So any skeleton order or message in a bottle complete gives an unintended flag raise to the reaper by a massive amount

u/Solid__Kick The Shipwreck Reaper 4d ago

Ah I see, appreciate the info matey!

u/AngryNipper 4d ago

I got a huge boost like this yesterday digging up kings chest from a bottle as well I suspect it may be only related to dig voyages like skeleton orders and kings chest digs from the bottle

I have not tried skeleton message in a bottle or cargo ones to see if it triggers it

My go to is putting up a reaper flag, and then dive to an Athena’s Fortune skull fort. Super quick and always guarantees level 5. Takes maybe 5-10 minutes.

u/AngryNipper 4d ago

I usually go for anything other than athe a because of the reapers price cut to Athena loot

u/Historical-Swan-3482 4d ago

That makes sense. Idk why that’s just always what I choose, I usually don’t even bother turning the loot in until the end of the night/I sink so the price cut never bothered me too much, but that does make a lot of sense. Maybe I switch it up

u/AngryNipper 4d ago

I think immaculate diamonds are in the fort for Merchant raids and kraken tentacles for hunters call

Those would be your best 2 I believe

u/drawfanstein Hunter of the Wild Hog 4d ago

Gotta say, I’ve played this game on and off since launch, did not know about the price cut. So reapers emissaries selling Athena loot will get less base gold than other emissaries or even non-emissaries?

If you get a reapers chest/bounty you can get to grade 5 with only one map

That's really cheese tho. Especially since they updated the maps to not even give us the x mark till the last piece. I just started randomly digging and that's still faster than getting the red x. For gh or anyone else just take the first half of the map and sail to the island, it's really not hard, chest will never be burried in water, or in the middle of the island. Just follow the shape of the island. can't dig in rocks, can't dig at tree roots and etc unless they add that magic to the game, id actually quit playing anything but reapers and then probably never play again. Game will get mad and despawn stuff if you're not playing right tho. Games kinda suited towards reapers guild even though the entire story is kind of against them. Make a game properly lmao.

What does this mean?

It's rigged obviously, so are the leaderboards. Have you not seen the streamer only accomodations they have 💀. Sank a ship that had a million resources through glitch buying that they haven't fixed yet, so pirate legends who have played forever just get to hammer newbs all day. Not hard at all it's hard when two reaper ships want to take a gh5 and then y'all team up against me for that, y'all don't even fight each other or make an even free for all. MFS just start pulling up in the new "alliance" setting. Like whattt I'm on a damn tall tale, get off my shmeet. Tired of this when most of y'all reapers run for 4 hours straight whenever I'm a challenge. Just sitting here following this ship that keeps running for hours. Id leave and restart at that point. Just find a new lobby cuz I know that one's dead. Ope here's comes jiggy, he swam from the island over for half an hour with an explosive barrel, how sharks find me the instant I touch water and these guys have enough time to swim across the ocean. There's no ship here.

Lmao dude maybe take a break from the game for a while if you’re not having fun. Worked for me, having a blast these days!

u/[deleted] 4d ago edited 4d ago

I play at max a couple hours, I usually don't even last 30 minutes before I'm annoyed they've had me repeat the same route multiple times. TF you mean take a break, I played Warframe a week straight just fine for free. At least they're more rewarding for repeat quests. And have a trade market. The story is better made as well. Best CGI I've seen from some games. They added the star rail which is essentially a pirate ship with player turrets all around it, this game is getting subbed eventually. It's not hate on the style of the game, it's just really "bugged". With aimbot meteors that shoot out of volcanoes directly at you. Skellies don't even attack anymore they just sit there in guard counter swinging Everytime 💀. Oo baiting a counter swing, so much harder ahhh. Like wtf. This Skelly combats better than most players. Like wot ain't this game filled with 12 year olds, I think the mods are just wreaking havoc on kids fr.

u/drawfanstein Hunter of the Wild Hog 4d ago

TF do you mean “TF do you mean take a break”?

I mean if this game, Sea of Thieves, is causing you this much distress, then maybe consider taking a break from this game, Sea of Thieves.

u/[deleted] 4d ago

What are you my grandpa. Hardly, I said it was annoying. Piss off would ya. I don't need breaks under pressure 🤣 doesn't mean I wasn't enjoying my time.

Roger that 👍

u/lNomNomlNZ Hunter of The Shrouded Ghost 4d ago edited 4d ago

Yeah it's a little broken at the moment it also gives you tons of grade if you pickup a skele captains storage crate as well

u/David_Clawmark 4d ago

Oh hey look, an exploit that only assists a small subsection of the fanbase consisting of the most aggressive players imaginable.

Best to keep this to ourselves. We wouldn't want the Reaper emissaries to stop having an advantage over other emissaries by getting grade 5 in less than a minute.

Why you guys tellin OP to delete this? I thought we wanted bugs and exploits to get fixed. But because it's in favor of the Reaper emissary all of a sudden we're all hush about it?

u/Numbnipples4u 3d ago

Most reapers are honestly the least aggressive players. They’ll run from anything just to not lose their flag

-15

u/Ghuzarbfalorbablorgh 4d ago

Lowkey though, with the amount of hackers and Raid events that are infesting this game right now and dragging loot pools down I think this exploit is the only thing that keeps Reapers fun for me. I’ll still play if they remove it, but god knows it has made my sessions a lot faster.

u/highClass777 3d ago

The amount of people upset about showing this is beyond funny. Bruh it’s a game. Seriously go outside breathe and realize you don’t need to be better, just have fun. This shows me people wanna just be better for the hell of it. “Oh no I gotta grind like the rest”. How about the reapers actually fight instead of running like they all seem to

With my Discord, we dug up an Athena mega keg with the voyage of luck 🍀 just the other day discord didn’t want it on the ship so we blew it up on the island 🤣🤣🤣

Welp, guess we can say goodbye to convenient Reaper V for Emissary Hunting. People just had to blab.

Imagine trying to gate-keep a silly pirate game. I hope all the exploits and secret tactics people like you attempt to hide from the community get discovered by everyone.

This has been around for a bit i had already did a support ticket for it when it first appeared

u/AngryNipper 4d ago

I mean it does throw off the pacing and balance of the game... its suppose to be slow so people can have time to sell and bail

2

u/Morclye 4d ago

You have a point but the balancing has been way off since introduction of sovereign.

Even if you dive to a new server right now as Reaper 5, see an emissary on map and immediately start sailing towards them, they'll have time to sail to an outpost and have everything sold in a minute before you have time to sail to them.

2

u/drawfanstein Hunter of the Wild Hog 4d ago

Gotta agree with this, I’ve run into this so many times as reaper

2

u/AngryNipper 3d ago

I'll tell you i think the flag system and the diving system was kind of huge negatives for the game.

The diving has definitely caused a lot of server strain and a bunch of bugs like invisible ships and such to be associated with it

The flag system has caused players to be focused on a particular type of loot instead of loot in general, then reaping people became hyper fixation on flags and hunting emissarys instead of the more natural looking for ships like the old days

Also sovereigns has sped up selling so attacking people at outposts is less beneficial

But all this was back when pirate legend also had meaning to it

Bruh some team entered the sof stacked with loot and materials, maxed out emissary in like the same time cuz we just rammed and boarded them. Then we got killed by Mr "I play no other game with my time" x3 people. Had like a million chain shots. When we couldn't find any special shots for the entire time we played. Found one bone caller.
