6. Prepare for Raids
Sometimes, you can’t avoid being raided, so it’s best to prepare for these inevitable encounters:
Know Your Ship’s Weaknesses: Familiarize yourself with your ship’s weaknesses and improve those areas. If your sails are weak, make sure they’re reinforced; if your rudder is vulnerable, upgrade it for better control during evasive maneuvers.
Cannon and Gunpowder: Equip your ship with heavy cannons or Skull and Bones Items mortars that deal devastating damage. Keep an eye on your ammo supply and stock up on gunpowder and special shots that can damage enemy ships.
Upgrade Your Cargo Hold: A larger cargo hold means more supplies and resources to fight or repair with during a raid. Make sure your hold is stocked with enough resources to repair your ship, fuel your cannons, and keep your crew working efficiently.
7. Use Diplomacy
In certain situations, diplomacy or forming temporary alliances can help you avoid hostile encounters:
Factions and Alliances: Form alliances with other factions or players that can help you defend against piracy or Skull and Bones Items for sale raid larger pirate fleets. Having friendly ships around can deter enemies from attacking you.
Bribery and Negotiation: In some cases, pirates might be deterred by a quick bribe or offer. If you’re in a difficult situation, try offering resources or loot to avoid a fight.
