*Click the "Thanks" button under the video to leave me a donation.* This guide was made by constantly practicing the last two betas as well as studying the "Keepers" pathings from all their twitch vods. A "keeper" was someone who had access to the game a full year prior to launch who were possibly hired by Ubisoft to make guides and help wiki's for the game. (I not 100% but that seems to be their job.). I combined my efficiency and theirs to make this guide so we can all level as fast as possible and get to the juicy good stuff. :)
Hi, first time finding your channel. Thank you for making this, as you've covered so many things that I feel just wasn't explained well enough by the game itself. Your style, humor, analogies, references, and gentle care to explain the information without making others feel dumb is much appreciated. You're the true kingpin of the seas Captain. You've helped immensely.
Thanks for the guide! Was great progression to a medium ship. I made a few changes for my own game play, but was nice to have a path to follow. Now to move on to your next video.
Great "Best Possible Start" video Benji. I also enjoy the closing statements in the videos. If you don't click the video to the right, Xyz will happen. 🤣
Thanks for the video! Helped me a ton! Do you have a part 2 video for the next 2 hours you mentioned in the video about getting the next ship? Thanks again!
FYI you don’t have to buy anything from the vanity quest just talk to her to enter store and leave it will trigger the next part to talk to the blacksmith.
@SwoleBenji Not many options as it's very difficult with the PS5 controllers. The adaptive triggers don't register right away for this. If the green is anywhere towards the front I won't be able to press it in time. Tried to switch the controls around so it's not R2 but the game setup doesn't like that very much.
My biggest issue in this game currently is that missions say they are level 2 or 3 or whatever amd want you to fight enemies lvl 5 or 6 or whatever and its impossible to actually compete at a lower level
I’ve done pretty much all the sidequests and stuff. Only the level 9+ quests have harder targets. Not really came across a level 3 quest making me take down a level 5 ship. Considering how they deal with level difference penalties. Perhaps there was a patrolling high level ship when you did the quest. Just keep an eye on the surroundings. If there’s a patrol that’s high level, then just hang back a bit. Watch a youtube video until they patrol past.
@@Regianldo56 when i did a quest that was recomended lvl 3 it wanted me to take out 3 or so ships that were lvl 6 i was only lvl 5 and they obliterated me
@@i20coyote85 that’s… odd. Never ran across that or any issues with low quests… maybe I was already over levelled? I honestly just remember struggling with some of the high quests 😭 Sorry to hear that man
@@Regianldo56 yea its not most of them but its happened a couple times with random quests and once when i attacked a fort that was level 7 when i was 8 and got mistly level 8 ships, that wasntbso bad since i was level 8 but as im getting higher level its not as much of an issue
@falckiee7550 the beta is supposed to be a demo but I played the beta and it was just the full game but they only let you reach a certain level in the beta nothing is in the full game that wasn't in the open beta
@-Homelander. this is incorrect, there is more story to go through, plenty of quests, world events (keep in mind some things won't be active during early access like the battle pass) pvp events etc, sea monsters and ghost ships there's tons
@@-Homelander. We have different understandings of beta and game demos, nothing wrong in that, most betas I played have been to stress test servers and find bugs. Latest beta I tried was The finals and that beta even had Battle pass lmao
For some god damn reason I wasn't able to play beta is my pc crap or are the requirements op af can play for honor but can't play the crew or skull n bones
@@brettskinner5824 you said you had the same issue in The Crew. Maybe its an issue with the whole "always online" thing? Just weird when you can play For Honor honestly.
Too woked out, we all know the famous women pirates. Not wasting g time, as all you should avoid these games as well. Gamers need to take a stand. Pirates had pronouns you know.
swolle can u plz assist a mod-t*rd *diot like myself who never used nexus mods b4 screwed up the files on starfield mods so i was afriad to delete my steam saves or worse? I cannot find any good guides on how to start fresh with nexus mods and or - do it properly on current patches. IF u could would be grateful, if not all G subbed- thanks for the vids.
The profanity flagger is out of control. I can't name my ship "Charlotte".....my daughter's name, the queen of england who's name was used all the time in the new world. Like wth ubisoft
@@mechwarrior13 Having worked on games for PC, Nintendo, XBox, and Playstation its MUCH cheaper and easier to develop for PC. Console companies make it as difficult as possible. And they are just crappy outdated PCs by the time you get them anyhow.
Cant believe they made the game look this good just to make it into an arcade shooter. The lack of historical accuracy will turn a lot of potential long term players away, leaving the game with kids whos gonna stop playing in a few weeks or maybe months whenever they get bored (which will 100% happen due to the bareboness of this game)

I want more! I hope others are hitting that "thanks" button
@SwoleBenji so you basically ignore the next 2 ships defender and cutter and save resources
Thanks for the help. Really easy to learn. After 15 hours of playing I had not gotten past level 3. I am 75 so I need all the help I can get!
I love that you enjoy video games. Most of the elderly i know look down on it 🙄 Enjoy the game, sir!

Really excited to see where this game goes. Picked it up only because I love the age of sail and I think I’m going to end up playing this a while
I just git it on Saturday love it snd season 2 comes tomorrow :S
Thanks for the guide! Was great progression to a medium ship. I made a few changes for my own game play, but was nice to have a path to follow. Now to move on to your next video.
Thanks for this great guide! I should have watched it earlier - yesterday I lost 3 or 4 treasure maps after being killed.
This is a great video for people that don't know anything about the game. Very informative and a great direction to start in.
Best breakdown ive seen in a long time. Thanks brother.
Great "Best Possible Start" video Benji. I also enjoy the closing statements in the videos. If you don't click the video to the right, Xyz will happen. 🤣
Plz make a part 2 to this video!
Thanks Benji for this video. It sure took a lot of effort to make. Keep it up!
In just a few hours I’ll see you guys at the Sea 👀
Oh! A game u dont speak crap about😮 I gonna watch it all ❤️🔥
Great guide. Would be nice to have spreadsheet of minimum materials you need for each "stage".
Definitely did a good job showing and explaining how things work on there ......keep it up
8 hours trial going into Campaign, I have a padewakang from Beta, I have fast travels to both africa and east indies
Thanks man! i don't have a lot of time to play, so having this helped me a lot to do waste my little play time!
Great great guide!! Thanks so much for this.
Thank you sooo much! If i wasnt poor id tip the hell outta you!
Thanks for the video! Helped me a ton! Do you have a part 2 video for the next 2 hours you mentioned in the video about getting the next ship? Thanks again!
Thanks for the great vid !
Just started the game and destroyed a few ships 6 levels higher than me. I guess they made the game easier.
this is going to help me a lot!! thank you!!
Thank you for the video. Very helpful.
Awesome guide. Thanks mate.
Great start guide!
Why level up so quickly, just take your time and enjoy the game while it lasts.
Low level ships insta-die in PvP.
Because otherwise you just get slapped by a level 6/7 padewekang
Id rather not die the moment i exit the safe zone. Played about 2 hours and have my next ship. Also discovering stuff on my owm
Helpful video!
FYI you don’t have to buy anything from the vanity quest just talk to her to enter store and leave it will trigger the next part to talk to the blacksmith.
Nope, it used to during beta but you're forced to buy 2 pieces of gear now.
This is extremely helpful
Thanks, i find some useful tips.👍
It is a useful guide to the game.
cant afford the game so will watch your videos, game looks fun
Aw you just missed the free open beta, ubisoft+premium is for 18$ a month thats not that bad
To the high seas matey, it will 100% be cracked within a month
@@mechwarrior13 hardly its online game but it will be on sale for sure
Awesome thanks Swole
Good video
Thank you 🙂
Do you’ve a video that shows how you take over these post and they become yours and start making coin from them?? I haven’t figured it out yet lol
You gotta play through the main story first.
Got kingpin and tier 11 in less then 2 days
Cant wait to sit with my friends playing this game drinking chocholate milk
It's so difficult to harvest on the PS5 controller. You have to hit R2 wayyy before you actually are in the zone. Had to turn auto harvest on
You're losing so, so much resources using auto harvest.
@SwoleBenji Not many options as it's very difficult with the PS5 controllers. The adaptive triggers don't register right away for this.

Loved this vid
ok..i never even got a chance to do any of the starting tutorial wasnt even an option for me? confused
Thanks!
Thanks lad!
Love this game 💙
thanks mate
I wish I knew this a few days ago
Why equip non fire weapons on the firebrand?
Because they're better in the DPS test. Simple. As.
I stopped playing because I could not chop the trees like the game told me...meh...Nice video though. Thank you for it ^^
The word Bloody was considered inappropriate for part of the ship name lol

Hi, so is that the whole world map of do you advance to another area later.
So far this is all we get.
How to make sails transparent
This game is expensive!!!!!! I’m taking my time.
So nothing has changed from the open beta, besides the level cap being lifted? No new questslines? The beta was the full game
Wym? Beta isn't a demo ?

thought level came from xp from quest and killing mobs 😭😭
Good video, too bad you've played for a year and didn't release this during beta. Sucks
For some god damn reason I wasn't able to play beta is my pc crap or are the requirements op af can play for honor but can't play the crew or skull n bones
If your game keeps crashing after main menu, try lower the overall graphics settings.

No you dont buy a new game. You have to make a new ubisoft account unless you have ubisoft+

I don't use Nexus Mods cause of their dumb policies. Can't help, sorry lad.
u were the chosen one!!@@SwoleBenji allG apressh!
If you want to restart just use a different account
And buy the game again?!
No, logout of your Ubisoft account and make a new one. That’s how you can start over.

The game doesn’t need to be historical accurate like cod so games doesn’t need to be
Cod = historically accurate game ... hmm not sure about the drone swarm. When did that happen?! 😂
The game is trash
Better call it `Get bored with the game early`
I'd say the best way to win this will be to not play it.
