I've been boating around Skull and Bones for about thirty hours now, but I probably could have achieved the same amount in twenty if I'd been smarter. Skull and Bones isn't an especially challenging game but it demands a lot of time, and the grind can wear if you're the kind of player who wants to get really big really fast. I'm working on a review at present, but Tyler had these thoughts about the open beta last week.
I'm not going to make it any less of a grind for you, but hopefully these pointers will help you avoid some early game annoyances, and some points of vagueness that led me slightly astray. No spoilers, and lots of rusty nails.
