When I first saw how much the orbs sold for, I was like "omg this is such an easy way to grind money and rep", so I went to do it for athena's. except for some stupid reason the event that literally is done for athena's fortune can't be sold to them. I mean come on Rare! It literally plays we shall sail together whenever you capture an orb, why can't I sell these to them?
Literally happened to me too, I put up Athena did legend of the veil and then went to sell it at sovereign tent thinking I’d get boosted money from the Athena but nope.
been watchin you for a while now. and coming out of struggles, your twitch playlist helped my anxiety. i cant explain how much this game and you pulled me out of my struggles, gracias phuzzy and sot and myself
By far the most laid-back gold farming method I’ve done as a solo. Was able to cross over into my first 1 million gold. Never ran into other ships on any of the servers I had to dive to! Will definitely be using this for a while. The faction rep is also a nice bonus!
Gold Hoarder strat: You should go to paradise spring, reroll Captains vault there (80 to 90 percent chance that the first bottle is there) and then just dig it up one time, kill the 3 skelletons and take the small golden crates they drop to your ship. rinse and repeat. Emissary 5 in 5 to 10 min. its also near plunder
Don’t harpoon the manifest barrel and drop it before getting the document or you’ll lose it forever. I always dive in the water and get the manifest document that way to ensure that it isn’t lost. also be sure to dive under the water and see if the key might be in that first set of wreckage. About 50% of the time it is.
Also, if you dive to the lost shipment voyage, when you come out of the water you need to immediately raise your sails or you might sell past the wreckage. It’s usually right there or near by the time you raise your sails.
So used to the days of grinding ashen vaults and stacking. Haven't played since season 6 so jumping back in, seeing all the changes has been pleasing but also a learning curve to say the least. So much has been reworked and added. Seeing this was definitely needed as last nights vaults didn't feel like they used to!
26:50 a thing that i found out myself and I don't see anybody talk about is that if you have some patience and you wanna instantly dive to the skelly camp, you can dive to gold hoarder pirate's treasure map and theres a chance you dive to a skelly camp. Do this before setting sail so you dont instantly dive so you can keep on refreshing the quest until you get a skelly camp one
Phuzzy is under appreciated, he’s one of the 3 best pirates (SoT RUclipsrs) I’ve ever seen, don’t have a favorite because I go to them for different things
Since the latest hotfix, (3.1.0.1) no loot is spawning in the captains room (both ashen and normal) so you cant currently do phase 1 to lvl your merchant emissary.
During my initial merchant grind to reach pirate legend, I would grind lost shipments, but there were so many times I would get back to back bugged out voyages and it drove me insane. I wish they added skelly camps sooner cause those are great for grinding merchant since it’s quick and always gives you the pringles can and two other merchant items in the ancient chest that gets at least a level and a half each time.
There used to be 2 "Lost Shipment" inside of Devils, now there are only ones where you leave and I dont remember them saying they were taking routes out, but yeah.. they have
Sea forts get you to level 3 & 1/2 after competing and grabbing top room key. That is certainly faster than most of these methods and you get supplies.. also for Merchant - you can buy crates and that will get you over a level, so that lvl 4 after one sea fort
For OOS, the Treasury Raid is by far the fastest way to grade V. One OOS Treasury Raid will get you to grade IV, and this is 100% reliable. Then you simply sell, dive to ashen lord, or whatever you wish, and finish to grade V fast.
I do the ashen lost shipment but start at Ancient Spire using the Story Teller tall tale dive. Cancel Story Teller then select the ashen shipment until you get Plunder to Morrows. Sail to Crows Nest first. You will likely find the key here. If not there will be a clue and loot. Proceed to finish. There are only 5 locations for the wreck. This saves about 10 minutes per run.
The easiest and possibly fastest way that I found to get Merchant to Lvl 5 is doing the Marrow's Peak to Galleons Grave lost shipment voyage and visa versa. The first bird locations for both are always in the same spot. Then you cycle the voyage til the key spawns in the water and the ship will always be visible from the end location. It is really effective, and sometimes you can get lucky while cycling voyages and a ship with a manifest will spawn close by.
skeleton camps can appear on gold hoarder maps. you can keep putting down the shorter voyages to get small islands. and dive to a camp without loot in the camp changing.
so if you do orbs with gold hoarder is that faster than skull of siren song. For example if you are a new player and you want to get your captain ship sloop as soon as possible. Would it be better to do orbs since you are not encumbered with a slow ship like you do with the skull?
Personally love using the ashen skull to do oos single captains they tend to spawn on two little islands next to each other so you can grind them out fairly quick to get to grade 5 plus the random skellies ya find along the way. Then just grind out ashen skulls and orbs after grade 5.
Thanks Phuzzy. Just make sure you dont vote down another voyage when diving to Plunder OP. Skellies wouldnt spawn at the lookout point camp so the vault with the orb wouldnt open. Thinking it was a bug I sailed to the next camp pointlessly, just vote down the voyage instead
I usually just dive to like two or something sea forts as my faction of choice and then do the orb grind because those sea forts usually get me to grade five, if not then the orb will get me to grade five before I sell it
Do u have the burning blade ship while doing the recovery ritual? If you just loot them without having the world event ship in ur possession u won't progress
Requires doing it while being the crew pledged to the burning blade. You also have to sell it at reapers. If you've done all that it does mention it has to be "stolen" which either means the orbs themselves have been stolen like in a story sense, or perhaps it means you have to take them from other players, I'm not quite clear on the interpretation. If you've sold one as the crew of the burning blade, at reapers, then the commendation must require you to take an orb from someone else.
U can either get lucky by sinking someone with an orb or by convincing someone else on the server to get one for you (give them treasure or smthn). But you have to sell it to reapers while being part of the burning blade crew
I hope this gets pinned or something, but the Merchant Voyage version of the Skeleton Camps give you way more reputation than the orb, and are worth almost as much. If you want the orb commendation though, go for orb.
Did two of these runs today and both of them were bugged. The first was completely empty including the captain's quarters, while the second was just a floating book.
@@PhuzzyBond idk if it just didn’t bug out this time but I was not able to start the voyage cause I wasn’t level 20 merchant yet but my friend who is decided to open the door this time and all the stuff was there so that might be the fix but idk. Thank you for letting me know tho and since it’s started working I made around 700k and 16 levels last night
30:45 ive found out that if you draw in skeletons and then go up the stairs and stand next to the beacon, skeletons wont notice you and theyll just stand at the botom of the stairs waiting for u to shoot them lol. also applies to the lord skeleton
Okay but these Orbs are seriously lucrative. At Max Emisary, youre making about 60k+ PER, so if ylure doing well a d chaining camps aithout a threat kiing your streak, youre gking to be swimming in gold
I just blast Athena Missions and the other factions just seems to level up on their own. ONLY do Athena (Emissary) and you will hit 100 in the other factions long before you hit Athena 100.
The vault nerfs are ridiculous. I went from 300k an hr to 200k. I care less about the gold though, just trying to hit legend. Ill have it within the next day or so. Just need 30 more levels in merchant and 9 in gold.
lol @1:32 "so first if you raise the emissary flag, buy supplies, i accidentally bought supplies before raising the flag. be better than me buy sup then raise the flag" buy the supplies then raise the flag, don't be like me and buy the supplies before raising the flag... what? XD

Facts…
You also cant sell it to the hunters call which couldve helped grind hunters rep faster🥲
@@StinkiestPinkies
They're a faction that revolves around hunting and fishing. I can understand why they want nothing to do with an orb
been watchin you for a while now. and coming out of struggles, your twitch playlist helped my anxiety. i cant explain how much this game and you pulled me out of my struggles, gracias phuzzy and sot and myself
Struggle is just life telling us to level up, so we can unlock more possibilities and opportunities.

its also near plunder
bless you dude, this is a godsend
does this still work?
@@S1tbackdownyup should work
when you say reroll does that just mean leave the island until you can't see it and come back??
@@jackb2503I think he means to just cancel the voyage and place a new one down until you get the right one

I've seen seen a key in an ashen lost shipment on the first wreckage. And I've done it A LOT
Or just dont drop the barrel off the harpoon
@@tucsonolson9951 agreed but often people drop before they realize they’d grabbed it
yeah I literally just did that, found out the hard way lol
Also, if you dive to the lost shipment voyage, when you come out of the water you need to immediately raise your sails or you might sell past the wreckage. It’s usually right there or near by the time you raise your sails.

Sea forts get you to level 3 & 1/2 after competing and grabbing top room key. That is certainly faster than most of these methods and you get supplies.. also for Merchant - you can buy crates and that will get you over a level, so that lvl 4 after one sea fort
9:24 "Blagodaru" (Благодарю) is a very polite and quite rare way to thank someone in Russian. There is a more popular and common option "Spasibo".

3 sea forts is a guaranteed grade 5 for Reapers. It's also a good way to stock up on supplies for any fights you may find yourself in.
love your content phuzzy
For opening the ancient vaults, I always look for 1 medal, cause if you know one of the symbols it narrows down what the combo is.
Ships that come up with just a manifest are not bugged, they occur when the hints tell you that they were in a maelstrom
DISCLAIMER: Martha gets really lonely so pls dont skip her :(
definitely gonna try this with my friend
whats the name of your hull, its really good and i wanna get it but i dont know from where
I usually just dive to like two or something sea forts as my faction of choice and then do the orb grind because those sea forts usually get me to grade five, if not then the orb will get me to grade five before I sell it
Gold Hoarder emissary 5 : Do the 2 ghost fortress at North East on map, 15-20 minutes in total if u're fast, easy
How fast do you think it would take to get pirate legend doing this strategy
Is this good for rep as well?
Lost Shipment now requires level 15, it got reduced when they added the quest table
That's good to know ! Thank you
9:26 it means "thanks" 😂
Great vid tho
did they change drops for ashen lords? no rage chest anymore?
What is the best way to complete the ritual recovery commendation? I can’t get it and I want the half reaper mask
more of an eyepatch ngl
Do u have the burning blade ship while doing the recovery ritual? If you just loot them without having the world event ship in ur possession u won't progress

@@icexinfinity0 the whole server attack at the same time every time
You said with merchant, "Buy supplies, then raise the flag". It should be, "Raise the flag, then buy the supplies." ☺
Why not use the cannons for the ashen lord? do they do less damage?
If you're solo and ok your ship he will start throwing large rocks at your ship, it becomes really hard to deal with.
I hope this gets pinned or something, but the Merchant Voyage version of the Skeleton Camps give you way more reputation than the orb, and are worth almost as much. If you want the orb commendation though, go for orb.
is this more for gold than for rep?

My merchant voyage was bugged literally the first time I did it hahaha, the book from the ship just floated in the water without a shipwreck

Whats the point of making gold?
The last two times i tried to do a lost shipment we couldnt get the key. So now i just do raids for merch

can confirm as of today: manifest making the ship vanish bug is still very much in the game
I just center the beam in the center of the big open section and rotate much quicker.

W ty for this guide
I just blast Athena Missions and the other factions just seems to level up on their own.
ONLY do Athena (Emissary) and you will hit 100 in the other factions long before you hit Athena 100.
selling the orbs to just 3 of them does seem a lot better for me but selling to the reapers is a lot tougher for just me as a solo
The vault nerfs are ridiculous. I went from 300k an hr to 200k. I care less about the gold though, just trying to hit legend. Ill have it within the next day or so. Just need 30 more levels in merchant and 9 in gold.
When I do ship wreck voyages no Loot spawns
Does it work for hunters call?
Nope.
The skelly camp raid gives more rep for each faction than the orbs do.
