It’s disappointing that your crew doesn’t fight the pirates crew

Another tip is for Kenton if you speak to him when hes on your ship your able to get a quest from him to raid the navy base which might be a little hard for lower levels but once you complete the quest it upgrades kenton into an elite quarter master. Theres also another quarter master that you can easily get in frostmil island, if you speak to the wizard in the tower after youve finished the story in frostmil he will give you a quest to complete his research once you complete his 3 quests (their really easy just collect ingredients) you have an option to recruit him, although he doesnt give any buffs and is only a rookie quarter master he allows you to enchant your stuff on your ship whenever you want

Fun fact: the NPCs that offer little buffs around the maps ARE NOT technically quartermasters. They actually replace the crew members, and they have a claim limit of up to a third of the total crew count (1 for sailboat, 2 for caravel, 3 for ketch). They also can get upgraded with higher renown and also some galleons.

Kinda wish there was a feature where your crew could attack enemy crew directly or a way to direct them to attack certain targets automatically, but with much worse performance so that the player would be able to contribute to the fight Edit: it would be nice for at least a lower deck in some earlier ships

The ship system is so similar to Black Flag's that it made me feel nostalgic

Correction at 3:54 those are a completely different kind of ship crew called deckhands. They are completely unrelated to Quartermasters as they require fame or bounty to be hired and have their own slot respectively. Quartermasters also seem to be more or less hired through quests as the 2 Quartermasters atm can be hired through quest and act as their own NPC as you can talk to them such as Kenton who can be evolved through a personal side quest of his giving more stats compared to before while Arizor will be able to enchant items for you on the ship when you talk to him.

Dude, this is the best Arcane Odyssey tutorial vid I've ever watched I'm not even joking or exaggerating, all the info is concise and amazing, I learned so much from this one vid. Thanks a lot man! The captions helped me focus too :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO ACCESS THE SHIPYARD AND ACROSS 7 VIDEOS YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE

As someone who thought they were very experienced regarding ships, (as I spent almost the entirety of my 30 hours to level 125 messing around with ships and upgrading it as much as I possibly could), I had no idea that was how crates worked. Thank you!

the quality of this video is magnificent and the information is top tier

subbed this dude is a pro at making guides it contains all the information you would really need. all his guides were sufficient and efficient

Go from Ravenna to Frostmill, it’s much easier especially since Redwake has a lot of structures that can slow u down and cause u to hit something and frostmill is the same distance just easier to get to

As a lower level, this guide really helped out seeing as they didnt previously have ships in World of Magic. Thats a sub!

THANK YOU! I REALLY NEEDED THIS VIDEO, THE SHIP STUFF GETS ME CONFUSED.

They should add an item thats similar to that roman device where it would latch onto a ship and turn it into a groundbattle, where your crew would fight their crew and you would fight their captain.

"It would be really annoying if they asked for wages" - average disneyland executive

actually the goat for making this video

Alright so I’ve got a question for you guys, do you prefer the Caravel or the Ketch? Personally I prefer the Ketch because you get an extra quartermaster slot, 10 more sailing speed, and one more set of cannons along with way better cannon placement to aim at other ships. I don’t mind not having a battering ram.

always posting useful tutorials

I just subscribed.. Really detailed guide about boats in AO.

10:30 One of tthe big perks of being a criminal is that you don't need to buy crates (you can steal them) If you go from revenna to whitesummit (the criminal shipwright is there), you get 99 gal (and you didn't waste 50 on buying them either)

Amazing video this is so informative

Thank you for this helping me alot!

6:47 another strategy i use to kill higher level captains/quartermasters is to shoot at them with a musket, this will make them come to you without the rest of the crew joining in, this will both get them with some bonus damage with the shot and the freezing affect of the sea, then you could just finish off the crew

Excellent tutorial for Ship battles and more honestly. And it's the first time I've heard that deckhand stats actually increase in percentages I guess? Depending on both rarity and it's current level. I'm gonna have to re-evaluate my knowledge and see which is correct and which is wrong whilst plugging up some missing infos I might have forgotten or not noticed while im playing the game. Again, thanks King. Very cool. :thumbs up:

thanks for the tutorial this is ool, and another thing is that if you have a boat with sails,for those who don't know the wind direction is a double edge sword, it can make u slow or fast, u will see some lines in the air going in a certain direction thats the wind, u will go faster if you go the same direction as the wind cause it will push the sails and let you go really fast, but if you gothe opposite way u are going way slowlier, its a good realistic mecchanic and this game is just amazing

I was overjoyed when i found out about the ship fighting in AO. I already knew a bit on how to do it cuz of Assassin creed odyssey ship fights ;)

Great guide

This is the only guide that helped me i just thought my crew was trash

one thing i love about this game is the world building and how one ting effects another

Nice video I don't play the game only pilgrammed lmao. But still nice job doing the content go crazy you and CabbageLord!

LORD SENDO IS BACK I JUST NOTICED YESSSS

Sendo, could you make a smaller video on treasure hunting? It feels like a feature that is often completely overlooked by many, even though it offers pretty great rewards, for example sealed chests. Would love a vid on that. Other than that, loved this more in depth guide of the ship mechanics!

Thank god you added an explanation to sinking ships, I was ship hunting and saw 2 players jump on those 2 pirate ketches and kill all the pirates and nada then killed both of them

I highly recommend getting Kenton early game, not just because he's a free quartermaster but because he does show up later on in the game's story. So it's just a nice to see that exclusive stuff.

While I can’t speak for anyone, I don’t see why anyone would need this kind of tutorial, but nonetheless it is fairly well made and explains then clearly

forgot to mention once your level 30 if you talk to the wizard in enchantment wizard in frostville or whatev and do his quest he can be your quartmermaster, he gives no buffs but u can enchant your weapons with him wherever you are

ty alot now i can get better armor and cannons on my ship

Just a quick correction, you can also get sealed chests from doing treasure maps

W lord sendo

4:18 The upcoming update will actually add a new method to get sealed chests which is to find them at diving points.

I would say if you're doing cargo runs frostmill to Ravenna or the other way is better as you get 108 per crate and you don't have to navigate through the jaws which saves a lot of time

Common LordSendo W

You can also get sealed chests from treasure charts

Sealed chests can also he obtained through a treasure map, and stranded sailors can give you maps in you're lucky.

Alright, alright, so lemme get this straight (straight?). 1. Get a crew so they can bang through the cannons as a gang 2. Get heavy cannons for extra penetration 3. Maneuver behind the enemy whenever possible so you can blow on their back 4. Ram the enemy from the side, HARD! 5. Get their ship sinking so they start trying to hop on your big boat 6. Size matters, as the treasure you get scales in value based on the size of distance covered

Deckhands are just crew but with buffs, and sealed chest can be also gained via treasure charts.

Quick lil tip you can enchant some parts of your ship like the sail or cannon.

my god thank you i was trying to figure out how to make my crew to shoot enemies

Please mention the Deckhands you can obtain around areas, it's easy for players who aren't super invested in the environment to just glance over the deckhand NPCs and not interact with them, which essentially nerfs your ship's potential. Also, you should describe what each stat does so players understand what they want to try and work for the most.

Ravenna to Frostmill gives about 90 galleons per crate! Good tutorial, really helpful

It seems like Quartermasters will be upgradeable through quests just like how they're obtained and the renown based crewmembers you can hire in most ports are actually deck hands and will just join the crew in place of regular crew members at the cannon stations. The difference between deckhands and quartermasters being how they're upgraded and how many you can have with deckhands taking up 1/3rd of the total crew on any given ship at MAX and a quartermaster count being dependant on the ship. Another difference would be how you upgrade them; at level 65 kenton offers a quest to upgrade his buffs and general character whereas to increase the buffs of your deckhands you just need to pay galleon sums and gain enough renown. Also this video might need an update with the additions of attachments (harpoons etc.), The brig coming soon (with a LOAD of features) and also how Quartermasters can now order the crew to unload any cargo on the deck of the ship for you which allows for faster sales instead of you being the only heavy lifting crewmember (though sadly they don't walk around, its just automatic selling in range of shipwrights)

Love the inspiration from Black flag 4. The game is amazing

Nice soothing voice m8

Cargo runs are generally much more beneficial for criminals cause you can just steal them plus you get a higher bounty which helps with recruiting good people on your ship… Also yeah xp. Did a huge cargo run from ravenna to whitepeak with 40+ crates, gave me like 2k galleons and leveled me up like 6 or so levels (level 94 after the cargo run before I was level 87 or 88) I did it in a server with a server poulation on 4 people.

Tip: if you are hero it's harder to find sealed chests because you will have to look specifically only for pirate and assassin ships

This game has that AC4 blackflag feeling. Tradelands still takes the cake for the best ship combat game ever, because it has multi crewing and more inpdepth. However AO has cool features.

Imagine if devs make your crew able to load and unload the cargos for you, that’d be so cool and make things easier

You can Ask the quartermaster to unload the ship for you with the crew

Imagine if you could order your crew to dock your ship for you, or when you die and you spawn near an area where your ship is nearby, order your crew to bring your ship to you.

As an old player of assasin creed: black flag, i was excited about a similar combat system and customisation system being added to arcane odyssey. Ship game-play is the second reason i'm playing arcane odyssey for (the first one being it's amazing story in a open world mmorpg) and it upsets me as well to see so many people playing this beautiful game without knowing how ships work. It also surprises me that some of those players that actually know how ship quartermasters work, actually have only Edward Kenton as quartermaster and not enizor that i believe to be one of the characters with the most interesting lore. I really like how there is finally a video explaining to all people how ship works on ao. I hope to see more content in the future talking about sip updates an ao in general.

treasure maps also get you sealed chests

You can enchant rams, cannons, and sails btw

btw you can park your ship infront of the enemy ship if they dont have a ram to shoot them

I’ve been ship batting since arcane adventures

4:17 you can also get sealed chest from treasure maps lol

I don't find the distance between ships to be of much importance tbh, NPC ships fire once in a blue moon and you can dish out triple the damage they can in the same amount of time, so if you can't aim very well just ram the ship and start combooing shots at a close distance

The ship mechanics gives me flashbacks of Assasins creed: Black Flag and its beautifull for me.

Hearthstone music hits different

Thanks for the advice but I'll keep ramming them and shooting them at close range gladiator style

Don't miss out, gun pounder is also very valuable.

i personally prefer the caravel to the ketch, the ketch is faster and more durable sure but the caraval is the only ship that can use rams which is extremely viable in ship battles

bro this video was SO helpful, but where do i find these locked chests???

Nice good, but you left the deckhand/ travelers, who are random npcs who can be hired and are placed in the add-on slot, they only give more stats to the ship, but are a difficult to hire them because they ask 100.000 points of fame.

If u have the funni explosive cannonballs, any ships hit by them will got their hull deleted by 80-50%

U have to say that, the arcanium canons aand rams are ONLY the same element that u are, for examplr, if u are warlord u cant get a magma arcanium canon or snow arcanium RAM, u Will get a non Magic arcanium parts, also if u are an acid Mage u Will get acid cannons and rams, and if u are lightnlng u Will get lightnlng cannons and rams, so the other way to get another elements cannons and rams u Will have to trade with another person

My first queartermaster was enizor i just did his quest then i just clicked a dialogue to invite him

For getting chest you must defeat player ships or npc ships? Btw the wizard of the ice island where you fight Iris can be a quartermaster too just complete all his quests

Im struggling with ship combat in Arcane Odyssey so I need these tips although I barely have any upgrades on my ship sooo…

1:50 Fortunately slaves are legal in arcane odyssey.

can you make a video discussing clans?

If you guys can't sink ships cuz it's too hard, new update features diving points, these can have sealed chests so use them to get better stuff for your ship

They could’ve worded it better with sinking the ships Like “disable the ship before you board” and then the ship sinks afterwards

Deckhands are not like quartermasters btw they are like extra crew you get that give stats

I can’t believe I just missed like 5 sealed chests because I left the pirates for dead after I destroyed their ship

Man I’m gonna rewatch curse of the black pearl just cause of that intro

I typically just ram the ship and the blast them with my ultimate

yo can you please tell me where you got that grey hood that ur wearing in game i havent been able to find out how to get it and it looks dope

as a assassins creed black flag enjoyer, Arcane Odyssey just fills the good spot so dam well on every angle

treasure charts can also give you sealed chests

Ships!

I think a pretty good one is also going from sailors lodge to the marine island (dont remember its name) they buy them for 66 its basically 1/3 of the way but the only downside is that you cant buy from them but then again its 1/3 of the way so you make the same money (maybe even more) for 2/3 of the way if i am wrong pls do correct me.

I want to know why my ship actually decided to drown on its own. I know the ocean swells up and starts damaging my ship and I think there is no way to avoid it.

You can get the alchemist by defeating his quest at the ice place

I have questions about quartermasters, if you can recruit them with fame, do you lose your fame afterwards? And does criminal have their own quartermaster that they can recruit with bounty?

love ao ship system kinda combines sea of thieves with a rpg game

"ship fightings not gonna come to you instantly" me who plays ac blackflag

moonlight explaining how to win in a ship fight with cannons... Me: We do a little bit of ramming

hippity hoppity the sailors are now my property

We need more ships that can equip rams. I prefer a choice to engage in glorious melee combat with my ship and a choice to blast them to pieces.
