# Insider Patch Notes 2.6.3.6

Insider Update 2.6.3.6 is now live. The Rogue’s Legacy Adventure is back and ready for Insiders to test out once more, to get started chat to Larinna at any Outpost to see how you can help. The Sea of Bones is also still available to players to get involved in, to jump in, choose your Faction and unfurl your war map to get started.

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.

## Sea of Bones

**Sea of Bones Scale Test**

* Today is the day! Gather your crew, sharpen your blades, and prepare to put your PvP skills to the test and in return you will be handsomely rewarded when Season Eight launches in retail!
* The scale test will be split into two sessions; 4pm-7pm (UTC) and 11pm-2am (UTC). To take part players simply join a Faction of their choosing and unfurl their war map and dive into battle.
* Crews successful in battle during these scale test windows will earn one level of reputation in the represented Faction per win, up to a cap of five wins on each Faction. This reputation will be awarded to each player's main pirate in retail on the launch of Season Eight!

## Adventures

**‘The Rogue’s Legacy’**

* The Adventure has now been re-enabled for players to take part in. To get started simply head to any Outpost and chat to Larinna on what you can do to help.

## Gameplay Improvements

**Selling Trident of Dark Tides**

* Crews can now cash in a Trident of Dark Tides at their local Merchant, Sovereign or Hunter’s Call representatives in return for gold.

**Shipwreck Improvements**

* Sunken wrecks will now appear more frequently in areas of the sea between islands rather than the outer areas of the map, making them more easily discovered by crews during their journey.

## Known Issues

**Sea of Bones**

* Players can sometimes become locked in a black loading screen after resurfacing from beneath the waves for an invader vs invader battle or after losing a battle and being taken to the sinking wreck sequence.
* Some player’s may fail to be moved to the sinking wreck sequence after losing a battle, if they are arriving on the Ferry of the Damned at the end of the battle.
* Resource crates will be removed from player’s hands if they are holding them whilst selecting to cancel an invasion.

**‘The Rogue’s Legacy’**

* This is an early preview of the Adventure and therefore may contain placeholder imagery, models and text.
* Deeds are currently not working as intended and will therefore not track accordingly to player's progress. Due to this, players will currently not receive Mementos for finishing the Adventure.
* Players can sometimes experience server instability when sailing to or using the mermaid to teleport to Plunder Outpost.
* The Skeleton Guardian Briggsy on Sunken Grove can sometimes fail to appear when multiple crews are attempting the Adventure at the same time.
