# Insider Patch Notes 2.0.8.2

The latest Insider build is here! We’ve got new features, new fixes and new things for you to test. Full patch notes are below. Enjoy!

## Insider Patch Notes - Update  2.0.8.2

Insider Update 2.0.8.2 is now live! With updates to The Seabound Soul Tale, fire and the introduction of our next wave of Pirate Emporium goods, there’s plenty for Insiders to sink their teeth into!

Insiders will also receive a range of currency when logging into this build in order to test the new content - expect a bundle of Gold, Doubloons and Ancient Coins to land in your wallets!

If you do encounter any bugs, then please head to the 
[Sea of Thieves support site](https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb) and let our Player Support team know.

## Seabound Soul

* **Devil’s Roar Tale Balancing** – During the Seabound Soul Tale, earthquakes and volcanoes will no longer trigger on islands you're questing on.

## Fire

* **Firebomb Inventory** – Players’ resource inventory now displays how many Firebombs the player is holding and how close they are to having a full inventory.
* **Protect the Cargo!** – Rum cargo crates can now be damaged when they're in fire or when carried by a player that is on fire!
* **What’s that smell?** – For the absent-minded pirates, cooking on a ship now becomes a little more treacherous. Leaving food burning on the stove for several minutes is now guaranteed to set the ship on fire!

## Pirate Emporium

The November update to the Pirate Emporium is in a very early stage of Development, including a large amount of placeholder artwork and text. Check the Known Issues section of the Patch Notes before leaving feedback on work in progress areas of the Emporium!

* **Festival of Plenty** – The Pirate Emporium opens its doors to celebrate our first ‘Festival of Plenty’! With a range of festival-themed player instruments as well as outfits for all the pets, there’s something for everyone to celebrate with their crew! These ‘Festival of Plenty’ items are time-limited for the Seabound Soul update, snatch them before they return to the vault.
* **Cockatoos and Marmosets!** – The Skeleton Cockatoo and Marmoset have now returned to the mist, however, fear not – their real-life counterparts have entered the Pirate Emporium! Head to the pet section of the Emporium to find a range of colourful crested Cockatoos and sleek agile Marmosets! With the introduction of these new breeds, both Bilge Rat and Sea Dog outfits are available for both animals!
* **Sovereign Pet Outfits** – Introducing a more regal look for your loyal companion, each pet can now dress with distinction and don the new Sovereign outfits. Go to the pet section of the Pirate Emporium to purchase an outfit before heading to the Pet Chest to equip it.
* **Sovereign Discount Bundles** – For this month only, you can pick up discounted bundles for the Cockatoo and Marmoset, each dressed in a regal Sovereign outfit. 
* **Huntress Ship Collection** – Prepare for a perfectly dark ensemble! Freshly sourced from the Carrington Institute of Pirate Ship Design comes a ship representing Perfect Dark; the ‘Huntress Ship Collection’. A Huntress Ship Bundle is also on offer which includes all the regular ship cosmetics at a stealthy discount!
* **Dance Emote Bundle** – So you can sail, fight, steal and shoot – but the real question is, can you dance? Pick up the Dance Emote Bundle for a range of mesmerising dance emotes to ensure your crew know who’s the best dancer!
* **Admiral Persona Bundle** – Always felt a little superior, more refined than those scruffy pirates around you? Pick up the Admiral Persona Bundle providing a fresh new set of core emotes, with a whole new level of class!
* **Emote Variety Bundle** – A range of new emotes have been added for the Variety Pack 3 Bundle! Tell crewmates how you really feel with the ‘I Love You’ or voice your frustration in the most expressive way possible as you sail towards that sea rock with the new ‘Despair’ Emote amongst a range of other new!

## Updates

* **Emergent Collector's Chests with Rewards!** – Players have been scouring the world and uncovering Collector’s Chests, washed up on beaches and even hidden in shipwrecks. Those empty Collector’s Chests will now be packed full of rewards! With the chance to find a range of valuable reward items, and even Gold that can be collected straight from the chest into your crew’s wallets – head out there and hunt them out!
* **Fort Collector’s Chests!** – Collector’s Chests packed full of rewards and Gold have now been added inside the vaults of Skeleton Forts. The Fort of the Damned even receives a full Collector’s Chest with a range of valuable rewards in addition to all the previous Fort rewards!

## The Arena

* **Arena Maps and ‘X’s Change** - When you are given maps, you will only ever be given 1, 2 or 3 maps. The number of X’s per map has also been slightly decreased, although there still is a tiny chance to get a jackpot amount of X’s, which you may never have seen as it is very rare! This means there will always be less islands with treasure on than crews, encouraging ships to come together and compete over limited resources.
* **Arena Spawn point Changes** - In line with the increased likelihood that there will be less maps to choose from, we have replaced several "clockface" layout starting points - as these could feel unfair in a one map scenario - with fairer layouts.

## Fixed Issues
