Replying to this because clearly it's a hot topic: While tdm is something that a lot of people do, it didn't feel like enough people do it for it to be worthy of its own stage. I know plenty of 100+ day players who much prefer naval and never tdm. (And it definitely wouldn't be final stage if it was its own stage.) I'm definitely gonna make a bonus stages video because there's a lot of good ones here that don't neccesarily fit in the overall hierarchy well, but are worth a mention.
You missed a Stage just before and just after Pirate Legend. Before hitting PL they may do an Ashen Winds and sell a Tome only to realise it has cosmetics behind it, they equip whatever ashen cosmetic they got and immediately fall in love. This then directs them to go on that Tome grind to get as many different Ashen cosmetics as possible, for their ship, their clothes, their equipment, everything. Similarly to the Kraken/Crab/Parrot they are mostly found on Brigantines sporting the Ashen Hull (a great indicator you're about to have an easy fight). Directly after PL they start doing PL Voyages as well as Fort of the Damned with their new found insane ego from hitting PL thinking they are completely untouchable. This gets them slowly levelling Athenas Fortune to discover the Ghost Boots, Trousers and Gloves on the earlier levels. They fall in love and start to wear every single bit of Ghost they get, and their only directive for the next month or two is to acquire as much ghost cosmetics as humanly possible until they complete it. There's also a little bonus stage after this. Now that they have started to earn quite a few 'flex' cosmetics that show their accomplishments, they start to blend it all together. ''Why wear the full ghost outfit if the ghost Hat already shows I'm Athena 10? I can also wear Ashen Stuff and some PL Vanity items to show off all of my accomplishments at once''. This creates the most disgustingly glorious abomination of a cosmetic set you've ever seen. With mismatching colours and designs, It looks like the most hideous thing you've ever seen, and they know it; but at least it shows just how much they've completed in the game. After this they start to just wear what they like and maybe incorporate some flex things to satisfy the urge while also looking nice.
I'm missing one: Fort man. It starts with convincing your friends to farm forts, and then you become a fort deviant who learns to farm it solo. These people usually have a persecution mania and look every minute to see if anyone is approaching them, especially after opening the vault
My pride is being at lvl 50 Hunters call when ive never turned in more then 10 fish i caught on my own. 😂 . The ppl i was regulatly playing with love to fish while traveling and we give a lot of gems to hunters
I’m definitely somewhere in one of the last stages. I spend a lot of time sailing around looking for wholesome experiences. Helping new players and having fun sinking experienced players with other experienced players! You never know what’s gonna happen that’s why I still play this game!
i love how a lot of players respect fisherman , like i was fishing on seapost (im new) and some guy just came gave me his storage crate with megalodon meat and left
You didn't mention the tuck stage but tucking is a whole other realm. If im playing solo, i cruise around in a row boat full of boom kegs looking for those wholesome opportunities.
The other day me and my boys was fishing and a guild emissary came over sunk us told us they didn’t sell the fish and we met them at an outpost just for them to say they sold it all
Wow, you described becoming a reaper really accurately. At least that's how it was for me, lol. Now i'm at the stage where i've really gotten into the lore of my faction and i'm able to win a fair share of battles that i was previously afraid to start.
At every stage I was like "meh not really" , exept stage 12, that one fits so perfectly for me and my mate. When you literally don't care about anything anymore and just sail around looking for a fun time with other players or helping newbies, as long as they don't dare to attack you, that'd be the last mistake they'd make on that server😂
Somewhere between stage 11 and 12, except i didnt realize the PvP curses exist so whenever im feeling frisky ill hop into hourglass to get some rep and then log off, I havent stacked loot since true reaper stage tho
The whole premise of this video being an updated version of that older video is really interesting to me. As a day one player, I found my journey is better reflected in the original video. I’ve played a bit of pvp, but never felt the need to grind it or anything. There’s entire aspects to this video, I’ve basically skipped because the mechanics weren’t around when I was coming up. That being said, for newer players, I can totally see how this newer video is completely accurate. Again, this video is really interesting. It’s interesting to see how the progression of the game has changed so drastically
About running reapers, a few days ago as reaper 5 I finished fof and sold so we decide to hunt this reaper 4 doing skull fort. They start to run and refuse to fight. They keg us while running 3 times and still run away until we pick up a gally ally and both chase them, wind makes them faster. They sail south and eventually after 45 minutes sail straight into the Red Sea we follow enough until we realise they’re gone for good. They were willing to run for 45 minutes to save their skeleton Fort Worth of loot instead of fight just to Red Sea themselves anyways. On the bright side us a the gally had a huge party to celebrate the death of the running reapers
I be fishin, stoned as all fuck, gobbling down nootropics like flintstones gummies for extra enlightenment, signing down the mic like i don’t give a fuck because i don’t
I'm at Stage 12. I have over 30,000,000 gold, every cosmetic I ever wanted, max level in every faction, and I no longer care about trying to get every single commendation. I want to sail around with my friends (usually with a Reaper emissary up) and cause as much craziness as possible. We help brand new players and attack everyone else. We get into tuck shenanigans, keg plays, epic naval battles, role playing, everything you can think of, and we always manage to have a great time. (The exception is hourglass. I found the wait times boring, so we don't really do that anymore.)
You nailed these phases to a T. I’m at that phase where I’ve actually stopped getting salty, after grinding PvP and just getting better. What a precise way to put it. It’s just happened within the last week or so… I suddenly noticed that I’d stopped getting salty, as this gradual transition to apathetic assessment had swept in. That’s lit pham.
I think I'm the non-toxic, non-reaper version of a player somewhere between stages 6 and 7. I suck at the game. I know I suck at the game. So I just started gearing up to hit that Hour Glass hard to git gud sooner rather than later. What's funny is that I've felt the urge to be toxic many times to unleash my frustration at being crapped on by others, but I've found that being wholesome--especially to new players--is so much more rewarding than being a butt. Btw: I was one of those newbies who rocked the Kraken outfit. My theory on why those three outfits are popular for newbies: new players want to look a bit more seasoned then brand spankin' new ones and these outfits just look very unique and individual I guess.
Personally I’m none of these stages. PvP really stresses me out so I try to avoid it as much as I can, and go around vibing, voyaging or catching fish. I’ve learned to drop off my loot at various points so I don’t lose everything if someone decides to attack me. A lot of the time me and my partner play like this together. It’s nice :))
I swear I was the only noob at the 2nd level to NOT buy the Kraken/Crab/Parrot outifts and went for something else entirely, the midnight blades stuff. I played in 2018 when it released, came back around the 2020 - 2021 mark for the ashen dragon stuff got like 60% of it then stopped playing again and came back permanently in 2022 (was still a swabee noob) and got the midnight blades stuff with the gold curse
i believe the last few can apply at any point during a sot player's journey. especially enlightenment. sometimes you'll find the rare gold collector that understands the easy come easy go way sea of thieves was made to be.
I once met an enlightened chad 1 week into playing the game during open crew and told him how I had so much trouble learning how to pvp. He took me under his wing and we did some hour glass sessions. Watching him single handed sink the other sloop while I aimlessly repaired and bucketed was a sight to see.
These Stage 3 gold Hoarders are the most agressive type of players on the seas :D I love them... I am always like "I dont want to kill newby players" (under 50 hours) but when they attack first as always its so sweet snack :D
I just dont like pvping agaisnt unfair fights. I never pray upon smaller ships than my own and i will always do what i can to help others being attacked by instances. Sadly to say many of my games have been ruined by dumb try hard kids that are so arrogant about something thats supposed to just be fun. I guess ive been playing a class 3 because im stuck on making gold.
Keep it up man the video idea was good and the commentary was also good the only thing I feel that could have been worked on was the fluidity of the transitions, they felt choppy but other than that it was a great video keep up the grind!
Stage 12 sounds 100% like me and my dudes, stoned all day and sailing around aimlessly while completing some of our last comms and sinking everyone in our way. Nice video tho, i wouldve changed some of the stages like tall tales and fishing but thats just my personal opinion.
I'll love this game through and through, I am happy to not be so ticked at loosing to sweaty people. The shenanigans on the seas are always a hoot to experience! XD Shot at a brig the other evening, they weren't happy about it when I didnt say anything n sailed away after telling me they didnt have stuff. Got jumped by a skelly sloop and the brig CAME UP RIGHT AFTER. XD sunk my ship, I got the Reaper's Bounty i had and tried to row away from em. They got me in the end after like.... 30 minutes of spinning in circles XD I hope they had fun too.
It’s funny how the “noob” stereotype in terms of cosmetics fit. I remember upon completing my first successful loot haul I IMMEDIATELY gravitated toward the crab outfit because it had a load of detail and thus, in my mind, made me look a bit less nooby. Little did I know, it only made me look even more so….
I skipped some of those stages because the content wasn't there for those stages. The tall tale stage was intermixed with other stages for me. Back when I started you didn't have tall tale checkpoints so the Gold curse was a serious grind because you had to do all 9 tall tales a total of 45 times. I do TDMs occasionally but for me it's more about the interactions. It's always sad when you have people on the seas and their first and only choice is to attack and sink you. I'm in a state where I'm an educator. If I recognize a player is new on the seas I'll give them help understanding the game. I'm often looking to create alliances because it helps other players, especially the new player. I'm not sure that I actually fit your idea of player stages. On top of that, I've seen every pvp update and found everyone of them lacking in some way. Arena made people focus on PVP instead of fighting over the goal due to scoring design. Hourglass was tauted that it was in the regular seas but sucks because the battles aren't that big and basically forces you to drive in circles. FOF sucks because you could do this big fort but you might as well ignore it because you make more gold and rep other ways that are less likely to be contested. The new event voyage is going to suck for the same reason. Veils sucked when they were new because you had people who would attack you to take the loot and would ruin the tale part of the voyage. Rare just sucks when it comes to final implementation of pvp aspects when they try to force pvp. To be honest, arena could have been fixed by making the scoring purely on being able to hold the chest and turning it in. Arena was meant to be a single flag ctf mode but the scoring didn't match. Rare really needs to modify hourglass so that hourglass has its own dedicated servers allowing players to group up and have fleet battles. There are things that they could implement to keep crews fresh on the server and help crews find each other giving the battles the full run of the map instead of tiny fixed circles. I thought the whole point of having hourglass on the regular map was to allow crew more freedom of movement allowing much more strategy as well as interference from other ships. One of my favorite experiences is when I allianced with 2 other sloop crews to take down a brig and then we formed a war fleet with me coordinating as an admiral.
He forgot fishmen ascended where even tdm and hour glass gets boring. These guys just fish and will happily shit on anyone who fucks with there fishing
I feel like I'm in several stages. I'm a gold curse grinder right now. I've made so much gold I'm in grinding events for experience / stacking and I can sink almost anybody. My favorite time was solo sinking a galleon and sloop alliance while aboard their ship, I crashed then both into a rock and they sunk
Ahh, I got to pirate legend, started watching Hitbotc, and now I'm just a heist player. Always going for either a Con, stealth steal, or just pirates of the caribbean levels of manipulating other crews
I started 3 and 1/2 years ago so it was much different. It was mostly new pirate, admiral kraken parrot or crab set, tall taler, trying to get PL, Pirate Legend, and Athena grinders. Pirate legend actually meant something lol
I'd say, I'm a weird mishmash of some of these stages. Rookie Captain - sure been there, Crab 'n stuff - skipped those outfits completely because bleh (proud sea hobo), Emissary - definetely OOS ghost fleet enjoyer here, Pirate legend - reached that yeah, but don't care for it (except the cool hideout), Reaper - not my jam, I've literally only touched Reapers when sailing with other people who like Reapers (have sailed a lot for them through that though, cause a buddy of mine loves em 😆), Hourglass - total of 2 matches baby (I don't care for that stuff), True Athena - somewhat, I just like lore stuff and am in game not a fan of flameheart (I like to transfer my mindset into the game I'm playing and as a pirate on those seas Lamefart's terms and tone sound not so appealing to me), Tall Tales - directly after "non Crab" and still sometimes, Sweaty stacker - nope I reach Emissary 5 - I'm happy and selling, Commendations - started same time as Tall Tale stage and still going, Enlightened Chad - I'd say the lite version, as I skipped a few steps, but still the mindset, Fisherman - from day one occasionally and still going. TLDR: I've been playing enough to know what I'm doing (since jan. 2021), no real interest in PVP and generally chill but will fight if you start, don't really care about loot (unless I have some rare fish or barnacle chests aboard - I'll fight tooth and nail for them), like to help out noobs and dunk on Lamefart.
Im at the end "toxic" reaper stage, I would have put me higher since im the oppisite from toxic, but when i think about what my crewmates are yelling in voice chat i remember that i havent left the toxic reaper face.
I'm at that stage were I'm grinding commendations but raise reaper to attract sweaty players to sink. I so the same while fishing as it's a nice break between the grind.
This is the order I went in personally: 1, 2, 3, 8, 4, back to 8, and finally a combination of 8 and 12 As soon as I discovered Reapers my friends and I got into every fight we could find. We died a lot. We kept doing it because we still found losing fun. Now we rarely lose. I didn't get pirate legend for a long time because I stopped grinding the emissaries and went to reapers.
I'm in the fishing stage right now and it's horrendous I hate the players on this game so much I keep getting sunk by random people while me literally shouting out that i'm fishing and have no loot, but these idiots insist on wasting their time and sinking me all for me having to drive back to my location and carry on fishing.
My progression was totally different. 1. I got introdused into the game played with an open crew and did a fotd 2 became a crab lord 3 became a running reapers 4 became pirate legend 5 sweaty stacker and now Im currently on HG grind
Forgot the seadog outfit stage mainly the hat and coat only with the rest being the sailer outfit. I've seen so many new players gravitate towards that more than the kraken or ocean crawlers
Just started playing about a month ago and love the game, I’ve already sailed as a reaper and gold hoarder and I have completed almost all the World events. I’m also really getting into the lore, tall tales and commendations, it’s my favourite part of the game. I don’t think o fit these stages lol
I'm at the fisherman stage but also collecting commendations for Hunter Call. Just fishing at outpost listening to podcast. Most pirates I came across been the kindest. Sometimes they give me baits and fishes. Once, even god kidnapped cz they wanna bring me along to FOTD so I can fish battle gill. Cool people XD
I never hit the Kraken stage, at least not the dress as kraken stage, but I’m definitely in the later part of that stage. The kraken stuff looks ugly and my pirate would never be caught dead in it.
I guess the closest I fit in the "ENlightened CHad" and the Tall Tale ENthusiast. I'm not super skilled at the game nor have I yet even started the Tall Tales, but I love the lore and just play pretty casually, I got cosmetics I'm satisfied with so gold isn't a big deal, and when I do get on it's just for the casual fun.
I’m at the very very end of the hourglass grind, level 98 now and am going for the skelly curse, then I’m going for level 200 but after that I’ll get the ghost curse
"While stoned for some reason" I died laughing at this point. Definitely did a lot of these in reverse. I feel like it's based on my mood. I equally share Fisherman, Commendation Collector, True Athena/Hourglass Grinder, and Tall Tale Enthusiast. I seemingly did all the side stuff first and came back to knock out Hourglass and Commendations. This was a great watch!
I see myself on the hourglass grinder (even though I'm over lvl 300) with a bit of the stage 12 atitude. I'm here's to have cool pirate combat, no drama. is all GGs at the end. Side note: I would put the tall tale guy some where at the beginning near the emissray dude XD
Replying to this because clearly it's a hot topic: While tdm is something that a lot of people do, it didn't feel like enough people do it for it to be worthy of its own stage. I know plenty of 100+ day players who much prefer naval and never tdm. (And it definitely wouldn't be final stage if it was its own stage.) I'm definitely gonna make a bonus stages video because there's a lot of good ones here that don't neccesarily fit in the overall hierarchy well, but are worth a mention.
You missed a Stage just before and just after Pirate Legend.
Before hitting PL they may do an Ashen Winds and sell a Tome only to realise it has cosmetics behind it, they equip whatever ashen cosmetic they got and immediately fall in love.

facts
the notorious Trashen Dragon crews
always a source of free loot... if you find them in devil's roar
Bruh i don't know why, but its so true about 'ashen guys', they always so easy (and salty at the same time)
I usually pretend that it was worth it to grind that out -v-"
Yup that’s me, except that I don’t want all the ghost stuff, I want the dark adventurer stuff.
the stoned duo sloop gods are so accurate lmfao
I'm missing one:
Fort man. It starts with convincing your friends to farm forts, and then you become a fort deviant who learns to farm it solo. These people usually have a persecution mania and look every minute to see if anyone is approaching them, especially after opening the vault
Taking that one
I was for man I’m all done I think now might start doing tier 5 voyages for fun or Athena grinding cause I haven’t done Athena stuff
I was waiting for that, that's my stage for sure
That's me and now I'm a bit scared
I'm the Fisherman stage and no ashamed to say it. Level 50 in Hunters Call, working my way through the Commendations. It's just nice and chill.
W
Its the Goat stage nothing better than fishing with the bois
My pride is being at lvl 50 Hunters call when ive never turned in more then 10 fish i caught on my own. 😂 . The ppl i was regulatly playing with love to fish while traveling and we give a lot of gems to hunters
W
As a stage 11 player, I approve this video. Very accurate list
lets go we got that stamp of approval
I’m definitely somewhere in one of the last stages. I spend a lot of time sailing around looking for wholesome experiences. Helping new players and having fun sinking experienced players with other experienced players! You never know what’s gonna happen that’s why I still play this game!
Best way to play
I never got the new player addiction to crab, kraken or parrot, I always thought they looked terrible
Based
i love how a lot of players respect fisherman , like i was fishing on seapost (im new) and some guy just came gave me his storage crate with megalodon meat and left
Yeah, generally being a fisherman gives you a pass from sinking
Very high quality, keep up the good work
thank you so much
You didn't mention the tuck stage but tucking is a whole other realm. If im playing solo, i cruise around in a row boat full of boom kegs looking for those wholesome opportunities.
im in fish/hour glass i feel like for sure also W vid man keep up the great work
he been here from the start, now he impossible to find in the comments
😭😭😭😭😭😭@@Prokat_
The other day me and my boys was fishing and a guild emissary came over sunk us told us they didn’t sell the fish and we met them at an outpost just for them to say they sold it all
Certified doxxworthy moment😡😡😡
Wow, you described becoming a reaper really accurately. At least that's how it was for me, lol. Now i'm at the stage where i've really gotten into the lore of my faction and i'm able to win a fair share of battles that i was previously afraid to start.

One of the first people who vid didnt hit for😭
Somewhere between stage 11 and 12, except i didnt realize the PvP curses exist so whenever im feeling frisky ill hop into hourglass to get some rep and then log off, I havent stacked loot since true reaper stage tho

Subscribe so this man can get a better mic
Yessir
The tall tale phase came early for me, around stage 5-6, now I'm around stage 11 with the whole hunters call bull creeping up on me
I be fishin, stoned as all fuck, gobbling down nootropics like flintstones gummies for extra enlightenment, signing down the mic like i don’t give a fuck because i don’t
LOL
I'm at Stage 12. I have over 30,000,000 gold, every cosmetic I ever wanted, max level in every faction, and I no longer care about trying to get every single commendation. I want to sail around with my friends (usually with a Reaper emissary up) and cause as much craziness as possible. We help brand new players and attack everyone else. We get into tuck shenanigans, keg plays, epic naval battles, role playing, everything you can think of, and we always manage to have a great time. (The exception is hourglass. I found the wait times boring, so we don't really do that anymore.)

looool I only have 10 mill
Ur broke as hell mate
You nailed these phases to a T. I’m at that phase where I’ve actually stopped getting salty, after grinding PvP and just getting better. What a precise way to put it.

The video is super accurate otherwise but it's missing the final step, becoming a tdmer💀When hg pvp just isn't enough
I swear I was the only noob at the 2nd level to NOT buy the Kraken/Crab/Parrot outifts and went for something else entirely, the midnight blades stuff. I played in 2018 when it released, came back around the 2020 - 2021 mark for the ashen dragon stuff got like 60% of it then stopped playing again and came back permanently in 2022 (was still a swabee noob) and got the midnight blades stuff with the gold curse
Stage 11, fishing because I have nothing else to do until season 10
FACTS
Very good video, but you should mention the Hourglass Gold Curse Grinder :)
true, but not everybody neccesarily goes through it
i believe the last few can apply at any point during a sot player's journey. especially enlightenment. sometimes you'll find the rare gold collector that understands the easy come easy go way sea of thieves was made to be.
Fishing stage here ! And to avoid being sunk I usually isolate myself on an seapost and sink my own ship 😂
I'm a mix of stage 13 but stage 13 being only the "don't care about gold". I am NOT good at the game lmao
I went from stage 2 to Fisherman. x) I'm 300 hours in.
I once met an enlightened chad 1 week into playing the game during open crew and told him how I had so much trouble learning how to pvp. He took me under his wing and we did some hour glass sessions. Watching him single handed sink the other sloop while I aimlessly repaired and bucketed was a sight to see.
These Stage 3 gold Hoarders are the most agressive type of players on the seas :D I love them... I am always like "I dont want to kill newby players" (under 50 hours) but when they attack first as always its so sweet snack :D
Stage 13: Combat Fishing
Explain Explain Explain please
I just dont like pvping agaisnt unfair fights. I never pray upon smaller ships than my own and i will always do what i can to help others being attacked by instances. Sadly to say many of my games have been ruined by dumb try hard kids that are so arrogant about something thats supposed to just be fun. I guess ive been playing a class 3 because im stuck on making gold.
I went, gold grind, xp grind, pirate legend, now im grinding hourglass
“Everyone went through this stage”
Me (and others) who played before emissaries: 👁️👄👁️
(Great video though)
LOL
Keep it up man the video idea was good and the commentary was also good the only thing I feel that could have been worked on was the fluidity of the transitions, they felt choppy but other than that it was a great video keep up the grind!
Yeah.... i need work on my transitions🤣
that fat guy with ghost curse is very handsome
who could it be
Stage 12 sounds 100% like me and my dudes, stoned all day and sailing around aimlessly while completing some of our last comms and sinking everyone in our way. Nice video tho, i wouldve changed some of the stages like tall tales and fishing but thats just my personal opinion.
honestly done the running once, was board so was practising my boarding, was able to get a mate on and we did turn the tides and got there loot
most of reaper players i meet are from stage 6 sadly
Me: Rookie captain - merchant & reaper representatives - loot stacker - hourglass level1000 - tall tale - TDM - hourglass2000 - commendation collector(fishing at the same time)
I'll love this game through and through, I am happy to not be so ticked at loosing to sweaty people. The shenanigans on the seas are always a hoot to experience! XD
Shot at a brig the other evening, they weren't happy about it when I didnt say anything n sailed away after telling me they didnt have stuff. Got jumped by a skelly sloop and the brig CAME UP RIGHT AFTER. XD sunk my ship, I got the Reaper's Bounty i had and tried to row away from em. They got me in the end after like.... 30 minutes of spinning in circles XD I hope they had fun too.
me and my friend had the kraken fit cause we decided we were gonna be "kraken hunters"
I’m in stage 13, just helping people get their PvP curses, getting PL, and just having fun because of done everything
It’s funny how the “noob” stereotype in terms of cosmetics fit. I remember upon completing my first successful loot haul I IMMEDIATELY gravitated toward the crab outfit because it had a load of detail and thus, in my mind, made me look a bit less nooby.
Little did I know, it only made me look even more so….

I'm in a state where I'm an educator. If I recognize a player is new on the seas I'll give them help understanding the game. I'm often looking to create alliances because it helps other players, especially the new player. I'm not sure that I actually fit your idea of player stages. On top of that, I've seen every pvp update and found everyone of them lacking in some way. Arena made people focus on PVP instead of fighting over the goal due to scoring design. Hourglass was tauted that it was in the regular seas but sucks because the battles aren't that big and basically forces you to drive in circles. FOF sucks because you could do this big fort but you might as well ignore it because you make more gold and rep other ways that are less likely to be contested. The new event voyage is going to suck for the same reason. Veils sucked when they were new because you had people who would attack you to take the loot and would ruin the tale part of the voyage. Rare just sucks when it comes to final implementation of pvp aspects when they try to force pvp. To be honest, arena could have been fixed by making the scoring purely on being able to hold the chest and turning it in. Arena was meant to be a single flag ctf mode but the scoring didn't match. Rare really needs to modify hourglass so that hourglass has its own dedicated servers allowing players to group up and have fleet battles. There are things that they could implement to keep crews fresh on the server and help crews find each other giving the battles the full run of the map instead of tiny fixed circles. I thought the whole point of having hourglass on the regular map was to allow crew more freedom of movement allowing much more strategy as well as interference from other ships. One of my favorite experiences is when I allianced with 2 other sloop crews to take down a brig and then we formed a war fleet with me coordinating as an admiral.
He forgot fishmen ascended where even tdm and hour glass gets boring. These guys just fish and will happily shit on anyone who fucks with there fishing
It's funny how the toxic reapers like always sound 15-17 years old.
Id say I’m stage 2 or three
Stage 12 is so accurate that i even rock the same outfit! :'D Banana hat? Drippin.
shoutout to a member of the server for that advice lol
I feel like I'm in several stages. I'm a gold curse grinder right now. I've made so much gold I'm in grinding events for experience / stacking and I can sink almost anybody. My favorite time was solo sinking a galleon and sloop alliance while aboard their ship, I crashed then both into a rock and they sunk
I feel called out as I am the fish man.
I jumped from Pirate Legend, to tall tale .. and now i'm just fisherman.. like I love lore don't get me wrong, but right now I just wanna fish man.
Good video.
Only suggestion is just adding chapters for all stages in the video description
i got u fam
thanks!@@Prokat_
Ahh, I got to pirate legend, started watching Hitbotc, and now I'm just a heist player. Always going for either a Con, stealth steal, or just pirates of the caribbean levels of manipulating other crews
LOL
HAHA I HAD THE OCEAN CRAWLER STUFF FOR A YEAR LMAO
crab people😓🥶
You forgot the person that stays on an island like castaway and tries to wait for another ship because hes friends are doing something stupid
You forgot Tucker))
I started 3 and 1/2 years ago so it was much different. It was mostly new pirate, admiral kraken parrot or crab set, tall taler, trying to get PL, Pirate Legend, and Athena grinders. Pirate legend actually meant something lol
The old days
@@Prokat_ yeah😔 back when most sweats were at least nice to new players. And somehow hitreg was better
I almost instantly went to the hourglass grinder after being a tall tale guy and getting both the sunken curse and ashen curse
Hahahahahah its soo true, especially that last extra stage
I'd say, I'm a weird mishmash of some of these stages.
Rookie Captain - sure been there,
Crab 'n stuff - skipped those outfits completely because bleh (proud sea hobo),
Emissary - definetely OOS ghost fleet enjoyer here,
Pirate legend - reached that yeah, but don't care for it (except the cool hideout),
Reaper - not my jam, I've literally only touched Reapers when sailing with other people who like Reapers (have sailed a lot for them through that though, cause a buddy of mine loves em 😆),
Hourglass - total of 2 matches baby (I don't care for that stuff),
True Athena - somewhat, I just like lore stuff and am in game not a fan of flameheart (I like to transfer my mindset into the game I'm playing and as a pirate on those seas Lamefart's terms and tone sound not so appealing to me),
Tall Tales - directly after "non Crab" and still sometimes,
Sweaty stacker - nope I reach Emissary 5 - I'm happy and selling,
Commendations - started same time as Tall Tale stage and still going,
Enlightened Chad - I'd say the lite version, as I skipped a few steps, but still the mindset,
Fisherman - from day one occasionally and still going.
TLDR: I've been playing enough to know what I'm doing (since jan. 2021), no real interest in PVP and generally chill but will fight if you start, don't really care about loot (unless I have some rare fish or barnacle chests aboard - I'll fight tooth and nail for them), like to help out noobs and dunk on Lamefart.
Im at the end "toxic" reaper stage, I would have put me higher since im the oppisite from toxic, but when i think about what my crewmates are yelling in voice chat i remember that i havent left the toxic reaper face.
ayyy bro the krab fit is fire you sleeping on it
Never let bro cook lmao
so damn true about the stage 2 for some reason
I'm at that stage were I'm grinding commendations but raise reaper to attract sweaty players to sink. I so the same while fishing as it's a nice break between the grind.
This is the order I went in personally:
1, 2, 3, 8, 4, back to 8, and finally a combination of 8 and 12
As soon as I discovered Reapers my friends and I got into every fight we could find. We died a lot. We kept doing it because we still found losing fun. Now we rarely lose. I didn't get pirate legend for a long time because I stopped grinding the emissaries and went to reapers.
Never went through phase 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 🤣
Fr fr
Bro is the messiah
@@Prokat_ nah man 🤣
I'm a mix of 10 and 11, mainly 12 but I'm not really good at the game.
I've been at stage 10 Sweaty Stacker for a while now. The larger the hoard, the more powerful I feel. I'll never touch the tall tales, they bore me
I'm in the fishing stage right now and it's horrendous I hate the players on this game so much I keep getting sunk by random people while me literally shouting out that i'm fishing and have no loot, but these idiots insist on wasting their time and sinking me all for me having to drive back to my location and carry on fishing.
As a pvp fanatic i apologize on behalf of all the non asshole pvpers out there
Stage 12: Also known as the “fattest-ugliest-shirtless-pirate-you’ve-ever-seen” stage
LOL
My progression was totally different. 1. I got introdused into the game played with an open crew and did a fotd 2 became a crab lord 3 became a running reapers 4 became pirate legend 5 sweaty stacker and now Im currently on HG grind
I went from not knowing what a trident of dark tides is to doing world events to becoming a reaper to stacking FOTD and then just grinding in general
W W W
im in the curse grind and just wanting to relax
I am in stage 9 curently.
Man I love the Lore.
Nice video man. Keep it up! 🏴☠👍🏼
If im bored af ill just chill in the pirate legend hideout
Forgot the seadog outfit stage mainly the hat and coat only with the rest being the sailer outfit. I've seen so many new players gravitate towards that more than the kraken or ocean crawlers
The best stage, the only stage, the tdmer. #wehatenaval
NAVAL ON TOP
Stage 7 is me And stage 8 is me when I'm doing organic pvp REAPERS ON TOP RAHHHH
I thought I was at Stage 9 but then realized I'm at Stage 12 and some how got there while skipping many of the previous stages
I got pirate legends, started doing a little reaper then skipped right ahead to commendation collecting.
I think my journey is a bit scrambled, it went on as this, 1, 2 and 3 were at the same time, 9, 4 and now it's the fishing mixed in with events
im floating between true reaper and chad at my point rn
Stage 9, i loved Pirates of the caribbean tall Tales !
Just started playing about a month ago and love the game, I’ve already sailed as a reaper and gold hoarder and I have completed almost all the World events. I’m also really getting into the lore, tall tales and commendations, it’s my favourite part of the game.
I don’t think o fit these stages lol
I’m still grinding for skelly curse level 75 servants of the flame and level 58 reapers bones but I’m still not even pirate legend😅
I'm at the fisherman stage but also collecting commendations for Hunter Call. Just fishing at outpost listening to podcast. Most pirates I came across been the kindest. Sometimes they give me baits and fishes. Once, even god kidnapped cz they wanna bring me along to FOTD so I can fish battle gill. Cool people XD
I swear i met u before
@@Prokat_really?? Hahaha perhaps we'll meet again soon. I'll always be at outpost fishing 😂
@@naiibrhm3395 ima devour your entire bait crate try and stop me
I got every fishing commendation to max, but I am hard to sink, gotta protect them fish
*hits bong after sinking two sloops whilest i was just fishing* i feel attacked with that last stage
Bro got exposed
I never hit the Kraken stage, at least not the dress as kraken stage, but I’m definitely in the later part of that stage. The kraken stuff looks ugly and my pirate would never be caught dead in it.
I guess the closest I fit in the "ENlightened CHad" and the Tall Tale ENthusiast. I'm not super skilled at the game nor have I yet even started the Tall Tales, but I love the lore and just play pretty casually, I got cosmetics I'm satisfied with so gold isn't a big deal, and when I do get on it's just for the casual fun.
I’m at the very very end of the hourglass grind, level 98 now and am going for the skelly curse, then I’m going for level 200 but after that I’ll get the ghost curse
"While stoned for some reason" I died laughing at this point. Definitely did a lot of these in reverse. I feel like it's based on my mood. I equally share Fisherman, Commendation Collector, True Athena/Hourglass Grinder, and Tall Tale Enthusiast. I seemingly did all the side stuff first and came back to knock out Hourglass and Commendations. This was a great watch!
Thanks!
I see myself on the hourglass grinder (even though I'm over lvl 300) with a bit of the stage 12 atitude. I'm here's to have cool pirate combat, no drama. is all GGs at the end.
Side note: I would put the tall tale guy some where at the beginning near the emissray dude XD
