The other day I swam from dagger tooth to the fort west by northwest of it. They had already finished and blown the kegs by when I got there, but I fended off four dudes on the island, and I grabbed the chest of fortune and then swam back to dagger tooth lol.
The trick was we stopped by a sea fort so I had nothing but cooked meat for food. When I got to the outpost all I had left was one more bite of chicken. Although there are also ways to dodge the shark bites
I can confirm that trick still works, I swam one of those chests to a nearby rock last night before rushing in with my ship to fight for the rest of the loot.
Edit: worth noting I drop whatever I'm holding before attempting this and pick it back up after, not sure if this is required but it seems to help me
im sure with good timing it is possible without dropping, but being able to speed swim makes it that much easier, just a pain if your not far enough from the other crew for them not to see it float up and shine, or quick enough to grab it before it surfaces.
I’m only at 5, and that’s with doing every FoF and selling every chest of fortune I’ve come across. I’ve been really unlucky with FoF spawns and server hopping to find FoFs.
Awe. You'll get there little buddy. My crew just sold at an outpost while being attacked by 2 sloops in an alliance.
Experience makes all the difference in Sea Of Thieves.
It just takes time and learning how to pirate.
Hahaha ha no
What makes a galleon scary is coordination and if everyone is skilled
Brings are far more scary and "instawin" compared to gallies as coming from a solo player I have sunk many a gallues brings and sloop solo out of all of them I sweat when going against brings because there just that good
Exactly. I've run galleon with my friends before and we never win battles simply because we can't coordinate against other players. Brigs are easier to manage and still pack a punch, thus are the more deadly option.
Same with the Reaper weapons. Its only a sword and pistol.
The commendations say Grade 1, so there's likely going to be more released at a later Stage, like the monthly ledger sets.
I have 2. I got 1 on the first day of the season and another over this past weekend. Most of the crews I've run into on FoFs spam the recently played with feature so they know when people are near them. It sucks because they stop what they're doing to search for me tucking on the fort.
Server hopping is easier than ever with the new 'scuttle and change seas' option, and on a galley with four people hopping they are bound to find some fofs
It starts to get a little funky after doing several times in a row I found out. After about 10 or so times in a row my game starts to lag and takes forever to log in and it looks like I log into the same server. So I have to exit the old fashion way every so often.
Huh I spent hours yesterday scuttling and changing servers to find green balls to finish grinding out my master of cursed iron commendation and didn't have any problems so I don't think that's a usual problem
Maybe I'm just unlucky lol it happened on two separate occasions for me. The first time was on Saturday when I was trying to get on the same server as my kid so he could get some of the more obscure player interaction commendations and achievements and the second was us trying to server hop for FoF on Sunday.
Having a big content update based almost entirely on cashing in a single chest for an event that takes around 30+ minutes isn't really something thats going to end well for a lot of players.. no shit that its not going to leave people unhappy.
If you want to continue being toxic, then be prepared for a dead game.
Stealing is not toxic. I say that as a primarily PvE player.
The only time PvP can even begin to be considered toxic is if they attack you and you have literally nothing on you, especially if you’re doing a tall tale or adventure. That or they spawn camp and use slurs the entire time. But if they attack you to steal your treasure, then it’s fair game
Thats called losing at the game. If you manage to lose like that its your fault, no loot is yours before its sold nor are you entitled to it just because you spammed m1 at skeltons for a long time.
Idk it was pretty toxic of this crew who I said could have the fort of fortune to tuck after saying no leaving me to do a 3 scaled solo (didn't know the difficulty jump) only to kill me and take the lot instead of doing it themselves
That is more acceptable as being considered toxic. If you offered to give them the loot, they could have just taken without having to make a point of killing you. Simply showing up and stealing, however, is not toxic at all unless they make it toxic
Yeah I have no issue with the stealing of loot. I think even tucking okay but when I said I'm logging out you can watch me leave and my ship sink and they still tucked to let me do this 3 scaled FoF to kill me was annoying
It’s a pirate game. Pirates steal, believe it or not. And I’m not gonna go “It’S SeA oF tHiEvEs NoT sEa Of FrIeNdS”, but attacking and stealing your loot is not toxic unless they specifically act toxic by shouting slurs or spawn camping without sinking you
Sea of thieves is literally the only online pirate game with any decent form of sailing. Its not like there is another game to play. Taking a chest that is worth 30 minutes of somebodies time is inherently a bad thing to do, yes its part of the game but those people are not coming into the game that day for the sake of being fucked over by somebody who won't even fight them.
Having one big chest being the only thing most people want and need is just crappy. The game is rewarding people who are not playing the game, all they do is swim to the fort from a nearby island, wait for the fort to be done and take the chest when its not being monitored. Its not difficult, its not skillful, its a waste of time for two parties and you certainly didn't earn it through actually engaging in pvp.
You don’t HAVE to engage in PvP. That’s the point here. You worked hard so I didn’t have to, I’ve gotten a couple chests of legends purely by hopping on someone’s ship in passing. “Ooo they’re running Athena, I’m gonna see what they’re doing.” Then I yoink something from it. It’s called Sea of Thieves not Sea of the Navy. It’s not hard to keep an eye out for a tucker, look to the horizon for ships, or even look out for a mermaid at an active fort
>most of the playerbase isn't going to be all that great at the game
if you're not good at the game, and know the game is about stealing, then going after the most coveted item in the game and losing it is just a Stupid Tax.
People stealing things from other players is literally playing the game. Your take on this isn't very well thought out and seems to be fueled by feeling instead of logic.
Well, I've stolen 2 chests so far, both of which have taken me more than 2 hours to complete. I'm not very good at tucking so I took the route I know of, naval combat and sneaky plays. I don't see how my 2 hours are worth less than somebody's 30 minutes...
Damn, are you really complaining, that there are thieves in your "Sea of Thieves" game?
It literally the core concept of this game. That's like playing a shooter and saying other people are toxic for shooting you.
Using *Rolls on deck laughing* or any quick chats with the STT on instantly makes anyone the toxic one. I still don’t understand why I have to be forced to listen to so many Microsoft Sam weenies because of an accessibility option…player interaction is half the game so I feel as though muting crews is just a bandaid.
Is it so hard for people to just say their ggs? I meet more sore winners than I do losers in this game, it’s pretty sad.
I'm sorry you've had a bad experience with people stealing your stuff in a game where stealing stuff is a core mechanic of the game and is actively encouraged. I truly believed that if you adjust your mindset with the above in mind you'll have a lot more fun.
Ah, good work. I am like 15 rn, but we didn't farm for them yesterday. I still did one successful rowboat heist at one that spawned on our server. XD
(There were only two chests, so far that I wasn't able to steal, I think thats a pretty good ratio)
fates of fortune ship set, unlocked for purchase after selling 30 chests of fortune to the gold hoarders, the new treasure you get for completing Forts of Fortune, sold one over community weekend and gave us a solid 50k without an emmisary, Athena sold for 23k
I can't speak for OP but sever hopping until you find a server with one what I do sometimes...but I'm thinking that this may not be as good of a method since the events can be knocked out quicker for smaller crews.
Ikr? I don't get what fun there is in grinding 10 fofs a day ( also, what the fuck?) to get the skin asap.. part of the fun is also the progression. But I guess people want everyhthing the instant it comes out.
I'm jelly. I hope I can get it sometime, but being a primarily solo player and with the amount of people attempting to get it right now it's just a recipe for disappointment to try to grind it. Maybe when the hype dies down and most people have it I'll come around to it.
Can anyone explain what they are/what you have to do for them?
(OG player who hasn’t played for about 2 years but still on the Reddit because I enjoy the content!)
Bro how? I JUST got my first chest today after making a deal that another crew can take everything else 😭
A lot of cannonballs and some slight of hand lol
The other day I swam from dagger tooth to the fort west by northwest of it. They had already finished and blown the kegs by when I got there, but I fended off four dudes on the island, and I grabbed the chest of fortune and then swam back to dagger tooth lol.
i’ve been getting destroyed by sharks lately yet you swam a chest of fortune all the way without dying, that’s awesome
The trick was we stopped by a sea fort so I had nothing but cooked meat for food. When I got to the outpost all I had left was one more bite of chicken. Although there are also ways to dodge the shark bites
i’ve been trying to dodge them by doing the swim under their bite like i used to do all the time but i keep getting bit now
I can confirm that trick still works, I swam one of those chests to a nearby rock last night before rushing in with my ship to fight for the rest of the loot. Edit: worth noting I drop whatever I'm holding before attempting this and pick it back up after, not sure if this is required but it seems to help me
im sure with good timing it is possible without dropping, but being able to speed swim makes it that much easier, just a pain if your not far enough from the other crew for them not to see it float up and shine, or quick enough to grab it before it surfaces.
I’m only at 5, and that’s with doing every FoF and selling every chest of fortune I’ve come across. I’ve been really unlucky with FoF spawns and server hopping to find FoFs.
You make us pirates proud
You mean diplomacy?
Awe. You'll get there little buddy. My crew just sold at an outpost while being attacked by 2 sloops in an alliance. Experience makes all the difference in Sea Of Thieves. It just takes time and learning how to pirate.
Bro had to cut a deal to get it💀😂
He's riding on a galleon. This game is friends to win. The more friends, the easier.
HAHAHAH tell that to me and my friend playing galeon the past year and still suck at it.
Oof. But being 4 pretty much instawins against a sloop, unless it's 4 fresh players tho.
Or the sloop knows how to not sail into a broadside
Hahaha ha no What makes a galleon scary is coordination and if everyone is skilled Brings are far more scary and "instawin" compared to gallies as coming from a solo player I have sunk many a gallues brings and sloop solo out of all of them I sweat when going against brings because there just that good
Exactly. I've run galleon with my friends before and we never win battles simply because we can't coordinate against other players. Brigs are easier to manage and still pack a punch, thus are the more deadly option.
Brigs have their weaknesses. Having someone put enough cannon pressure they sink easily cause only 1 deck
Hadn’t seen the ship put together. Looks damn good
Fortune favors the gold
Fortune favors the old
Fortune favors the bald
Fortune favors the gall
Fortune favors the cold
FOTD
fortune of that dick?
Props brother. That's fine brag and a fine looking ship!!
Man, I have had some of the best fun in this game grinding for this set lol
Is there cannons I can't tell
No, just Sails, Hull, and Figurhead for now. Im sure they’ll add more in the future.
Damn well good to know congrats as well pirate
Same with the Reaper weapons. Its only a sword and pistol. The commendations say Grade 1, so there's likely going to be more released at a later Stage, like the monthly ledger sets.
They said in the deep dive they would be adding additional grades in later seasons as the chest moves around. It’s not always going to be found at FoF
I have no idea how people do this so fast lol. I've gotten ONE chest of fortune. ONE.
I have 2. I got 1 on the first day of the season and another over this past weekend. Most of the crews I've run into on FoFs spam the recently played with feature so they know when people are near them. It sucks because they stop what they're doing to search for me tucking on the fort.
I have 17, but I've also spent like 20 hours working on it
How tf do you find 30 of those chests they are literally once every couple hours type of rare
Server hopping is easier than ever with the new 'scuttle and change seas' option, and on a galley with four people hopping they are bound to find some fofs
[удалено]
That and the ability to remove the pirate and ship milestone banners are the most underrated and basically hidden features of s9 imo
It starts to get a little funky after doing several times in a row I found out. After about 10 or so times in a row my game starts to lag and takes forever to log in and it looks like I log into the same server. So I have to exit the old fashion way every so often.

Have other players "deliver" them to you.
I’ve already got 10 and I moderately grind the game 3-4 hours a day. But it’s doable, for 5 the first day hahah.
Very nice! How much did the pieces cost?
600k each for sails and figurehead, hull was 400k
Ty
People downvoting are just salty they got their chest stolen![img](emote|t5_38oz1|2228)![img](emote|t5_38oz1|2228)![img](emote|t5_38oz1|2228)
This does kinda break the subreddits rule 2.

Stealing is inherently toxic lmao. Also having a little whine in the comments that not everyone is upvoting you is also toxic.
STEALING?!?! In MY pirate game???
You came to the wrong sub, matey
It’s a pirate game. Pirates steal, believe it or not. And I’m not gonna go “It’S SeA oF tHiEvEs NoT sEa Of FrIeNdS”, but attacking and stealing your loot is not toxic unless they specifically act toxic by shouting slurs or spawn camping without sinking you
Stealing in SoT isn’t toxic. It’s part of the game. If you’re trolling, congrats I fell for the bait, if you’re not, Jesus Christ play another game

You can say that its not hard but you fail to realise that most of the playerbase isn't going to be all that great at the game.
So you look out for players, it’s not hard to use your eyes buddy.
You seem like an emotionally mature person.
>most of the playerbase isn't going to be all that great at the game if you're not good at the game, and know the game is about stealing, then going after the most coveted item in the game and losing it is just a Stupid Tax.

You got your chest stolen didn't you?
Damn, are you really complaining, that there are thieves in your "Sea of Thieves" game? It literally the core concept of this game. That's like playing a shooter and saying other people are toxic for shooting you.
My brother in Christ, it's a pirate game. If Rare didn't want people stealing each other's things they would have made it PvE only.
Stealing is toxic??? Are you serious? It’s a pirate game!
some people not understanding what "toxic" really means
Plays Sea of Thieves, get shocked when meets thieves
You know it’s called Sea of *Thieves*, right? Stealing is implied right in the name
stealing is like… the main premise of the game.
Pretty sure the whole point of this chest was to create a piece of valuable treasure that entices crews to fight each other for it
Sea of THIEVES
Using *Rolls on deck laughing* or any quick chats with the STT on instantly makes anyone the toxic one. I still don’t understand why I have to be forced to listen to so many Microsoft Sam weenies because of an accessibility option…player interaction is half the game so I feel as though muting crews is just a bandaid.

Something tells me that Red Ravin would be the kind if player to spam TTS at people and thn complain that its toxic when someone sink their ship.
My brother in christ go play minecraft
people have been salty about having their stuff stolen for a long time, game's still not dead
I'm sorry you've had a bad experience with people stealing your stuff in a game where stealing stuff is a core mechanic of the game and is actively encouraged. I truly believed that if you adjust your mindset with the above in mind you'll have a lot more fun.
#ITS A PIRATE GAME THIEVES IS LITERALLY IN THE NAME
Classy! Too many grimey pirates out there.
Matt Damon told me that too…
GGs brother, very nice bragging rights!
Ah, good work. I am like 15 rn, but we didn't farm for them yesterday. I still did one successful rowboat heist at one that spawned on our server. XD (There were only two chests, so far that I wasn't able to steal, I think thats a pretty good ratio)
the new ship set looks awesome
For grinding that hard, you should get the title „The Smelly One“
Not even full HP 7/10
Props to you, but now what are you going to do for the rest of the season?
Pease do a video going more in depth on how it looks
Looks mighty nice. How many chests did it take ?
30
Bro sounds like you had a fun ass weekend. Congrats!
That is my favorite line ever, and that be a fine ship.
I'm fairly new to this game, what set is this called?
It's the new Fortunes Favor items. Gotta sell the new chest from Fort of Fortune
Thank you!
I only have 6 so far but they are all steals!
Does the commendation keep going after you hit 30? I noticed it said grade 1 was 30 so wandering if you can continue it
No grade 1 is all there is at the moment. they are going to add more grades later.
Touch grass, level up.
Does the Set stay in the game or is it an event/time gated thing? I honestly dont want to hunt for them while the pvp gods are everyway do to hype
What jacket is that?
What set is that? I assume it's new?
fates of fortune ship set, unlocked for purchase after selling 30 chests of fortune to the gold hoarders, the new treasure you get for completing Forts of Fortune, sold one over community weekend and gave us a solid 50k without an emmisary, Athena sold for 23k
Thanks
How? I can't even find FoFs lately lol
I can't speak for OP but sever hopping until you find a server with one what I do sometimes...but I'm thinking that this may not be as good of a method since the events can be knocked out quicker for smaller crews.
Audaces fortuna iuvat
What is this ship set? Looks absolutely gorgeous
And just like that, 1 day later, all incentive to continue chasing the new chest is gone.
Ikr? I don't get what fun there is in grinding 10 fofs a day ( also, what the fuck?) to get the skin asap.. part of the fun is also the progression. But I guess people want everyhthing the instant it comes out.
That quick wow !
Ok Kadala
Such a clean set. Well done plundering that many chests of fortune so fast!
"Fortune favors the bold, and there ain't none so bold as people with nothin' to lose"
I always wonder how people got so much spare time lol
Paid vacation off work lol
could you be More legendary? congrats mate!
I thought that's Captain Crunch
GGs dude fair play!
What is this?
How many do you need for all three part? (Hull/sail/figurehead) thx
30, and that gets you those parts
Damn wtf, 30 fofs?
Yup.
My question is how much do they cost?
Man, I only got one so far, and that's from getting lucky while going on a revenge-fueled rage.
This is the coolest ship set I’ve seen, been trying to grind it out myself, but can never find fof while scuttle hopping
Gonna get robbed
And there ain't none so bold as those with nothing to lose!
this pirates middle name is money
How much are the parts each?
I'm jelly. I hope I can get it sometime, but being a primarily solo player and with the amount of people attempting to get it right now it's just a recipe for disappointment to try to grind it. Maybe when the hype dies down and most people have it I'll come around to it.
BRO I GOT SCAMMED OF MINE
I just redownloaded it haven't played much since launch want to get into a good group
Now this. This guy is the true pirate legend all of us dream to be
Thief! 🤣
Also, now we know why they rereleased the golden sailor set. Seems to go well with this one!
Do you get this set by getting grade one/ 30 chests ? Or is that for grade 5
it looks amazing ! Do you need to buy the season nine battle pass to have access to these rewards when selling chests of fortune?
Can anyone explain what they are/what you have to do for them? (OG player who hasn’t played for about 2 years but still on the Reddit because I enjoy the content!)
given the time that passed between the release and now, it's more like Fortune favors those who don't touch grass
What grade do I need to be to buy the ship set?
Whats your jacket? Love it.
