How to get the Sambuk blueprint in Skull and Bones

To get the Sambuk in Skull and Bones, you’ll need to have an Infamy rank of Cutthroat or higher and then purchase the ship blueprint from the Black Market for 5000 Pieces of Eight.

Cutthroat Infamy rank is the second highest in the game, trumped only by Kingpin, which makes the Sambuk very much a mid-to-late game ship option. You can gain higher Infamy by earning XP from Contracts, harvesting and gathering resources, crafting, and sinking ships throughout the Indian Ocean.

Once you hit Cutthroat, you’ll have the option to buy the Sambuk blueprint from The Helm’s Black Market, either from Yanita Nara, the manager at Le Pont Muet in Sainte-Anne, or from Pulka Buta, the manager at the Houma Nara in Telok Penjara. If you’ve yet to unlock the Black Market, follow and complete the quest like that starts with the A Covert Initiation contract and ends with the A Tight Ship contract. The quest line unlocks once you hit Infamy rank Brigand.

Pieces of Eight is a currency exclusive to the Black Market, mainly used to buy blueprints and cosmetics, such as the one for the Skull and Bones Sambuk ship. It’s earned for completing late-game Order Registry quests, which can be picked up at any of the Black Market spots. They typically involve ferrying certain goods to specific locations. Additionally, world events like Hostile Takeovers and legendary heists like Cutthroat Cargo Hunt also offer Pieces of Eight as rewards.
