Gold Skull Rum is a Helm Ware in Skull and Bones that can be used to earn Pieces of Eight and purchase powerful gear from Scurlock. While it is not extremely difficult to obtain this ware, the lack of in-game information may leave some players confused about its source. This guide is here to dispel that confusion, and it will help fans start earning Gold Skull Rum in Skull and Bones.
Skull and Bones: Gold Skull Rum Location
The first step toward earning Gold Skull Rum is unlocking the Helm Empire Overview. This is done simply by completing main contracts for Yanita Nara in Sainte-Anne, and players who have yet to gain access to the feature should simply continue working through Skull and Bones' campaign. Indeed, the main story leads directly to the Helm, Yanita Nara, and the Helm Empire Overview.

Once the Helm Empire Overview is unlocked, players should enter the Smuggler's Lounge, in either Sainte-Anne or Skull and Bones' Telok Penjarah, and interact with the desk. Fans who perform those actions will find that there are six areas in which they can upgrade their abilities, and Smuggler Operations is the one that is relevant to the creation of Gold Skull Rum. Indeed, reaching Rank 7 of Smuggler Operations makes it possible to refine White Skull Rum into Gold Skull Rum, and that refinement can be executed at the Distillery within the Smuggler's Lounge.
To note, players will need quite a lot of Pieces of Eight in order to achieve Smuggler Operations Rank 7. This is due to the fact that each rank is unlocked with some amount of that Skull and Bones currency, and fans who want to create Gold Skull Rum should be prepared to fulfill many of the orders that can be initiated from within the Smuggler's Lounge. This is especially true if the player is also interested in items that are stocked at the Black Market, as the vast majority of them are purchased with Pieces of Eight.
One final thing to mention is that unlocking Gold Skull Rum does not mark the end of a player's opportunity to expand their alcohol production. Indeed, it becomes possible to create White Skull Gin at Smuggler Operations Rank 8 and Gold Skull Gin at Smuggler Operations Rank 16. Fans of pirate video games will also increase their proficiency with creating opium as they work through those ranks, allowing them to fulfill even more of the orders that come in through the Order Registry.
