Cursed effects

The location of the Reaper's Bounty is indicated by a Golden Skull Icon on the Map Table.

The Reaper's Bounty is cursed with the Reaper's Mark, causing its location to be tracked on a Map Table indicated by a gold & white Reaper's Mark map marker. If the Reaper's Bounty spawns on a shipwreck or is dug up, it will emit a swirling beacon of golden light. This beacon will persist even after it is picked up and will follow it wherever it goes. The high value and visibility of the Reaper's Bounty make players transporting them easy targets.

Notes

  • Picking up and placing a Reaper's Bounty on a Ship for the first time gives Emissary Grade Reputation to Emissary Ships representing the Reaper's Bones.
  • Reaper's Bounty emit a White Glint from a distance.
  • Reaper's Bounty can be caught with a Harpoon.

  • There have to be at least 3 Crews in a server for a Reaper's Bounty to have a chance to spawn at a shipwreck.
  • A Reaper's Bounty may spawn inside a random Shipwreck every hour after the server start time. This is a good indicator of global Barrels respawns as well that replenish their contents every 30 minutes.

  • It is possible to find more than one Reaper's Bounty in a single Shipwreck.
  • Up to 5 combined Reaper's Bounty & Reaper's Chests have been spotted to spawn at the same time.
