Best ways to earn Plunder and level Keg Leg’s Crew Renown
Whether you’re looking to earn max Renown as soon as possible or want to make the most out of every match, these are the top tips and tricks for earning Plunder in World of Warcraft: Plunderstorm.
Complete the Captain’s Orders
At the beginning of every Plunderstorm match, you receive one of sixCaptain’s OrdersQuests. These involve completing a simple objective even the most yellow-bellied landlubber could accomplish without breaking a sweat.Captain’s Orders award 250 Plunderand should be yourmain priority at the beginning of every game.
Landing, completing your Captain’s Orders Quest, dying, and repeating istechnicallythefastest possible way to earn Plunder— though I wouldn’t recommend it if you have any sense of self-worth. Swashbuckling and adventuring are much more fun.
Complete the Daily Quest
In addition to Captain’s Orders, you will receive aDaily Questworth 800 Plunderevery day. If you’re eyeing the Royal Sefeather mount or pirate Transmog but don’t fancy grinding,completing the Daily Quest each day should be enough to earn the most notable rewardsbefore the event ends.
Defeat as many NPCs as possible
Outside of Quests, Plunder is earned through defeating NPCs.Pick up anyAoE skillsyou find and defeat every PvE enemy that crosses your path. Landing on the outskirts of the map is typically the best plan, though I’ve also had luck in Stormgarde Keep.
I landed on the outskirts of the Plunderstorm map as many pve folks are doing, at the same time as another player. We looked at each other, I bowed, and we went on our separate ways. Ok..I am now adding /bow to my tactics 😊#WoW
Two pirates are better than one! SelectDuosbefore joining a game to matchmake with a fellow buccaneer or invite a Battle.net friend along for the ride. This makes killing enemies and collecting Plunder much faster. Plus, your teammate can revive you if you run into any trouble. Speaking of…
Avoid other players
While it may sound counterintuitive for a battle royale, I highly recommendavoiding other playersas much as possible. It hurts the pirate inside me to say this, but fighting others isn’t worth the risk or the reward.
Winning feels fantastic, but focusing on PvP will slow down your Plunder gain overall. Hopefully, the PvP side of Plunderstorm will reward more Plunder with upcoming improvements.
Keg Leg’s Crew Renown farming summary
The fastest and most efficient way to earn Plunder in Plunderstorm is tocomplete Quests,avoid PvP,anddestroy every NPC in sight. Since there are (currently) no rewards for placements, it’s wise to die and start a new match when the storm covers around 50% of the map.
Everything being said, don’t expect to be rocking up to Valdrakken in your Plunderlord outfit atop your Polly Roger straight away. Pirating takes time, and the Plunder grind is undoubtedly a long one. Good luck out there, matey!
