Sovereigns are a valuable endgame currency in Skull and Bones. They allow purchasing exclusive high-end gear from the Black Market. However, earning Sovereigns requires reaching the pinnacle of progression first. Here is a guide to obtaining Sovereigns in Skull and Bones.

Reaching Kingpin Infamy Rank

The first requirement for unlocking Sovereigns is attaining the maximum Infamy Rank of Kingpin I. This involves completing numerous contracts, bounties, investigations and other content to build up Infamy experience.

Make sure to take on any missions that reward additional Infamy levels. The grind to Kingpin I takes dozens of hours, so settle in for the long haul. But the payoff of Sovereigns makes the effort worthwhile.

Finishing the Smuggler Storyline

Alongside reaching Kingpin I, you must also complete the Helm mission “A Nose for Business” in Sainte-Anne. This involves advancing your smuggling operations from a small hideout into a sprawling underground empire.

Purchase all the upgrades for your hideout using earned Contraband. Finish the storyline quests to unlock additional Contraband sources. Investing time into building your smuggling business is required for Sovereigns.

Unlocking the Helm Leaderboards

Upon completing the “A Nose for Business” mission and reaching Kingpin I Infamy, the Helm Leaderboards unlock. This tracks your points earned from various Helm activities over seasons.

Two leaderboards exist - a weekly board that resets points every week, and a seasonal board that resets each season. Both award Sovereigns based on your point totals.

Earning Points for Leaderboards

Once the leaderboards are available, points can be earned by completing contracts, investigations and other content tied to the Helm. Key activities that award leaderboard points:

• Selling smuggled goods
• Participating in Hostile Takeovers
• Completing Supply Runs
• Contributing supplies to Outpost projects
• Defeating World Bosses

Check the Helm menu regularly to see available missions that provide leaderboard points. The more you contribute, the more points you rack up over time.

Claiming Sovereign Rewards

As you accumulate leaderboard points, you eventually hit thresholds that award Sovereigns. On the weekly board, these thresholds occur every 10,000 points. The seasonal board grants a large Sovereign payout when it resets.

While your rank position on the leaderboards does not matter, hitting high point thresholds results in more Sovereigns. You retain all earned Sovereigns when boards reset - they never decrease.

How to Spend Sovereigns

Sovereigns can only be spent at the Black Market vendor located near hideout entrances in Sainte-Anne and Telok Penjarah. The Black Market offers elite gear only purchasable with Sovereigns.

This includes schematics for legendary ships, rare outfit sets and unique flagship figureheads. Prices range from 100 to 500+ Sovereigns for the rarest items. Sovereigns enable acquiring the best gear the game has to offer.
