i agree because in a day i've found only 2 forts and in both of them i've seen a ship: galleon, reapers grade V, the tipical radioactive crew that dont let other people play the game, 'cause they took loot and go to sell immediatly, after that they chase everything moves on the sea. BTW if the FoF spawnrate will increase, crew like that should be more difficoult to find in my opinion, and maybe not only the big bully crew can sell the chest (and yes, they where not so claver, cause they sell it on repaer's hideout)
@thetwistedtaste said in Increase FoF spawn rate:
Instead of waiting (or hopping) to find one, have you tried clearing other active World Events to speed up its spawn?
Yes. Twice now I’ve spent hours on the same server clearing WE, as I also just enjoy doing that as an activity, and didn’t get a single FoF during those playtimes. But one of the days I played I did get a couple FoFs and certain days I do get FoFs when hopping. It’s been like every other day that I’ve had luck. It’s almost felt like it was done on purpose for comical relief lol (I know it isn’t but the results on paper do look like I skip a day of luck each time)
@hiradc my brig completed 1 ashen lord, 2 skeleton forts, 1 ghost fleet and 3 skeleton fleets. In the meantime we conquered a fotd, killed two megs and a kraken.
6 hours in the same server ad I said. FoF never spawned. And wasn’t the first time.
Yeah we've also been completing other world events to get FoF to appear. Ship cloud and Flamehearts fleet tend to hang around for ages because it seems if a player enters the zone it resets a type of timeout timer, so yeah sometimes they need a hand to move along. Problem is you go to the effort and then have to deal with slackers coming in for the steal.
@burnbacon ha detto in Increase FoF spawn rate:
Idk what region or servers you play on
But my single server I played 4 hours and I saw a FoF spawn up 3 times.
then it means you were very lucky
@zig-zag-ltu said in Increase FoF spawn rate:
Just a quick question, after handing in 30 chests of fortune, do you unlock a full ship set or only 1 piece of it?
There's only 1 grade.
So I imagine all of it.

3 pieces unlock for purchase with grade 1. Hull, sails, figurehead.
@fox-gr the thing is some world events can block the spawning of a FoF.
The most notorious ones are the skeleton fleet and the ghost ship fleet.
This is due to them having a massive radius and everytime someone sails trough said radius the despawn timer resets
@abjectarity @PersonalC0ffee Thank you gents, phew what a relief.
PS. I hope rare continues to add similar value treasure to the game, as acquiring these chests is always full of surprises just like few years ago. Had some hourglass,double gunning runners contesting us yesterday, we didn't get any of the loot except that chest that we were after, but boy it was fun :D
@personalc0ffee as I said 4 times now, we cleared 6 hours of events. More than 1 time, different days. Not a single fof spawned
@callmebackdraft we cleared in no time every world event in these 6 hours. And we did the same the day before, for 4 hours. Fof never spawned.
And this is the Fifth time that I write this :/

You say fun, I say frustrating.
@personalc0ffee Well we accomplished what we were after - Chest of Fortune, shame HG defense is not working as intended. We were hoping so much that those runners will get invaded.
