I'm 100% sure you have a 1% chance of running into the"Shrouded Ghost" can we increase it to 2%? I get that it should be rare but I feel like you may have better odds winning the Mega Millions lottery.
Increase the Shrouded Ghost to a 2% spawn rate lol!
@angryink420
Increase it to 50% honestly. I hate that shark. I hate RNG's like this. I ran into someone a few months ago who has killed that fish and they had only played for 4 months. I haven't seen it yet even though the game keeps trolling me with the Black one that LOOKS WHITE AT NIGHT. OWJEFOWFOWJFOIWJFOJWOJWOJW
Everytime it gets me......stupid game lol

Increase it because I don't have it and it's not fair everyone can't get it because work and life and stuff.
That sounds about right. That's all there is to see here.
You forgot to mention the envy. Not gonna lie, I got some pretty large amounts of salt building up from players that already have that fish murdered. Like the one dude that got it 2 weeks after release. I've been playing for 10 months almost 11 and STILL no white meg.
Nah bruh, I'm salty as all hell, but I still hate RNG mechanics like this because its really annoying and aggravating to those that aren't lucky enough.
@angryink420
You are right, there is indeed a 1% chance. That means that of every 100 megalodons you see, 1 will be a Shrouded Ghost. Pirate Legends have a commendations called 'Legendary Hunter of the Shrouded Ghost' for killing 5 of the things, and people already have that commendation. They also have to kill 500 of each other type of megalodon. You'll get it eventually, if you keep sailing. As for the Mega Millions lottery, those give you something around a percent of a percent of a percent of winning. If that were exact, you have 1000 times the chances to see a Shrouded Ghost as you do to win (lotteries are huge ripoffs, they sell enough tickets to make more than they give away as their prize).@Xultanis-Dragon
If the Shrouded Ghost gets increased to equal... the Hungering One, I think has that amount, then the rewards and the rarity of the titles will go down to match it. Also, don't know how the Shadowmaw gets you, being black with red glows, the ones that get people normally are the Ancient Terror, with its yellow-green coloring, and the Crested Queen, with its pink glow.@ultmateragnarok said in Increase the Shrouded Ghost to a 2% spawn rate lol!:

The title comes from the bilge rat quest and the required number is 1 kill.
There is a title in the Shrouded Spoils called 'Hunter of the Shrouded Ghost', which awards 50 doubloons and is for killing it once. The title I was refrencing is 'Legendary Hunter of the Shrouded Ghost' in the Athena's Fortune reputation, which is a grade-based commendation that tops out at five. Each kill is another grade for it.
@burnbacon I wouldn't mind seeing an undead, skeletal megalodon... Except, traditionally, sharks have cartilage, not bones, so maybe not?
@galactic-geek
Some sort of undead, damaged megalodon wouldn't be so bad, a greyish, torn up surface showing with much of the skin removed to show grey flesh (really looking the same as the skin) throughout. It was in my old 'skeleton ships but not all related to skeleton ships' post that you likely don't remember, actually, as having less health than any other megalodon but attacking a lot harder and faster.@BurnBacon
I imagine that would be in a new region. I've a good idea for one, to the south-southwest, a mostly open sea area where the monsters of the sea are more common, and sometimes more powerful. It makes sense, given that the original Hungering One from the Hungering Deep was found around there, after all.I HAD the shrouded ghost, after over like 6 weeks of playing every day for hours. Then I reset my pirate. Now I gotta wait all over again and the lack of megs spawning is miserable.
So be grateful you didnt LOSE the commendation lol
First time spawn rate was 0.1%, it was difficult to find one but lot of my friends and vetaran players did. At the end Rare decided to increase the spawn rate to 0.2% I believe because it was very frustrating to find one especially for completing the legendary commendation which ask to kill 5 of them in total. Since that update I still didn't see any.... also all my other friends and veteran players which I know there were still missing it, nothing... I've already completed almost all the commendations in this game, killed 150+ megalodon and viewed 200+ of them and I still didn't see one of them... At this point I can only tell you one thing: it's bugged, like most of the things in this game. Meh

More like it's .001%. I have a friend who is retired and plays this game for hours everyday and has never seen it, that's a bit ridiculous, especially when there is an achievement for multiple kills. Rare is one thing, impossible rare is another.
I am beginning to think that the entire meg spawn rate is having issues.
Here's what I have so far, since its inception. And I have a stern sticker that says - I anchor brake for megalodons.
Hungering One 50/50 (Not sure when I got that done)
The Crested Queen 39/50
The Shadowmaw 29/50
The Ancient Terror 17/50
Shrouded Ghost 0/5(0?)And @UltmateRagnarok that's not quite how odds work. What you're saying is too generalized to fit the model. And here's why - Still, the $20.4 million she won tops not only cases involving seemingly normal players, it even beats examples involving crooks or master mathematicians.
An MIT group, for example, mined the Massachusetts lottery for seven years, and reportedly won $3.5 million.I know I would like to see the odds increased for Ghost spotting. In my lifetime.
You'll see it, it's rare but still comes about every now and then. I think it's something like 11 in one day, if I remember right. As for the commendation, it's 5 times defeating it, not 50, just so you know.
Not entirely sure how lottery systems work, but cheating it or trying to predict it isn't a fair comparison. It's a lottery here, completely down to chance since spawning it in or whatnot isn't an option.I like the idea of a sticker on the end of the hull that says 'I anchor-brake for megalodons'. That's pretty good.
@ultmateragnarok Sure it's a fair comparison. They didn't cheat, they played. Much like I sail about the same server while doing voyages and hoping I get a meg that I haven't had a chance to hit yet or in a while. Or even the other types of megs besides the Hungering One. The other bit is, since Rare hadn't yet pushed out other ways to earn doubloons, that was the only way for me. Running about the game in hopes of getting 50 doubloons for that one kill. Anyway, it's been something that's for sure. Take care and have a bountiful day on the open seas.
I dunno about its spawnchance (and I don't care) but the thought that im getting these very horrifying and traumatizing WoW flashbacks - where I farm for something for years - is a real turnoff yea.
If done right there should be a method to force the Shrouded Ghost to appear.
Like with the original Megadollon.
Or the Skeletonlords.This method should also not become an official quest or stuff.
And it's contents to be added in secrecy just for the lulz.
With maybe 'Captain Falcore' finding it out again of course and those who watch this Videos can be the first to finally get this one of the list. :DI don't have the Ghost yet but I know it will be a sobering day regardless.
When I first read the Achievement I imagined more to be honest but just another completely normal fighting Megadollon that is just an Albîno so to speak.I imagined the Shrouded Ghost to be half-transparent, glowing... and only appearing during a Fullmoon Night, or in the Fog... making it even harder to see.
Or having it FLY around the ship (like a spirit could do) and fly downwards for the attacks all while retreating back up afterwards and sending ghostly Sharks after you.
Make it epic. Make it surreal.Make it... another truly Tall Tale to tell.
But I doubt it will be a truly unique encounter should I ever kill it.
A part of me is glad I have not had the chance yet.Not before Rare does not make it worthy of its name.

I am grateful I didn't lose it, chances are you'll still get it before me though. If you do I am happy for your luck and acheivement.....still wish hell fire upon your bowels though.
I can be salty AND be supportive at the same time :)
