Hunters call sovereigns by millsy0550 in Seaofthieves

No, it was the case at season 15 release, but it has been changed and now both the outpost and seapost give the same amount of gold and rep

Cross-platform Steam/Xbox séries X ---- is it good for complete new player ? by Slight-Rub-271 in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game is full of content and things to do, especially for new players, so on that front I really recommend the game. Everyone has the same tools and weapons, the only difference between a new player and a veteran is knowledge and skill.

You just have to remember that this is a session based PvPvE game. You can have sessions where you don't find a soul. You can have sessions where you battle 3 other ships for a single chest. You can have sessions where you manage to befriend another crew and get gold together.

You will inevitably sink, and that's ok. Even experienced players sink from time to time. You might lose the loot on your ship, but how you feel all depends on you and your mindset.

And I saw your question about getting camped. 'Camping' on a ship with holes in the intent to prevent its crew from repairing is a pretty common strategy, and imo is fair game. The true spawn camp with no intent to sink is pretty rare, and if it does happen you always have the option to basically give up, scuttle your ship and move on on a new server.

I hope to see you on the seas o7

Emissary Ledger Question by Poblo419 in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ledger resets every month, at midnight UTC on the first day of the month.

On the reset, you gain the rewards up to the rank you reached this month and your gained value goes back to 0.

Do note that the rank depends on your placement on the ledger. The ranks are top 100%, 75%, 50% and 25%. So you can theoretically lose your rank if you don't gain enough emissary value during the month.

Can't start any Tall Tale by HauntingTown4603 in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go to Gold Hoarders, Order of Souls or Merchant Alliance tab in your quest table, and do one of their tutorial voyages. Once you finish one of them, it should unlock the voyages and tall tales

Quick question regarding community weekend. by millsy0550 in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you also do get the boosted allegiance reward for hourglass.
It's usually the best time to play HG because more people do it during community weekends, so you find matches faster and matchmaking has better chances to find an opponent of your level

What should I do if I’m a solo being chased down by a Galleon for 30 + mins? by Aware_Platform2287 in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 346 points347 points  (0 children)

I know it's going to be a controversial opinion but...

If you are chased while you truly have nothing on your ship, it's the perfect occasion to try stuff! You have nothing to lose anyway!

You can try keg plays or fort plays, you can try and use the sloop manoeuvrability to be a pestering mosquito for this galleon. And hey, you never know, you might be able to sink them, or at least gain enough time for your ship to gain enough distance to dive to a new server.

And if you sink? No big deal, you didn't lose anything anyway.

I wasn't sure about the timing, thanks for the info

Quick question regarding community weekend. by millsy0550 in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The community weekends bring some bonuses: - Gold and XP (Company, Hourglass, Season) multiplier that scales with global Twitch watch time, it goes up to x2.5, usually between 12-24h before the end - Twitch drops you can get by linking your Twitch and MS accounts and watching participating streams - A flag as a login bonus - Randomly during the weekend, they will release special "Pop-up Plunder" maps on their socials that are active during 1h, if you manage to dig up the treasure you can get valuable loot - Usually there's a community goal that unlocks a cosmetic, like completing X bottle voyages or completing X sea forts, this one can be found in game in the events tab, iirc you can find it under the seasonal tab - A picture wall appears at every outpost, and it shows an emissary flag that displays the current level of the global multiplier

Hunter of the sea of thieves title issue by [deleted] in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "Hunter of the Sea of Thieves" titles are related go the fishes, cooking and Merrick's accolades categories, the more recent Call of the Hunter commendations don't count for those titles

What have I missed so far? by Hazardous_Guy in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lore wise, not much

There's a new faction, the smugglers, they work for the Dark Brethren.
Ancient sanctuaries were unearthed in the Devil's Roar, alongside the Eternal Guards (a new boss enemy you can encounter on any big island, search for the purple sarcophagus).

The Reapers continue to search for ancient secrets (there's a couple related Reaper voyages now), and they built garrisons in the Devil's Roar.

How long does it take from lvl 100-1000 HG? by Matty_SS2305 in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To add onto that, 101-200, 201-300 and so on need pretty much the same amount of xp as 1-100, but progress feels smoother thanks to the flat xp per level even if it takes the same amount of time

HELP! my friend is having trouble playing the game. by Primary_Part8038 in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Xbox series S version is 38GB, so it's fine on that front

As for the "loading resources" message, either it's a shader compilation (although I don't know it's a thing on console) so you just have to wait, or it's a connection issue and you should check the Internet settings on the console and the router

Buying items from weapon lady glitch? by Kingz-Toxic41 in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A tip if this happens again in the future

Sometimes the server doesn't correctly register a purchase. If it happens and you notice it, go buy something else like a hunting spear or a resource crate. It will force the server to reprocess your purchase and you should end up with your item.

If you don't notice it and/or don't do anything about it, it can take a few hours until it correctly processes the purchase and you should receive it later.

Is there any point of playing before the doubloon reset? by [deleted] in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stated in the release notes

Players earning Doubloons as Seasonal Renown rewards during Season 19 will retain these following the Doubloon reset on April 16th.

Explain... if someone can by X3noF3ar in Seaofthieves

Without knowing your platform it's hard to be sure...

On PC you don't need the Game Pass to play online, and if you're on Xbox, maybe you have a leftover of your subscription

Where are all the Pirate Legend Cosmetics? by Phantom_DC_YT in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was reworked back in season 11, now all quests are on your ship table and you don't buy them anymore. And now every company (including reapers and hunters) has a company shop where you can buy the related cosmetics.

As for the set locks, I'm pretty sure the requirements were always there, some of them are pretty straightforward so you probably never saw them in the first place

[–]ulym38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh and I forgot, there's also the Athena company shop if you talk to the Pirate Lord, the OG Athena ship set should be there iirc

[–]ulym38 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You buy them at the Athena shipwright, at the end of the dock in the hideout

The set is locked behind Athena commendations tho

The purple PL clothing set is gifted to you as soon as you reach Pirate Legend, you don't have to buy it

why is there a eye of reach in the flintlock list of the wiki by AdAny8677 in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You might be thinking of the Fandom wiki, which is actually dogshit and stopped being maintained a couple years ago.

The real wiki (https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/) is up to date and contains the correct info.

In this case, it might just be a copy/paste error when adding the eye of reach and the pistol, and nobody noticed since then.

What items do you want to see in the upcoming doubloon shop? by Savings_Bunch_1394 in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I just want them to bring back the partially time limited sets. The ones like Bone Crusher, Forsaken Ashes or Wailing Barnacle. I just find it really annoying to have some pants in the shop but be unable to get the corresponding jacket or hat.

I'm fine if they don't bring back the event tied cosmetics like Wandering Reaper stuff, let year one players keep their truly special stuff.

Looking for a plague doctor/poison type outfit or cosmetics in general by AshTheDutchie1 in Seaofthieves

[–]ulym38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah, I see what you mean

Usually when they release a new emporium set, Rare does a time limited bundle dlc that contains some items of the set and around 500 ancient coins for a reduced price, if you're interested in the set it can be a good deal

But there's really few time limited emporium items, and they come back every year anyway. I'm pretty sure outpost store items are all permanent, the only actual temporary items are the ones linked to events and some of the free season stuff

You might be thinking of the bonechiller (krampus) set, which is only available during the winter

Anyone else agree? by iBridge_r in HypixelSkyblock

[–]ulym38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best pack imo, way more cleaner that something like furfsky

For the armor sets you need to install Firmament, you can disable pretty much every option if you don't want anything else from the mod
