Guide to (Rare) Materials Run

Oh, so THAT'S how Scoundrel Rank 3 is started. I always thought it was semi-random.

One interesting thing you can do is sink Skeleton ships at least until your cargo reaches the maximum number. You can then either continue to sink Skeleton ships or attack a random Navy or EITC ship. Upon sinking it you'll immediately get Rank 2 (or Rank 3 if you happen to have plenty of Royal Chests). Only real benefit of this is not having to worry about Navy and EITC for a little bit, I guess, but I find it useful for when I'm all by my lonesome.
