# Insider Patch Notes 2.5.0.7

Insider Update 2.5.0.7 is now live. As we approach our April update, we are now limiting the feature set to those being delivered as part of this build. The listed Known Issues have continued to be worked on ahead of our final retail release.

As always, if you 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.

## Adventures

**‘Shrouded Deep’ Technical Test Encounter Balancing**

* The battle now takes place closer the Killer Whale location, where the Shrouded Ghost will now stay closer to the wreck and attack ships nearby rather than being gradually pulled out to sea.
* The Shrouded Ghost no longer frequently switches target and races to catch up with distant ships when multiple crews are in the encounter.
* Player ships that sail through Ghost Ships now take reduced hull damage.

## Legend of the Veil

**Expanded Athena’s Fortune Ranks & Rewards**

* Pirate Legends are now able to continue progressing through the Athena’s Fortune Trading Company up to rank 30. As players progress through these new ranks, they can unlock access to ancient rewards from the Legendary Shipwright, with the Veil of the Ancients Flag, Hull, Sail, Cannons, Capstan, Wheel and Figurehead.

**Legend of the Veil Reward Balancing**

* Following Insider’s feedback, Athena’s Fortune treasure earned through the various Quests on the Voyage has now been rebalanced. Crews will find additional treasure items from Shipwreck Graveyards, Haunted Islands, Haunted Forts and Puzzle Map Quests.

**Haunted Island Balancing**

* Soulflame Captains encountered during the ritual will now have the ability to summon reinforcements and now provide a balanced encounter for all crew sizes.

## Known Issues

**‘Shrouded Deep’**

* The Shrouded Deep Adventure continues to be in an early stage of development and the team is only seeking feedback on the final battle triggered by Graymarrow’s orders at this stage.

* When starting the encounter from Graymarrow’s orders on the Killer Whale, both Merrick and Belle will be duplicated and be found in their idle poses and on the nearby cannons.

**Legend of the Veil**

* After starting the Voyage, when leaving the ship behind to progress the quest players may find that the Veil of the Ancients is missing from their ship on return halting progress. Players can return the Veil of the Ancients by sinking their ship and heading to the new ship.
* Crews migrating servers during the Voyage can cause various issues preventing progress.

**Merchant Alliance Resource Crates**

* Purchasing a resource or Firework crate from the Merchant Alliance representative and attempting to redeem it will hide the tooltip, however not provide the purchased crate.

## Fixed Issues

**Gameplay**

* While active on a Trading Company Voyage, voting to begin a Tall Tale checkpoint will no longer attempt to cancel the Voyage.

**‘Shrouded Deep’ Technical Test**

* Belle and Merrick are no longer incredibly accurate when firing at their targets.
* During the fourth wave of the encounter, Ghost Ships now appear consistently and are repelled by the Blackwyche.
* Players can no longer use the cannons that Merrick and Belle are using during the final encounter.
* Belle and Merrick no longer appear in ghostly form when using the cannons.

* Merchant Alliance Voyages no longer direct players to a delivery at the wrecked Killer Whale.

**Legend of the Veil Voyage**

* Veil Stones slotted into the Veil of the Ancients no longer become invisible after a player’s death.
* While active on a Legend of the Veil Voyage, voting to begin a Tall Tale will now inform players the Voyage will be cancelled.

* With the Veil of the Ancients attached to the ship, players can now move near the mask without their movement stuttering.
* Sudds is now located on Devil’s Thirst when crews are directed to that island during a Picture Map Quest.

**Legend of the Veil – Haunted Islands**

* Ritual Phantoms now have appropriate visual effects when emerging.

**Legend of the Veil – Shipwreck Graveyard**

* Resolved text issues within the Shipwreck Graveyard quest book pages.
* Items dropped by players while within the Shipwrecks no longer float towards the surface.
* Crews progressing through the Legend of the Veil Voyage at the same time on a server should no longer cause two Shipwreck Graveyard sites to be located in the same spot.

**Legend of the Veil – Haunted Forts**

* Fort Emplacements now release Storage Crates of the Damned when destroyed.
* Emergent threats such as Kraken, Megalodons and Skeleton Ships can no longer surface around an active Fort encounter.
* Phantom cannoneers should no longer appear below the rampart floors.

* Leaving and returning to an active Haunted Fort encounter should no longer cause visual effects to fail to display, or restart.
* The tornado visual effects will now appear earlier on approach and the tornado itself can be seen from a much further distance away.

**Environment**

* While exploring the Athena's Fortune Hideout, pets should no longer become blocked by invisible barriers when leaving the waterfall cave entrance.

* Treasure can no longer be placed in locations within the Reaper’s Hideout that prevent any player from accessing it.
* Capstan mechanisms found in a range of Tall Tales to allow access to new areas will now once again allow players to interact with them to progress and appear with their correct textures.

**Visual and Audio**

* With a HDR supported setup, the HDR Calibration settings page no longer causes UI elements to overlap when resetting settings to default.
