Yes they added that an update after this video was released 😅 Edit: at the time of the video they didn't drop.

@@PhuzzyBond ok, cool keep up the good work. As a fellow player I find them fun and informative.

especially phantoms

Yesterday I was rowboating kehs from an fof and a phantom shot one of the kegs on the rowboat and blew me up. They were just vibing on an island I passed by. Lmao

Agreed

@@thatonepotatopotatogarden9125 they're really good shots, too i've been gunned down swimming to my boat with a chest way too many times

Picaroon palms is the worst, i got 7 ghost crews and 15 attacks from ocean crawlers in under 10 minutes, i had to quit my voyage. Not to mention the attack from a skeleton brig.

Certainly a lot easier than simply storm chasing and hoping to be struck by lightning, even if the sword acts as a lightning rod when you have it out

Just fish!

@@tylerwhalen7792 Why fish when you can commit murder ? Plus a gem is 1500$ and a fish is like 80$

@@thewildruda6113 fish assist in the murdering. Cooked fish = Overheal magic

You barely get a any gems for the hoard you have to kill on every island

The wrong fish is 80.

Ikr

Yeah everyone and their mother kept trying to get me... Luckily i had a trident of dark tides to deal with some of them

I tried it 5 months ago and been playing every day since. My advice is watch a lot of Phuzzy videos for learning basics, find a good crewmate and try to play sloop with and learn from a veteran. Once you get comfy with all the basics, took me 2 months, then try Reapers and attacking ships or instead of running from other ships, try fighting back and you will get a little better after each battle.

don't give up on the game if it gets hard, my dude the game can get difficult and frustrating at times, but holy crap this game is amazing

@@TheBalls2thewalls I’d say start attacking ships quicker. There’s no benefit to NOT learning PVP as soon as possible. I just started 2 weeks ago and me and my buddy always fly reaper. We took down a galleon on a sloop the other day and it was so satisfying

Same bro i started about a year ago and gave but now im playing it everyday

I just play pve and run away, still really rewarding

In insiders they could spawn near outposts. Haven't tried seeing if they spawn in retail yet.

Or Just farm gold/use them to help killing skellies

A good tip to know is to fight them as though as they were other players (bunny hoping, double guns etc.) if you move around enough phantoms will almost never land a hit

Fortunately, they drop coin bags now ... but i still hate 'em

he's my favorite SoT youtuber, period

@@kasioedits oh yeah phuzzy is definitely my favorite sea of thieves KZfaqr right now

I use Blurbs and this channel for guides and pvp clips. They are both really good and a collab would be cool, if they haven't already done so

Had that happen too

Makes for great gem farming though; we were at a ship wreck and almost got more treasure out of farming sirens than we did from the wreck itself

Nah I like when they fight each other

I have been zapped many times by hitting or shooting these while nowhere near water, the only time I haven't been zapped is when I make sure I'm out of range of it. I haven't tried the firebombs since I first noticed it doesn't ignite them so can't confirm, but knowing Phuzzy, he would have tested a few times before coming to this conclusion.

That expat that one phenomenon that happened on stream, firebombs never zapped me back except that on time, so standing on water makes sense . I'll test it further tho.

Phantoms will fight skellies as well

Cool😁

Do a merchant voyage with a sunken ship. I haven't done a single one where sirens haven't spawned. Also they like to pop up with sharks after a meg kill. Speaking of megs, has anyone tried the siren trident on a meg? It completely wrecks them.

I hope they drop things from order of souls quests. I'm almost done getting to pirate legend and it's so boring and hard now.

@@alistairschofield4599 Aye, I got PL by just doing things like Skelly ships and megs.

I wonder if it differs what type of music matters. Per say stitcher's sorrow would be more effective since the sirens singing is some sad music right? Just a thought

Hey Exo 😊 good to see you here, and you're welcome

Yeah... But the hitbox for it is scuffed. so always stay as far as possible

Not just ocean crawlers

Dealing with phantoms is a bit like dealing with players, only much easier. The only significant difference being that phantoms teleport every now and then. And they're far slower with their attacks than the average player. I've not yet seen a definitive pattern to the teleporting, but I have seen them use it to chase players that are running, which might be why you're not able to escape them as easily as other mobs. Each phantom has a sword and a ranged weapon which they swap between. If a phantom has a sword out and is outside melee range but within lunge range, it will charge up a sword lunge with very similar properties to a player's lunge. If you dodge or get out of range of the lunge, the phantom will be stunned just like a player that misses. It's also possible for them to get stuck behind a rock or other object while lunging so try to get something between yourself and the phantom if it's charging. If they have a ranged weapon out, check what weapon type it is (pistol, blunder, sniper) and deal with it accordingly. (shoot blunder from range, get in close with sword against the other 2)

I say its the eel-ectric ones that are annoying. Hermits the least of my concerns
