Unlike other crafting resources like Cobalt, it's unlikely you'll find Lime as a harvestable resource out in the wild. Instead, there are a couple of reliable ways to get Lime in Skull and Bones:

  • You can buy it from vendors called Leaders at certain outposts, like The Navigator's Cross outpost in Jiwe, an Ungwana military camp northwest of the Islands of the Moon, as pictured above. Lime costs 90 silver each, so it's not too pricey to buy, but it could prove expensive if you need a lot.

  • Alternatively, you can attack certain ships to get Lime and destroy or board them. Your best bet is to search for Confederation of Ungwana ships in Skull and Bones' Jiwe region towards the northwest of the map near the coast of Africa. You can spot these ships via their yellow-green designs and use your spyglass to check for those transporting Lime.

These Ungwana Burner ships can prove tough to fight and are often equipped with fire weapons, so be prepared with fire resistance or to repair your ship with Skull and Bones' Repair Kits as needed. Once defeated, you can fish Lime out of the water as usual. However, other ships that can carry Lime include aggressive and often high-level Privateer ships that can be significantly challenging to take down.
