How to Level up your Merchant (NEW Update) | Sea of Thieves

"Commodities. If you HATE yourself, do them on the side." Yes, I'm a Merchant, so by default I really do hate myself. Not as much as Hunter's Call grinders though. Fantastic video!

My merchant lady has a bug where I can’t pick up my purchased supplies, any way to fix it Phuzzy?

Hey just a heads up. I’ve run two from morrows peak to plunder outpost, and both times the ship glitched out and wasn’t there. Only the manifest was floating in the water. I can’t guarantee it will happen so you should prolly just go with it anyway since you can’t dive again right after surfacing

Which porno did you lift the soundtrack at the end from? Asking for a friend

Thank you Phuzzy for your hard work and dedication. I'm sure Rare look at this and buff the progression which I hope doesn't happen. I don't thing we need the game to be easier. Plus with the video of the #1 lost shipment route. It's always been a favorite of mine.

Cargo stacking is better….

I love youre tips puzzy bond i am grinding merchant so thanks for the tip

Gave it a try but totally forgot to grab the crates from the merchant at first. So didn't get grade 5 after my lost shipment run. Came back to outpost for it but needed only 2 out of 4 crates to reach my level 5.
So If you are short on money, just get the 2 cheapest crates, you will reach level 5 emissary.

So, I stopped doing lost shipments when they first came out because 70% of the time, the key straight up doesn’t spawn. I did three of them today and on two of them the key didn’t spawn, and on the third the shipwreck (exactly where it should be, as predicted by Phuzzy) was a regular shipwreck and not my lost shipment wreck with no other birds or wrecks anywhere along the path, so the key that DID spawn couldn’t be used. This has been an issue for years now and the sole reason I quit doing these voyages.

Glad to see that hasn’t changed. 🙄

(For the record, imo, you’re far better off just doing raids and skipping this tedious bugged nonsense. Raids are WAY more fun and consistently spawn in the loot it’s supposed to have)

Science!

we are In the End times also Jesus is the only way! Jesus is coming / rapture soon!

Jacobs troubles ( 7 year tribulation / hell on earth ) is coming ( Israel formally declares war against Hamas / But now Israel is Surrounded on 7 Fronts... ) If we Christians disappear soon, Your know the Lord has taken us Home! Now we need prayed for the Jews and to get many people saved as possible...

Romans 10:9-13
King James Version
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Q
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 2:38-39
King James Version
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Nice video but I think your underestimating solo players I did a fleet and completed it in 9 minutes and sold everything in 14 minutes and got a level and some change from it

So how do you do the black powder merchant commendation now since the qeusts that used to be able to contain reqeusts for them dont anymore (and animal qeusts have become even worse then they already were in general)

I'm disappointed the ashen shipment voyages still dont give ashen merchant loot

Shipwrecks that don’t bug give you level 5

Help me! How to complete the commendation "Seeker of the Sea" :(( It's so hard

Love this. Although it is kinda lame that it’s still a grind. And I’m over here at level 80 guardians of fortune thinkin this was EASY ;-;

There's a faster method, keep searching!

Really excited to see whats coming i just really recieved the blessing of athenas fortune and am stepping back into the PVE in the game.I really appreciate all that you do to help us with our grinds.

I did ashen lord and got nothing but the skull ??

I did a merchant skeleton fleet solo today and it was one sloop, and then the boss galleon. Now I swear that gally was tougher than usual but it was still only two ships. And all they drop is a couple tea crates, the diamonds, and the scroll so its a quick and easy collect too.

We did the same and the ashen winds loot gives us a half lvl.. so its not worth it.. do a regular fort voyage instead :)

commodities "if you hate yourself"...dead lol

Unfortunately, as far as I've seen, the crates of diamonds don't count for the treasure fit for a king. I turned it in and it didn't raise my commendation status

The fastest way to level Merchant is Still FOTD stacks if you have a crew that can keep all the stronghold barrels.

It is so much faster than any of this honestly. But it’s harder and requires a really good crew.

Dont skele Forts give a whole level and barely take over 10 minutes?

The last merchant level for pirate legend I did in season 11 was like 1.5 level and was it like 100k in 15 minutes with the vault. Got lucky with the captains vault and got a location like right next to where I was when I started. The first piece of map had the cross on an island where the vault was. Took the chest straight to vault on foot. Also with the season 11, if you don't want to do the missing cargo. Just chaining small island treasure voyages gets emissary 5 in under 30 mins. Since you no longer have to go to outpost to get voyages you can just keep doing it. Also get an ashen skelly like every 3rd island you visit.

I sail Solo, So I just use an Ammo crate. Can sit in the water and just shoot him or her!

Since when did levels to above 50?

I'm sure you've heard it before....but glad you're safe.

That Hull is awesome Phuzzy, what one is that?

so i know this comment is unrelated with the video but Scroll of Uncharted Waters ? diving mechanics , new cosmetic art style (i know there's a new team working on them but still) , i am starting to believe that there is a map expansion coming

1st attempt: Supplies wouldn’t spawn in
2nd attempt: Thought I got lucky with supplies already on the outpost, but dived onto a reaper 5
3rd attempt : Storm and no captain key, but was able to get the manifest
4th : Completed in full, but only made a quarter of a level

Great vid but with my luck im sticking to other ways get the level up😂

all these updates but they basically said screw animals? they could have just lazily added new color chickens but basically everyone hated animals... and everyone hates cargo too but they doubled down on cargo trying to make people want to do it more. and the emissary quest now gives the amazing cargo so

whats that ship hull

OMG I didn't play SoT for quite a long time now and this video make me realize that the harpoon put crates directly on the boat now !! Best improvement ever !! I can go back to the game just for that ^^

Good to know that the Merchant Emissary is still just Cargo Runs. I'm guessing it's the new Cargo Loot, but it's still a Cargo Run.
Honestly a shame how neglecter Merchant seems to be loot wise, but oh well

anyone know what ship haul he is using? is it goodboy or insider?

Mmh i'm farming merchant, and i'm doing only skelly event or ghost ship event, that give 1 level and half , for skelly, and 2 level and half , for ghost ships, after each event, this is much more xp and faster then doing ashen shipment , ofc is not easy for everybody to do this on solo sloop but there is some tips for beginners

Can you do gold hoarders next? Specifically the most efficient/fastest voyages to get to grade 5 as solo

Yeah i stick to burning blade raide it is way better

This update is nice and all, but the core gameplay loop is still incredibly tedious and boring in my opinion. I'm hoping that the future updates change this and add more variety to the game.

Any chance we can get the locations for both routes so it's easy to head straight to sunken ship?

Another difference between shipwrecks and barrels in the water is the amount of seagulls flying above. Lots of them for a wreck, a few for barrels.

Phuzzy looks really good in a hoodie!

Thanks Phuzzy mate. Merchants is the last one I need to become legendary. This has helped.

I tried a raid yesterday as gold hoarder and you only get about half value for diving on the raids. Its not worth doing the raids because the loot doesn't add to the kingly loot achievement. I would have rather had the loot stay the same for the raid. 17k for diving vs 34k for sailing to a sea fort means diving is not worth it unless you're in the Roar.

Do the fastest way to level Athena🎉
