Sea of Thieves Quick Initial Tips

[GazzaGarratt 11,051]

Thought it would be good to get some quick basic tips to help people starting out. A few people have given me the following so far:

 

• You can shoot other ships through waves – it sounds like the bottom of the ships are the most successful and dangerous target to focus on.
• Stock up on supplies whenever you can(bananas/wood planks/cannon balls)
• The more treasure on your ship, the riskier you are playing(pirates will be pirates)
• If you are returning treasure, people wait at outposts to steal it. So, if you see a ship or blue smoke in the water at an outpost, someone is there. prepare to fight or go to another one
• Cannon balls arch down and when moving, they arch behind you, practice is all you can do

I really like the concept of the game, but @ £50 it's going to be a while before I get around to playing it.

Just to add a few tips:

-Shooting the bottom of a ship is a necessity as if you don't hit it below the water it won't sink it will just have lots of holes in it but it is a viable tactic to put holes higher up so once it starts sinking it goes fast.

-When using a sword hold rt to do a lunge attack that does alot of damage and stuns.

-The music give you clues, if you hear a menacing string assortment while swimming you are probably near a shark.

- Your ship is expendable treasure is not, if you get into a ship fight at an outpost while trying to take treasure to a vendor sometimes it's worth letting your ship be the decoy and take the treasure while letting your ship sink, as long as there is not more treasure on your ship. Your ship respawns so as long as you get the treasure in you can get to your new shiney ship by using a mermaid.
