'm sure there's going to be some balancing next season. You gonna go for the 'top 8 on leaderboard' rewards?

@@BehavingBeardlyHell no. I'd love to see the amounts at that level have. I'm hovering around 1900-2000th place, and have no desire to climb higher.

Haha of course there's some grind... its a live service game... but this helps folks from making it into a never ending grind

All live service games need a grind to keep people playing. Just remember you don't HAVE to do all of it. Some people will ignore Po8 and just do side quests. Beauty of a live service game us you play how you want

Logic applies. Just got to pay more attention to base levels and the trade route bonus is basically not as relevant but... yeah OK... you're right 🤣🤣🤣 But still better to get manufactories to lvl 10 then only fund lvl 10s......... IMO 😅

Might be better to take them to 7 and not above. That allows our folks who can't play every minute to pay and collect twice a day. Don't go to 10 unless you can constantly babysit. I wish we could revert levels. ​@@BehavingBeardly

Beauty of open world, live service games. Play how you want!

That's the point of the video... have fun out there pirate!

It's easy

if thats your opinion - I'm having a blast and spend little time grabbing Po* with about 200 hrs so far haha

I don't? 😅

I mean - this is a live service game with an element of sandbox - As long as you get what you want withj the Po8 or Sov you can just play how you want - I spend VERY little time farming Po8 and enjoy the rest the game has to offer

@@BehavingBeardly Not even Ubisoft themself did put sandbox in their tags for this game. And dont get me wrong, im having a blast playing it - almost at 999.999 exp - but lets be honest, currently the game doesnt have anything to offer beside farming Po8. Loot from activits doesnt increase with your kingpin rank and thats a big problem, even my lvl 70+ kingpin chests are full of crap. And then theres the thing, that we dont have any reason to farm materials, all the materials i used for crafting guns etc, were from the open beta. Same goes for "bosses" who actually does the new bounty after crafting the armor and why was the ship not the last reward in the battlepass? You may not agree but as far as it looks, the game is made to depend on people willing to mindless farm their Po8 and nothing else. I think thats really sad and the year-one roadmap doesnt show anything that would change that. Again i'm having a blast and yes they simply had to release it in this state, but the base game depends way too much on that player "waste" their time on Po8 and the helm activitys.

Hey, Im a busy guy lol - and theres always new pirates learning

aye - i noticed its always like 220

Apparently it was a fix not nurf.... just collect once every 2 days instead. EZ. Still collecting same amount, less effort. Win win

So why are you clicking on video tutorials for the game? 😅

@@BehavingBeardly , it's entertaining watching people defend it... kinda like you, you're literally vested in making it look good. 🤣 There is nothing wrong with seeking entertainment, that's what you're here for... you're simply bent because I find you entertaining in a way you hadn't intended. 🤷

Why you clicking on videos for it then 👀🤣

Comms being fixed and more PvP modes will help massively.. which they've said is coming! This is just the start! More and more will be added every update!

Sucks to suck

Comms being fixed? Have they worked at all since launch?

Wild statement... many of us have already sunk 200+ hours in and having a blast!

​@BehavingBeardly ive completed the story, own all the business' even though they are painfully repetitive ive defeated all world boss'. The game lacks content if you cant see that you're naivety is frightening

​@@seanpurcell1292but you said the game has "literally no content". What do you call all this that you finished?

beauty of these types of games is you play how you want - and this is about smarter management of your manufacturies lol SO MANY are just funding and leveling ALL manufactories and wasting BUCKETS of time - I spend little time faming Po8 and play the rest the game has to offer - having a blast!

If you do delivery missions for the gold, and concentrate on just a few high output manufactories, it goes pretty quick. The hard part is not spending the gold on gear instead of city upgrades. I have about 10 cities upgraded to 9 now, and the few in-between at 7. Next run I will make about 50k po8, that will upgrade most of my places from 9 to 10 and give me an extra 15k on the next run. It starts off slow, but ramps up really fast. A video like this would have saved me an ass load of wasted time, I learned the hard way...

OK?

Really? A lot of major ones were patched straight away and they've communicated the ones they're working on. I've barely seen any! Might be fixed now for you?

google AAAA
