Legends of Giving
Existing Pirate Legends will receive the Generous Gift Sails to signal peaceful and generous intentions when sailing the seas, as well as the Legends of Giving Emote, which will enable them to hand out a mysterious gift. Players who interact with this can then instantly claim the Obsidian Grapple Gun.
Every time a Pirate Legend gives a gift to a pirate who hasn’t received one before, they'll also progress the cumulative Community Spirit Goal. Once enough gifts have been shared everywhere across the seas and the goal is met, Precious Present Sails and the returning Precious Present Flag will unlock for all pirates who play during the Event.
