Whether you're dropping off loot at an Outpost, or preparing to explore an island for its treasure, remember that the tides can bring other players at a moment's notice.īecause it takes time to raise the anchor, unfurl the sails, and get a correct heading - you may want to prep your departure the moment you get ready to drop anchor. The less attention you draw to yourself, the better. Leaving them on turns your ship into a beacon, especially at night. Your sloop comes equipped with several lanterns: two on the front, one by the wheel, two in the captain's cabin, and one in the hold.
When you've got the items you need from the island you can jump back down onto your ship. Try parking your ship near a cliff and shooting yourself up to the top. You can also shoot yourself out of a cannon to save time - as long as you aim it first. If you turn around from the steering wheel, you can peer down below the overhang to see your position without having to run all the way down into the Captain's Cabin. You should also make sure when you get your Voyage to check out the location of the assignment relative to your position on the map, and mark it - leaving both in view. The anchor, wheel, and rigging are all located near each other, so you can quickly adjust your sail angle to get as much speed as possible without moving far from the wheel. It can be a real chore to have to do everything yourself, but luckily Sloops are built to maximize efficiency. Your ship will make an abrupt and violent sounding U-turn, immediately straighten the wheel and raise anchor, you'll gain several leagues before they realize where you've gone. Spin your wheel in the opposite direction and drop anchor as soon as the opposing ship is out of sight. By taking advantage of your manueverabilty and sight lines you can duck behind a rock while a Galleon goes around the other side.
Keep your cannons loaded just in case you get ambushed, and always have wood planks handy to quickly fix a leak without spending too much time below decks. If you spot a ship near the island you are sailing to - or already docked there - you may want to reconsider stopping. There's always the possibility that you may run into other crews with a friendly disposition - but there's no sense in being prepared for the worst.Īlways be on the lookout for other ships - and use your telescope sparingly to avoid giving others a chance to spot it glinting. It goes without saying, but in a place called Sea of Thieves, friends might be hard to come by.
