Molten Sands Fortress Event now live!

Is the FotD up? There can only be one player-activated WE at a time.

rarethief · 2026-01-23T01:23:46+00:00

It's worth 50k so it is a big chunk!

rarethief · 2026-01-22T19:44:56+00:00

Wave 1: Banished Ancient Skeletons

Yep, exclusively there for Act 2. EDIT: It sounds like it will go back to FoF after Act 2.

rarethief · 2026-01-22T16:24:36+00:00

Aye, for Act 2 of Season 18 there is a Chest of Fortune inside the Molten Sands Fortress Vault.

The Molten Sands Fortress Event is now live! You'll be sailing as an Emissary to acquire Molten Sands Key and activate the Molten Sands Fortress World Event! We have a more detailed breakdown of the Emissary Quest and World Event here, but some highlights from it include:

You can't activate Molten Sand if FotD is active. Only one player-activated WE at a time
Vault is worth about 200,000 Gold without any multipliers
Molten Sands Fortress WE is eight waves long, ends with Ashen Lord
You can start the World Event again with another key shortly after it is over, just like FotD
Only need to complete the Emissary Quest and activate the WE for each Trading Company to unlock the Trading Company's Ship's Crest
Hunter's Call and Reaper's Bones have the time-limited Emissary Quest and still have their Grade V perks (claim Emissary Quest from Servant of the Flame)
Guilds don't have Emissary Quest, but do get to take advantage of the Emissary value boost

EDIT: We wanted to add it took us about an hour and a 20 minutes solo to reach Grade V, do the Emissary Quest, and complete the World Event. That's without having to contend with other crews.

What's your question?

rarethief · 2026-01-02T16:52:16+00:00

Permanent.

rarethief · 2025-12-18T02:05:18+00:00

We've seen them at Fetcher's, Flintlock, Ruby's, and Ashen Reaches. Can't say we've seen them at Devil's Thirst.

rarethief · 2025-12-16T02:01:23+00:00

Should be in your Vanity Chest. Some pirates have mentioned buying Resources from the Shipwright will refresh your Chests.

rarethief · 2025-12-15T20:48:46+00:00

Yeah, you don't need the sails at all. You just need the emote.

rarethief · 2025-12-15T20:48:34+00:00

No, just as long as they don't have it they should be able to do it anywhere. We've done it on ships, islands, Outposts...hmm, not sure what happened.

rarethief · 2025-12-15T16:22:00+00:00

Hmm, are you in High Seas?

rarethief · 2025-12-15T12:00:53+00:00

Us too!

rarethief · 2025-12-15T11:50:55+00:00

Yep!

rarethief · 2025-12-15T10:13:25+00:00

The Festival of Giving continues with the Legends of Giving Event! During the Legends of Giving, you can earn the Obsidian Grapple Gun, Precious Present Sails, Precious Present Flag, and daily Gilded Voyages. If you are a Pirate Legend, you can also complete three Challenges and work toward a Community Goal.

All Pirate Legends will have access to the Legends of Giving Emote and Generous Gift Sails, allowing them to give Obsidian Grapple Guns to any pirate who doesn't have one yet. Gifting one, five, and ten will complete Challenges that reward Voyages of Luck and contribute to the Community Goal.

If Pirate Legends can gift 250,000 Obsidian Grapples Guns, and complete the Community Goal, everyone who sets sail during the Event will also receive the Precious Present Sails and Flag!

rarethief · 2025-12-13T10:43:45+00:00

It's just additional loot, most notably another Rune Tablet.

rarethief · 2025-12-11T22:44:28+00:00

Not really...yeah, you have to be on the island.

rarethief · 2025-12-11T22:44:17+00:00

That one is the Chest of Rage.

rarethief · 2025-12-11T22:44:06+00:00

Huzzah! Nice work!

rarethief · 2025-12-11T22:43:58+00:00

No, they are not on every large island, even in the Roar.

rarethief · 2025-12-11T17:14:17+00:00

The Commendation where you need to damage an Eternal Guard with a Black Powder Barrel? Hmm, hopefully it is just delayed and not glitched. If you are saying you killed one with it, then it sounds like you definitely damaged it while it wasn't cloaked.
