There is a whole lot to know about sailing, plundering, and fighting other pirates in Sea of Thieves. Our tips will make you the best privateer on the ocean.

Cooperative piracy simulator Sea of Thieves is a game that drops players right off the plank and into the deep end of the ocean as soon as they start it up. You’re left to figure out how to do almost everything alone or with a crew of friends. All of it is picked up through experience as you play, which is part of what makes Sea of Thieves interesting. There are tons of little nuances and best practices, however, that you need to become an effective pirate.

Follow your compass A huge aspect of Sea of Thieves is solving riddles and puzzles. In true pirate fashion, many of these ask you to take “X paces” in one direction or another. Counting your steps isn’t so easy in a game, but if you hold up your compass while walking you can get a much clearer signal for every pace your character takes.

Beware random events Sailing around is already a dangerous time due to other players, but the game itself can turn on you at a moment’s notice. There are storms to be weary of, sure, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg waiting to sink your plans. World Events include stumbling upon Skeleton Forts and Fort of Fortune locations with tough enemies and bosses, as well as Skeleton and Ghost Fleets that will engage you in naval combat.

Don’t start Tall Tales until you have time set aside Tall Tales are longer quests in Thieves that help expand the story of the world and set a crew off to explore a famous legend of some kind. You can generally find them by talking to unique characters you may meet at various outposts. The more stuff you have, the more vulnerable you are While it can be tempting to hit multiple islands and pick up a ton of treasure, especially as you progress through the game and voyages get more complex, resist the urge to pick up a whole bunch of stuff before turning it in. The more stuff you have on your ship, the harder it will be when you lose it — and you will definitely lose stuff from time to time, due to mishaps like storms or attacks from other players.
