Insider Patch Notes 3.9.0.5
Insider Update 3.9.0.5 brings the Festival of the Damned back to the seas!
Live Events
Festival of the Damned
- Insiders can preview the upcoming Festival of the Damned Event from Friday, October 2nd 10:00 UTC to Tuesday 6th October 10:00 UTC.
- All players have been granted the Soulflame Mask to their Clothing Chests; wearing this mask while taking on the Fort of the Damned will attract Soulflame Skeletons, which will attempt to flee once spotted. The more pirates wearing the mask will attract more skeletons so bring a friend!
- Defeating a Soulflame Skeleton rewards Doubloons and progress to every eligible player present at the Fort of the Damned, encouraging crews to work together rather than compete for the final blow.
- During the event, pirates have a chance of finding a Megastash within the vault at the Fort of the Damned, which rewards a Doubloon Crate, Chests of Fortune and other valuable treasures.
- All players have also been granted the Bucket o' Candy emote to their clothing chest. When performed with other pirates, they can choose a piece of goulish confectionary which when consumed could cause any number of effects - some treats, some tricks!
- While the Festival of Damned is active, pirates are tasked with two goals. The Community Spirit goal challenges players to share goulish confections with others to unlock the Spiritfire Makeup, and a personal goal to defeat Soulflame Skeletons to unlock the Candlelight of the Damned Lantern.
