They also have a skull symbol on the map. These can only be found out on the map with giant streamers flowing upwards. Those items are Reapers Chests and Reapers Bounty, one is red with Reaper's symbols on it, while the other is yellow with the same markings. Only two items will give your map locations. So, hypothetically if you were to complete a Fort, there is a chance a Kraken will appear on your ship.Ī normal Fort doesn't have the items that you speak of.


I will point out this, Kraken only spawns inbetween Cloud events similar to this. There is no correlation between amount of loot and getting ships spawned on you. Were we legitimately just unlucky in our run ins today or were there some unknown/unseen numbers or details that I don't know about since i'm new? Was it just coincidence that the skeletons spawned? Or does the rate of their spawn increase with the more treasure in your hull?ĭid some of the treasure mark us on the map? How did those notorious pirate find us so bloody fast? It shattered us and of course turned out moods sour. the time spent re-spawning gave them ample time to sink our ship forcing us to spawn some where else and we lost our haul. Ultimately we had to turn and fight and while we fended them off mostly ok and managed to turn in a couple more things. I had my crew mate grab something and jump off ship while I circled the island with the sloop on my tail. So we sped to the outpost as fast as the wind would let us in hopes to be able to turn in at least a couple of our rewards. This took us far off course and we decided to hit Plunder's outpost instead only to immediately see another sloop behind up with one of those MASSIVE red long billowing pennant like flags that we've come to fear wholly and completely. So we manage to half sink them, blow up their powder keg, and then lost them among some high rocks. We'd already fended off 4 of the ships this day ( in the span of 6 hours mind you and 2 more of them managed to kill us earlier in the day cause one spanned WITH a Kraken!) We had no urge to fight anymore we were so tired and just wanted to turn our stuff in and log off for awhile. We turned for Ancient Spire Outpost and not even 60 seconds into our voyage back home did a skeleton crew arise to try and shred us to pieces. had it not been for the following chain of terror that occurred as soon as we set sail with out haul. It took us a moment to find the key, maybe a solid couple of minutes, and then I happened upon it and popped it into the lock to then be greeted by a sight for sore eyes. We took a moment to gather the few skulls from the bosses into one place so we wouldn't lose them and what do you know we lost the vault key in the process. OH! Sweet, it's kinda like a raid! Cool, so we did what we could and just the two of use managed to take down the Mutinous Helmsman.

That's when she read to us what we were to expect.

Luckily, around wave 9-ish we had a friend join our discord call and was looking stuff up for us on our behalf. My friend and I continued with the waves still with no idea what we were doing. not that long in to wave 3 maybe 4 of the skeletons once we were inside something happened to their ship and it was sent flying! ( literally, I mean I wish I had grabbed screen shots of this cause it was blasted into the air and cleared the whole island) This meant when they died they were sent somewhere and we don't know where. We didn't know what the goal was, what was going to happen, they just asked for an alliance and we said sure! Well. We 2 and our sloop teamed up with a couple of guys on a brigantine and took on Crow's Nest with no idea what we were actually doing. most days have been ok! Today though was just absolutely depressing and morale shattering. So, I and a friend have been playing for maybe a week now couple days have been rough with some pretty bad luck with being sunk by aggressive players. ( my raid took place on Crow's Nest Fort for future reference) But let me set up the scenario first. I have some questions about the Skeleton Forts, vaults and loot.
