Building the ultimate pirate ship in Skull and Bones Article

There are games that I enjoy, and there are games that I love. Then there are games that I obsess over. Once about every four or five years, I let myself fall into a sort of hypnotized love with a game, to the point where I think about it day and night. I play these games way too much, for way too long. I research online the best ways to optimize my time. I make spreadsheets.

But at this point, I feel like the ship I've put together is pretty top tier (at least until Skull and Bones drops its next season). I've spent a lot of time gathering the materials and currencies needed to get this far, and I thought I would share my current build as a way of celebrating my achievements so far in the game. Skull and Bones is definitely my most-played game of this young year, which is surprising given the game's reception and the long list of other prestigious bangers that have arrived in the first three months of 2024. But hey, you never know what is going to grab onto you and not let go, and for me this year, that's playing pirates.

So, without further delay, here's what I'm currently rocking in my current build:

Ship: Hullbreaker Brigantine

My first major project in Skull and Bones after the first getting-to-know-you period was to get the plans and materials to build a Brigantine. This ball-buster of a ship is
