Skull and Bones: A Pirate's Deal Quest Guide

The A Pirate's Deal quest in Skull and Bones is an early mission that tasks you with retrieving contraband for the Pirate Chief Officer. Completing this quest will bring you one step closer to Sainte-Anne and give you important resources for future adventures. Here's a step-by-step guide, including a key tip for managing your resources to get the Blaster Sloop.

Step 1: Accepting the Quest

After speaking with the Pirate Chief Officer, he will assign you the task of collecting contraband that belongs to Scurlock.

Your objectives will be to collect:

6 Explosive Firearms

6 Opulent Rum

These Skull and Bones items are scattered across the sea, so you'll need to sail and search for them.

Step 2: Locating the Contraband

Follow the mission marker to the designated area on your map.

Keep in mind, that the mission marker only points to the general location of the contraband.

You'll need to sail around and look for floating boxes in the water near small wreckage or debris.

Important Tip: You cannot land on the small islands, so make sure to stay on your ship and look for the floating loot.

Step 3: Collecting the Contraband

Sail up next to the floating boxes to interact and collect them.

The boxes will provide the Explosive Firearms and Opulent Rum you need. Usually, it only takes a few boxes to gather everything.

Be Cautious of Sharks: In this area, sharks might patrol the waters. Avoid engaging with them, as they can deal significant damage to your boat.

Step 4: Completing the Quest

Once you've collected all 6 of both Skull and Bones items, return to the Pirate Chief Officer to complete the quest.

Save Your Silver: Preparing for the Blaster Sloop Upgrade

As you complete quests and progress in Skull and Bones, make sure to accumulate Skull and Bones Silver along the way. One of the most valuable ship upgrades is the Blaster Sloop, available once you reach level 4 (Buccaneer).

Why the Blaster Sloop is Important: It offers a substantial boost to your naval power, making your battles easier and giving you an edge as you progress through tougher missions.

How to Save Silver: Avoid unnecessary expenditures and prioritize quests that reward large amounts of Skull and Bones Silver. This way, you'll be ready to purchase the Blaster Sloop when you hit level 4.

By following this strategy, you'll have a strong ship ready when you need it, setting you up for success in future missions.
