How To Earn LOADS Of Plunder Easily & Constantly In Plunderstorm!

Here's how I've been able to earn lots of plunder per match (well over 500), and consistently do well!

You are doing well because you are good at this type of gameplay. Those of us with physical limitations really struggle at this. There is a reason why the majority of players don't PVP. They either need a separate mode for more casual players, or really boost up what you get if you are easily killed. Feels bad going in, dying within a minute, and not getting much of anything.

So we tried this and after a few games it just wasn't as fun as playing normal WOW. So would just rather spend my time in WOW.

Saying that we are big mount and pet collectors so we kind of have to play thru this now for those rewards :(

Though I wonder if Blizzard look at the Plunderstorm metrics and assume everyone playing this is doing so because of fun when some are just doing it for the in-game WOW rewards.

Weird that Blizzard would design a PvP event in which avoiding PvP is the best way to rank up renown.

Hey Bell, your experience in your two hours of getting 8k rep is pretty unlike most people I've seen talk about this. And it's unlike mine as well. You're also whistling past the whole, drop in next to two other players thing and get killed with 8 plunder. Which is also happening to people a lot, even if you try to find a place not in a major area. The most effective way to do this is to dive bomb on an elite, if you know where they are. You can get like 300 right off the bat, do the quest, die. But it's extremely boring.

can't seem to figure out the pvp as i die pretty much as soon as I encounter another person, so I mostly try to farm creatures until the storm forces me to be murdered by another player. it really wouldn't hurt for them to up the amount of plunder you get from participating a bit.

[EdwinHeida]

I am not any good at it, apparently. But trying to dive in, then dying rather fast every single time is not stimulating me to invest any more time in it. But thank you Blizzard for trying. I am sure some are having a blast.

I can't even fathom how you could be getting plunder at the rate you are saying. I haven't come close to that, and I'm not even complaining about the game mode!
My guild Discord was full of complaints of struggling to get even 25 plunder a match before getting killed and just being angry at the whole thing. I'm kinda meh about it but it's definitely not clicking for a large portion of the player base, which is a shame because I'm sure it won't encourage them to try new modes in the future.

Spawn in, get captains quest done, die, repeat.

[CoJoGrizzlo]

*Get in, finish quest, get 400 plunder, get killed, repeat 250 times. got it.*

Sadly i have 0 fun in this mode and i have to force myself through it for the rewards. Makes it not better that they overhyped it with their quitness way to much so that people like me who are not into it are even more dissapointed.

This was a great video but I am still not liking that we are incentivized to go after each other. I would prefer a mode where you kill harder and harder mobs as you get toward the middle and only have to kill each other when there are no mobs left.

[jdbriscoe]

I hate this boring, frustrating, tedious game mode SO MUCH! I just want the battle pet. Why is it rank 30?!?!

[hiddendanger]

"Don't take every fight" lol i had someone chase me literally across the map from the start of the game. I had 0 plunder but crap happens i guess. Main complaint is the pickup of the spells because i lost spells to steals when i am right on top of the spell/item while click spamming pickup.

[tonktonkers]

So far the most effecient way i have been farming this, is about completing the world quest as often as possible. i have managed to find a spot around the outskirts, where i rarely see others - there i simply divebomb, kill elites, loot the chests and kill myself in the wall. i normaly get around 4-500 plunder in a 3-4min run doing this

i got to rank 20 today by repeating this over and over

If you're not into the PvP stuff like me, you'd be better off not dive bombing in; wait and see where others land and try to stay clear. That will give you some time to finish the initial quest, and then that game will be worth it even if you're killed fast. If you do the quest you'll get 250 plunder and quite fast at least 300-400 plunder total, after that it slows down because mobs are killed by others and the space is narrowing. By then (as a PvE'er) you might as well start being more reckless because time spent in game gives less plunder now. I think Plunderstorm is quite fun even as a PvE player, and has good rewards. :)

[jvint]

No, it's worse than pvp. Just want the plunder, always third partied. If there weren't rewards for retail, I wouldn't touch this. It's fine that it's a mode, but I just wish the rewards were only for Plunderstorm so I could avoid the anxiety of trying to run away while i loot plunder

[Rw-uypf]

My tactic : Dive, kill a elite, do quest. Kill some random stuff. Lvl up 2-5 lvls everyday, hit 40 then forget about this event.

[YumYum]

Not for me, tried it and its not worth the grind to hit 40 renown. Wpuld have loved a new couple of dungeons or a 3 man raid but im sure someone will like this...

[machine_gun_jigwy]

I tired to approach it with an open mind, I like WoW pvp but I never played any BRs. After a few games I think I'll sit this one out, I don't really like that nothing I know about WoW applies here, it feels like a different type of game and I'm not really the target audience. I'm a bit sad that a pirate-themed content update is not something that fits more into the regular game. I hope the rest of the ppl have fun with it.

It's an ass game mode. It adds nothing to your main character/progression as its a separate game-mode.
- It's primarily pvp, which means that by design its not for the vast majority of the player base.
- It's actively promoting griefing because the focus is on plunder so pvp makes no sense what so ever.
- Controls are abysmal
- FOMO for basically nothing
- A cheap asset-flip to try and cash in on the trend known as battle-royals
-They really wasted time and energy on this shit instead of adding something to the main game with worthwhile rewards ...

Got in out of it in 20 minutes, and I feel they should pay me for wasting a second on it.
