How to find Bones in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and speed up Edward’s upgrades

Bones are one of the most useful resources in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced because they help you craft upgrades for Edward without relying only on animal hunting. While the game does not have deep RPG systems, it still lets you improve Edward’s health, ammo capacity, Remedy carrying limit, and other practical parts of his kit. If you want to make combat, exploration, and naval boarding easier, collecting Bones early is worth the effort.

Unlike Jackdaw upgrades, which mainly depend on money and ship materials, Edward’s upgrades often require animal resources. That can slow progress because you may need specific pelts or skins from animals found in different parts of the map. Bones help solve that problem because they act like a secondary exchange resource at the General Store.

You cannot use Bones like normal money, and they are not meant for regular shopping. Instead, they become valuable when you want crafting materials. Once the right store upgrades are available, Bones can be traded for animal resources, reducing how much time you need to spend hunting.

The fastest way to get Bones is to combine hunting with the Great Inagua Treasure Hoarder

The most direct way to collect Bones is by hunting animals. To make this easier, synchronize viewpoints as you explore the Caribbean. Viewpoints reveal nearby map information, including animal locations. Once you know where animals spawn, you can travel to those areas, hunt them, and collect Bones from their bodies.

This method works well while you are exploring naturally, but it can become repetitive if you need a large amount of resources. That is why the Treasure Hoarder at Great Inagua is so useful. After restoring the Treasure Hoarder at your headquarters, you can buy Bones directly for 1,000 Reales each. Since Reales are easy to earn by plundering ships, this gives you a reliable way to stock up without hunting every animal yourself.

The best approach is to avoid relying on only one method. Hunt animals when you are already near their locations, then use the Treasure Hoarder when you need more Bones quickly. This keeps the process from becoming too slow and lets you turn naval activity into character progression.

Upgrading the General Store is also important. When the General Store reaches its highest level, animal resources become available for purchase with Bones. This makes the crafting process much easier because you no longer need to search every corner of the map for specific materials. Instead, you can farm Reales, buy Bones, and exchange them for the resources required for Edward’s upgrades.

Reales are not difficult to earn if you focus on ship combat. Plundering a few ships can give you enough money to buy several Bones, and that loop becomes more efficient as the Jackdaw gets stronger. In practice, your ship upgrades and Edward upgrades support each other. A stronger Jackdaw helps you earn more money, and more money helps you buy Bones, which then helps improve Edward.

Bones become especially useful if you want to avoid long hunting sessions. Some players may enjoy tracking animals across the map, but others will prefer to spend more time on naval battles, missions, and exploration. The Treasure Hoarder route gives you that choice.

The simplest farming plan is to restore the Treasure Hoarder at Great Inagua, synchronize viewpoints when entering new areas, hunt animals when convenient, and spend extra Reales on Bones whenever you need crafting materials. Once the General Store is fully upgraded, Bones become one of the cleanest ways to finish Edward’s character upgrades without wasting time searching for every animal resource manually.
