The Killer Whale is the correct set for me. All I want to do is fish, and the only loot I collect is from the ungodly amount of Ocean Crawlers, spirits, and skeletons that come onto island shores when I'm collecting bait. Say what you will, but I'm a fisherman.

I was once ambushed by a hunter sloop. The fucker was alone, drunk and fucked up and yet still managed to destroy my ship. They're terrifying

Thank you for the Killer Whale segment, maybe it will spare one fisherman from losing his trophy shadow stormfish some day

You know what's ironic about Reapers? It's said that they stand for "battle and bloodshed", but I've been killed more by non-emissary ships with no loot and more bloodlust than Michael Myers.

The best ship set in the game is a combination of a bunch of parts that look good together rather than a preset

That part about Ghost ships "barrowing down on smaller ships like raging bulls" is definitely true. I was on a sloop and had just sank a skelly sloop, when I went to go poon the loot, a ghost galleon came out of *nowhere* and practically mounted my ship. I didn't survive after that..

thank you for raising awarness for us fishermen that want nothing to with anyone and just wanna fish, please god leave us alone

Damn man you are blast from the past. The mic quality, the music, the voice, everything just invoke nostalgia in me and i love it

I used the admiral hull on a sloop alot and everytime I saw another ship I usually would leave the island I am at as soon as I could to avoid getting sunk (I could probably count on my hand how many friendlies I encountered). Which developed my motto of "if there's another sail it's time to hit the trail"

oh my fuckin god as a solo sloop gold hoarder I feel personally attacked with how accurate you were

I really enjoy the Black Pearl for 1 reason. I just love the movies. Plain and simple. It feels fantastic playing with my regular crew on the galleon with it on and taking down attacking ships while my character is in the Captain Barbossa costume.

So he basically describes anyone using a Gold Hoarder set as "somewhat competent, but still heavily paranoid and generally cowardly"? Yeah... yeah, that's me alright...

The ashen dragon stereotype is so fucking accurate. My friends use only ashen dragon stuff and say everything else is bad. Then proceed to complain about everything like “how did we already sink” when they had 3 kegs BENEATH DECKS THE REAPER ONE IS EVEN MORE ACCURATE. They FUCKING COMPLAIN WHEN ATTACKED.

Back when I did play alot of SoT, every time I went reaper I sorta just thought "If I make almost a million gold today then cool, if I sink after a damn good fight also cool". Not sure why that's not the go to mindset for reapers

Didn't know about the reaper stereotype for the longest time. Me and my friend relentlessly hunted people with that set, and would just surround people in the reaper outfit and point at them while their soul was floating up

"Every Postal 2 needs a Postal 3" Dude, ow... true but, ow..

A small thing about the Xbox set. Yes, it's "harder" to play with a controller than keyboard and mouse, but 90% of the combat isn't about the quickscoping and sensitivity, it's about tactics. Know where your enemy is, what they are doing and predict what they are going to do, and you can wreck them. I play with a controller despite being on PC (long story), and I still win a majority of the time against other players, because I actually know what I'm doing. So the controller isn't even an excuse! Learn to adapt.

Wait the wild rose one was accurate for me and my best friend for a long time. We stayed in one island for a long time because we were being idiots , hanging out, making each other laugh… good times.

that killer instinct one is shockingly true, I fought a gally with those damn sails for like an hour with me mate and after I finally boarded them and got all 4 they sunk

glad you've mentioned mercenary!!! been using the hull for years! you honestly couldn't be more right about my incompetence with the sword, yet i find myself doing pvp way more then fort bosses.

Me and my friends use the parrot kit for our ship. You described parrot crews really acuratlly

As someone who is new to SoT, I use the hunter hull livery and plain black sails. I try to do my quests without being noticed but that doesn't always work out. Haha! I just subbed to your channel. Keep up the great content!

ngl, this is pretty much spot on.

100% weird comment or whatever since im tired and i have to be up in 3 hours so i am saving this for morning but based off of channel updates it seemed super stressful to produce and i am so excited to watch this because you spent a lot of time on it and i know it is going to be great :) seeing it uploaded made my night

Being a forsaken is one of the most fun things in the game, cus its the ship set I see the least. I designed my entire outift around forsaken, ashen curse, and scorched forsaken stuff (Ashen winds). my cat is an ashen curse cat, and both my weapons are forsaken. I can agree about the devils roar part, but I also love to hang around the ancient isles and find fishermen. I then make alliances with them and do missions while they fish, and we both get rep and money from one another. I run at full ghost set and Dark adventurer, I either parley all others (if possible, if not then we fight) except parrots which I avoid altogether.

Addition: the shrouded ghost set, people who have this never actually killed a shrouded or probably even seen one. These guys only use the sword and sniper. They think there tough just because they spent 5-10 dollars on a Ship set. Advice: don’t use the shrouded set until you actually killed the shrouded and have the title that proves it.

Can't exactly blame pve reapers. It's one of the easiest to level factions in the game, since it takes every kind of loot. Everyone knows that as far as lore goes reapers are *supposed* to be all about fighting and plundering. For some reason rare didn't consider this with their mechanics though. And not everyone cares about rp that much. Should've implemented that you only get the maximum amount of gold and rep if the turned in loot was previously claimed by someone else, like with fallen flags.

When it comes to the stereo types for alliance flags, I'd say, if they got gold hoarder emissary they fall into two types, The Gits who just need more gold for pirate legend stuff, and The Pussies of the reaper emissaries. The second is because they are just reapers emissaries who are so scared of being seen on the map they hide at ports as gold hoarders and chase ANY ship (even if they got no loot or on a tale tale) to the fartherest reaches of the map and YES even through flameheart islands even if they get heavily damaged, Oh they are also more likely to triple board if they are on a galleon. I write this due to my many experiences with players who do this.

Order ships have random loot because it's usually easier to find good skulls through the RNG of island hopping. Bounty quests are a pain in the ass. Especially when you're a solo sloop trying to track down a single specific spawnpoint on an island the size of Thieves Haven.

Thanks for the killer whale, I am not one but they deserve respect for there grind and they deserve better

The amount of times ive seen shark hunters replicate The Video is astounding… and each time they succeed.

I know these are supposed to be a joke but they are surprisingly accurate and actually helps me predict the approaching ship a lot.

Ik I am late but Jesus that gold hoarder one was spot on

5:47 this is too accurate. This is exactly what I do except I don’t server hop and usually end up getting bullied by the person I charged lmao

Stellar and worth the wait, as always

6:45 thank you, its annoying to be a fisher these days

The reaper one is totally true. My friend and I were on an unpainted sloop once, a reaper galleon flying emissary but also alliance went past us, ran into a rock and sunk.

I was always curious if you were ever gonna talk about your “copywrite infringement” bit again. Man what a time to be alive where blasting “He’s a Pirate” actually makes sense and is very fitting.

I used to run the hunter set and he described me form a year back perfectly.

As a Nightshine Parrot user, yes, I am a fort vulture.

It's too late, Randy-Bo-Bandy's grease runs deep, once he touches something there is no getting it out, wonder if that is why Duke went all rotten, grease was too strong

6:18 you know unless something unexpected happens in the next few weeks, this stereotype is gonna apply to the party boat set

Been waiting a while and so far I am NOT disappointed, great work.

I'm... surprised. My mates got me into sea of thieves 2 weeks ago and we've been playing on and off together. The one amongst us who's played the most started us off with a tall tale. He uses the wild rose set. I got it all myself since I thought it was pretty good good looking. Difference is I rock the Spanish Inquisition look and do whatever I fancy lol

Gotta love those 480p bangers

Always an elite series

8:48 oh thats why i sank so many times, my friend always picked this

Cliff the story guy is really the only one honoring the point of being a reaper’s bones emmisary and everyone else is a runner’s bones emmisary lol

I have been waiting for this video for so long keep up the good work

i remember getting chased by a merchant galleon as a 2 man brig (third guy had to go) for like 40 minutes straight, they were running the full merchant set, emissary and all and were ruthlessly persuing us until they got distracted when we sailed them into a world event lol, i guess we can't interfere with their trade routes if they kill us xd

"no one owns the Merc ship set" Me a merc: I have the se- wait do I?

Definitely worth the wait. Great video as always!

The Merchant Ambassador is my go-to set (especially now that it's complete) or mixed in with the Merchant sails/hull/wheel/capstan and sea dog cannons (easy aiming with those). I never shoot first. I literally never attack first. But, if you attack my ship, the night is over at that point. We'll have a running naval battle on the seas until one or both finally have to call it a night hours later. I will run you by forts if I'm outnumbered and outmatched. I will firebomb your ship a hundred times over. I'll keg as many times as needed, and once the opportune moment arises I'll double back to chainshot and circle you until sunk (normally once you're on fire and at least one or two crew members are on the ferry). The exception to my never attack first rule is Reapers. They get sunk any chance I get.

never go above 480p

You described me so perfectly with Wild Rose I can’t believe it

I got the mentality of a Shark hunter, the skins of a ghost, and the combat ability of a Morningstar.

As a parrot ship player, I have never been offended by something I 100% agree with

Awesome video! Just wanted to say even thought you funny post often, you are very active in the sea of thieves community, I see you on Reddit all the time, and am always happy to hear what you have to say

I waited 69 years for this, and I am not disappointed. Great Video

Honestly, mic isn't bad at all. Good vid man, I enjoy seeing the hilarious shit you cook up.

A noob reaper 3 brigatine hard anchored and vollied our defensless fishing sloop to pieces while we were fishing at mermaids hideaway. After pistol/snipe two tapping the crew comming after us on the island and complaining about us being " f-ing sweat lords." we politly told them that if they knew better they would have left the fishing boat alone and now, theyre going to get sweated on. 10min later we dumbster them with default supplies in our sloop and then went back to fishing while collecting their salty reaper tears about fishingboats. Moral of the story: experienced players would have checked. Noobs, learn the hard way.

Full Bone Crusher ship and outfit is my favorite to run, love the aesthetic

0:30 "Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things."

Another banging vid lad.

I just recently picked up this game, and I’ve been looking up tons of stuff about it to get good. One of the first things I did when I got the money was get the Hunter stuff, since I think it looks really cool and fits my irl vibe. I also mostly solo sloop. … …I think I am about to become a monster…

Shark Hunter/Hunter; "youll never see these do a Fort alone but that one sloop in a 4 ship alliance is usually them" me... that's me, nail on the head.

“Every postal 2 has a postal 3” I just found your channel and haven’t played sea of thieves for years but, I already love you holy shit

4:47 Alright let me add something to that I mostly smile when im on PC and if your on PC expect little 7 year olds who are new to the game and will also beg you not to sink them I experienced most players of the xbox ship set to beg you not to take there loot or be toxic over the mic.

I like it

2:30 idk about the stereotypes but the kraken ship sets look amazing, all three of them. Totally overlooked and underappreciated

Bro I'm with the gold hoarders and you perfectly explained my pirate

Finally.. after all this time..

E?

One I'd like to add. Triumphant Sea Dog ship set. This set is mainly used by TDMers who step out into adventure once every major update. They're good at pirate vs pirate combat but bad at everything else. Also if they manage to kill you once, they will bucket you like there is no tommorow.

It's a good day when Bacxaber uploads

4:57 so he’s basically saying:Fuck you because you won’t/can’t buy a 2000$pc

*“I’ve been looking forward to this”*

The GH one is almost spot on, I am decent to good at fighting but I do also never have loot because I often do not hold onto it till grade 5 when Im solo slooping

Me and my brother in our sloop being paranoid and watching a far away sloop who was approaching thieves haven, only for it to get instantly fucking folded by a ghost galleon just sitting in the middle which slowly emerged from inside the island to consume its prey will always be the most terrifying and cinematically cool moment in sea of thieves ever. This was back in like 2018 or so, and the ‘Athena 10’ ships as we called them were THE thing to fear

Your stereotypes for order of souls (what I am) is semi accurate lol for me at least

I used to think the reaper stereotype was exaggerated until I got ddosed by a running reaper galleon while solo slooping

I often use a combo of Gilded pheonix and merchant ambassador, but sometimes go for a mixture of hunter and magpie.

6:21 Basically that old Six Flag's commercial with the old man dancing

"THE BLUE GUNS!" gets me every time.

Man these are incredible. I dont know why now all of a sudden youtube decided I needed to see these but I'm glad it happened. Also, my theory on "Running Reapers" is that its the people like me that are terrible at PvP but need to raise reaper to level it up lol. We cant actually fight, we just want to get it leveled up and be done with it lmao. Then I hit resume and that's exactly what you said haha.

Me as merchant: I can already feel like I am turning into what exactly you just said

The gold hoarder one is so true 😂

I love how you make these videos thay crack me up lol 😂

5:57 Good thing I’m not such stereotype, I got his set cause I was a massive fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and got to meet Depp while I was in the hospital for cancer…

About that merchant one, I can verify it, as a person who merchant to pirate legend i can say that that does happen the only thing you forgot was that merchant ships will be immediately friendly with other merchant ships even to the point of an alliance

great vid keep it up and i hope i catch u on the waves :)

wow i just rewatched this and barly noticed how almost on point he was with the gold horder type

The Sea Hobo is extremely accurate. Only one I’ve seen was a gally that sunk our 2 gally alliance 4 times each like it was nothin and we ain’t no slouch

May Betty White rest in peace

“Galleon arena is dead” Oh non-time traveler… you have no idea…

“Violence is the question and the answer is yes” -Bacxaber

I use the full Castaway Bilge Rat set lmao, and the full clothes set except for the shirt because funny bare chested pirate, I guess I'm just a sea hobo at heart. If I was to make a stereotype for myself and my mates playing Sea of Thieves, here's what I reckon it would be. "If you see this guy, you can be absolutely sure he already sees you and he's thinking about how to react. These ships are usually sloops or brigs, and they're always paranoid about being attacked out of nowhere, and so they always have someone standing guard. If they're a Gold Hoarder or Order emissary, they'll probably run away from you on sight, but if they're a Reaper emissary, they'll charge you on sight and probably try and keg you. It doesn't usually work out very well for them, but you can be damn sure they'll try again if they see you again."

7:23 I love the way he described it

My friends and I related to the merchant stereotype, sometimes we dress in full merchant attire, rock the merchant ship and emissary. And we hunt any ship we can get our hands on. We’re basically doing what reapers can’t, pvp
