Toes are the main currency of the game. If you get stuck on a stage, then go back to a stage that you have already beaten and play it again in order to earn more toes.

Toes can then later be used to buy mystery chests, which earn you anchors, and anchors can then be used for upgrades. There are several things you can do from the Fort.

Outfits have no effect on the pirates abilities, they are purely aesthetic. You can also access the training menu -- Collection — This allows you to browse your legendary pirates in a Catalogue style.

It simply shows which pirates you own, and which outfits you have for each pirate. You can also click on outfits to change into them from this window.

Additional notes on the Fort: You can swipe back and forth on the prison cells to view more pirates.

From island view, select your fort to make the Legendary Pirate icon appear on the left of your screen. Once this icon appears. This will highlight exactly what buildings are affected by the pirate.

If the pirates effect has a range to it. The range will be shown. Troops can walk on, and attack the stone part of the fort, but the dock area can be used to block troops, much like the ship and guild ship currently do.

While you can view the training menu while the pirate is resting, you cannot begin a training until the resting period is finished. As of now, you cannot access the fort while it is upgrading, unless you have been attacked.

This should be fixed soon. Trade Ship The trade ship does not stay at your fort forever. Upon building the fort, the trade ship will appear initially for 4 Days.

After this 4 days, the ship will return every weekend for 2 days. The Trade Ship is where you purchase new pirates, and outfits for the pirates.

The pirates and outfits are random. Initially everyone received Mack, and a random selection of 3 pirates. Following is the buttons and explanations for the Trade Ship UI: -- Legends Tab: Here you can view the two legendary Pirates offered this week, this selection is random, and based off of your fort level.

The recruiting cost is displayed at the bottom of each pirate. Game content and materials are trademarks and copyrights of their respective publisher and its licensors.

I'm happy I waited as all my Athena's play straight towards my commendations especially the Athena mileage one. Any ways here's an example: Gold Hoarders - you and your crew buy as many Gold Hoarders as you can and start dropping them.

You want at least two small we islands with chests per island. They have to be reasonably close. Once you get that then sail away! As soon as you got those chests done start dropping more voyages stop at outposts along the way to buy more and keep cycling.

On solo I've managed to get about 13 chests in 1. If you got a crew it'll go even faster. Stop at an outpost whenever you can but if you aren't near one then keep cycling through those voyages!

This really helps with OOS. As for merchant well The skullfort is your best bet. Hope this helps!

Jack-SmokeyBear The right way is the one you are going to enjoy the journey : Some enjoy to do their own voyages, some enjoy to do some forts and now some skelliships battles and some enjoy to steal the loot from other crews.

Those last levels can take more time but if you are doing some Bilge Rat Adventures and save some doubloons you can buy some letters of recommendation for each faction that will increase your levels : Everyone has a different story because there are so many ways to be a Pirate Legend.

Good luck matey! Biter Wylie Seafarer. All you need to know is that there are many of them, and that they're key in your quest to becoming a Pirate Legend.

Don't expect them to be of much help before you reach that everybody-at prerequisite - they'll just keep telling you to report back when you're a few levels higher.

You'll find a Mysterious Stranger lurking at the back of every tavern in every outpost in the Sea of Thieves you appear at a tavern whenever you log in.

They're the ones with the glowing eyes, you really can't miss them. Every Mysterious Stranger serves the same purpose - think of them as particularly cryptic faction reps - so don't worry about which one you talk to.
