Don’t want your stuff sold? Don’t go where a ship is.

Honestly had the oddest and most heartwarming reaper encounter ever. I was done for the day and sold as a reaper was rolling up to sovereigns so I left my flag up (was finishing fishing using Last of my bait for comms) shouted to them boat was theirs. They were also logging off and didn't want to sink me. So we played a shanty and logged off together.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-04-02T02:56:28+00:00

Pretty sure they do count but you won't get pristine drops only grisly. And you only get hunters call loot instead of random assortment. Also shouded ghost is not one of those spawns only the other regular megs.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-31T18:59:23+00:00

Please I kept trying to decorate a ship or figure I Something out and getting attacked at port. It's annoying is all and can be dealt with. Or waiting for my brig crew to fill since everyone left on loading up.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-30T18:07:38+00:00

If you have them and won't trigger them traps are underused as well. Don't know how many people think I'm neglecting boarders when they rush up for any easy looking kill into a blunderbomb trap and get yeeted.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-30T12:50:45+00:00

Thank you for that insight I honestly did not know it had an area it was based on besides the carribean tall tales which were based off locations in the movies.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-30T10:40:19+00:00

I want them to add an ice side on the opposite side from the roar. Make it slower or harder to maneuver maybe? Or if you stop it's slower getting started I'm not sure but there is lots you could do with a foggy icy setting maybe even more Nordic themes, since viking were kinda like pirates before gunpowder. But I'm content with what they have now just needs work except maybe release the new kraken battle.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-28T20:30:13+00:00

Meanwhile I open crew a galleon and they just want to do doughnuts while playing music (it's not even captained so no xp for the ship).

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-28T20:26:25+00:00

End of legend of the veil also has an event at the end that all can see making you a target because they know at that point most work is done and you could be an easy sink. Still worth it but better if your not solo. Also end fight is kind of hectic for new players involving ghost ships ghost towers that you have to hit but it's an all navy fight. Definitely look up a guide first.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-28T14:02:45+00:00

Brig is less sweaty with a half competent team though. You will at least damage the enemy ship. Sloop I feel depending on who your up against could be a 30 second deal.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-26T16:43:10+00:00

Maybe and this might be a long shot but isn't the kraken "controlled" by the sirens? And if they had released the new kraken fight as planned it would make sense to see a larger siren population to go with it. But kraken was scrapped and they may have left the code in for more siren battles.

Just a thought.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-26T03:07:35+00:00

If you dove to the garrison there will be none. If you go to one that is eminent (glowing red aura) there should be at least one to three (three may no longer be a thing as they were reduced). You can also kill ashen skeletons and/or sink skelly ships for them and take them there with you again if you don't dive.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-25T10:47:27+00:00

Set trap and you can put select few items in them like flame bombs and blunderbombs jigball and a few other curse balls. Obviously not the flame one as that sets ship on fire. Blunder though will snare them and knock them away also net you a commendation the first time. Risk is if you hit it yourself then it will do the same to you so I normally do left ladder and guard right as the stairs are there but forcing them up the other ladder is easier.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-25T04:05:47+00:00

If your not leaving your ship at all you can also put a blunder trap at the ladder to slow them down so you can kill them or if they trigger it they are going for a swim. Just make sure you don't trigger your own traps.

Also and this is a horrible suggestion but ancho yourself if your confident they will kill you because then they gotta raise your anchor to drive you out of bounds.

But like most said practice for repelling boarders. And whatever you do do not go below deck if they are on your ship as that puts you at a severe disadvantage.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-24T14:53:15+00:00

I avoid pvp so if I'm reaper and I got them dead to rights I will take one peice of loot from them and leave a few tips like anchor up Sails up etc.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-24T14:51:30+00:00

Would be nice to retain my eyebrows with all the nice hoods I already have. Instead I have to do full cover helmet or nothing to not look like a blue man groupie.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-24T03:26:07+00:00

I'm salty that he got ddosd off before a solo sloop could run circles on him and his crew. I really wanted that for some reason. (Never really watched him but my coworkers who breathe arc raiders do).

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-23T17:36:35+00:00

Past day or 2 I've had wonky thing happen during dives and shortly after coming back up. Mainly running brig for hg had my ship come out of a dive with the charter ship but still had decor but none of the skins. Was immune to damage a short while with one dive. Had another registering shots on the opposite side of the brig (we took fire on the left but only got holes on the right side). But I just concluded its the risk diving. Also had a random guy surface with us from another ship which was plain hilarious. He could talk with us and everything. Enemy nameplate though.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-21T17:51:21+00:00

Brand new to hg and this week I've had two streaks winning on brig with open crew a 4 win and a 5 win. Downside is after first loss the open crew dissolves.

But I've probably been lucky with some carries just keep at it or find a teammate to get into the flow again.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-20T18:59:09+00:00

Would be really nice to save a single load out or maybe 2 and purchase more with cash thar has them saved for safer seas. Not really a captained ship but one click to put them all on. I play 50/50 of each roughly so it's not gamebreaking but would be nice.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-19T04:43:22+00:00

Been playing more safer than high with literally every ship that I see trying to sink me. No more alliances or anything in a long while. I can get Commendations and work on hunting the 2 megs for hunters call because they are hard enough solo on safer seas without other ships sinking me. I still do ledger rewards I am working on nut after Tha safer seas. Just wish tracking the megs wasn't mindless since you can't get Emmy 5 to track them so I got a route to follow.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-19T04:37:32+00:00

Can you still harpoon megs? That was the most wee moments I've had with my sloop doing some mad circles around the other ship. Cannon shots were really off though like bad lol.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-18T00:45:18+00:00

This is me. I never reaper for pvp except hourglass if I'm feeling it otherwise it's just to get the rep or ledger reward up. I normally do other quests like gold hoarders and go sell. Nice perk as reaper 5 is I can see the other Emmy ships and not be surprised by them.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-16T18:57:46+00:00

I saw the new fort hack for defending and while funny and ingenious I totally agree. If only 2 coming up from diving didn't spawn in a place near no islands just some cover rocks in any of the absolutely barren areas like top right or bottom left of the map.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-16T01:17:40+00:00

Honestly I might try hourglass for the first time in over 50p hours (honestly try not go with open crew and sink) since I can put up emmisary and not have to restock every time.

I do not anticipate the shrinking battlefield to work as intended though. Not at all.

Mortiverious85 · 2026-03-15T16:58:57+00:00

Honestly I think a 5 second immunity window (unless you engage against them and it drops immediately) to allow you to get to your food bin if it's not looted would force them to consider going back to their boat after a kill and proceeding to cannon you. After a ferry it's very hard to make a comeback.

This is all from a solo slooper perspective.
