How to gain Infamy in Skull and Bones
Infamy is how you level up in Skull and Bones, and going through the ranks is essential to unlocking new crafting recipes and items. These are all the ranks in order:
- Outcast
- Scoundrel
- Rover
- Freebooter
- Buccaneer
- Brigand
- Marauder
- Corsair
- Cutthroat
- Kingpin
To gain Infamy, you can complete several different activities: fighting, quests, and exploration. Most quests will reward you with Infamy for completing them, and you can pick up some naturally just by traveling around to each quest location. However, I found the best way to earn some fast is just by sailing around and shooting any shark, ship, or enemy I can see.
