Ship Combat Salvage |
Open Ocean |
Engaging and defeating enemy pirate ships is one of the fastest ways to farm silver. Higher-level and higher-rarity ships grant significantly more salvage. |
|
Ancient Ruins Chests |
Coastal Jungle Biome |
Explore large stone ruins in the Coastal Jungle. You will need to defeat elite enemy Lieutenants to obtain the keys required to unlock these treasure chests. |

Tortuga Vendor Purchase |
Tortuga Harbor |
For a guaranteed option, you can purchase Silver Ingots directly from the Goods Seller in Tortuga for 20 Piastres each. Note: Their stock is limited and takes time to refresh. |
Treasure hunting is another incredibly rewarding (and immersive!) way to secure a large amount of silver early on.
"Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest" Quest
This specific quest rewards you with a treasure sketch.
Blackbeard Treasure Maps
You can obtain these special maps by defeating heavily armed pirate groups. Following these maps leads you to hidden graves or dirt mounds marked by skeletons. Digging these up yields excellent rewards, including Silver Ingots and rare ship cosmetics.
