Spending any extended amount of time at sea is always going to be a hard-living, and inSkull and Bones, that has gameplay consequences. The more stamina a crew expends, the less likely they will be able to sustain high speeds and explore effectively. This can become an issue when trying to chase down ships or trying to make an escape, even more so when the wind is not in your favor.
Therefore, it is vital for all ship captains to understand just how the mechanics of stamina works in the game. Doing so will allow you to work more effectively with your crew and make it easier to sail the high seas and get to where you need to be without a fuss. This guide will show you just how to increase and restore the crew’s stamina inSkull and Bones.
Crew Stamina in Skull and Bones
Stamina is usedwhenever players raise thesails to the maximum level, and depending on the ship you are currently on, there are several levels to climb. Look at the meter at the bottom right of the screen. If the sails are raised to the top and themeter is green, this means that the sails are trimmed to the max and will provide themost speed while sailing at the cost of the crew’s stamina.
If all of their stamina is used up, captains will no longer be able totravel at the top speeduntil they recover. So always keep that in mind while out at sea.
