This guide details three ways to get Precision Drilling Bits in Skull and Bones, including one approach that will work for solo players.

Once the required Infamy Rank has been reached, players should unlock the Investigations mechanic by interacting with a Sainte-Anne NPC that is marked with a purple eye. Fans should then return to the Mailbox, and interacting with the sparkling letter that sits in front of it will start the Bloody Bones’ Legacy Investigation.

Shipwreck Near Hovohovo Settlement

Players will now learn that there is shipwreck near Hovohovo Settlement, and their job is to interact with it. For the uninitiated, that Settlement is located approximately 5,600 meters southwest of Sainte-Anne, and its position has been marked on the maps that are above. Upon reaching Hovohovo, fans of pirate video games should simply interact with the Large Compagnie Shipwreck that is on the small island to the west.

Fort Louis is approximately 1,230 meters southeast of Hovohovo, and players must now put their efforts toward sinking La Paradis, a Level 4 ship that sails slightly south of the Outpost. The position of this ship has been marked on the maps that are above, to make locating it as easy as possible, and Skull and Bones players can use their spyglass to confirm that they have found the correct vessel.

Find Bloody Bones’s Grave

Players should now disembark at the nearby Fort Louis and follow the dirt path that is ahead of them. This path forks after a short distance, and going right at that fork will lead fans directly to Bloody Bones’s Grave, an illuminated spot from which a treasure chest can be extracted.
