In Skull and Bones, you can partially explore land at specific locations called Outposts and Dens. While you cannot freely roam vast landmasses like in some other open-world games, these designated areas allow you to interact with the world in various ways.
Here’s what you can do on land in Skull and Bones:
Socialize: You can interact with other players and Non-Playable Characters (NPCs) at these locations.
Complete contracts: Some contracts require visiting land to interact with quest givers or gather information.
Shop for supplies: You can purchase various items like weapons, armor, materials, and ship upgrades at shops located on land.
Manage your crew: You can access the crew menu on land to recruit new members, manage their stats, and customize their appearance (available at higher Infamy ranks).
Craft items: Certain crafting stations, particularly for furniture items, are found on land at Outposts.
However, it’s important to understand the limitations:
Limited exploration: You cannot freely explore vast landscapes on land. Your movement is restricted to designated areas within these Outposts and Dens.
No land combat: The game primarily focuses on ship-to-ship combat, and there are no land combat mechanics available.
Overall, while Skull and Bones is primarily a seafaring experience, venturing onto land at designated locations allows you to interact with the world beyond your ship, progress through quests, and manage your pirate empire.
