Piastre and Guinea Farming Tips:
--------------------------------
* Sell trade goods at Faction main bases regularly: Provisions,
Spirits, Contraband, and similar items have no use sitting in
your inventory. Each faction buys different commodities, so
check which base accepts what before sailing.
* Sell spare Guineas to the Smuggler Provisioner: At 20 Piastres
per Guinea, surplus cosmetic currency converts directly into
spendable income. Skip this only if you are actively building
or decorating.
* Run faction quests in sequence: Each completed quest builds
reputation and pays out directly, making it more efficient
than grinding combat zones for random drops.
* Read every note and letter you find: The buried treasure system
relies entirely on environmental objects. Skipping notes means
skipping Guineas.
* Check chest counters on island maps: The "0/X" counter shows
remaining undiscovered caches in a region. Search elevated
terrain first.
* Upgrade base Comfort: Higher base comfort increases stamina
and stamina recovery, which directly improves performance
during long farming sessions and boss encounters.
Best Stats To Level Up First:
-----------------------------
* Level your main weapon stat first,
* Add Endurance early if stamina is holding the build back.
* Add Vitality early if you are dying too quickly,
* Add Precision because it supports Rapier, Pistol, and Musket on
one offensive stat.
* Leave Mastery until later unless you are intentionally building
around crits.
Place Fast Travel Points Before a POI:
--------------------------------------
You get your first Fast Travel bell inside the smuggler den in the
middle of the starter island. You need two fast travel bells or more
to move from one point to another. So, before you dive into a dungeon,
we recommend creating two points from your base to the dungeon or
other POI.
Tips and Tricks:
----------------
* Looting chests doesn’t pause the game. When looting chests and even
your post-mortem cache, you can still get hit by enemies.
* Always look for Piastre and Guinea. These are currencies found early
on and used heavily later. See a green or rarer highlight at the seas?
Pick it up.
* Look for the quality-of-life buttons in item management. You can sort
your inventory, storage chests, and ship inventory with a click of a button.
* Can’t find a chest or a treasure in an area? Try looking for a hidden
ladder going down, some debris you can mine, some vines you can destroy,
or even using a shovel to dig through the ground.
* Also, don’t waste time picking up loot while sailing on a boat. Wait
until you unlock the Ketch, so you can easily pick them up as long as
they are within the radius of the boat.
* Swapping to your melee weapon is faster than reloading.
* You need both bullets and gunpowder to fire a gun. There are slots in
your ammo inventory, separate from your backpack.
* Always look at your rested buff when exploring. It regenerates your
stamina even faster; it is kind of broken (in a positively powerful way),
too.
* You can have two food buffs and an elixir buff active at once.
* Weapons and armor are upgradable. Materials are quite easy to farm early,
so fast-track your gear to Item Level 200 early. You can be pickier when
ascending weapons or going past item level 6 upgrades, since it’ll now use
some rare tools for upgrades.
* Always bring a Fast Travel Bell and Wood when traveling. You never know
if there’s going to be a hard encounter, and you want to travel there
immediately when you die to save some time.
* Repair Kits only repair outside of combat. Combat Repair Kits allow you
to heal during combat, but it is harder to craft.
* You can always reposition your ship by recalling it.
* If you see those "level 2" or "level 3" station requirements, you must
unlock new buildings based on their building category. For example, placing
the new building has no interactions, like the Sawhorse. It just upgrades
the Workbench.
* Trying to build a base, but can’t find any roof corners? You’ll still have
to progress and unlock those recipes.
* You can refill the Lamp’s light source at the workbench.
* Always carry stacks of Bandages when exploring. Health potions are great,
but Bandages are more resource-efficient.
* You can always craft a workbench anywhere without a bonfire. This allows
you to craft useful items like bandages, repair kits, and bullets while
exploring.
* Resetting your talents is free. Just go to the talent page and press "Z."
No strings attached. The same goes for your stat or attributes.
* Always look into your tooltip notifications under the minimap. These
usually contain important notifications, such as acquiring new Plans &
Recipes in the Curios, so you can manually learn new things.
* The Ketch, or any ship outside the simple boat, has a ship cargo inventory
where you can store items.
* Remember to fully gear up your ship with cannons, hull modifications,
crew equipment, and more.
* You can repair your ship by interacting with the Wharf and pressing on
the health icon of a specific ship. It is resource-efficient and instant.
* All loot plundered at the seas using your ship will be inside the ship’s
cargo and not your inventory.
* Place markers for spots with easy-to-find resources, like an area with
several boar spawns. These don’t have icons on the map, but you can manually
make one to remember where to find them.
* Exploring and side quests are highly recommended, even practically mandatory.
If you try to breeze through the main quest, you’ll always be severely
underlevelled. Explore and finish side quests for experience points.
* Finishing points of interest give you experience points, which is somewhat
the main way of leveling up in the game.
* Quests are shared in multiplayer as long as the host has enabled it in the
server settings.
* Insignias are important to keep for later on. They are used to increase
reputation with all factions in the game. It’ll be an intense grind, so keep
looking for these Insignias.
* Looking to stop playing the game to watch or do something else? Leave the
game on while setting your ship to sail in a direction so you can start
exploring more of the game’s enormous map.
* If you run out of stamina while swimming, you’ll start drowning and start
to lose HP.
* You can only have 10 active fast travel points at a time. This is separate
from the fixed fast-travel points, like the Tortuga Market.
* Always craft and bring a Homeward Journey. You never know when you need
to travel back home instantly.
* If you have to fight more than two ships at a time, try to sail at the
center so you can literally use each side of the boat to shoot. If you fight
them on one side, each of those ships will fire once at you, and you can only
shoot once.
