What Is The Most DANGEROUS Ship? - Sea of Thieves
Today, we're looking at a key part of naval combat, where you have to judge your enemies based on their cosmetics. This is an important skill in naval combat and may just save your skin. As the list goes on, you'll be more likely to encounter ships that WILL sink you.
As for the rest, not all of them are 100% accurate and depends on your skill level, so this list is tailored to the average player.

I've been playing since Alpha and I approve this video.
Not just playing, but PVP'ing since Alpha.
Same. Although I’ve kind of been on a break for a very long time. But I pretty much always use my Brave Vanguard sail and it’s the title I use too.
I wish I'd known about SoT in 2017 ;( i did start playing a year later though
Except for the Emporium aspect. You can be a long-time player and pvp'er but still buy ship sets cause you're a fan of other pirate media, such as PoTC.
The comment made towards them screams "I'm a no-life sweat and can't afford the sets cause I barely make ends meet on YT"....
@@hotshotx1598 Some people like it some people don't it's down to preference, In my opinion the emporium items are cool but i prefer to have put hours into the items i wear/use.
1 objection.
i have never won against merchant alliance cosmetics. i don't know what it is. they have the speed of their snakes, the health of their pigs, and if you hurt their chickens so help you god you better scuttle before they start loading the cursed cannonballs
Merchants just run from us
I usually put merchant emissary on to pvp
Merchants have way more to lose than the average ship....its a pain in the arse catching those animals, you best not get them killed!
here’s a lesson, some merchants are simple cowards.
but some are ruthless, and God help us, if someone tries to take our cargo we will stop at nothing to protect it
Cause we crippin cuh
That Bluurbs joke tho Ray, respect lmao. You two are some of the best SoT TH-camrs out there.
@Harley Quinn © Damn bingus
I was proud of that one
Cap blurbs sucks can confirm 5-0 I’m up in blurbs
@@AShinyRay as you should
@@AShinyRay you /were/¿
You have forgotten the one set of sails that indicate the truly nice and wholesome players: The Glitterbeard Sails.
How do you get them
@@frenchtoast2319 Glitterbeard books and event with another crew.
@@smileyvr4438 I did the whole glitterbeard thing and sadly never got the sail. I only got the beard
@@NsNoxOfficialyou have to read one of his books in one of the taverns
I’ve unfortunately been sunk far too many times with Glitterbeard.
My biggest fear is silverblade alongside with DA sails. I met them once and that was horror. The second tho might be unpainted sloop because you're never sure how strong the crew can be. For the third mercenary/wandering reaper maybe. They're anomalies.
All of these are free sinks prove me wrong
Can confirm for the Dark Insider ships. My crew have only defeated 2 of the maybe 10 we've come across in the last year and a half. You don't usually survive :P
I once found a very small local streamer in the seas sporting this exact set, they were a decent bunch, gave us a good fight but ultimately ended up losing, great sports tho, we found hm again a couple more times and the second fight lasted even less time lol
always avoid Party Boat Sloops they will want to ally you and then will hop on your ship and take all your planks and cannonballs then immediately sink you since you can't fight back
@@sliestwheel indeed. this set is unpredictable
I feel like the arena ship hulls are going to get a lot more use because they color the inside of your ship as well
So does Wailing Barnacle. Changed below every ship which is stupid lol
@@Djsinane how is that stupid?
I use the azure crab set for two reasons: I was a crab player my entire time playing sea of thieves, and it’s my favourite looking version of the set, and apart from the sails it looks eerily similar to the standard ocean crawler set, which can and has definitely served to lull opposing crews into a false sense of security when out for my blood
Omg a fellow azure crab user
Ocean Crawler is peak cosmetics
Oh my fellow Crab people... been playing a week after launch and I loved the Crab set... I loved it more when I found out how much everyone else hated it
I'm 750 hours so a solid mid-level player. I have most of the sets now but I run the Azure when I do Sunken kingdom stuff otherwise I use rare to get cosmetics. Azure rocks though. Crab people unit!
as a night parrot user, boooooooo!
Full Party Boat set strikes fear even into the best of the best, not for the fight, but because you KNOW you are about to be blasted with the most obnoxious music on the seas
I just bought my "Vengabus" galley party boat so you know what I'm about to be blasting lolllll
In the short time I have been playing now, I learned to hate the ships (usually brigantines) with the dark adventurer sails. 9.5 out of 10 times they ram you full speed and then proceed to double-gun spawncamp you WITHOUT having at least the deceny of sinking you.
Then control your own fate, scuttle your ship and end their fun. 🤡
@@MrHAPPYHAWAIIAN That what I usually end up doing after a few attempts to get em off my ship.
@@schrodingerskatze6487 👍and if really toxic, jump to another server. 😁
The reason they're ramming and going to boarding to defeat you is because they're not good at naval.
The way you remedy this is make sure you have someone on watch on your ship and you start shooting them and move before they can ram you.
If they're driving into your broadside really easy to get them on the defensive keep the pressure on them and they'll sink before they can do anything to you
@@magicpyroninja The whole ram & camp thing is a legitimate tactic as far as I am concerned, IF used to sink the opponent and not just to kill them over and over for the lolz. Another Problem is I rarely get more crewmates than for a sloop so even if we get em into our broadside, we cant do enough damage before they close the distance. I do realize my saltiness here but I just cant help it, it is just really unsatisfactory to fall victim to these kind of tactics almost all the time.
I use cosmetic to get an good looking ship not so that some random humans can say if im bad or good
Whenever I watch these kinds of videos I always see if they include one of the most unpredictable ships of all: mixed cosmetics. If they’re mixing cosmetics it’s very likely they’re not choosing what makes them look scariest, but rather just what they enjoy, which means there’s no telling what their skill-level is
How dare you forget about the Obsidian Ship!
I feel that anyone who has the whole ship set even the capstan are people who has the dedication to the game and will most likely be dedicated to sink you, especially if they have the entire Blackdog set which is no easy feat to collect and will certainly give you a challenge
In my experience they usually suck. Or somewhat good but they're never much of a sweat.
It's a cool set, and rare, but it doesn't mean anything other than for the most part you watched a live stream at the right time. I have most of it myself.
I got pretty much the whole set and I'm trash lol
U know u can still buy full Obsidian set from internet by twitch drop codes.
that is THE MOST ever abused shipset in terms of twitch drops and usually considered "the best" by newbies so they eager to get it. Thats why it doesnt say anything usually, can be totally noobs on obsidian. But if you see triumphant sea dog figurehead - run for your life, cause in 10 out of 10 cases there will be a really good players.
I prefer to run around with the Party Boat set because of how silly it is. With how easy it is to get some of the pieces, I can honestly say that I haven't seen any other ship using any parts of it.
Me and my friends use it on our brigantine sometimes. Not very often, but sometimes :)
I use the wild rose, I have more than enough for other ships, but I just think think it looks the best
Same, I just love the set and especially now that I'm playing the captaincy update seeing the Wild Rose set as an option makes me want to use the set more than i already used to. On top of all of this but I'd say seeing someone with the Wild Rose set is quite rare. Side note: I used this set when the black market still existed and never dropped it.
@@notworkingendlessequinox7938 I always run wild rose, most people see me as either a easy target or peaceful and just don't care about me. I'll admit I'm not good at solo PVP, but on a brig or galleon, I'm always on the guns hitting almost every shot. I just don't like fighting people solo, and will usually portal hop, or invite a couple friends to get revenge, lol.
I love my emporium set, and I’m pretty decent with PVP haha. I figured if I’m spending hundreds of hours playing, I might as well do it on a ship I love
Which one did you get?
Personally I run the cursed Ferryman set from the emporium. For me it's the worn look that looks cool. It's like a different flavor of the default
Same lol, I'm a Lodestar boi. Full on ship set, player costume, and cat, which I appropriately named Cosmo.
@@indidude5795
yeah, sot forgot they are pirate game, tired of that flowers and festivals in the design. Check the shipsets 3-4 years ago - they are pirate like
SoulFlame full set here! My ship, me and my crew only use full soulflame set for characters, weapons and ships!
I would add that even those nooby ships aren’t a 100% sink. Some good players will use those cosmetics to try to put others into a false sense of security, or just because they look cool. I’d say it’s a low change but even 1% is still a chance.
I’d also put the Rare Crew sails at the 50/50. While incredibly rare (pun intended) they aren’t always super sweaty. Some can just be chilling and others will want you ship at the bottom of the ocean. A full Sapphire Blade ship set will definitely be dangerous whenever that comes to fruition.
Fantastic video as always! I’m super excited for Captaincy and can’t wait to see everyone’s ship combos!
User of the ghost captains sails here- I have only seen three other people in game with them. Not only do we know how to hit our marks, we are godly multitaskers and can get out of the stickiest situations. I have skills like no other when it comes to saving sinking sloops. We also have time. There’s never a rush.
You don't know what fear is if you haven't met a brig of merchants who try to deliver their chickens to the outpost... you fire one cannon and all hell breaks loose.
I use the ceremonial admiral hull with white sails because it kind of resembles the interceptor from pirates of the Caribbean curse of the black pearl
I have a strange case on my ship where I dont follow one theme, and just put cosmetics on that I want to fit my color preferences.
I was wondering whether year one Pirate Legend sails were going to make the list. Pirate Legend used to mean something at first but after month 10 when forts were introduced, the grind became so much easier. I have had two random people recognize my sails just this year for what they were (I didn’t think anyone would know or even care at this point but it felt good to get the recognition).
Yeah, I never use mine anymore just because I felt like what's the point Lol. The only thing I ever use from that set is the figurehead but I much prefer the Athena 10 figurehead.
I never touched Arena once when it was up. I only got to rank 5 with it because of pity rep Rare gave all factions when there was a bug with players leveling up. Honestly kinda funny but hey, I got some neat ship sets from it in the end.
As someone who's been playing for a VERY VERY long time
Sea of champion and notorious arena still strikes fear into me more then a average person who always plays reaper
i think one time my crew and i were going on a rampage through our server and we ran into a person with the NAL sails and we fought for so long and i think we ran through 5 stacks of each cannon balls and planks but in the end we had to book it. my crew was running a bring and the NAL was a sloop it was one hell of a fight and unfortunately we technically lost
we said our ggs and booked it
The Viva Pinata set strikes absolute *fear* into my heart.
I tend to use ocean crawler stuff, and I’m pretty likely to just try to avoid other players, especially if I’m sailing alone.
I run a captained sloop named " The Mad Minnow " I always use the killer whale set because it's thematic. Also I want to show off that I fully finished the hunters call ( my buddies and I grinded when it first came out and got it in about a week ) I don't see many people running the killer whale set so it's hard to figure out how sweaty they are
Respect
Generally sail The Killer Whale or DA; normally we are chasing commendations but aren't afraid of a fight. When we feel "done" with our objective we usually go on a sinking spree until we are ready to quit and then donate resources/loot
I use default because I just can't be assed anymore to go put on each cosmetic every time I set sail and I avoid everyone like the plague anyways
same and i will actually give away loot 90% of the time if the person doesnt shoot at me first
ignoring that this is a 15 minute old comment and a 31 minute old reply(at least thats what it says for me)
we are gonna have ship loadouts, so we dont have to suffer every time we set sail
@@Sawdust_ Yeah, I heard about that, in which case I generally use the one bilge rat set (i think) whichever one has the tankard on the sails, that's just my way of saying i'm not looking for a fight though once i get the Golden Gatherer sails... cause i want a pig on my sail damnit. :P
@@nikolai1326 neat, if i see a ship with tankard sails or the golden gatherer sails ill try to remember not to attack it
Interesting, me and my buddy usually sail with the Magpie's Fortune sails, but I'd say we're relatively good. Most of the crews that attack us seem to be underestimating us, that would explain why.
Oh, but we ALWAYS rock the pride flag even tho we're mostly passive (we've actually been attacked several times because of it, lol)
If I see a not too often bought pirate emporium ship, it's either a tough as nails crew who might even be bit rp heavy or a super casual crew who will either want to alliance or defend themselves depending on what you do.
I wear the reaper pajamas, there’s just something I love about them. it doesn’t really give off the kinda of threatening and evil energy it tries too but to me it feels like it has a kind of lighthearted and fun vibe. Plus I always like to take screenshots of my wearing it while sitting in cool places of doing cool poses in cool spots.
i still use the season 2 sails just because i think they're pretty :(
i made an entire ship set based around them, and they've been the only constant.
8:30 This is unfortunately incorrect. While Rare did say that anyone who got arena level 50 before they announced its closure would be the ONLY people eligible to receive The GoodBoy shipset, when the time came to release the cosmetics, they messed up and almost no one ended up actually having it in their shipwright. Rare made an announcement about this in their discord and said that they were going to fix it (they didn't) For whatever reason they couldn't figure out how to give away The GoodBoy ship sets to the correct people, so they instead made it where if you hit LEVEL 50 in arena (even if you got level 50 1 day before arena closed) then you would get the set. As long as it says SEADOGS 50 in your achievement tab in game, you will have The GoodBoy shipset.
Rare told everyone that ONLY people who were Arena Level 50 before January 20th would be able to receive The GoodBoy shipset. Then they messed up and they went back on their word and gave ANYONE who was level 50 in arena, REGARDLESS of when they got level 50, The GoodBoy shipset. Truly unfortunate.
I know this because me, my buddies, and plenty of other people getting their alt lsd/tsd before arena closed, most of us only got Level 50 arena on our alts a couple weeks before they removed arena for good (well after the January 20th date that Rare established) And we all got The GoodBoy on our alts even though we didn't get level 50 before January 20th.
I got it and I was level 50 before. My friend didn't, and he got level 50 after.
Definitely not everyone got it.
@@Tee_B I wonder the deciding factor is then. Because I have talked to hundreds of people who got arena level 50 WAY after the promised date of January 20th, and they all got The GoodBoy shipset. I thought everybody got it because everyone who I've talked to has gotten it.
@@kaijoi8938 You seem to have the opposite experience of me. I've talked to maybe 20 people who got Sea Dogs 50 after the date, and only 1 of them got it, the guy in question having got it SD 50 day late.
As someone who plays since march of 2018, i can confirm. A skinless sloop is the most frightening thing you can encounter within the sea of thieves. Same goes for the Pre year 2 Pirate legends.
Just for reference. Pirate legend took me about 2 years to get before emissaries where a thing. Now this is possible within a week if you stick to the grind.
That’s why if you’re quick with your fingers - quickly check recent player list and check how many trophies they’ve unlocked
Overall how I depict if I should play serious or casual
GSD and TSD shipsets in our experience were sweat-lords who want to board you at all costs and never leave you alone. Sure they are a mean bunch up close but they are so obssessed with boarding their naval sucks ass and with a few smart plays we can sink them before they have the chance, better stock up on supplies tho, because they are NOT leaving you alone after yopu sink them once.
That said, during the first community day I remember me and my crew leveling up a Reaper 5 galleon and utterly dominating the server... until a Wandering Reaper showed up. I immediately called trouble and we did our best, we got them in a surprise attack that would have probably made us sink them, but we made some mistakes during the fight (and that was a fight one could NOT afford to make mistakes) and ended up sinking. Too bad they left the server right after, best fight we had and we would love to challenge them again.
My crew and I use different sets and mixes of sets depending on what we want to look like, or what we are doing.
If we're grinding a specific faction, we'll often equip the full set for said faction. Otherwise, we'll usually run a mixture of whatever to create a look we like. Some parts will showcase our dedication and time spent on the game, others will be just cause they look cool. This includes Emporium stuff. We don't think much of it, other than our ship looking good to us. If we can be proud to sail on our fine vessel, to the sea of the damned with what anyone else thinks! :P
So look out for Captain Krakenbagger and any of his fine vessels: "The Devil's Warden", "Reaper's Revenge" or "Gilded Fateweaver"!
careful when you see "I SEEK YOU", "TROUBLES" or tiny "TERRORIST" xDD
Come fight my wild rose ship, I dare you
My ship is a mishmash of the Tribute Peak set, the Fearless Bone Crusher set and the Venomous Kraken set. In case you can’t tell, I like green.
I mean, if you are going after new players when you are experienced, it only makes sense that you will have an easy time. But there is nothing to stop an experienced player from using the very first cosmetics they got in the game, and still smoking your ass the moment you let your guard down
Waiting for my beauuuuuuuuutiful lord guardian sails, I'm not that sweaty just as much to say hello or help lol. Not the same case if im wearing my bonecrusher or triumphant sets though...
Anyone else finding these last few weeks insane for sot servers literally every server I go on is like a huge naval battle
We had that last time we played
I've never been more excited to be sunk in my life. Never knew there was so much history with SoT
Oh my 2 main ships (wandering reaper and golden legend) are cause for concern? you're damn right.
A RELATIONSHIP LMAO
I took on my own old alliance, 3 of the last 5 ships displayed in the video in fact. They might have had more of them, but it was my own old alliance team. I left my girlfriend, and stopped getting invited. Several of their team kept me on friends. But given they kept me on, the hunt was on. I went in and started watching for confirmation, their standard is all reaper. they averaged 5 ships a server. I was determined to fill the final slot. So I waited for their server hopping to start, and went in solo. I knew things they did not. I knew I was on the right server, I saw it. I saw them meet up. I watched, I tucked, and glory happened. nobody noticed me. I was under the athena kegs in crows nest. So they always did fort of the damned. I waited, and I waited for them to finish all 5 g5 Athena's. to get their stacks started, waited for the propper moment. knowing their mob had something like 100 chests of legends between all the crews. So I kept tucked and waited. And when they finished the last skull, I blew them all up with an athena, we all went to grave together and I watched them all say "gg" as they rage quit as they saw my name. I did not get everything, there was so much. Too much to save. but I got a grand total of 112 chests of legends, and all of them to rage out at my ability to peave them out. They had no clue I was playing. And to tuck a full day on their ship, for 7 hours, and watch her with her new boyfriend, was amazing. He is so useless. They sent him to protect the ship the ship and I got him to believe the ship was haunted. I made sure only he was looking when I vanished. for the others. really messed with him. For like 7 hours
I'll file this under "things that didn't happen"
@@T_Moneyzz I would file this under “things that kids get away with against other kids cause kids are stupid”.
I always keep an eye out for the full Killer Whale set, because those pirates did the hardest grind there is and know what patience is
Triumphant Sea Dog Figurehead - tha hardest ever thing to have in that game
I would say that the killer whale ship set is actually pretty scary, cause it’s a 50/50 if they just run away or turn you into mince meat. These players have gone through the trouble of maxing out hunters call, which means they are actually insane, they either run in fear or have killed so many people who have tried to take their fish, and god help you if you piss them off while they were fishing at a shipwreck in a storm. Believe me you do not know true rage until you deprive a fisherman of “that one fish”.
I got Killer Whale set relatively early in my game, because I'm insane in that I actually enjoyed the grind, so I'm mostly harmless.
However, on the Hunter's Call Discord server, I met some of the most amazing players, who do fit your description. Like, I was on a gally with an arena veteran (we wanted a few more fish, others from the crew signed out already at that point), and some brig started shooting at us. Using the in-game text commands, the absolute madlad told me to just bail & fix, and on his own, with a gally, sunk the hell out of that brig, and then calmly returned to fishing as if nothing had happened. My idol.
You forgot to mention the most dangerous of all. If you see it you should server hop right away. This is of course the hunter's call set. Only true legends will grind this faction out.
i've got full killer whale, but i feel like it doesn't set the same fear as year 1 legend or wandering reaper. don't think most will realize the whale is serious business.
Hunters call is the lowest leveling track of all the factions and it requires no PvP to obtain. Most people don't have it because they don't care to fish. Having it does not by itself cause me concern. I do have it, but prefer the similar but different Silent Barnacle.
@@pigxstix I was mostly making a joke. But despite being the lowest cap of levelling I would argue it takes the longest since fishing takes a lot of time and the only real good way to level it up casually is mermaid gems. I wish it had some sort of voyage like meg or kraken hunting
@@HonestGhost21 Missed the joke, but taking the longest doesn't really mean much in terms of seeing that sail on the seas. Most the assessment of this video is what kind of player, and specially what kind of PvP behavior to expect from these different sails and to me the Hunter's Call is at the bottom.
Distant chuckling (:
Attributing mild competency to every ship listed really cancels out about half this list.
???
Elaborate
@@cagliari5984 The point kinda speaks for itself.
You could skip half the video and get a more accurate roundup for what the video is trying to convey. The first half is generally attainable with little effort and speaks little towards a players competency and their age on the seas. Usually the two factors that go hand in hand.
@@Xarelpal Read the title of the video and connect that we strictly assume judging a book by its cover is in play.
@@Xarelpal Nobody is debating that or stated that in this thread in the first place.
You described me 100% within the first minute
I mean what...
Just liked the look of it and the talltale
Never realized how easy it was to get
omg the bone crusher set gives me so much happy memories, I used to have so many friends to do the event, now I don't talk to anyone but yeah, good times
You really can’t determine a ships skill set by their cosmetics
Indeed. Played since day one, only took a year break but i rock the black pearl look just because i like it. PoTC fan so having my "mini" black pearl makes me happy.
You absolutely can! If you sail a lot, you will see patterns.
@@AShinyRay I don't know. Every founder sails/BV I've played against has been meh. Only one that's put up a fight is Blurbs, and we've sunk him easily each time. Granted he was solo and there were two of us.
I feel like you should have included the full athena set because it shows the players that Weeks of grinding can get you a sick ship set
I would say golden sailor cannons are always sweaty because they are just the year one reskin of the default
It makes me so happy to see the barnacle sets being represented. I remember getting them in year one, loved the color of the wailing barnacle. Good memories
I have only seen Brave Vanguard sails once and to be honest they really were'nt that good, but I really hope I don't ever run into Sea of champions sails
The meanest mf’ers I’ve met out there has the silent barnacle set. They’ve been an absolute menace to me and my crew every time.
Ashen / forsaken / scorched are all heavily underrated and I see no reason to look down upon them.
Another interesting one I’ve seen quite often is newer players always running the sea dog sails. IDK why, but it’s more common than you think.
I remember doing that when I started. I saw them and thought “Huh. Those look pretty cool and they have a skull on them. I’m going to use them.”
Omfg that blurbs reference killed me
I got attacked by a full duke ship galleon while me and my friend were on a sloop. While he was off loading our vault treasure into a rowboat on other side of island i sunk them single handedly. Then proceded to get called everything they could think of. Love this game
Its clear and apparent, whoever uses the party boat is just god tier
i have golden legendary :D and i confirm i'm in love with the game and bought it day one.
i don't run them tho, the only hint i'll give to tell i'm a year one pirate legend is my golden legendary Plunderbuss
every black pearl I've ever fought has been crazy, I'm terrified of them, idk what it is about them
Lmfao the jab at Blurbs love it
No jab here, just a friendly reference
Doctor: Don't worry, fat Blurbs doesn't exist.
Fat Blurbs: 11:06
When you come across the "xbox sails" you know you're in for a treat.
Im really glad you added the NAL and SoC sails to this video man a lot of people forget or dont know about them.
if you ever need or want some new footage with either I would be happy to throw them on for u just hit me up
My first battle was against a wild rose, they sank me, so I later burned their ship in port.
5:49 hehehe your right! Atleast the sails are in a good spot, another TH-camr used those sails and called them “fort of the damned lover” and I WAS ANGRY
Golden Banana: you cannot run, you cannot hide, there is no such thing as safety from this one crew
There is one set from the Emporium that you should be wary of though, the Barrel Bombardier set. This set is generally used by crews that care nothing for loot and simply stockpile powder kegs simply for the kamikaze approach. If you see one of these ships, most likely it's going to be a Sloop as it's usually fast enough in most situations to close the gap between them and you very quickly, usually from the front or rear, where your cannons can't hit them, which is exactly what they want, as their ship is no more than a giant powder keg that they are willing to sacrifice just to sink you. If it gets close enough and explodes, your ship will incur way too much damage for you to deal with, especially if any of your crew got sent to the Ferry of the Damned by the explosion.
The best way to combat the Barrel Bombardier is to not engage them, as it does not matter how much loot is on their ship as they'd prefer to see it sink to the bottom of the ocean than see that "Loot Donated" message. If you leave them far enough alone, you will most likely be safe, though it's not guaranteed. If you are being chased by one of these ships, try to get a broadside angle on them as best as you can, as one good cannon shot will generally send them up in a big boom. A well placed sniper shot might work as well, but this is also not a guaranteed strategy since the arc on the shot can be difficult to place at longer range, and that's even if they have any barrels on deck for you to shoot, more often than not, the powder kegs are below deck to avoid this.
One last thing, if they have a rowboat, check to see which kind it is. It will almost never be a standard boat. If it's a Harpoon rowboat, then one crew member will be on it, ready to drop and pick up all your loot once you sink after the explosion. If it's a Cannon rowboat, watch out, as this rowboat is going to be used as the detonator for that powder keg that's sailing right up to you. They will also most likely be using Firebombs over standard shot, as once the initial explosion has you busy with repairs, they will bombard you with fire, creating even more problems for your ship to deal with. Occasionally they will use one of the Arcane shot (the purple ones), Ballast Balls specifically if you're on a Galleon to cause all those mid-deck holes caused by the explosion to also flood the ship.
Skipper: Rico!
Rico: Kaboom!?
Skipper: Kaboom!
yeah, these are very satisfying targets xDD
@@Orlington17 Indeed. It's a wonderful fireworks show to see them go boom, but be careful not to be too close. Unfortunately you wont get much loot from them though since they most likely don't have any due to the kamikaze approach.
One time I absolutely destroyed my hourglass stamp with the wild rose cosmetics
The only crew I’ve seen with brave vanguard was a salty galleon the me and my friend dumped on as a duo sloop. Quite a disappointing encounter tbh.
people get baited by my ripped up black pearl sails, only to see the DA hull + figurehead and silent barnacle wheel + cap lol. I like a good mix that show's multiple efforts, usually use magpie cannons with this set but there's a few that go well with it.
I've been farming the whole wild rose set cause I want to look like a dandy gipsy. Solo playing on my brig "The boiling hell". I love bonus points! 😂
You forgot to mention one sail. The golden hour sails. If sweats dont rock the NAL or SOC sails, the golden hour sails is their next pick.
Every encounter with these sails has always been a sweat infested battle.
Great video… I have many of these old sails and agree!
I rock the crimson omen set up that came out when the last gears came out around the time of the launch of the game. I love it because it confuses the hell out of everyone I come across.
It’s not that hard to get dark adventurer, when I got pirate legend I was already able to buy the sales immediately lol
The set should have been worth more gold, it's about as common as the free pl outfit now...
The wild rose set was such a huge call out lol, I just got back into the game after 5 years and it was the only set I had!!!!!
ok but those 2019 reaper sails are terrifying. i'd log out if I saw even a sloop wearing those coming after me xD
Damn. I just really like the Black Pearl's Figure head. Makes the ship look so grand.
I always get worried when I see ships made of multiple sets,frankenships if you will,cause 9 times outta ten they seem to be old school legends that only care about looking good and kicking ass while doing it.
I started this week, but I’ve bought my sloop and run the Hunter set on it because I like the maroon and black with white accents greatly.
Overacheiver sails. Those pirates never wanted to lose their loot. 🤣
That blurbs joke about had me dying 😂
You’re really getting my big sot regrets to resurface in my brain with this
"Please let me know what ships you fear"
Me: All of them..
If I see a default sloop full speed ahead trying to attack, it's an easy kill, but the second they use chains or raise sails, that probably means they're food and are hiding ot
I usually roll with a mix of silent barnacle, ghost captain sails, and the bone crusher figurehead. I think you nailed where those should be in the tier list lol.
This video was great dude. Never thought I'd see you cosplay as Blurbs bahaha
I am amazed you managed to get that many barnacle chests
@@nicholashageman8200 Honestly we acquired most of them via PVP lol! That and playing since year 1 when there were simply fewer loot items in the game overall.
TBH it wasn't until this year that my crew and I realized that selling barnacled chests to the Reapers didn't count towards this commendation...that realization stung a bit 🤣
Am I the only one who uses parts of wild roze (namely the figurehead and interactable parts aside from the sails) because I think they look good? Cannons in particular not only look good but also have a model that is basically the same as default cannons. Although, after unlocking the recollored variant, I mainly use it instead of the regular wild rose set.
Before I unlocked the Flameheart sails I always used the wild rose sails, I still sometimes use the hull. I love most pieces of the set for their beautiful colors and simple, but elegant designs. 🥺
I laughed out loud when you said foxdie 😂
GOLDEN LEGENDARY set is the only one I run these days. Stands out like a sore thumb but since I reset my character it's the only set I've got that shows how long I've been playing
Damn you're totally right about Wild Rose, it was the first set I got for that exact reason, and the fact that it was a unique currency actually tricked me into thinking I jumped tiers straight to a good one. But it just looks really nice and is cheap. Now though I have almost 150 hours and still am rocking wild rose on my sloop (because it costs money to pin the new cosmetics on) and I wouldn't say I'm an easy sink unless I'm solo slooping ;)
I’m a decent player and one game I saw a galleon with the black pearl set I got destroyed most organized crew ever I was so surprised
I fear the shipsets that Have unique sets combined. TSD cannons, With Reaper Wheel? And maybe an item shop hull? Scary to me
Everyday I beat myself up because I completed the reaper runs and have the titles, but didn’t buy the sails and hulls because I didn’t like non-complete sets, not realizing how rare and popular they were gonna become. At least I have the hungry figurehead, and complete forsaken ashes and bone crusher stuff
This one of the first sea of thieves videos I've watched and I am glad I'm now aware that my mainly wild rose ship and jacket is not as cool as I thought it was
