Climb the Leaderboard

Now that your smuggling operations at The Helm is up and running, it's time to get to work and climb the leaderboard to get sovereigns.

The leaderboard is another ranking system in Skull and Bones that is determined by how much Pieces of Eight a player has. The more Pieces of Eight that you have, the higher your ranking is on the leaderboard.

To see your current position on the leaderboard, head to a Smuggler's Hideout in Sainte-Anne or Telok Penjarah and check the Helm Empire Overview.

The leaderboard rankings are split into two: Weekly and Seasonal. Sovereigns are rewarded after reaching a certain Tier in the leaderboard rankings, competing among other players who have attained the Kingpin rank.

The seasonal leaderboard ranking resets after each season, giving all players a chance to reach the top since everyone will start from the bottom rank again!

Get More Pieces of Eight By Smuggling Goods

You can rack up Pieces of Eight by smuggling goods through The Helm or Manufactories.

You can use the Pieces of Eight that you earned to further enhance your ship, so you can run your smuggling operations more efficiently. There's no need to worry because spending your Pieces of Eight does not affect your position on the leaderboard.
