Solo players UNITE! Uh.. wait

Best tip for larger ships: Never open crew

I watched a pirate stashing chests on sharkbait from the bushes. They didnt see me at all. I didnt attack but i moved one chest around a corner and watched them be confused lol

I am a main solo player, and do my part at its best. I agree to all these, I have learned from all my hours to PL and Athena 8 so far. But the rule here that I haven't done nor could've found usefull is number 3. It might just be me as a player who always notice someone or a ship before they get close, but I prefer to always get all my chests on board and leave off in a hurry if someone get close, or fight them. It is pretty easy to fight solo against any other ship when you get used to it and have the basic rules such as never have your ship in a sitting duck position. Always lure the enemy to ride their ship straight at yours while you can cannonfire at them and leave off last second. This gives much bigger chance of survival and victory. Because people say so and it seems logical, being a running sloop isnt always the best, nor the only rule you should follow. I cant remember last time I ran away without fighting till victory or they give up. Someone gotta chase the other, I am mostly the one being chased, and THAT is the secret in having a successful battle. Lure the enemy in the perfect position and you are stronger than that 4-man galleon all on your own. Nobody will read this anyways, but that only leaves me with my tips'n tricks for my own advantage. I do not agree with 5 either, but that's just personal preference. I rather get a good voyage with good animals and do it, finish it and start a new one.

Another advise that I use when I solo sloop = Don't do quest on the big island (with bad visibility), only on average and small island where you can easily watch around you and see other boats coming =)

Hiding treasure before loading never once occured to my mind, probably because encountering people while you’re working is so uncommon.

And don't forget about the Rowboat escape pod Tactic.

I've found that aiming for the base of the kraken's tentacles makes it easier to hit them since the are the part of the tentacle that moves the least

Could you please make a video on the types of megalodons. Not really how to defeat them but reviewing them and their personalities and maybe do some speculative lore.

Perfect IPM!! Information per Minute . Concise , well edited, and witty! Subscribed because my time is valued on this Channel. Thanks!

This is actually the best new/solo SoT tips I have come across. Almost every video iv seen geared to new players 1 out of 10 tips they talk about are actually useful for beginning players. Good work on this video

This is actually the most useful video I've ever seen aimed at begginers in any game. Thank you so much!

0:00 would like to see all of that battle.

Amazing quality video, thanks for this really helped ! Also your voice sounds amazing dude quality is awesome, how you only have 30k subs is a tragedy! Wish you all the success you deserve.

Love your theme tune Falcore. N.E.S was the best fantasy adventure film of the eighties!! Great SOT advice for noobs and advanced solo players alike. You forgot to mention that's it's handy being a luck dragon too! All the best.

AHHH!!! Wait it's a default galleon, we're safe

Thanks! I use most of these tips to begin with, but the anchor tip was actually really great! Thanks falcore!

Thanks man. Great tips . So much respect/apperication for you taking time to put the work into the videos. Hope you are well. Maybe see you on the sea 1 day.

I shall be showing my friends this video as they've just joined SoT, because you've done the perfect job explaining the things that I can't be bothered to teach them! 😂

If you want to practice extra maneuverability, the anchor can be used in a similar way to a handbrake turn. If you're going forward and need to redirect FAST and have the distance from the target to do so, or are trying to feint them, an anchor turn can be very useful, but it needs practice

I love when I am soloing in a Sloop and a 4 man crew Galleon is trying so hard to sink me and i just go against the wind and they give up lmaooo one of the most important tips imo

Great Job Cpt Falcore! I really am learning solo sloop the hard way. Yesterday i've been betrayed by another 2 men sloop just after the skull-fort... I was able to follow and catch-up to them (sailing better) @ the outpost. Only with my "I will kill you no matter what" ship sacrifice maneuver was i able to overcome their ship, loosing mine too and killing them both...but after that i was alone @ outpost with ALL the stuff they wanted to steal. ;)

Thanks for the guide Falcore, helpful and much appreciated.

What also comes in handy: - Gather the smaller missions from barrels and then do them at once. E.g. 2x Skellies on a small island. Some cannon balls later and you got up to 8 skulls. Or two maps with 2 X's each, also 4 chests (not saying they're good necessarily). That even makes the smaller amounts or even riddles worthwile from time to time. - Start with a cargo run. If it's on the outpost, good. If not, try again on the next outpost when delivering stuff. Bonus: Lone Cove has a good "sails up anchoring" place to deliver the cloths on dry feet. - Sails half up help to counter Galleons when you just want to escape. Also outsmarting them around island with a double clubhauling might do the trick if they arent prepared to enter you - Instead of stopping (anchor or sails up) for a delivery, do a drive by when you only got one valuable item (also helpful for galleons when you got only 3-4 items). Especially when being followed. Or even, fake this and run for next outpost (a solo sloop escaped a 4 man galleon once with that, nice played) - Learn to utilize the "Thieves Haven and Marauders Arch Drive-Thru". Sunk a Galleon with that (tbh, they weren't good, sunk them before already in 1 vs 4 battle) - Skellies are your friends. Somehow. Try to use their cannons and now also their ships.

Really appreciate this video man thanks!

thanks for the tips mate! excellent quality video

This helped a lot and I like your voice. Subscribed.

Honestly the “emergency brake” is my most used tool

For the stash tip, a tip for a tip. You can just leave the chests half buried and noone other than your crew can dig them up, but you will always be able to find them again 👌

Some really nice tips, didn't really think about stashing my loot most of the time. Another thing I learned a while ago is to be somewhat aggressive to other players, even when soloing. Let's be honest, unless you encounter completely clueless players you are at a disadvantage in battles and some people will always try to sink your ship if they see you on the horizon, but if you're somewhat competent at the cannon and able to keep your vessel afloat giving other sloops the impression that you are willing to fight rather than run may have them reconsider if they want to mess with you. At least I found that I'm usually having fewer people mess with me if I engage into a short shoot-out with them instead of running away. Also it really helps to go online at hours with fewer players.

Good tips, one tip for the sail and not using the anchor is start lifting the sails once the name of the island pops up on your screen. It's a good indication that it's about at this time where you should start slowing down.

Just found your videos. Subscribed from this video alone. Your pretty entertaining.

That Anchor joke was good to earn an instant sub button click. Well played, sir!

just got an eargasm with the outro song, Neverending story is a great movie and has a great soundtrack too!

Subbed because of the NES music, also great tips thank you!

This was very helpful, thank you! 🙂

Biggest tip: always have at least one rowboat to act as an escape pod to put your loot in when you’re being attacked

Saw the intro and liked right away

Anchoring next to an island in the Devils Roar sometimes is helpful with those earthquakes. Have had to swim out to my ship a couple times it’s rocked away from the island.

Ahh, the perks of being basically nocturnal when your favorite KZfaqr is 6-8 hours ahead of you. I love getting new videos right before bed at 7AM.

New to the game SoT and definitely subbed! Thank you!

Very Nice Video, Your diong a EXELLENT job at this 👍🏻

Another Great vid man!

Really good video. Keep up the good work

When I first played with my friend, We always went around looking for reaper chests and doing the sunken ships looking for loot. We rarely did any missions.

Thanks for the tips bro!

This is super helpful good sir 🤘🏻

Also another tip I saw, put your loot on your anchor, it stops them from being able to anchor you (unsure if this is one of your tips) but they may get away with one item of treasure, but you’ll still have the majority of your loot. Rather than being anchored, boarded and sunk.

I solo play more than not and like to use the brig. I've gotten pretty good at time management. I'll only use one sail when near my target island and two on open seas. It also lets me outrun both sloops and galleons. The brig is definitely my favorite.

Kudos to you good sir and fellow Pirate.

Another tip, if a ship is chasing u turn ur wheel full right/left and drop anchor, think it's called a club hull

Great beginner tips, I just learned some new things

Pick up a merchant mission in which you have to retrieve snakes. Grab the baskets and cancel the mission. Place the snakes in your hold as bodyguards to your loot. Just remember to play music when you go below decks.

This is the only solo pirate tip video that i found useful, thank you

this is perfect. it will be helpful to many newcomers.

sea of thieves is a lot of fun, and i agree with all of these. thanks for the video.

I've mastered the sloop, seen as I play on my own alot, I'd just completed a skull fort and a galleon decided to chase me down, and no way was I losing all the loot, but I outmanoeuvred them to the point they actually crashed into a rock trying to get me, so then I just turned the side of my sloop towards them and just lay into them with cursed cannon balls and regular cannon balls and sunk them. Sucks to suck.

Thank you so much i needed help😀

Nice video and should be helpful for new players! A note about item #2 - anyone with any knowledge of the game looks for sails or outline of a ship, not the lights. :)

Christmas newbies are going to exquisitely spice things up while I monster hunt. And I have plenty of curses just itching to fly.

I LOVE YOUR VIDS!

With the stashing tip, I was able to get away with hiding an Ashen chest inside of a bush at Sanctuary Outpost long enough to find a key! Too bad that I was only able to play for as long as F2P weekend was active on Xbox... I miss my hull cosmetics!!! ;-;

Ever since emissaries came out, the thing with leaving treasure on islands in a stash is a lot less profitable. Since your emissary becomes more valuable when you put loot on your ship, you shouldn’t stash the loot. Usually when I get attacked and I flee, the ship behind me usually checks for bonus loot on the island.

Awesome explosion scene!

Game keeps you on edge every second.

I started and my first quest I found a skull worth 3x's what the quest I was going after was. Also was chased by the meg on my way into the outpost for a good 3 minutes.

Fastest up wind?!?! No shit? Ive been doing it wrong! Ive just been using the wind to bring me to islands i can turn around rapidly, and they can't follow. I haven't been caught yet, but now I'm gonna be even harder to catch! Ty!

Skull bounties with just one captain could be a villainous skull. Skull bounties with four captains could literally be four foul skulls. So you’d spend way more time doing a lot more work for less profit. Gold hoarders you’re right but the only reason to do gold hoarders is because it feels so piratey. And the riddles are my favourite. But there’s not enough money in GH voyages. OoS are the best voyages balancing profitability and fun. MA voyages are the most profitable but the stress of carrying plants, not getting cloth wet, not cracking rum bottles etc. I think the extra stress makes it not worth the extra cash.

This great early on but since I’ve grinded day o pirate legend, what’s the best way to do those long voyages?

Best new player tip. 100% the maiden voyage. It'll give you tons of gold and dabloons to start off with. There are loads of tutorial videos for it.

Hi so I don’t know how recent the update was but masts, anchor wheels, and the steering wheel ( I don’t know official terms ) can all be damaged/destroyed,, which mean if a gunpowder barrel explodes in the crows nest it can/will destroy the mast causing me to not be able to move till raised and repaired, so should I still put them in the crows nest

Thanks for a great video.

You forgot falcore: there are commendations for actually completing X voyages in a company, with 100 being the Grade V max limit. These commendations will actually give extra reputation with the company, and are worth pursuing at earlier stages where you can get boosts towards higher levels at a faster rate, where you're less likely to see things like castaway chests and foul skulls. If it's a short mission, go for it.

Glad you put the original logo back :) I fell off of sea of thieves after RDR 2 came out. I missed a lot..

Thanks for the merchant tips cause I am trying to get to pirate legend

This was very helpful

The thing about the anchor, the ship can indeed sail away--at least pretty far out--during an earthquake/eruption in the Devil's Roar...should have mentioned it.

Nice video cap

1:45 when you sail directly into the wind, is it better to have your sails flat against the wind as shown in this video? Or to angle it all the way over to the left or right?

Love this video

Captain Falcore, are you going to try out Atlas which is coming out next week?

Hey Falcore! Where do i bring these crates on shore you mentioned that i can sell for extra penny’s? Gold hoarder or merchant alliance? Is there a money difference if i turn them in to other npcs who buy them?

I don't know why I watched this whole video. I've been PL for months now. I agree with most of them, though I don't know how effective the merchant trick is now that they've added cargo into the mix. If you're unlucky you only get cargo quests from them. Also a tip for the comment section: If sailing a brig or galleon, coordinate your AFK times so only one person is AFK at any given moment. Last time I was on a brig two people went AFK and we both came back to our last guy stuck in one of the Kraken's tentacles and our ship sunk below the waves. Happy Sailing!

Great vid

2 Things, 1) I only started recently but playing solo is my preferred play type until some mares get the game but I have only ever seen 1 other players ship in solo, is it that everyone is out in the wilds? Or the second and shorter point 2) Are UK servers dead or is it the same everywhere

Favorite part about this game is fighting off creatures, and skeleton ships. It's also a good time searching for treasure

Helped me very Much indeed thank you matey! Aaa@ye!

Great video! Will you make a follow-up to this one?

love all the never ending story references

Captain we still cant name ships or pickup a fishing pole and feesh in the beautiful sea of thieves....I have to go into the future of 1899 using your ship's warp drive in order to go fishing as a cowboy instead, it'll be fine ill leave a note.

This is stupid helpful. Also, is that Never Ending Story music I’m hearing??

Ahhh yes I too remember when started sailing like a pirate for the first time

I started this game recently and confused where to start and where to go....after a while I figured out that I need to keep wandering around the Sea. I can see the fun with all the other team players but playing alone felt boring for me. So I gave up on this.

So there is truth to the 'default sail' strategy after all? I've used it multiple times to what seemed like no avail. Or is Sloop specific?

5:30 The ship can drift away from the shore, though, if it stays near one of the volcanic islands and an earthquake occurs...

How do you get the sloop in the beginning, is it a skin or npc ship?

Hey falcore Can you make a video to search the fog I can’t find in day or night only when you are doing quests you can find is ether that or I’m a drunk pirate in the sea when looking

Noice! Thanks mate!

Heres a stressful story on one of me adventures! so there me and me crew were, taking a skull fortress clinking and clanking away. Then ATLAST her the key dropped and we got loot! Great right. Well, for now. At least. And so we boarded the plunder, and in less than the blink of an eye! The ship and our glorious plunder. gone. We believe to this day it was our stronghold and regular gunpowder barrels. The be our lesson to not let the powder lay on her decks, but sleep the weapon energy on the birds eye view of the ship.
