I've loved this game since day 1. I have spent most of my time (probably close to 95%) solo slooping and really enjoying myself. I took a little time off here and there but today I finally made Pirate Legend. I actually brought my son on my journey today because I knew I had the chance to reach it. It was an awesome experience with him.
Not the easiest path to PL but a very incredibly rewarding one.
A side stat - I made PL with only completing 6 skull forts.
Anyway...just felt like sharing!
