As always, if you encounter any bugs, then please head to the

Known Issues
‘Lost Sands’
Crews choosing the Servant’s Quest will find the quest does not progress once players reach the nearby rowboat leaving players unclear on how to proceed -
Insiders should therefore continue to focus on Merrick’s quest at this stage
- Players cannot progress the Servant of the Flame's Chapter beyond Reaper's Hideout - Please avoid this Chapter altogether, this will be available in a future build
- Players beginning the Adventure from Larinna will not receive a note, directing them to their next location. Head to Golden Sands to find Merrick to complete the chapter.
- Merrick will not currently accept full Wood or Fruit Crates from players.
- Crews migrating across servers while the Adventure is active will stop players from being able to progress the Adventure.
- The Adventure contains a range of placeholder artwork, imagery and text. The team are not currently looking for feedback on these clear placeholder areas of the experience.
Applying Decorations & Saving Ship Liveries
- Permanently applying ship liveries to a Captain Ship currently causes client instability. Saving Ship Liveries and Applying Decorations have therefore been disabled in this build.
