The Sambuk ship, also referred to as the Pyromaniac, stands as the ultimate endgame aspiration for any ship captain in Skull and Bones who seeks to ignite the seas.
If you’ve relished utilizing the smaller Firebrand Barge with its special Wildfire perk, spreading the Ablaze effect to nearby ships, then the Sambuk will undoubtedly captivate you. Its perk, Scorched, inflicts 5000 Burning damage upon applying the Ablaze effect to an enemy ship, while also extending Ablaze to foes within a 150m radius. Vessels engulfed in flames suffer a 30 percent increase in damage.
So, how does one obtain one of the most formidable ships in Skull and Bones? Like any other vessel, you’ll require the blueprints.
Is the Sambuk worth it in Skull and Bones?
If you’re comfortable engaging in close-quarters combat with enemy ships, then the Sambuk unquestionably merits consideration. The Scorched perk empowers you to inflict 5000 Burning damage simply by closing the distance, with subsequent damage amplified.
Additionally, the Sambuk is outfitted with weapons in all major slots (bow, stern, broadsides, and auxiliary), boasts multiple gunports, and offers five furniture slots. Its only drawback lies in its weaker hull strength compared to other DPS ships, a trade-off for its ability to swiftly and effectively deal damage.
How do I get the Sambuk blueprint in Skull and Bones?
To acquire the Sambuk blueprint, you must first attain the Cutthroat rank of Infamy, the second highest rank after Kingpin.
Once you’ve achieved Cutthroat status, you can procure the Sambuk blueprint from the Helm’s Black Market for 5,000 pieces of eight. Yanita Nara, the barkeep at Le Mont Muet in Sainte-Anne, who introduces you to the Helm and the smuggling aspect of the game, will vend the blueprints if you possess the required Infamy level and coinage, as will other Black Market vendors.
What do I need to craft the Sambuk in Skull and Bones?
Upon obtaining the blueprints, you’ll need the necessary materials to craft the Sambuk, including:
- 15 Greenheart Plank
- 15 Magnetite Ingot
- 12 Roselle Cloth
- Four Wood Tar
- Four Cogwheel
- Two Torsion Spring
- Eels’ Twine
- 12,000 Silver
Wood Tar, Cogwheel, and Torsion Springs can be looted and plundered from Le Compagnie ships and settlements. Once you’ve amassed all the materials, visit the shipwright to construct your Sambuk, and then set sail, ready to set things ablaze.
