The shrouded Ghost

I'm at 11 million meters sailed and kill almost every Meg I see, no Shrouded Ghost. Ran into a player with less than 4 million meters sailed wearing the title, ouch!

I'm still okay with the rarity as it is since I enjoy the game itself :)

@xxariihoughxx agree

Check the fog banks

I agree. Somehow I have only killed three species of megs even though I stop to fight as much as I can. I have the process mastered as a solo player. They're easy to kill but finding all of them is apparently impossible. Meg encounters happen every 3 feet while traveling but somehow you can't be attacked by something slightly different no matter how much you travel.

They should add some special date where the probablity of finding the Shrouded ghost increases! Like the first Saturday of some month, or whatever just some special dates to get a little more chance to find him!

Was thinking about why no one see's The Shrouded Ghost and it's lead me to an idea...
The Ancient One spawns in The Ancient Isles
The Shadowmaw Spawns during cloud cover
The Crested Queen (not sure - perhaps during sunrise/sunset)
The Hungering one is the random Spawn and can show up anywhere

Now the important one... Everyone thinks it Spawns in fog.... what if.... what if... no one see's her because we don't hang out in The Devils Shroud that much.

The Shrouded Ghost could spawn in The Shroud???

@natiredgals said in The shrouded Ghost:

I think once they fix the meg you'll get a better shot. I believe the meg isn't always despawning when you get near a rock or island like it should. If they fix this everytime she goes under next time she breaches not always the same color from when you saw her before. As of now sometimes she just waits and cjrcles the island until you're off of it.

I don't think she should despawn. It makes sense for her to stick around and lurk for you to leave the safety of an island or rock.

It also makes sense for her to get bored and wander off, cancelling the encounter entirely. However, this should only happen after a player hiding out for 5-10 minutes or another nearby ship catching her attention.

Instant despawn isn't fair for when she spawns as you are nearing a place that could potentially reset her without the opportunity to re-engage. It also makes no sense that players could potentially force a respawn of a different type of Meg.

@galactic-geek Cheers, you probably just saved me 3 hours of sailing in the Shroud :D

I'm starting to wonder if they might have silently increased the spawn rate. I've been seeing a few more Shrouded Ghost pics lately.

Either way, I prefer the mythical rarity it currently has. Sure, I want the commendation and title too, but there's just something more fun about how mythical it is.

Like the Sea of Thieves community is on Twitter, the weekly stream, etc (our metaphorical tavern) and then some lone soul comes out and says they found the Shrouded Ghost. Then others refute that Pirate's tales by saying "photoshop" or "it doesn't exist."

I think it's a classic fantasy-pirate theme to have Pirates sharing tales and legends every now and then, where others listening don't know if they can believe it or not and can only respond with "No... that's only a myth!" That's why things like the Shrouded Ghost and Box of Wondrous Secrets fit so well with this game.

I've never seen either in-game, but I hope they never increase the rate. There's more buzz, excitement, and fun this way. Commendation hunters and completionists just kinda need to let it go I think. I'm saying that as someone who tends to be quite a completionist myself.

It doesn't exist. You're more likely to see Morse online than you are to ever see the slippery shrouded one

As a pirate legend, you need to kill every type of meg 50 times to complete the accommodation. I feel the shrouded ghost should spawn more frequently the more megs you killed. For example, someone who killed 200 megs should be able to find the ghost a lot easier than someone who only killed 10 megs
