Pirate shipwrecks are a type of salvageable shipwreck found at sea, requiring level 64 Sailing to salvage from with a salvaging hook. Pirate shipwrecks will yield plundered salvage, granting 76 Sailing experience; these can then be sorted at a salvaging station (or the boat facility), granting loot and an additional 31.5 Sailing experience.

Experience rate will vary dependent on the tier of your salvaging hook, and how many you have. Furthermore, you can assign a crewmember to man a hook, ensure you have a salvaging station on your vessel to process the plundered salvage. With Jobless Jim & 2x adamant salvaging hook, you can expect 45,000 or more experience per hour.

Tips and tricks

Find a spot between 2 shipwrecks so you don't have to move your boat.

Sort at the salvage station when your inventory is full. If there are no shipwrecks, sort through the salvage in your cargo hold that your crew has acquired. Switching worlds instead of moving your boat is another preferred method of finding a salvagable shipwreck.

For a more "afk" salvaging experience, play on a Salvaging-themed world and salvage at the shipwrecks south of Pest Control, as this is the most popular spot.
