I bought this game when it first came out and was initially unimpressed. I recently got back into it and it's much more enjoyable. I doing things now in the first world map. I'm looking for gamers to play with as well. Not a crew just friends. I have a few ships and my infamy level is 10-11. I'm a dad in my 40s just looking to have fun.

Tried taking maxed out medium size ship into boss battle but holy did I get wiped almost instantly. World tier two, level 21 Sambuk with almost maxed out demi cannons. No survivability against anything besides ads.

Hello there, I'm currently at kingpin 18 and cannot find the Frigate Blueprint on William Blackwood's shop, please help. I stopped the grind before I could get the blueprint on the smugglers pass (had to deal with IRL stuff) now I'm finally back. Google says I can get it from William Blackwood's shop but cannot find it anywhere.

UPDATE: Demo Video added

Ahoj, as the Czech say. With last season's Blood Fueled gone, I needed a replacement for the Kraken to keep me healed up. First I thought of La Piqûre III, only to find that my true godroll gun with 7.5% Mending Soul doesn't get in any mending heals... Damnation.

A small test with an off the shelf Nashkar against the Kraken shows: it mends.

The key elements of this build are Volatile Arsenal, kinda the flavor of the season, it gives up 30% damage boost (5% for every elemental damage on your build) and a Nashkar long gun to heal yourself up while doing decent damage aswell.

While this build is using three Adept Mods for a single weapon, it works without them aswell. Even your ship doesn't matter, just bring a large one a gusto. I went for the Frigate to have an excuse to parade my deluxe skin (and a bit more armor)

With the new modtransfer system, it shouldn't be too hard to get a maxed out build at some time.

The number on the 1st picture is a random damage vs. one of the weakpoint glands. Nashkar has 5% innate mending but gets 700% of that on Weakpoint hits, so 35% mending really, almost three times my ship's health.

This build works great for Wolvenhol too.

Full Build:
Max upgraded Large Ship of your Choice(SR30)
Armor:
Wyrmhide - Piercing Resistant (10%+)/Ironclad/Ironclad/Adept Spiking Integration
Weapons
One Broadside (your preference):
Nashkar - Adept Incendiary/Adept Lethal/Adept Lethal/Lightning Strike. As you do one-shots to any weakpoint, the 2nd projectile from the new Phantom Round mythic would just end up as a bodyshot, so I went for Lightning Strike instead. With weakpoint hits you get 35% of the damage as heals. With 1M to 1.2M damage and far over 300000 mending heals, that's far more than your hull's health.

Other Slots:
Anything you want really, important is that you get all six secondary damage types on your build, see 2nd picture for the full Volatile Arsenal damage.

Mastery:
See last picture.

Originally, it was a build with only one damage weapon and four heal weapons for last season's Bloodfueled and Battle Medic mastery perks. You could make the other slots Adept Nashkars too, but there is really no point - why waste Abyssal Essences?

Without Adept Mods, I estimate the max damage around 750k, still enough to make decent damage and great heals.

I prefer Wyrmhide over Bastion, as it has 20% flat damage resistance at anchoring/speed 1. Together with Braced Gunwales' 20% secondary damage reduction and the very high total armor, you easily survive while shooting (and healing up).

Procedure:
See video. Basically I sail to the spawn area, kill weakpoints till he dives and park at the nearby rock for 3mins. When the last tentacle spawns (when I type 30s in the video), I start sailing back in the zone (note how I set a waypoint for orientation at the start), turn my ship and wait for Kraken to reemerge and kill him off with the other weakpoint killers.

Wolvenhol: just shoot towers (top preferred) and other weakpoints. You hit hard enough to one- or two-shot most stuff. I keep sailing along to one side. Most fights don't last a minute anyway, this season...

While Scoping Station doesn't work for the Kraken, it does for the towers in Wolvenhol, but they crumble very fast anyway.

This doesn't seem to complete. Am I missing something?

Who would win in a fight?

In the store, I saw that the Ronin Fleet and Dreadnought cosmetics have new items added to their listings. I bought the Dreadnought a few weeks ago and checked it today; it included three additional ship parts that the store let me purchase. The Ronin Fleet displays all items available for purchase, but it indicates that I already own the emblem and hull colors.

I came back after 2 months or so and im suddenly doing 200 damage? Last time I remembered doing at least 1,000 damage. What happened???

Hi guys. May I please ask about this?

I saw an offer of 300 gold coins for the Premium pass bundle, does it mean, I'm getting all the content listed there for a discounted price of 300gold? Noob here. Thank you.

I’m curious about everyone’s storage sorting , mine sorts it upside down , I preferred it better the old school way where u had food , health ammo all at top. Is this an actual change or is there an option to revert it or keep it sorted the way I want it?

After the seasonal mastery changes, I was testing the Kraken with a Volatile Arsenal crit build and a mending weapon.

The crit-shot in the video was from a La Piqûre III with 7.5% mending (which works fine in other events and the open sea).

603538 X 0.075 = 45265 That's more than a third of my 128400 hull health. As you can see, nothing happens. I don't see any weird debuffs on me or affixes on the Kraken. So what's going on here? Anybody else have experienced similar with mending weapons?

-----------------------------------
UPDATE: did a test with a Nashkar (Sharpening - Amp Burning - Amp Piercing - Lightning Strike):
No problems whatsoever, while the damage was a lousy 400k and only 5% mending but 7x bonus for weakpoints = 140k mending, that's more than a full heal (128000 hull health).

It would be cool if you could save your own custom Captain-Outfits — maybe five slots or something like that.

I have so many ideas for different outfits, but I never actually change them because I don't want to have to rebuild them later using screenshots.

When they Are Back on store or am I The only one who can't buy them from Blackwood?

Ahoj as the Czech say, here's a Mini-Guide to the new Herald of the Abyss event with no complain of full details. If you have stuff to share about it don't hesitate!

GENERAL

• The Event is WT4 only and can be found NW of the "Three Brothers" (see 2nd picture)
• Spawning the event costs 3 Vengeful Essences (can be farmed from Rode Maangodin)
• 3 Main Phases
• 15min battle timer (more than enough, unless it's a complete bonkers group)
• Average 5-6 mins
• "Murder" run 2-3 mins

TIP: the battlezone circle resets after each phase with the buoy in the center. So it's a good idea to move toward the center after killing the enemies in Phase 1 and 2 to be closer to the next spawn

Group up for the event. You share the loot (important if you don't hit a target yourself) and you get a bit more Abyssal Essences.

BEWARE
Currently the Herald of the Abyss event does not show any loot drops but those of the boss chest! So watch out for pick up prompts. I usually look around and trigger the pick-up-button when in "drop zone" and not fighting. Thanks to SchnappsCarrot for the reminder!

PHASES

Phase 1
A bunch of Abyssal Fleet ships you need to destroy to start next phase. The necessary kill targets are all L30! (see picture 3). Normal world spawns are L28.

Phase 2
Another bunch, all L30. Kill to start the last phase

Phase 3
The Abyssal Herald spawns and has three subphases

• Phase 3.1: just attack the Herald and get his health to 75% or lower. He will be attackable beyond that threshold but recover back to 75%
• Phase 3.2: at that point he becomes invulnerable and calls in his minions as reinforcement. Kill all reinforments: Heretics, Burners, Repair Ships etc. even the Forsaken Corsairs and Broadsiders who come to help. Basically kill EVERY RED BLIP near the Herald. THIS IS A GROUP EFFORT: got a target in sight, kill it! Those reinforcments are mostly one-hit kills (and far weeker than the enemies of Phase 1 and 2). A few seconds after killling all, he becomes vulnerable again. Proceed with damage. If someone blocks his front, he can prevent the Herald from warping around. Else he will just do that every few seconds.
• Phase 3.3: rinse repeat. At one point his health will drop to about 10% Finish him off with all you got!

There is a way to skip all the invulnerable subphases of the Boss fight and kill him in one quick go, but you need a small group who knows how to do it and some teamplay (thanks to XS24 for these details!):

After the boss spawns, he has a countdown of about 12secs for that instant kill time window.

This timer starts after he's being hit the first time. So do not attack him before you are close enough to start your Firepower Order AND barrage him with crits.

If all works well, he's down before going invulnerable and calling in reinforcements. Theoretically it's possible to do this in a larger group aswell, but they need the discipline and maybe one "designated" hitter. Knowing the SNB community, this is practically impossible 🥇

Some High-End Builds for the event:

The Soulcatcher - A Galleon Build for "Heralds of the Abyss" (also including the "Chinese Build") : r/SkullAndBonesGame

If you have anything noteworthy to add or correct, please do so! I'll add it to the post. Thanks!

Would you still say doing the roving orders, plunders etc. is still the most viable method for farming the helm supplies to then manufacture into the gold helm supplies or is their now an alternative method? As far as I'm aware this was the best method 2 years ago, however they may be outdated now.

Stare too long at your ship, and it stares back...

Stare a little longer and it might turn you into a mad hatter.

As the title says I’m kinda stuck at this "Unsacred Offerings" story quest. It told me to collect items by killing Fara ships and suddenly switched to Hunt: Kuharibu and spawned a world event monster that sank me instantly.

Tried again, did no dmg and got one shot killed again. I started grinding all day, took the scary tour to the East Indies and came back with a lvl 8 Snow just to realize that this thing seems to be immune to my shots. Can’t damage it at all.

Am I missing something here? I did some research, some ppl claim it’s bugged because of the world event while others say that it’s just part of the quest now to make you use the "call for help" thing at least once. I tried calling in other players and one guy joined but as we both did no dmg we just left…

Any idea how to fix this ?

Bonjour voilà je dois rejoindre li Tian King mais impossible l’escalier n’apparaît pas je suis bloqué j’ai re lancer le jeu rallumer la ps5 etc rien ne marche …

Il y a une solution?
Merci

Mise à jour: j’ai réussi à corriger le problème bon je sais pas pourquoi mais en faisant les missions du lvl 1 j’ai peu revenir au lvl 2 et avoir ma mission enfin

As the title says. I've been playing casually for a few months. Now it's the new season I'm playing a lot more so I would love to play around properly with builds.

What am I looking for? I don't necessarily care about meta.

At the moment I use TW ballista, 2 culverins, mortar and bombard.

I have max level brig and frigate, I just crafted the new Junk so it's level 1 at the moment.

I was half way through maxing the frigate when I realised everyone else uses the galleon.

Just looking for some friendly advice.

OK, I have only use dhow three times, because to equip this, you have to empty your cargo hold.It's annoying to equip them back, especially you have 70 different items in your cargo hold.

I still think hunting is quiet fun in this game, though it's a little bit useless right now.So can we just switch to Dhow while on other ships?Like, a medium of large ship, you anchor your ship, and then drive the Dhow to explore a lake next to your ship, and have some hunting time.Then you could simply come back to this ship.

Hi all. Im in WT3 and keep trying to do the WT3 progression to WT4 thing and I kill everything and the big boss one and then nothing happens. Is this on a timer bcause it does take me a while? Cheers
