Mysterious Dirt

  • So, I found this dirt pile up high on Plunder Valley (on the NW side, I think) this morning that looks suspiciously like the dirt piles we saw at the outposts last week, which are now covered in wooden debris.

    Could this also be a potential site of future development? If so, what do you think it could be?

    Do you think there could be others elsewhere?

    Leave feedback and let me know what you think! Also, let me know if you find any more of this "mysterious dirt" so we can keep our eyes on it. 😉

    ...or do you think it's just dirt? 😅

  • Where I grew up when you find mysterious dirt piles high up on a hill/mountain you don't ask questions you just get on outta there and let it be

    Ignorance is bliss when it comes to mysterious dirt piles and nasty smells

  • I wonder what it could be ;)

    Do you think he's up to his old dirty tricks again perhaps?

    Every pirate visiting the outposts has seen and knows about that! Well, at least all of the ones who don't have double eyepatches, anyways... 😅

    That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about are similar occurrences elsewhere outside of the outposts. Is there more going on than we know?


    To that end, I have spoken with her Majesty about this mysterious dirt, and she has seen fit to assign me as an attaché for a new outfit she has dubbed Detecting Investigation Research and Exploration, or DIRE for short. As such, I am looking into this matter deeply, as well as a few other matters. It's my obligation to Science and logic! To that end, I am looking for volunteers to assist me in these mysterious matters and other unexplained things.


    I have revisited the site and for the time being, it remains unchanged, though some of my sources say it may change on the 25th or perhaps in 7 weeks. Keep your eyes on it. Oh, and it was on the NW side - right next to the giant eagle statue, if you'd like to look into the matter yourself.

  • can u plz get a photo

    can u plz get a photo

    I have - there's a link to it in the very 1st post to this thread. ⬆️

  • feels like a very small and random thing to call a big lore change, but we'll see, after all reapers hidout started out with a pile of dirt/well actually sand but still

    Visit the site - the above image doesn't do its size justice due to the perspective. There's enough cleared space for a small structure. It's also conviently completely flat.

  • Honestly I think it's just a dirt texture that they sprinkle in every now and then. But I'd like to be wrong, world changes are always interesting.

  • @galactic-geek not just that. the stone wall next to it looks like a potential entrance into a cave.

    Oh yeah, you're right! I saw it, but forgot to mention it. Thanks!

  • @galactic-geek

    If I were you, I'd grab my shovel!!

    You tried that?

    Well, kind of... I did grab my shovel, but not to dig. I used it to ever so gently tap the rock-face, to see if it was hollow. The result was inconclusive, though, because my shovel broke. 😅

    I'll sail back and check again this evening with a new shovel. Perhaps there's a key somewhere, hidden in plain sight?

  • @galactic-geek

    Imagine that? Woudn't it be SOOO cool?! Having some unnanounced and unseen before voyage. Just sitting around on some island, waiting to be uncovered.

    It's already happened on numerous occasions. 😄

    Virtually every vault, the hidden space on Wanderer's Refuge, the Sea Dog Tavern, the Reaper's Hideout, the Pirate Legend Athena Hideout, the Shores of Gold, the Devil's Roar, the fort in the DR, the Maiden Voyage, the Trapmaker's traps, and the outposts at various times (just to name a few) - including now.

    interesting

  • Called it! 😁

  • @galactic-geek

    So it was a pre-set spot for a new tree? Did each of them received the same tree? What's the big deal with it anyway?

    Interesting, so an icy biome really could be just around the corner?

    With a few words if you may, what does it say inside?

  • @greengrimz Oh, I love how clueless you are.
    Nobody spoil it for him (Edit: Dagnabbit @CallMeBackdrafT!).

    Let me know what you think when you figure it out. 😉

  • @greengrimz an icy biome wont be around the corner, technically it could but as the devs stated that they are looking to expand the world inwards more then outwards i wouldnt get my hopes up

    I haven't logged for 2-3 months brother. Even the plunder pass is a mystery to me at this point. I just got nothing to do in the game right now.

    I don't know brother... SoT is very dear to me. But I really want to see and play through some actual new content addition. Old content for new rewards just doesn't feel appealing to me. I can see that you and many others are happy with everything new, despite big or small, visual or content. But I really need something bigger to get me back on the seas.

    What Rare just added is a very sweet homage/Easter Egg to a former team member, that they spent a lot of time on to show their appreciation. I've just seen a few things in the world; I don't know how it ends.
