Buy the S6 Plunderpass or buy Ancient coins?

@schwammlgott the store bought version I think is like ten bucks.

@dank-jimb0 we never got all the coins back...S1-S4 as far as I remember we got 500AC (with plunder pass) and season 5 we got 750AC
This time, when I heard that right in the trailer, it's 500 again
Anyway what's the price of the plunder pass in the store? I didn't count, but I guess the best deal is by buying the biggest AC bundle...the cheapest at least

Didn't we also get 250 coins in the non-pass bits ? So playing the season with the pass could get you the next pass for free ?

If you buy the plunder pass later in the season after you get renown 100 do you get all those coins you would have got?

@dank-jimb0 yes. If you buy the plunder pass later in S6, then any reward you would’ve gotten you’ll have rewarded

@dank-jimb0 yes, also the plunder pass' items can be bought later on for a total around $40 so if you complete the pass you get more for your buck

@lem0n-curry already counted...250 in the season, 250 in the plunder pass...

That's for the regular Seasons 1-4; in https://www.seaofthieves.com/pirate-emporium it says

Season Five Plunder Pass […] All that plus a Sand Angel Emote and a festive haul of 750 Ancient Coins!

Plus 250 of the "free levels", makes 1000.

The 'best' deal is to sign up for Microsoft Rewards and get Xbox credit while also utilizing the 7% cashback from Bing Rebates for using the MS store link on the rewards web site when making your purchase. YMMV, depending on country.

Make sure you also wait for the 10% Gamepass discount to activate for the Plunder Pass. It's not always immediately available when the Pass or any DLC first hits the store. (might take a few hours to be added).

Not when you play on Steam AFAIK, then you'll have to buy it in the Steam store.
Bought things only will be added to your pirate when playing from the same as you bought your stuff.

Whatever you use don't use Roubles I think that may require a remortgage

Where does it say, that in the 750 AC the regular 250 from the season aren't included? For me it sounds like "buy the pass and you earn 750AC"...like, instead of just 250...

Then it should have also listed other items that were for free, wouldn't it ?
This was a text with as header the Season 5 Plunder Pass, anything that was listed there should be part the plunder pass. If you would get 500 of pass and 250 for free, that would have been some sort of false advertising.

For Season 6

All that plus 250 Ancient Coins, in addition to the 250 you can earn via Seasonal progression!

I didn't count...maybe it was 1000...can we look at the list somewhere for S5? It's 25AC each time, would be counted quick...

There are handful of rare AC (e.g. for level 43) and a fine supply of prized AC (e.g. level 46)

In the Plunder pass : 10 of each, for free 10 times the handful one.
Guessing the handful one is 25 coins each, if the other one was 50 each it comes to 1000.
If the total would have been 750, both handful and fine supply would be 25 coins each.

Yeah, makes sense...
Shame on me...

No shame needed IMO.

I've been looking for other discussions on this, but I couldn't find any :(.
