Map
Skull Rock
The tutorial island where you escape the hunter ship, found the first Pirate Camp, and learn stew, planks, and pier basics.
What to expect
Skull Rock mixes scarce flat land with tall cliffs. Farms and docks fight for valley floors while housing climbs the rock face. Crown story beats arrive early, so Cohesion and repair stock matter before you chase distant nodes.
Opening priorities
- Secure stew through a Galley on a green route
- Run wood into planks with a warehouse hub nearby
- Unlock vertical transport before you sprawl across ledges
- Crew Landlubber, then plan a Tier 2 hull before hard sea icons
