NEW CONTENT! WORK IN PROGRESS
UPDATES ON THE WAY!
(Captains dying, people starving, Life support failing, glitches killing, and anger intensifying)

Part 1 The Reach And how to get started making money

Ah the Reach welcome to the place you'll be spending 90% of your time like sunless sea some of the most important locations are right smack in the center

Remember when your first starting out you can die and reload from your last port use this chance to waste as little money as possible while finding all the best ports

1st trading weirdly enough trading is reasonablly porfitable in sunless skies vs sunless sea and one of the first things you'll want to do is visit promise of dayz and pick up some trade bargins to make money while you explore the map they'll also tell you where the ports have moved 2 this play through which can be helpful to concerve fuel
2nd Lustium should be your biggest priority getting a mining operation set up here gives you access to the resource Time which is needed as a trade good in alot of instances get a large crew stationed there to start making some sweet sweet raw time
3rd Magdalene your gonna go insane any day exposed to the drifting space and magdalene's treatments will be your safe haven for ridding yourself of conditions you have until 6 to lose it and kill yourself DON'T LET IT GET TO THAT!
P.S. don't forget visiting the center port will reduce terror but will not! clear your condition
4th Titania this is a great place to invest and get Sovereigns back for the construction of buildings this takes time so finding this place quickly will allow you to have more consistent money when the mines of lustium are coming up dry
5th Port avon will take trophies in the in for money so keep this in mind should you come across any nasty beasts granted you might just use the money to repair your hull x_x

Part 2 the horrors of Eleutheria And Not losing your mind

Work in progress
(currently losing my mind to the darkness 4/9/18)

Part 3 Albion And avoiding over exposure to clockwork sunlight

Work in progress
(currently burning alive in the clockwork sun 4/9/18)

Yep, if you sell the box it's gone for good. If you delivered it to London you would have gotten 1 Savage Secret and 1K XP.

Also, if you're looking for Titania, it's next to Leadbeater & Stainrod's Nature Reserve

man i have 2/3 of the reach explored and still haven't found titania. Am I just unlucky or what?

jather 9 Feb, 2019 @ 7:18pm

I've sold the black box, does anyone know if that questline is over for good?

@Sir_Cloud IKR! I have a ton of hours in Sunless Skies (and do like it), but it's not as good to me either. I love everything about Sunless Sea, from the amazing music, spooky dark sea and awesome stories that still draws me in even today!

Yerrrrrr xD keeping focused on sunless skies is hard i'm not nearly as drawn to it as sunless sea i'm not sure why so i'll fill this out whenever i can xD i haven't forgotten about it that's for sure in the meantime >.> darkest dungeon!
