- Throughout this event players will be given a new challenge every day starting Friday 23rd July to Sunday 8th August. From Monday the 9th of August players will be able to complete previous deeds they may have missed and for this Insider’s build, all deeds will be available to complete.

Known Issues
The Pirate Games
- There is a range of placeholder imagery and text.
Pet Naming
- Players on Xbox are unable rename their pets within the Pet Chest.
Tunnels of the Damned – Rejoining a Session
- While travelling through the Tunnels of the Damned, losing your connection to the game and rejoining may cause visual issues and cause the migration to the new area to fail, returning you to your starting location.
Players falling through their Ship
- After starting a Tall Tale, there is a chance that the crew will be unable to board their ship and will fall through the geometry into the sea. Players experiencing this issue should leave the game and start a new session.
Plunder Pass Reward Unlocking Issue
- Players who have purchased the Season Three Plunder Pass may find that rewards are not immediately unlocked when the appropriate level of seasonal progression is reached. Logging out and back in should resolve this and cause the unlocked item to appear in the relevant chest.
New Tall Tale Commendations – Tale Visibility
- Players can browse Commendations for ‘The Sunken Pearl’ and ‘Dark Brethren’ Tall Tales before they have completed the preceding Tale. To prevent the experience from being spoiled, avoid reading ahead!
Ranged and Melee Weapon Hit Detection
- In areas of intense action, players may find themselves firing shots or landing strikes that do not cause damage to their targets. While improvements continue to be delivered during our content updates, this remains a key priority for the team.
