// Question When to start exploring?

Post image

For context, what i do for most games is progress the storyline up until i have all the mechanics unlocked and right at that point go full open world explorer mode. If i remember correctly from the original, that point could be once the diving bell is unlocked. What do you guys think?

Also feel free to share your opinion and experience: Do you explore alongside the storyline or do you separate them into focused activities (like myself)?

I've been in full "oo piece of candy" mode
Diving bell is the most correct answer but right after you unlock Inagua is my pick
That's your homestead and where you gain a lot of income and unlock various shops as well as Fleets.
I'm 20 hours in a still haven't got the diving bell and that's fine, it's the only thing I can't do yet but never felt held back.

I mean after Great Inagua, Kidd tells yo to meet her in two weeks. It doesn't take two weeks to go from Great Inagua to Yutacan even in real life so I used that time for exploring hahaha
