Reaper chest "legendary commendation"

@guilleont I'm not sure 100 is too high. I handed in 10 today. might want to go 250 or 500. Make it unlock something awesome to spend doubloons on....

If so, then I think there should be a requirement for the server to hold a certain number of players for the Chest to spawn. So noone is farming the chests on a dead server.

It would make it just as worthless as the Legendary Thief (aka Legendary Trader) thing.

@captain-coel wow! 10 is a lot for a single day! You've must played many hours.

3 this afternoon right after the update and then 2.5 tonight.

Got lucky final hand in had 3 on the boat.

@anchorretrieval the spawn is supposed to be linked to how full the server is.

@captain-coel Interesting. Thanks for letting me know.

This baby is gonna stay in the game as a current mechanic. So why not give us PL a legendary commendation and a title to show off. It makes total sense to me. I think a good number would be: turning 50 reaper chest (maybe 100, but that's kinda high).

I stand fully behind the idea of more Legendary Commendations. Make it happen, please!

@guilleont

Unlocks:

Legendary Reaper title

Legendary Reaper outfit exclusive to legends

There should also be a legend commendation for sailing nautical miles under the Reaper’s Mark

@jetorchidee97 hahaha.
I also think this game has a lot of grinding commendations, but 50-100 chests sold is not that much. It would be in the same line that the stronghold items.

It is a good idea. Stop worrying about farming. Players are server hoping for them like they use to do forts. Which is a bad thing. However, do not need to limit commendations because of it.

Last night it appeared that a reaper chest spawns every hour. We got to turn in 4 as we were working the new voyages. We had an epic run to grab two of them. Two spawned at the exact same time. We fought and out sailed 3 other brigs to snatch them up right in the middle of them in front of their faces. It was very cool and exciting.

I would say that the reaper chest is one of the best single items added to the game. I and many others pushed this suggestion over a year ago. Happy that it is here. Shame it was not added back then.

This is how the potential for PvP should be inspired. Not the corralling reaper voyages. Way better than what is offered in the Arena. Arena may have not even been necessary if this chest was in the game back then.

This is what Sea of Thieves was supposed to be about. Great job Rare!

I see no convincing reason to make server hopping "cool" again.

I agree. I do not like server hoping either. Why my crew and I do not do it. We stayed on the server we were on. However, it is already happening though. When we kept beating all the other players on the server we were on last night the ships would disappear as the players moved on.

It was a sure thing server hoping would happen with something like this. Same happened for months all the time when skull forts where the item of the time. Seems a reaper chest spawns every hour. One time two spawned at the same time. We got both chests battling three brigs. After we turned the chests end they were gone.

I just liked the idea of a Pirate Legend challenge for them. Worrying about farming though seems pointless though is what I meant. What does it matter if someone else spends time trying to get stuff even without risk. Everything is cosmetic. No character development, levels, etc. to make a difference.

My crew and I play the game as intended, play honorably, and try to be the best pirates we can. That is what should matter. We truly earn what we sail and hunt for. More importantly we earn the fun and great stories for it. Farmers want to waste their time and miss out on great experiences that is their lost.
