Suggestions for how to keep people away in High Seas?

@rednoodlepanda there isn’t anything you can do, say or type that will keep the blood thirsty tdm pirates from attacking you. For some reason this game has players that love to fight pirate v pirate. Hourglass matches are mainly all naval now, so when a crew finds an easy target they kill on sight.

Keep an eye and sail the other way

Cheers 🍻

Any tips for how to deter people from attacking you out of nowhere in HS

Don’t play HS and go play SS

Besides that. Nobody has any reason to “leave you alone”. But a few things tend to say “I’m not a fighter”

• cannons up
• white flare
• default sails
• classic white flag/alliance flag

But people tend to use these to trick and setup

Wear what you want.
Stay away from world events and beacon treasures.
Turn in often.
Keep supplies minimal. Especially chain shots.
If you play on console make sure to set to console/controller preferred.
Don't stay at one island too long.

If you really want to be alone in High Seas try staying in the Devils Roar, the Reputation and Gold is very good and you can get your 10 levels in merchant very quickly by grabbing a stack of Captained Devils Roar Cargo Run Voyages.

10 should cost you 8'000 Gold but if you can get a server without a Reaper 5 on it you can put up a merchant emissary flag and make up to 560'000 Gold in 10 Voyages.
Nobody will bother you out in the Roar but just stay away from volcanoes and try not to damage the cargo.
Each Voyage should take you about 3 to 5 minutes so work fast and you could be making millions per session without seeing a single ship on the horizon.

@rednoodlepanda You might have to get lucky to get the route but there are 3 in the Roar, you may be at more of a risk of being near volcanoes unless your final destination is near Morrows Peak.

How can you tell what level a reaper rep is in a server? And are you just talking about the cargo delivery missions you get from the MA representative?

On your map you can see the number of stripes on their banner - each stripe is a level.
