Pieces of Eight is one of the currencies you’ll use in Skull and Bones. The base currency is Silver. This is what you earn for completing the majority of tasks, missions, and objectives. Pieces of Eight, however, are much rarer and require to you get involved with even more dastardly types.
How to acquire Pieces of Eight in Skull and Bones
As youprogress through the early positionsof the Skull and Bones story, you’ll be introduced to the Helm. This is an underground black market where you can obtain contracts for collecting resources or delivering the goods you make.
Once you are given access to the Helm on Sainte-Anne, this is how you can start gaining Pieces of Eight:
The most important thing to note here is that you have to complete orders from the Order Registry in a direct manner. You cannot fast travel while actively tracking an order for the Helm. Deliver the goods and the Pieces of Eight are yours.
In addition, you can earn passive Pieces of Eight if you gain control over Manufactories. This happens after you reach the Kingpin Infamy Rank. Hostile Takeover events will begin, where you can defeat enemies in a certain area to complete your progress and gain control of the location.
From there, spend some Silver to fund your operation. Use some Pieces of Eight to upgrade your Manufactories. Then as product is made and currency is earned, you can sail by and pick it up. You’ll have to return to a Pirate Den with it in your inventory before it is fully yours.
