Now, this won’t be an easy feat.
Know the Lay of the Lan… Water
The open world inSkulls and Bonesis filled with plenty of resources.
The map reveals essential locations, such as resources.
Ideally, crafting forms a core part of the gameplay.
You would want to know where to locate the materials for easy retrieval.
To track resources, simply press the fourth tab titled Knowledge.'
Once you’ve settled on what item to track, select it and press the spacebar.
This action will reveal their locations on the map.
Besides tracking resources, you’re able to also keep tabs on your quests.
you’re free to still get back on track.
Pressing G' while viewing the map opens up the quest log.
This gives you an idea of the remaining objectives and locations.
Exploring the map reveals the murky and rocky areas you should avoid.
Fortunately, the game offers a fast-travel feature.
To access it, you first need to make your way to the Sainte-Anne outpost.
Once there, you’ll need to explore the pirate hub to unlock additional outposts.
Doing so will mark the area as a fast-travel location.
Notably, you’ve got the option to only fast-travel to areas you’ve been to before.
So, if you want to revisit a location, ensure you disembark at its docking points.
While fast travel certainly makes things easier, it does cost some silver.
So, before you hit that button, it’s crucial that you weigh your options.
Is it worth sparing some silver, or should you just hit the open sea instead?
Therefore, every chance you get, buddy, collect all your materials.
At the game’s inception, you’ll visit a wreckage in Exeter.
The place holds plenty of flawed material, including nails, planks and metal salvage.
While they may look like a bunch of crap, they are more valuable than you think.
Take the metal salvage, for instance.
Unlike other materials, these are useful even later in the game.
Crafting this material using Cannonball Crates gives you 100 cannonballs.
Besides this, you’ll need a certain amount of material for your weapons and ships.
Your best bet is salvaging every material as you go.
InSkull and Bones,your crew will occasionally throw hints at directions.
It indeed points to the linearity of the game.
But hearing what your mates are saying is difficult when you’re deep in battle plundering other ships.
Besides directions, your crew will hint at upgrades and outpoststhings you certainly don’t want to miss.
So, how do you do it?
Just turn on the My Ship subtitles.
Head on to the configs page, select Language, then Subtitle configs.
Here, you’ll see the my ship tag.
Once you switch it on, click confirm, and you’re all set.
A heavily loaded ship moves slower, making it an easy target for enemies.
Your best bet is striking the excess material in your warehouse.
Since your crew has a stamina bar, it’s best to constantly stock up on cooked food.
Other essential items include cannonballs for your expedition and repair kits in case your ship sustains damage.
It’s advisable to only carry material you plan to sell.
But items such as crafting and flawed material should be safely tucked in your warehouse.
