1. Stealth and Social Blending

Stealth is your greatest weapon. You can blend into crowds or use environmental coverage to remain completely unseen by Spanish and British forces.

Vegetation: Crouching in stalk zones makes you invisible unless a guard steps directly in.
Social Blending: Stand near at least two talking citizens to fade into the background.

2. Naval Navigation Basics

The wind direction is indicated on your minimap. Sailing against the wind slows the Jackdaw significantly. Adjust your sails accordingly:

Travel Sails: Maximum speed, but turning radius is severely limited.
Half Sails: Best for tight maneuverability in battle.
