Prior Knowledge: A loot run is when you try to fill your cargo space with Loot Skull Chests and Royal Chests. A perfect loot run would be 100% loot skull chests, but most people don't have the time, so they just fill up with Royal Chests and Loot Skulls if they happen to get any. DO NOT TAG OR GET TAGGED BY A HUNTER OR WARSHIP (having a War sloop makes this much easier to do).
Prerequisites:
First, you are going to want to head behind and to the left of Padres Del Fuego where you will want to go for the following ships: [E.I.T.C] Juggernaut, [E.I.T.C] Corsair, [Any Skeleton Ship lvl 29+], and [E.I.T.C] Barracuda. (Also make sure that you sink the Corsairs first because if they get close to you then they will do severe damage with their explosive broadsides.
Secondly, you are going to need to have a good driver because you are going to have to completely avoid the hunters and warships that will be following you, while also still going for the good loot ships I mentioned. By the way, I wouldn't recommend sinking alternative ships besides the ones I mentioned because they are less likely to drop loot skulls and more likely to drop ship materials.
Thirdly, you may come across some important decisions while your loot is filling up. For instance, you might get unlucky and get ship materials from the ships you are sinking, and you don't want it to take up your royal chest space. You can either wing it and keep trying for skulls, or just port (assuming you are full). Either choice is acceptable, so just base it off of how much time you are willing to spend.
Summary: Loot Skull chests drop more frequently from the ships that I mentioned under First, so try to only aim for those since ships are able to drop ship materials (which isn't what you want). Royal Chests are the next best thing to Loot Skull chests, and sometimes it is better to play it safe and port with Royal Chests rather than get materials.
Final Tip: If another player tries to sink your hunters and warships that are following you, run away from them (again, a fast war sloop is perfect for this). A good place to run would be Isla Tormenta, as it has good ships near it as well.
Prerequisites:
- Have any ship, but preferably a War Sloop.
- Make sure your crew isn't random players, because most people just want mat runs and will mess you up.
- Once your crew is made (fill an entire broadside), make sure public is disabled.
- Have a lot of time cleared before performing this run.
- Never hit or get hit by a warship or hunter, or else if someone else sinks it you will get the ship materials
- Try to remain in a relatively empty server so other ships don't mess up your run.
