Before heading out into the high seas ofSkull and Bones, it is always important for players to make the right preparation for the trials and tribulations that lie ahead. It is never going to be a good time to find yourself out at sea without the right equipment and being ill-prepared for an encounter, and having better weapons and parts will make life easier for any pirate.
As such, most of the time, the raw materials harvested from the world and obtained as spoils just will not cut it anymore, as later upgrades will require more specialized materials to be crafted. This is where the Refinery back at Sainte-Anne comes into play, allowing players to refine items into more advanced forms. This ishow to find the Refinery and start the process of refining itemsinSkull and Bones.
Finding the Refinery in Skull and Bones
Once players have docked at Sainte-Anne, the Refinery will be to theleft of the docks, nestled among the other artisans who are masters at their craft. On the map, it is at thenorthern tip of the settlement, just opposite the Blacksmith and next to the cooking pot.
Once there, players can speak to Vera van Wessel, who will explain the refining process to anyone eager to pick up the much-needed knowledge. Further into the game, a second Refinery can be found inTelok Penjarah, this time on thenorthwestern partof the settlement.
Refining Items in Skull and Bones
Essentially, the refining processtakes all raw materialsgathered by the player and furtherrefines them into more useful and advanced materialsthat can be used for crafting. This refers to materials likewood logs, ore,jute, and the like, and going to the Refinery allows all of that to be turned into something more complicated, like planks, ingots, and more.
This is not a process that takes place instantaneously. Having chosen the material to be refined, players will have toassign that particular process to a worker. At the start, there will only be a single worker available, but as yourise in Infamy and gain ranks,more slotswill be opened up.
Thetime required, as well as thecost in silver, will also be displayed, allowing players to know exactly how long it will take for the process to complete. Do note that the process isnot a one-to-one exchange, with advanced materials usually requiring several pieces of raw materials to make. Once the process begins, you are free to pursue other adventures until the next time you drop by to collect your refined items.
