# Insider Patch Notes 2.7.0.6

Insider Update 2.7.0.6 is now live. As the team works on some of those last minute touches ahead of our December update, Insiders have been given the opportunity to take part in another scale test. To participate, players simply need to join a faction and unfurl their war map to dive below the waves.

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.

## Battle for the Sea of Thieves

Ahead of December’s retail update the team need your support in helping verify an improvement to matchmaking. To help us verify this improvement, please join in the scale test!

**Migration PvP Scale Test**

* Gather your crew, sharpen your blades, prepare to put your PvP skills to the test and in return you can earn 50,000 Gold to your main account within a week of participating in the event.
* The Scale Test will be split into two sessions; 5pm-8pm (UTC) and 12am-3am (UTC). To get started players simply join a Faction of their choosing, unfurl their war map and dive into battle.
* In order to be handsomely rewarded gold players must take part in five battles within the time slots to be counted as having taken part.

**Battle for the Sea of Thieves - Battle Area**

* Crews surfacing from beneath the waves will now find the battle area for all three ship types have been reduced, bringing warring crews closer together during the fight.
* Ships passing out of bounds will now have much less time before their hourglass begins to suffer, turn back and protect the hourglass at all costs!

**Battle for the Sea of Thieves - Emissary Flags**

* Collected Emissary Flags will now be brought with the ship when diving below the waves, allowing crews to chain battles back to back before returning to an Outpost to cash them in.

**Battle for the Sea of Thieves - Restocking after Defeat**

* Crews who are thwarted by their enemy in Battle and become another sinking wreck for the graveyard, will now appear on the new server at an Outpost – allowing them to quickly restock and get back into the fight!

## Gameplay Improvements

**Starting Ship Supplies**

* All ships will now start a session with additional cannonballs per barrel, increasing the Sloop stock to 80, with Brigantine and Galleon stocking 90.
* Ship defensive stocks have been increased with additional wooden planks, with the Sloop and Brigantine now holding 35 planks and Galleon holding 40.
* Ships will now also find more plentiful food stocks; with all ships now holding 16 coconuts in addition to their existing banana supply.

## Adventures

**‘The Secret Wilds’**

* ‘The Secret Wilds’ Adventure has temporarily been disabled in Insiders while the team focus on the upcoming December retail update. This Adventure will return to Insiders in a future update.

## Fixed Issues

**Gameplay**

* Crews should no longer encounter scenarios where a Legend of the Veil voyage can fail due to a missing Quest item that was safely stored on a ship. 
* Crews should also no longer find treasure seemingly disappear while sailing.

**Battle for the Sea of Thieves**

* Crews diving beneath the waves should less frequently find themselves returned to an Outpost.
* Crews cashing in an Hourglass of Fate following a battle and earning Gold will now find the ‘Gold Earned’ Milestones progress.

* The Mysterious Stranger’s Gloves now match the gloves the character wears.

* Player's hands no longer intersect with various Torsos items when using Curse Emote Skeleton Klap
* All Ghosts within the Blessing of Athena cutscene now appear to be wearing ghostly clothes.
* All ghosts and members of the Athenas Fortune crew are now in sync during the blessing of Athenas Fortune cutscene.
* Players should no longer see multiple Krakens or Megalodons whilst travelling beneath the waves.

**Jettisoned Ship Supplies**

* Crews scuttling a ship will no longer release their resource barrels into the water, preventing them from being farmed by a crew.

**Captains of Adventure**

* Captains diving beneath the waves to Battle should now consistently find their saved customisations such as ship liveries and decorations persist between sessions.

* Harpoons on the Sovereign’s hut can no longer become stuck to the platform they are on and cause the floor to shake.

**Game Events**

* Players should now have the correct Grogmanay tankard in their equipment chests.

* Players can now buy singular emotes within the Festival of Giving emote bundle.

**New Golden Sands**

* Rainfall no longer passes through the buildings.
* The Seat of Thieves commendation now unlocks as intended when sitting next to another player in the tavern.

* Female pirates no longer float above seats when sitting on them. 
* Banners for Shops and the Emporium now trigger consistently.
* The Mysterious Stranger is no longer on the wrong side of the door when arriving at New Golden Sands at the start of a session.
* The Emporium shopkeeper no longer pops into existence when approaching the shop.
* Items on northeast side of the docking will no longer appear to float.

* Players who jump or walk over the top of the Barrel in the Tavern should no longer experience buffered movement. 
* Players should no longer be able to lose view of small objects when placed on curbs and stairs. 
* There will no longer be a visible texture seam on bridge pillar. 
* There will now be Christmas decorations on all Faction areas on the outpost.

**Pirate Emporium**

**Visual and Audio**

* After killing a pig, snake or chicken the audio for hitting them should no longer play repeatedly.

**Performance and Stability**

* Improved server stability to decrease the chances of players becoming disconnected from their session.
