@katttruewalker Fantastic post! The info here isn't just for newbies, either. There's lots of useful info here for players of all levels. I'll be referring back to this post often, I'm sure. Thanks! :)

@katttruewalker nice miss truewalker

Yip, have to agree with what has been said already.
Splendid work compiling this!!!

The game is certainly more involved now than from it's original launch.
A handy guide for a Pirate just about to weigh anchor & raise those sails for the first time.

It's dangerous out there on the Sea.
Many have ventured.
Those that return... pass on their knowledge.
Ultimately.... to make "Legends" of us all.

Youtube is a great resource, & I know there are many great content creators out there.
Our very own @PhuzzyBond has just started a new web series... I'll let him explain in his own words.

" I aim to make a one-stop shop for everything beginner to intermediate Sea of Thieves guide, Instead of roaming the web to hunt for the right guide or tips that you need, this series will be the right one for you."

4 episodes in... it could be the start to a great video series.
Kudos! @PhuzzyBond

Sea of Thieves: Introduction & Character Creation (2019)

@KattTruewalker Nice piece of work. And Remember that the Wind is your friend, Head straight into it if you're being chased by a bigger fish, or head with the wind if chased by a smaller fish. Ye who doesn't look, won't see the enemy coming....

Nice thread ya got here @KattTruewalker, very cool.

As for my tip:
If you're playing solo get your hands on a rowboat.
It speeds your entire operation up!

Also it makes for a great escape pod when your fleeing your enemies.

And to any new players reading this; hope you have a great time on the Sea of Thieves!

If using a galleon... do not store your loot in the captains cabin IF you have a rowboat attached. This will get sneaky ninja pirates a very easy way to steal all your loot and get away with it. (As they can move all your stuff from the cabin to the rowboat without anyone seeing it... and then use the rowboat to get away with all your stuff.)

Solution: Store your loot where you can see it (middle of the deck or around the map table).

Also, sell your loot every time you happen to pass by an outpost...

Nice screenshots, captures the game nicely. We should also spread pictures like this to new (and future) players to show them the ambience of the game.

Thanks mate, I consider myself a bit of a SoT photographer, I love taking screenshots that look like that'd be in a offcial gaming article about SoT.

So it'd be great if my screenshots inspire new players to keep playing the game.

However I do like having some fun with my photos as well...

Hi @KattTruewalker any way this "link" of info can be tied to an in-game menu, or something. this is good. It's big.

What's a sloop?

@katttruewalker I'm trolling XD

good guide though. Been seeing a lot of new faces on the sea.

"Create the most fun, welcoming, multiplayer experience ever" is no longer true.

@katttruewalker thank you for all you hard work. This will be fantastic for new players!

@piratecraggy I just saw this :) thank you I really appreciate you spreading the word and helping new pirates.
