Features
3.4.0
Search for Ancient Secrets Voyage
- The Reaper's Bones now offer an on-demand Voyage from the Quest Table: the Search for Ancient Secrets.
- This Voyage tasks crews with uncovering long-lost skeletons from the fabled Order of Bone and Blade and working with them to unearth Ancient Sarcophagi, while fighting back against Ancient Phantoms dead set on defending their secrets.
- Embarking on a Voyage for The Reaper's Bones will automatically raise a Reaper's Mark Flag on the ship, announcing your location to other crews via their Map Table.
Cannon of Rage
- The Cannon of Rage is a powerful portable cannon that can be positioned and redeployed for a wide range of tactical uses.
- Once deployed, it can be loaded and fired like a regular cannon, but with each shot fired the cannon generates heat and will need cooling down to prevent overheating. Players can delay their shots to allow the cannon to cool naturally, or douse it with water to speed up the process.
- The cannon will also overheat when taking damage, becoming a potential target for rival crews. Should the cannon reach critical heat levels, either through overuse or damage, it will result in a devastating explosion that damages anything nearby.
- These cannons can be found as a guaranteed reward within the Vaults of emergent Skeleton Forts, the Fort of Fortune and the Fort of the Damned. Crews may also find themselves lucky and discover them hidden in Sea Forts or washed up on beaches. Raid Voyages won't award these volatile contraptions, so keep an eye on the horizon for those events!
Skeleton Mercenaries
- Order of Bone and Blade Skeletons can now be found partially buried on islands across the Sea of Thieves, and will assist pirates who revive them. Crews can recover multiple allies as they explore, and may even uncover an Order of Bone and Blade Captain, a more formidable defender.
- As allies, the Order of Bone and Blade will join the fray to protect their adopted crew. While they can fall during a fight, they can also be revived to rejoin the battle. But be warned that these mercenaries will side with whoever revives them, even if that's a rival crew!
- These mercenaries will follow and assist the adopted crew on their island adventures. However, their bones are bound to the island where they're found, so they're unable to accompany pirates on their onward journey!
Reaper's Chest Value
- The Reaper's Bones are seeking the power held within the Reaper's Chest and Reaper's Bounty to fulfil their needs, and now award increased gold and reputation to crews delivering these to The Reaper's Hideout.
Reapers Rising Commendations and Rewards
- A range of new Reapers Rising Commendations have been added within the Reputation tab to challenge pirates. Explore the challenges under the Reaper's Bones and Bilge Rat Commendation tabs in the Pirate Log.
- The Reaper's Bones representatives now offer access to Reaper's Bones weapons, clothing and equipment unlocked through their Commendations. These items will arrive over the course of the Season.
- Servants of the Flame can earn access to new Skeleton Curse cosmetics through the Bonesmith, unlocking the Skull, Upper and Lower Body parts for the Order of Bone and Blade and Captain variants along with the Rusted Raw Bones.
- The Outpost shipwrights offer two new items for Captains, in the form of the 'Essence of Red Death' and 'Resurrection of Secrets' Ornaments.
- Reapers tackling the new Pirate Milestone within the Voyager alignment can unlock access to the new 'Digging for Victory' Painting.
