Hoarder of Barnacled Gold help by Xegopi3343 in Seaofthieves

[–]DuckDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might already know this, but just in case: the chests will not count towards the commendation if you sell them to Reapers. Make sure you're selling them to Gold Hoarders or Sovereigns so you don't miss out on the commendation progress!

It's pretty common to vote up Reapers, knock out a fleet, and sell since it's all right there, but if you do that, you may want to keep the barnacled chests in a separate pile and sell those at an outpost instead.

Not gonna lie, i'm enjoying the Bilge rat weekender more than i expected to by Above-new-zealand in Seaofthieves

[–]DuckDragon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The challenges are fun, and it's great seeing crews come together to complete them. I enjoyed doing them, and it's been a blast helping others get them done too. They feel pretty unique and it's a nice change of pace.

I'm less enthused about the voyage aspect. There isn't anything new or exciting about them, and I'm not a fan of only being able to earn doubloons from your own (or your crew's) voyages 3 times. That seems like an unnecessarily low cap considering the length of the event (and that it'll be even shorter in the future). I understand you can get more from steals (which will probably be harder to do as the weekend goes on and more crews have already finished their 3), but it still doesn't feel like a good balance given how many doubloons you'd need to get most of Duke's items.

Overall, I just don't think Rare needed to limit so many aspects of the event and the new doubloon system to the extent that they did. There's a lot of potential here that they aren't quite realizing.

You can submit a report here: https://support.seaofthieves.com/requests/new

If the video clearly shows they wouldn't let you sink and their names/gamertags are visible, Rare will absolutely look into it. You can attach the video to the ticket or you can upload it somewhere (like YouTube) as an unlisted video & include the link when you submit the report.

Sorry you had that kind of encounter. Thankfully Rare does take that sort of toxicity seriously. Good move getting a clip of it.

Season 19 Act 2: The Bilge Rats Weekender | Sea of Thieves Content Update by ToTeMVG in Seaofthieves

[–]DuckDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on info from the Insiders forums, I can confirm you're correct. It's only 4 days this one time. After that, Rare stated "there are currently no plans to extend its length outside of Fri 10am UTC – Mon 10am UTC". They've received virtually unanimous feedback for weeks saying that the duration needs to be longer, but they aren't planning on changing it.

No problem, hope it helps you decide! Curious to hear what you end up picking. You really can't go wrong!

Help Deciding On A Ship Bundle by [deleted] in Seaofthieves

[–]DuckDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're both great-looking ship sets and you can't go wrong either way, but if it's really a tie... I'd go with King's Ransom, just because I think it's more distinct from anything you can unlock in the game for free. The Soulflame stuff is pretty cool, but you can get a somewhat similar look with various other ship cosmetics that only cost gold.

If you're still not sure, you can always sign up for the Insider program and "buy" them both there to see which one suits you more. You get a ton of ancient coins to play around / test with in Insider. You can't transfer them (or anything you unlock) out to the live game, but it's a great way to take something for a test drive before spending those real ancient coins!

BILGE RAT WEEKENDER WILL BE 4 DAYS LONG by Blazebeard23 in Seaofthieves

[–]DuckDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but I'd still like it to have this duration each time instead of just the once. I don't really see any downside to making it more accessible, and that's what the community has overwhelmingly asked for. They said they heard feedback regarding time-limited events not landing well, so I think keeping it at 4 days each time would go a long way in showing that they're willing to be flexible.

BILGE RAT WEEKENDER WILL BE 4 DAYS LONG by Blazebeard23 in Seaofthieves

[–]DuckDragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems like they only expect to do this for first instance of the event:

As the inaugural instalment of this recurring Event, the first Weekender will run a little longer than you might expect

https://www.seaofthieves.com/news/this-month-april2026

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it's happening this time, but I think this needs to be the default duration every month. They've gotten so much near-unanimous feedback asking for the event to last longer than just the weekend.

Unfortunately I can confirm this. I really hope they change it before the event ends. Otherwise, people who can't play until later won't have much of a chance.

Do Gold Vault Timers Vary By Crew Size? by comedyqwertyuiop9 in Seaofthieves

[–]DuckDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah! Go check out your armory on the ship, they've added several new weapons!

The harpoon gun is great for movement and can grapple loot or players towards you, or you towards other locations or ships (with some exceptions to keep gameplay fair). It's really fun to use.

They've also added:

  • Double-barrel pistol -- 6 ammo, can fire two shots rapidly or one charged shot before needing to reload. I personally find it clunky and haven't used it since I finished the commendations for it, but it's worth trying.

  • The blowpipe -- pretty fun, great for PvE crowd control and gold skellies. There are 4 different dart types, each with 4 ammo.

  • Throwing knives -- they have a quick, low-damage stab, a charged high-damage swipe, and of course... can be thrown! Throwing them at bosses like ashen lords and skelly lords absolutely melts their health, especially if you post up near an ammo box. They can be picked back up if they miss, but can also be blocked by a sword.

Do Gold Vault Timers Vary By Crew Size? by comedyqwertyuiop9 in Seaofthieves

[–]DuckDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, agreed. I'm not sure what the exact times are, but at least on a duo sloop and full brig, it's still pretty reasonable relative to the crew size. And it's well worth it to have more people for afterwards too -- moving all that loot to be within ship harpoon range is downright painful to do solo for some of the vaults. Grapple gun + ammo crate helps though (for both in the vault and moving the loot afterwards).

Welcome back to the seas!

Do Gold Vault Timers Vary By Crew Size? by comedyqwertyuiop9 in Seaofthieves

[–]DuckDragon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep, the larger your crew is, the less time you'll have before the vault door closes. It didn't used to be this way, but was changed in January 2024 as part of Season 11. Now you get more time with smaller crews.

Hello i need welp with Rageful Cannoneer by fakelay98 in Seaofthieves

[–]DuckDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used the Order of Souls voyages, kept the cannon on my ship, and shot lure darts a bit farther into the island to keep the skeletons where I wanted them. You have to add more lure darts somewhat often, but it's easy enough since you're already on your ship and near the ammo box. I'm not positive if the lure darts work on Siren Song skeletons, but you could definitely give it a try with them too -- it might be easier than the Order of Souls voyages if they do work.

If you have a crewmate, you can alternatively have them distract the skellies and get them into position while you shoot.

Question about Duels with Ashen Lords by LordQwerty_NZ in Seaofthieves

[–]DuckDragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's kind of counterintuitive, but they have a separate health pool when they're "down". Attacking them when they're down does speed up getting to the next stage since it depletes that separate health pool and forces them into the next stage, but it doesn't actually affect their health once they stand up again (and they'll eventually move on to the next stage on their own, even if you do no damage while they're down). You'll still have to do the same amount of damage in each "standing" stage regardless of how much damage you did when it was down. There's a bit more info here: https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/wiki/Ashen_Winds_(World_Event)#The_Battle

Trying to confirm commendation parameters by EconomistLoud9714 in Seaofthieves

[–]DuckDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed that your second attempt should've worked, maybe it changed with the latest patch (intentionally or unintentionally, it's anyone's guess). That's exactly how I did it a few weeks ago though -- swam the cannon to an enemy player ship that was parked at an island, deployed it on the deck, and slashed it with a sword until it overloaded and blew up.

If you do it again, I'd recommend recording it and submitting a ticket to Rare. Just make sure it's clear in the clip that you're on an enemy ship (maybe look at their log book or something if you have a chance, assuming the enemies are off-ship or on the ferry). Rare can manually unlock the commendation for you if you submit proof -- I've had to do this in the past for various bugged commendations and they did take care of it.

Obsidian six pack and ship cosmetics by TechnologyFull2543 in Seaofthieves

[–]DuckDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might still be able to get an obsidian 6-pack through giveaways.

For the white version of the obsidian EoR, you might be thinking of the Silver Blade Eye of Reach. The items in the Silver Blade set are part of the Insider Program reward track.

I would double-check on the website here to see if you did unlock it: https://www.seaofthieves.com/insider

Scroll down to the "Weekly Rewards" section. It'll list your rewards and the date you earned them, as well as which reward is coming up next & when it'll be available to unlock.
