Flags of Friendship
Introducing a new event! Having noticed lots of new visitors to the Sea of Thieves, Larinna wants to make the seas a little more welcoming for them by encouraging pirates to take out some of the more dangerous threats and form Alliances!
- Players will be tasked with seeking out significant threats on the seas – from Krakens and Megalodons, to active Forts and Ashen Lords. Clearing these threats will reward crews with Favour, dependent on the threat defeated.
- Additional Favour for many of these actions will be earned if crews happen to complete them while in an Alliance.
We will offer a long-term challenge that ticks up when players place items of loot on another crew’s ship and players will be rewarded with gold for every loot item of theirs that another crew sells.
The rewards players will have the opportunity to earn are a Scar, Makeup, Tattoo and two Titles.
Map Migration Technical Test
This Insider build re-enables the early technical test of Map Migration. Head to the Outpost to find a temporary Tale and venture into the ominous new rock formations to arrive at Old Sailor Isle!
Insiders can once again earn Doubloons for helping support this technical test – head to this
feedback thread to learn more!
