The Supply Run in Skull and Bones is a great way to boost the productivity of a desired Manufactory you won over in hostile takeovers. However, the game tells so little about this mechanic, which leaves players wondering how to start Supply Run in Skull and Bones.
There are a few steps you will need to follow and some pre-requirements to meet before you will be able to use this in-game bonus. Nevertheless, the awards are immeasurable as you will boost the production of Pieces of Eight, which you can then use at the Black Market and get yourself various weapons, gear, and other valuable items. Let's see what you need to do to start Supply Run in Skull and Bones.
How to start Supply Run in Skull and Bones
To start a Supply Run in Skull and Bones you will need Helm material. These are available on the Black Market or to loot from the rogues as you progress through the campaign.
Once you have extra Helm, you can sail to a desired Manufactory. Once there interact with it. In the menu, you will see an option that reads 'Start Supply Run'. Now, the Helm material that you will need depends on what the Manufactory is making. For instance, you will need Sugar Canes if the Manufactory is making White Skull Rum.
Anyway, what is important to know is that the Supply Run won't start if it has less than 15 minutes worth of funding.
Once you match these, for the next 15 minutes, your Manufactory will boost the productivity of 200-225%. This is a great way to boost your productivity but only when you are sure that you will collect the goods.
