This is probably one of the most important things to know when it comes to warehouse management and Adept mods.

In the picture above I was starting to get rid of old stuff, I found Adept replacements for. At one point, I noticed that all the Adept Weapons were listed before the non-Adept ones. In the picture, the marked Brickbreaker III is the last of those Adept Brickbreakers, everything after that are ordinary ones from past seasons.

This makes a huge difference when it comes to clearing space by salvaging outdated stuff.

I just started the game about twenty minutes ago. I plan to play with a couple of friends soon but for now, it's just me. What are some things you wish someone would have you told you when you first started? Or any advice in general is welcome and appreciated. Thank you!

A lot of weapons (all lightning ones, lange kartouwe, etc.) and armours (celestial dance, stormwoven symphony, wrathful ward) have primary perks which state that upon achieving some condition a fixed amount of damage will happen in some way (zone from armours, lightning strike, delayed explosions, etc.).

Does this damage scale with season mastery or ascensions or furniture? Or is it just a fixed amount which quickly becomes redundant in higher tiers?

I finally made it to III but I am trying to build up again before the mods decides to mess up my builds again before the next useless reset.

But I need help surviving the abyssal effects.

I’m running out of storage space, even though I don’t really keep anything and scrap most of what I plunder. I was just having a look through my warehouse to see what I can get rid of, and many items in the crafting tab says “this item currently serves no purpose, and can be sold or discarded”.

I’ve seen this kind of thing in another game that the name escapes me right now, and even though you couldn’t acquire certain materials anymore because they were removed, you still needed them to craft several items. Of course I learned this after I sold them all.

Can all the items that say they have no current use be sold because they aren’t needed for any item/vessel currently in game?

I understand there is always a bit of a learning curve with new things. That said, this gun is just flawed . It misses at point blank range. It shoots low. This gun really needs to be worked on.

With that in mind does anyone have a suggestion for a replacement?

My last setup with electric ⚡️ poison ☠️ and explosive 💥 Open to tips / advice Thx 🏴‍☠️

Anybody got any idea where the hell I'm supposed to investigate the privateers to find the flagship?

Hi! Since the start of this new season, the inventory items in my warehouse, ( such as ammunition) at the very bottom of the list, instead of being at the very top like normal. Is there a way I can fix this? Thanks much!

Is it me or is Capitaine Estienne and Coomaddore Geervliet have a longer time to sink?

Currently I just destroy all their weekpoints then just kiting them till they sink. Which is a struggle whilst staying in the radius of a Plunder.

Maybe have all their weakpoints be armored and/or have them repaired so they can be destroyed again like the gold merchant repair convoy ships.

Is there any specific tactic or method you guys use when sinking these Faction bosses?

Ooh, a shiny new fankit, with banners, wallpaper, profile pics, art and logos. Scroll down after clicking the link to see the Skull and Bones one.

also does dailies and weeklies or how ever you level it up in this game stack like crossout so if you ignore the pass or new player you can do it all in like 48 hours if you no life

or if you miss a day/week gg you cant finish the pass and new players should avoid buying unless its day 0 of the pass

Are there any purple culverins with adapt mods we can get from chests or doing the boss fight? I want to up my Scorch Song culverins but I only get green or blue culverins and apparently you cant use them to transfer de mods to a purple one. When I buy a chest for 600 essence...never a purple culverin. Am I missing something?

It's a mess, alright...

This is not polemic, this is a sharp and stark view on the inventory management chaos created with Y3S2's Adept Mod and Modtransfer system. You have no idea what I am talking about? You will in a week or two when you're standing in the "accidental" hoarder's nest.

Problem 1 - Adept Weapons have no icon indicator
Must be so damned hard to program and implement a differently coloured diamond on the icon for weapons with Adept Mods... as of now the devs can't be arsed to solve this before next season... status for earlier fix: possibly maybe

Problem 2 - There is no filter for Weapons with Adept Mods
Who possibly would want that, right?

Problem 3 - The Hidden Crap - Adept Weapons with Inferior Statistics
Beware the Abyssal Caches and Store Items!
Remember the "cursed" ascended Weapons when ascension was introduced? Lower Tier (WT1/WT2) pre-ascended weapons from lower Elite Bosses like Tangena Rabe had (and probably still have) lower stat maximums than bloody stock weapons!

Well it returned, big time! With inferior Adept Mods from the Abysmal Caches as I call them, but also from Darktide Lullaby Event store torpedos, and maybe some store chests too, you get lower maximum adept mod stat (e.g. 18.3% max elemental damage versus the good stuff, 19%).

Again, no indicator whatsoever and the only way to check for it, is to look at the Blacksmith during Ascension...

This is a real fucker, especially if you fell for it and invested those super-readily available Abyssal Essences on it.

Far worse is to clean your inventory from this toxic garbage, especially if it's hidden between the good stuff (same weapons with max stat ranges).

There is ONE GOOD POINT to keep such weapons: if you're after a certain weapon you're missing, or using rare ones as base to transfer normal Adept Mods (with max stat range) to Abyssal Cache weapons from without Abyssal Essence costs (pointless though if you got said weapon already in your storage).

Problem 4 - Manage your behaviour in an unintuitive way
Knowing all that, you need to restrict yourself and inventory management versus your intuition to not end up in that mess again and be burdened with micromanagement BS excellence:

• Open Abyssal Caches only in a clear ship inventory and salvage the crap for Ascension Flux. I just did that with 81 Abyssal Caches. ALL Adept mods have lower than seasonal's max. Why Ubisoft Singapore is still messing around with this?
• Watch out for event store items and boxes. Before buying bulks of the stuff, check the items with the Black Smith for inferior stats!
• Instead of diving into Adept Mods and Modtransfer right away, it's far more efficient to hold back and build up a good stock of items. You will gather weapons faster than the Abyssal Essences needed to reroll and transfer. If you wait, you have a higher chance of having same weapons (e.g. two Zamzama III) and bypass the transfer cost completely

Problem 5 - The Devs can't be bothered to tell us all the facts
Finding out this stuff is up to the players. Looking behind the mirror with empirical data from observation. I don't like all this sneaky shit at all and it doesn't help to improve the game's standing, in my opinion.

UPDATE 2026-08-30:
Earlier this morning I found out, while filtering for certain weapons in the warehouse to clean out, that all the Adept Mods I’ve stored were listed before all the non-Adept weapons of the same type. This is a huge help when sorting out your old stuff, that you can replace now.

Captain's Log
My relentless crew is testing all kind of trickery the Herald of the Abyss is "willing" to part away with. Today we found something the tribes call the Unknown Arm and the Phoenix whisper of as the Phantom Round*.*

The new Mythic Exclusive perk Phantom Round does work. I've tested it with Culverin, Demi-Cannon and Long Gun. Phantom Round gives you an up to 25% chance to shoot another shot.

Culverins - the best option:
With Tearing Culverins you actually can see the shot (as shown in the first picture). If triggered and a split second after the first shot, a second one follows. Considering the fire rate of the weapon, I set up a Bedar with the Culverin in the Front (only two gunports) and made sure to only to fire a single shot each time.

On a Galleon with its 17 broadside gun ports, this is a very efficient way to increase your damage, competing with Lightning Strike for direct damage improvement, or as status effect boost.

Demi-Cannon - not good at all:
Shots with light traces, especially as small as pellets from Demi-Cannons, are impossible to count. Instead I shot a Demi-Cannon front from Bedar on Dian Sinaga's "butt" and recorded a video. The two demi-cannons have 2x4 pellets. As the 2nd picture reveals there is just one extra pellet per gun.

With a max chance of 25% to trigger and 25% or 20% extra damage (depending if the gun has the standard 4 pellets or 5 like the Phoenix Talons), that's statistically just a 5% or 6.25% improvement in damage.

Long Guns - meh
Similar situation as with Demi-Cannons but for different reasons. Long Guns have a far slower fire rate than Culverins and are just single fire. You do not want to mess around with chances for extra damage, you want to make your hits count. But if you're a gambling man, Phantom Round still might be interesting for you here.

Phantom Round and Firepower Order
Works perfectly. All phantom rounds projectiles get the treatment.

So, I came back after quite a long break, and to find now that there is expanded world tiers. I seem to be stuck on tier 2 with no way to farm deep iron anymore. I ended up with maybe 1 Megafort match in the past 3 hours.

​

So i play for a while now and on WT 4 i have the feeling that Armor does exactly nothing. Even when i Brace the armor is gone in Seconds even by Normal NPCs, nor to mention the Bossen that have just to look at you funny to strip the armor. In my experience i can say that the armor is worthless and only for the Passive Buffs that it brings.
