Magnifying Glass - indicates no specific action necessary

The magnifying glass icon in Skull & Bones is a visual indicator that suggests no specific action is necessary from the player at that moment. It is often used to highlight points of interest or information that are available for review but do not require immediate interaction or a change in gameplay.

Walkthrough

1
Observe the magnifying glass icon on your screen or map.
2
Understand that this icon typically signifies that the associated element is informational or a potential point of interest, rather than an objective requiring immediate attention.
3
Proceed with your current activities, as no direct action is mandated by this icon.

Tips

While the magnifying glass indicates no immediate action is needed, it can still be useful for exploration and discovering lore or optional content.
Pay attention to the context in which the magnifying glass appears to better understand what it is highlighting.
If you are unsure, you can always investigate the area or item associated with the icon at your convenience.

It serves multiple functions:

Backing out of close-up views.

This section of the guide will detail where to pick up various items and resources throughout Skull & Bones. As the game involves extensive crafting, trading, and contract fulfillment, knowing the best locations to acquire specific goods is crucial for progression.

2
Specific Crafting Materials: Rarer materials such as rare ores, exotic plants, or animal hides are often tied to specific regions or activities. For example, certain ores might be more abundant near volcanic islands, while specific flora could be found in dense jungles. Always check the resource's description for hints on its location.

Quest and Contract Items: Items required for specific contracts or quests are usually obtained through completing objectives, defeating specific enemies, or purchasing them from designated vendors. The contract details will often specify where or how to acquire these items.
4
Commodities for Trade: Commodities like sugar, rum, or spices are typically acquired from specific production sites (e.g., plantations, distilleries) or by trading with merchants in settlements. Some may also be found as loot from raiding merchant ships.
