# Insider Patch Notes 2.8.6.4

Insider Update 2.8.6.4 is now live. Alongside unlocking a multitude of new Commendations for Guilds of Gold, Reapers Bones and Rowboats, players can take on the challenge of ‘The Skull of Siren Song’ once again in this Insider build. ‘The Skull of Siren Song’ voyage is shared amongst every crew on the seas, inviting everyone to opt into a communal experience, however, there is only one reward, and thus only one crew who can be crowned victorious!

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.

## Guilds of Gold

**Guilds Tutorial Pages **

* Within the Info and Tips section there will now be several pages around Guilds. These pages will give players valuable information on how to create a Guild and all the things you can do/get involved in as a Guild.

**Guilds of Gold Commendations  **

* Players can now find a number of new Commendations and titles for you to unlock in Guilds of Gold! These Commendations are all about Guild Emissaries, Distinctions and the important roles players have on the ship. Get ready to sail the seas, unlock some amazing achievements, and show off your skills to your fellow pirates!

**Rowboat Revelry Commendations **

* Rowboat enthusiasts can celebrate the arrival of the new themed Rowboats with several new Commendations to unlock. Hunt for each different Rowboat Livery and you'll earn yourself some amazing new Commendations and even a fancy title!

**Reapers Bones Commendations **
