In Skull and Bones, Sovereigns are a rare endgame currency used to purchase exclusive items. Here’s how to acquire them:
1. Reach Kingpin Infamy and Complete "A Nose for Business" Contract:
You can only earn Sovereigns after reaching the Kingpin Infamy rank. This unlocks access to the Helm, a central hub for managing your pirate empire.
Once at Kingpin Infamy, complete the "A Nose for Business" contract offered by Yanita Nara at Le Pont Muet in Saint-Anne. This unlocks the Helm Empire overview screen and the Leaderboards tab.
2. Climb the Weekly and Seasonal Leaderboards:
Sovereigns are awarded for reaching specific milestones on the Weekly and Seasonal Leaderboards. These leaderboards track your progress based on the amount of Pieces of Eight you earn.
Earning 1,200 Pieces of Eight elevates you on the Weekly Leaderboard and grants 20 Sovereigns.
Reaching 10,000 Pieces of Eight on the Seasonal Leaderboard rewards you with 350 Sovereigns.
Higher ranks on the leaderboards offer even greater Sovereign rewards.
Remember:
Spending Pieces of Eight does not affect your progress towards Sovereign milestones.
You can track your progress and current rank on the Leaderboards by visiting the Helm Empire Overview at the Smuggler’s Hideout.
Additional Tips:
Focus on completing Helm contracts and deliveries: These activities significantly contribute to earning Pieces of Eight and climbing the leaderboards.
Optimize your ship and crew: Having a strong ship and skilled crew allows you to tackle more challenging missions, ultimately leading to higher Piece of Eight gains.
Strategize your approach: Consider the difficulty and reward of different missions to maximize your Piece of Eight income.
By consistently playing and strategically managing your resources, you can gradually acquire Sovereigns and unlock exclusive items in Skull and Bones.
