Get a good group:

Rock salt stabilizers are worth 1-2 gold each and you get 10-15 of em per pack. Stealth to the resource trader if you have to.

if yiou're west, run marianople duck down to villanelle.

if you're east run some trade pack to two crowns, nobody camps it\

if you get chased drop boats on em(summon your rowboats or clippers in their path if they're chasing to slow them down)

if you get harpooned then stealth+ dive into the water until they leave

if you can craft an dive helmet, get that and go hunting near seabug patches are.(noobs die to them and lose packs). Or go diving where bloodstains are in deep water.

If you're looking to steal packs from the enemy faction, here's some tips:

-Have one player as a forward scout spamming stealth as a shadowplay, warning of oncoming ships

-Have the rest ready to glide onto the ship and steal

-Get the galleon for the radar, get 2 more clippers with eco fuel that cut them off with harpoons.
