Just something to note here, the implication is that bad players usually use certain cosmetics, not that if you use certain cosmetics you're a bad player. If you just really really love the kraken outfit (for some reason), go ahead and wear it. You might throw someone off by making them think you're a worse player than you are.
That's... actually a kinda fun idea. Just throw on the sea dog set (for both the ship and my outfit) and do stuff like leave the ship anchored with sails down, just to lull other players to a false sense of security. I kinda wanna try that now.
I’ve done that same thing with my purple PL outfit, I just like it that much. One time I got specifically called out by some sweaty arena tuckers in adventure for using it, lets just say they weren’t laughing when my majestic purple outfit was the last thing they saw before getting spawn camped and having their ship sunk.
Yeah, I just wish @Blurbs actually said that. I wear whatever the hell I want that I think fits my Pirate's backstory in my head, I have never once given thought to what other people see or think of it.
I have an idea for a video. What if you asked for people to submit clips of their PVP and you run through the clips and say what they did right and wrong. So they get a more personalized understanding.
I definetly agree that the most dangerous are the ones with a relatively easy-to-obtain, but well put together outfit, with touches of hard earned cosmetics
So I guess I fall into this, huh. Dirty rotten bilge rat pants, redcoat admiral shirt, imperial sovereign boots, and the hard earned stuff being the DA belt, DA face paint, Season 1 PL exclusive hair, and to top it all off, the gold curse.
It's crazy how far some of them go just to obviously aproach your boat and get 1 tapped by a blunderbuss. Had a guy row over to a skeleton fleet in the middle of the ocean just to tuck on me lol
-Am new player -Decides to watch tips videos -See video and wants to know how to not look like a noob -gets perfectly described like literally everything I’ve bought for myself and my ship -feels bad
I dress like a hobo and my ship is a mismatch of all kinds of sets. I actually try not to equip anything rare or difficult to get speficially to throw people off who might be trying to judge skill level. Beware the sea hobo!
@@KopperNeoman Right? Cornwallis freed many enslaved people....and then Washington turned around and did the opposite. Mr. Sinnott should have helped sink what was left of the French fleet. Maybe the British would have won, and that would have been better for thousands and thousands of people.
I personally like the pirate legend outfit because purple is my favourite color so sometimes in my opinion cosmetics may just be what they like instead of that they just want to show off
Same here, I just got PL but I'll probably keep parts of that set around since I just think it looks awesome. The gold chains are pretty sweet too. If I ever run into Blurbs and he thinks I'm even more of a noob than I really am, then that's only working in my favor!
I just wear whatever i like, Same goes for the cosmetics on my ship, So if i end up looking like a newb or a tryhard, Or someone that's skilled at pvp or something else, So be it lol
This. I LOVE the Glorious Sea Dog on the ship, and mixed the GSD jacket with other stuff. This doesn't mean I'm good at pvp tbh. So if you wanna think I'm good, so be it x2
Tip: if you’re boarding a stationary sloop but they’re watching ladders or you don’t want to use ladders, you can board using their rowboat if they have one.
Me who purposefully doesn’t wear a specific set and tries to make my pirate and ship look as stupid as possible: I am four parallel universes ahead of you
Stupid, flamboyant or outrageous styles are a good indicator that you're about to encounter some form of frustrating meta. 50/50 they're a kamikaze type.
Nothing beats dressing like a clown and bullhorning Enya in a piercing falsetto at passing ships. Screw your cosmetics and your loot, it's all fake. The real treasure is the nerds you confuse along the way.
I joined slooper on party boat cosmetics, who looked like circus clown and had everything on lvl 75. He was just doing PVE, we did merchant emissary, shrines and killed ashen lord. Lovely voyage.

Yo im on that same vibe so if yall eva need another get at me im dwn to play i was up till 6am on this jawn lastnight until i realized the time n said time to crash 😂
As a pretty new player I can confirm that this is right. The second I got like 20k gold I spent on Kraken peg leg, eyepatch, and hook, because as a new player those thing seem really cool
When it comes to ship cosmetics, I think it's kinda stupid that everyone is judged by the skins they are using. I just wanna have the coolest looking ship possible, not trying to avoid to look like a noob nor trying to look like a pro

@@retriggered yeah arena has been helpful, just coming back to the game after the initial learning -> burnout -> comeback. I am now at the comeback phase, I liked arena though but there is so much new stuff going on
I still wear essentially the same outfit Ive been wearing since my 2nd or 3rd week in the game and Ive been playing off and on since the Devil's Roar Expansion. Never found anything else that I cared to equip.
I think people tend to forget that some switch their outfit and ship to match what they are doing. If collecting animals for merchant i always use lucky rover set with bunny cannons and parrot wheel and capstan and my default clothes. reaping i go with an aggressive look. ashen stuff in the devils roar etc. I have a goal and i have a theme :D

Parrot set: although these people might meme and troll with their crew they usually try to be friendly towards everyone, always expect them to give you a piece of food as a peace offering, however if you betray them they will often become vicious and chase you until they lose sight of you so unless you want an alliance with them stay away or sink them before you accept the peace offering
I think some good notes of cosmetics to look out for: Anyone wearing that ugly blue Castaway Blige Rat Jacket (unofficially known as the TDM jacket), or anyone with tattoos, gold curse, no shirt /exposed chest is more likely than not a good player. There are always the times when you encounter player with any of those apparel and are still bad. But if you see someone like that, generally be ready for a fight. Also I have never seen a good crew with the Ori/Ancestral ship set.
I'm surprised I don't see more people with kraken sails. Torn sails give you more vision as captain. That's what my crew uses exclusively. We typically sink 30-40 ships before we find trouble. So keep an eye out for those.
I rock the Black Dog set. I’m not the best at PvP, but I’m pretty good at ship combat. I wear the set simply because it’s the best looking set out there.
I'm still new, just learned the infamous sword lunge. Can't do it reliably enough for a fight yet, but one day. I'm still pretty bad at pvp. Can't aim cannons for nothing. I do block with the sword, but I don't know my way around a fight well enough to run circles around people yet. My clothing of choice? Pirate lord jacket, white undershirt, hunter hat, I forget what pants I'm running specifically, sea dog boots. Not a bad outfit, if I say so myself. Not super flashy, but more than minimalist. Very down to earth look. I just bough my first ship asthetic. It's the rose hull. I love the red!
Great video i loved it and I have some things to say, if you see skiny male characters or female skiny characters with the menders jacket,or the sovereign hat with mercenary pants or something like that and with the golden curse then just leave the game immediately they always double gun and has like god like aim and pretty good ping so they can quick scope you before you can breathe btw if you can make a video about movement in a fight i would be saved cause im pretty good and pretty experienced player but i have way to bad movement so i die too much 😒
honestly just learn what movement is effective against what weapons. sword, run away and mix it up with strafes and different moves, doublegunners are easy to gauge too, mostly the same stuff but way more strafes and jukes.
@@fourcatz918 people with the stuff he described only do two things A. Launch as soon as the game starts. B. Get your mast down and launch to farm/camp. I’ve found a way to counter both.
Feeling real called out here. I run a mix of pirate legend, sea dog and nightshine parrot cosmetics because they look good together. Pity there arent more nice purple and gold cosmetics, or blue and silver. My favourite colour scheme is pretty restricted to the relatively new ones [except for the Triumphant set, but good lord I can't really bother with that :V]
As someone who wears tucklord gear, very accurate description. I've managed to pull off some crazy steals and have a lot of stories to tell about successful sneaks, but I am mid-tier at pirate-to-pirate PVP at best. I know my limits and try to choose my fights, hence the stealth gameplay, but a lot of times I bite off more than I can chew. And I'd be lying if I said RUclips didn't influence my decision to try stealth.
The kind of player I usually look out for are the ones with ugly, hobo or easy to get outfits with very few hard to get cosmetics. For example people that only wear the pirate legend eyepatch
Ive been playing since day 1 and i have only used the sea dog open jacket, i just like the way it looks. I do however use every old bone crusher vanity so i guess it equals out lmao
I just wanna say, everything this guy is saying, atleast when it comes to pirate clothing, these are all STRICTLY stereo-typical it's really easy to look at a cosmetic and say "oh he's definitely dogshit ez claps" but at the end of the day always be ready for whatever, I play on PC servers while on console because the reason I have gotten better over the years is because normally on these servers players are better (fps advancements etc) but other than that I have nothing to say, great video partner continue to educate the young scallywags and seadogs joining The Sea Of Thieves Community!
Costume - wise there is only one I run - warsmith (dunno if that is the correct translation, I'm talking about the skeleton one). Been playing almost since the game came out commercially, but i fell in love with that set ^^
Either they're good enough at PvP to regularly turn both their own profit and that of the haul of their enemies, or they solely PvE and rarely get into fights.
Yea everybody I see wearing DA set are blunder sword users that miss most to every one of there shots, and when they run out of ammo, spam right click like there life depends on it
I use the ocean crawler set equipment and all, like you said I’m pretty bad at pvp. But I did get the set when you could only buy it at Marrows Peak Outpost.
I am a Pirate Legend but I still liked the Ashen set to this day , due to the Eastern Dragon feel, it is the only set that I felt sorta represents both my culture and skill, as the other eastern sets are premium.
I’ve been wearing the kraken set (equipment, outfit and boat customisations) since o got the game back in 2018 and I’ve never actually changed it since then
"If you see the Triumphant Sea Dog ship, be ready for a fight." If they use the Triumphant Sea Dog ship set, they probably suck. Now, if they wear the hat/gloves and a gold curse while shirtless, that's a different story.
I bought this game yesterday and of course I watched some of your tips before playing and I use default ship and wear full sovereign outfit and afterwards I fought with BIG SHIP and 2 crews they all wearing, idk but very shiny and cool weapon skin, and me win thanks to this youtuber
The thing is, every crew I've sailed with tend to love the more expensive and ostentatious outfits. I actually don't. Even were I to be an amazing player, I'd still prefer to look like a cheap and dirty scoundrel. It feels more authentic. The flashy stuff looks (to me) like drag queen outfits XD.
Me, going for purple and gold colours, using imperial sovereign, with some other stuff mixed in, like the parrot peg leg, gloves and boots, looking forward to unlocking the pirate legend set: "Do I desire to become worse at the game?" Been playing for like 4 days and got to 25+ in Order of Souls, 20+ in Gold Hoarders and still
The thing is no matter what they are wearing, you should always be wary. It could be a pvp sweat lord dressing purposely as a reaper or wearing the kraken outfit to make them seem bad and bring your guard down a bit
Im either wearing the most recent renown 100 unlock, or some mishmash outfit to compliment my mishmashed ship cosmetics. Recently, I've had a thing for the color blue
I never remove my day 1 eyepatch and have played since early beta. Sometimes rock the launch crew sniper but typically stick to pistoI and headband no shirt or jacket with some unassuming pants a rope belt and normal boots hahaha. Also like running an unassuming title like gold swabbie xD
My flag ship has all emporium cosmetics. I use the Lunar Festival hull, Dark Warsmith collector sails, cannons, wheel and capstan and I have the Royal Revenge collector figurehead.
Here's a bit of a tip with Athena ship cosmetics: If it's the full set, they're most likely PvE/Alliance server plebs who are trying to flex. However. If you see just the hull and figurehead, mixed in with other rare cosmetics (my friend loves his wandering reaper sails for this, the double scythe sail)... They usually are looking for a fight, and are good at it. Either they can't afford dark adventurers, or just feel the hull and other cosmetics don't fit the look. Also, I love the Jolly Roger. People underestimate me, taking me for some noob. Yet it's the opposite.
maybe if they have one or two parrot pieces sure i understand theyd be new. but a whole ship and crew being either nightshine or normal parrot is a major 50/50, sometimes theyre memeing heavily or are trolls who'll steal all your loot. fun to play as.
ive rocked the jolly rodger from the moment I started to now and im gonna keep doing it if it makes me look like a noob the better, long as I dont look like a sailor ship tryhard
5:08 "unassuming with only one or 2 hard to get cosmetics" Is exactly what I go for. I'm not too great at the game but I thought my specific choice of style being called out is kinda wild
Ashen will usually be mixed bag, their shiny & glow so it attracts all kinds of players, but they also take a fair bit of time in tall tales & lottery to collect. So they could be a few weeks old, to playing a solid year plus. I'm not a strong or good PvP'er but I am good at avoidance in a sloop, I can usually swoop in to snag a reaper chest between two larger ships coming for it. Then lead them on a marry chase till they give up & I cash in.
more accurately would be to assess them by how they park their ships and approach you. people that anchor down aren't "ready to go". people that approach you broadside are.. well.. sunk. etc...
I’ve noticed that the really scary players wear a mix of rare items or just wear one small part of a rare set like a belt or boots, while pirates with full black dog/Full TSD/Full ferryman or whatever don’t have many other rare things and really want to show off the one rare set they do have
Lol the only 2 I’m guilty of is the Ashen Hull and the Reaper PJ’s. My friend got it so we thought we should all do it. Plus I was concerned about getting toxic female hate from players, which is a non issues I realize now because lots of dude players enjoy female characters. But super funny, and super enlightening. That gold curse is still a grind, even with check points. Especially the shores of gold.
Well... Some minutes ago we were sank by an sloop while we were being a galleon, the other ones were a sloop with default ship and I think both of them were carrying the assassin dress... in any case they were actually good at spawn camping with the blunderbuss. So yeah, default ships are no joke, I wanted to board them but they were actually hard to board. My friends are very new at the game and I returned to the game after one year of not opening it and yeah... We got owned... god I love this game but damn sometimes it stresses me out.
RIP to all of us who wore some of the cosmetics he accurately roasted
i used to wear the crab set cause i thought it was cool and ngl, his assessment in spot on. i am pretty bad at sea of thieves pvp
I actually never bought the kraken or crab set, I did buy the reapers pjs, however, I took it off because I didn’t like the style
He never even mentioned mine
I know I wear grand admiral
I bought the Kraken outfit because I thought it looked cool. My broski bought the crab. Geez, this was accurate.
Just something to note here, the implication is that bad players usually use certain cosmetics, not that if you use certain cosmetics you're a bad player. If you just really really love the kraken outfit (for some reason), go ahead and wear it. You might throw someone off by making them think you're a worse player than you are.

Ok but to be fair I wish you could still wear Pirate Legend gear without being clowned on cause while not hard to get it just looks nice.
I think some good notes of cosmetics to look out for:
Anyone wearing that ugly blue Castaway Blige Rat Jacket (unofficially known as the TDM jacket), or anyone with tattoos, gold curse, no shirt /exposed chest is more likely than not a good player. There are always the times when you encounter player with any of those apparel and are still bad. But if you see someone like that, generally be ready for a fight.

B. Get your mast down and launch to farm/camp.
I’ve found a way to counter both.
Feeling real called out here. I run a mix of pirate legend, sea dog and nightshine parrot cosmetics because they look good together. Pity there arent more nice purple and gold cosmetics, or blue and silver. My favourite colour scheme is pretty restricted to the relatively new ones [except for the Triumphant set, but good lord I can't really bother with that :V]
The purple and gold does look good… I’m sticking with it
I love this series.
As someone who wears tucklord gear, very accurate description. I've managed to pull off some crazy steals and have a lot of stories to tell about successful sneaks, but I am mid-tier at pirate-to-pirate PVP at best. I know my limits and try to choose my fights, hence the stealth gameplay, but a lot of times I bite off more than I can chew.
And I'd be lying if I said RUclips didn't influence my decision to try stealth.
Do a video on how good people are with different titles
I've found the better players don't use titles, that being said obviously you'll come across players who are new and haven't unlocked any.
Gold swabbie = give up
Legend of the sea of thieves = sink with one hand
The disappointment in your voice when the ship crashed into the island gets me every time
The kind of player I usually look out for are the ones with ugly, hobo or easy to get outfits with very few hard to get cosmetics. For example people that only wear the pirate legend eyepatch
Ive been playing since day 1 and i have only used the sea dog open jacket, i just like the way it looks. I do however use every old bone crusher vanity so i guess it equals out lmao
I just wanna say, everything this guy is saying, atleast when it comes to pirate clothing, these are all STRICTLY stereo-typical it's really easy to look at a cosmetic and say "oh he's definitely dogshit ez claps" but at the end of the day always be ready for whatever, I play on PC servers while on console because the reason I have gotten better over the years is because normally on these servers players are better (fps advancements etc) but other than that I have nothing to say, great video partner continue to educate the young scallywags and seadogs joining The Sea Of Thieves Community!
Costume - wise there is only one I run - warsmith (dunno if that is the correct translation, I'm talking about the skeleton one). Been playing almost since the game came out commercially, but i fell in love with that set ^^
Update: If they have dark adventurer cosmetics, run for your life.
50/50 many of them suck
Either they're good enough at PvP to regularly turn both their own profit and that of the haul of their enemies, or they solely PvE and rarely get into fights.
Yea everybody I see wearing DA set are blunder sword users that miss most to every one of there shots, and when they run out of ammo, spam right click like there life depends on it
Not really. Just server alliance grinders
I use the ocean crawler set equipment and all, like you said I’m pretty bad at pvp. But I did get the set when you could only buy it at Marrows Peak Outpost.
I've been rocking the ancestral ship livery set just to look like a noob rarely get bothered though even with it's glowing parts
I am a Pirate Legend but I still liked the Ashen set to this day , due to the Eastern Dragon feel, it is the only set that I felt sorta represents both my culture and skill, as the other eastern sets are premium.
Me crying because I use the whole sea dog set
I’ve been wearing the kraken set (equipment, outfit and boat customisations) since o got the game back in 2018 and I’ve never actually changed it since then
When you're a veteran player who still puts up the Jolly Roger flag 😂😂
Me: wears full kraken in first week of playing
I just wear things that look nice, mix and match, I don’t give a damn lol
Same, unfortunately a lot of cosmetics that might indicate skill don't look too great on my character
Thank you for the longer video! Very helpful!
"If you see the Triumphant Sea Dog ship, be ready for a fight."
If they use the Triumphant Sea Dog ship set, they probably suck.
Now, if they wear the hat/gloves and a gold curse while shirtless, that's a different story.
To be fair it does take a good amount of skill to acquire the triumphant sea dog clothes
this guy just described my whole drip and called me a noob, time to change my ship to default and get rid of the reapers bones
I love dumpstering reaper pj's crews with my meme crab lord cosplay.
I bought this game yesterday and of course I watched some of your tips before playing and I use default ship and wear full sovereign outfit and afterwards I fought with BIG SHIP and 2 crews they all wearing, idk but very shiny and cool weapon skin, and me win thanks to this youtuber
😂 you can't judge me on what I wear because I theme my cosmetics on what I want to do that session
-Puts on dark adventurer outfit and set-
lanterns on are usually a good indicator As well
Hi can you make a video on the benefits of a blunderbuss? I usually use it because I don't have good aim with the pistol
At point blank it can one shot a player, pellet spread is really extreme so it has to be point blank.
The thing is, every crew I've sailed with tend to love the more expensive and ostentatious outfits. I actually don't.
Even were I to be an amazing player, I'd still prefer to look like a cheap and dirty scoundrel. It feels more authentic. The flashy stuff looks (to me) like drag queen outfits XD.
Me, going for purple and gold colours, using imperial sovereign, with some other stuff mixed in, like the parrot peg leg, gloves and boots, looking forward to unlocking the pirate legend set: "Do I desire to become worse at the game?"
Been playing for like 4 days and got to 25+ in Order of Souls, 20+ in Gold Hoarders and still
The thing is no matter what they are wearing, you should always be wary. It could be a pvp sweat lord dressing purposely as a reaper or wearing the kraken outfit to make them seem bad and bring your guard down a bit
Im either wearing the most recent renown 100 unlock, or some mishmash outfit to compliment my mishmashed ship cosmetics. Recently, I've had a thing for the color blue
I never remove my day 1 eyepatch and have played since early beta. Sometimes rock the launch crew sniper but typically stick to pistoI and headband no shirt or jacket with some unassuming pants a rope belt and normal boots hahaha. Also like running an unassuming title like gold swabbie xD
My flag ship has all emporium cosmetics. I use the Lunar Festival hull, Dark Warsmith collector sails, cannons, wheel and capstan and I have the Royal Revenge collector figurehead.
Here's a bit of a tip with Athena ship cosmetics: If it's the full set, they're most likely PvE/Alliance server plebs who are trying to flex. However. If you see just the hull and figurehead, mixed in with other rare cosmetics (my friend loves his wandering reaper sails for this, the double scythe sail)... They usually are looking for a fight, and are good at it. Either they can't afford dark adventurers, or just feel the hull and other cosmetics don't fit the look.
Also, I love the Jolly Roger. People underestimate me, taking me for some noob. Yet it's the opposite.
maybe if they have one or two parrot pieces sure i understand theyd be new. but a whole ship and crew being either nightshine or normal parrot is a major 50/50, sometimes theyre memeing heavily or are trolls who'll steal all your loot. fun to play as.
ive rocked the jolly rodger from the moment I started to now and im gonna keep doing it
if it makes me look like a noob the better, long as I dont look like a sailor ship tryhard
still rocking the jolly roger
now with the black pearl
5:08 "unassuming with only one or 2 hard to get cosmetics" Is exactly what I go for. I'm not too great at the game but I thought my specific choice of style being called out is kinda wild
Ashen will usually be mixed bag, their shiny & glow so it attracts all kinds of players, but they also take a fair bit of time in tall tales & lottery to collect.
So they could be a few weeks old, to playing a solid year plus.
I'm not a strong or good PvP'er but I am good at avoidance in a sloop, I can usually swoop in to snag a reaper chest between two larger ships coming for it. Then lead them on a marry chase till they give up & I cash in.
You were correct on the kraken stuff because when I was new I gravitated toward it but now I have a ghostly mercenary fisher look
more accurately would be to assess them by how they park their ships and approach you.
people that anchor down aren't "ready to go".
people that approach you broadside are.. well.. sunk.
etc...
Then you have people who charge your broadside because they have a tucker, who then slaughters you for trying to get the opening salvo.
Found your channel yesterday. I’ve watched all you tips thanks man.keep it up
I’ve noticed that the really scary players wear a mix of rare items or just wear one small part of a rare set like a belt or boots, while pirates with full black dog/Full TSD/Full ferryman or whatever don’t have many other rare things and really want to show off the one rare set they do have
Lol the only 2 I’m guilty of is the Ashen Hull and the Reaper PJ’s. My friend got it so we thought we should all do it. Plus I was concerned about getting toxic female hate from players, which is a non issues I realize now because lots of dude players enjoy female characters. But super funny, and super enlightening. That gold curse is still a grind, even with check points. Especially the shores of gold.
I genuinely like the pirate legend outfit
I used kraken outfit for a while cuze it looked sick to me😂😂, now I wear Athena costume to show off, my dude got me for real
My first set i bought was the Wild Rose Set because it's easier to farm duplones than gold
duplones

Well... Some minutes ago we were sank by an sloop while we were being a galleon, the other ones were a sloop with default ship and I think both of them were carrying the assassin dress... in any case they were actually good at spawn camping with the blunderbuss.
So yeah, default ships are no joke, I wanted to board them but they were actually hard to board. My friends are very new at the game and I returned to the game after one year of not opening it and yeah... We got owned... god I love this game but damn sometimes it stresses me out.
i use a jolly roger flag and use frozen horizon/ lunar festival/ soulflame ship sets but i've been playing since 2018-2019
I’m good at the game and love the ocean crawler outfit, especially the azure one.
reaper sails are also used because of their bottom texture which obscures vision less than other ones, simmilar with the 8mil adventure sails
I just put on parts that I find very suiting on my pirate, so its very random😅
My buddy wears the Pirate Legend outfit and he clears out entire galleons lol. He's an insane boarder.
