Skeleton Troubles

Skelly activity has been on the rise since the “Dark Relics” Event, with new Skelly threats making themselves known.

Emergent Skeleton Ships

These threats finally return to the game after a long hiatus. Unlike the free roaming ships you’ll see around the seas, these will rise from the depths directly alongside your boat and attack you immediately. But solo-sloopers fret not, as they’ve been balanced with the addition of…

Skeleton Sloops

Previously only found within waves of skeleton ships in the Cursed Sail cloud encounters, Skeleton Sloops will now appear throughout the seas as wandering threats as well as emergent attackers. They have a higher chance of spawning emergently for players on a Sloop or a Brigantine, but can also appear for Galleon crews. Conversely, the emergent Skeleton Galleons favour player Galleons, but there is also the rare chance of them spawning for a Sloop or a Brigantine.

Ancient Skeletons

A new ambient island encounter, the Ancient Skeletons are dark blue with a golden skull, and a coin sack slung over their back. If you encounter one emerging from the soil, they’ll quickly turn tail and run- but they are worth chasing down! The reward for taking them out is a randomized amount of Ancient Coins, the exclusive currency of the Pirate Emporium shop. Catch them before they return to the dirt and are gone for good!

This is currently the only way to earn Ancient Coins without spending real life currency
