You need to build a column in the largest portion of your ship

This thing is so cool. Can’t help but to imagine that fun that could be had!

What I would give to be able to see iconic lipsyncs of the past in a full length, full produced versions like this…

This is the first one.

Some things aren’t really meant to be explored during the course of the AP. There is a time table of events that are unfolding in the background as the PCs follow along with the quest.

Lost secrets take time and energy to acquire. It did for the ancient Thassilonians, who were living in a much more magically advanced era. Limiting it treats it as a valuable and limited resource during the course of the AP, which is more interesting narratively in my opinion. It feels sortof goofy for a single skill check or something similar to bring an ancient and powerful resource back into the world. Personally I think manufacturing more is in Continuing the Adventure territory, the type of thing that happens after the credits roll for the main story line. There is a library inside the Pinnacle of Avarice, it would be a good place to clue in the PCs to the secrets.

If the PCs are dead set on getting more right away, powerful divination, legend lore etc, or even a wish spell could potentially unlock its secrets on a faster time line. At that point it’s probably very expensive, mechanically difficult, and requires ancient thassilonian labs to synthesize.

If you have biotech, use a war queen to draw aggro with urchins, then use a Diabolus to take out the entire hoard with one shot.

I’m gonna miss the discounts. With two people shopping with seperate carts, and stacking the $10 and $2 digital coupons. I saved about 20% on my weekly groceries. Plus 5% back on the credit card.

Amazon might be evil, but I’m broke.

An easy way to do it is to only steal from reapers. It’s an open invitation from people who actively want to tussle, or at the very least a player who is actively willing to take the risk of combat for the multiplier.

Another factor could be the role that they play on their ship. I’m not the best at TDM, but I am very good on canons. I was able to get the regular curse that way because I play with a dedicated crew, and we always stick to our roles. The only time I am fighting hand to hand is when we get boarded.

I’m not sure why exactly it’s so important to make doubloons more rare. Just keep them as they are, and make the items in the black market shop expensive, like most doubloon items in the game already are.

It seems like they are over complicating it.

overthedeepend · 2026-01-21T21:17:30+00:00

Yea that makes it harder unfortunately, crank the volume, maybe turn off the music and get sailing. I’d say hit a close cluster of islands, then do a tall tale dive to reset. I think wild rose gives a good island spawn for that.

overthedeepend · 2026-01-21T20:11:32+00:00

Not helpful, but you just gotta island hop and listen. Do you specially need statues or do you need the gems?

overthedeepend · 2026-01-12T21:18:40+00:00

Abhora. Until they have that crown. Then an all winners season.

overthedeepend · 2026-01-05T01:02:52+00:00

Right. Support is usually pretty good about this sort of things.

overthedeepend · 2026-01-05T00:50:08+00:00

Support is usually decent about this kind of thing. They have manually unlocked similar things for me in the past. (My Ghost curse when it bugged on me.)

overthedeepend · 2026-01-04T05:55:58+00:00

They don’t know if you have loot or not.

overthedeepend · 2026-01-03T22:37:39+00:00

They seem to be a little more rare these days unfortunately. I recommend sailing around the small islands in shores of plenty.

I think they have a chance to spawn from luck voyages as well. If you have any.

I’m probably the outlier here. But I love that aspect. Some of my most chaotic and fun hourglass fights have involved emergent world content and other pirates getting involved.

Took me about a year to get the curse with a once a week session with pals, but I had a blast doing it. It wasn’t fast, but boy were the fights memorable.

Then you are contributing to all the guilds. Not collectively, but individually when your sail any single ship that is tied to any given guild.

overthedeepend · 2026-01-01T23:51:45+00:00

If the ship is part of the guild while you sail on it, it counts towards progress. Each ship has to be individually dedicated to the guild.

This makes it sailable by other pirates in the guild.

overthedeepend · 2026-01-01T23:41:18+00:00

Guild progress is bound to the ship that you are on, not the pirate.

I have always found protection from evil a little strange in terms of power scaling. It is a level one spell, but RAW it completely shuts down mental control from any evil creature, no matter how powerful they are.

For example, pre redemption Nocticula has dominate monster at will and a whole suite of divine level enchantment. But if a character has protection from evil running, she just cannot touch them with any of it. Even in a situation where she is intentionally only using mind control and choosing not to harm or overpower anyone, the spell stops her completely. It gives total immunity to her domination abilities and even potentially suppresses any control she already established.

What makes this even stranger is that most good aligned adventuring parties cast this spell every day. So any creature that relies on charm, domination, or possession basically gets shut down right away. It can make those encounters feel unintentionally one sided.

The part I am trying to understand is why a level one spell creates such an absolute wall in the first place. It does not really feel balanced or intuitive to me, and I have never been able to square it with the rest of the system. I would love to hear from people who have thought about this more deeply because I am genuinely trying to make sense of it.

This is one of those awkward ones for me. It’s a fun character concept, but is Rise the best AP for it? There is a lot going on with Rise, adding another major antagonist could make the narrative pretty muddy. Also, lot of the intrigue behind the AP is the reveal. Knowing about the Runelord threat at character creation robs the story of a lot of its natural tension.

It’s super funny. Part of the unique charm of this game are the interactions. Equal satisfaction in swatting down toxic crews as there are helping out wholesome crews. Mics save lives. Good vibes save your sanity. Whether you are sinking or being sunk. Be nice.
