I use this as a guide to my sailing route for when I decide not to work on PvE content such as Athena quests, merchants etc..
Alot of times I use this to hunt megaladons or Skeleton ships mainly because of the drops and I would make a drop off to reapers hide-a-way.
I’ll find ships with emissaries around this route also hits all the vault locations in sight. So alone I’ll devise a plan to unlease sometype of evil attack on it and get the prized award. Normally I just need reapers rep so I’ll get their flag as the prize. In a party, I’d go for more.
Servers will look dead, but 9 / 10 new players login or merge over from another server. Then there is you merging to a real active one with someone stacking fort of th damned.
Don’t give up on the quiet servers, you can get good content from them. It really what makes this game both fun and exciting adventure all together.
