Ghost Fleet World Event vs. OoS Ghost Ship Voyages

    Okay, so I know once Rare discontinued the Ghost Fleet World Event back in Feb 2022 they still needed to allow players to progress in the commendations involving defeating the Burning Blade, so they adusted the Ghost Ship voyages you purchase from the Order of Souls so that the ones at the highest level have a chance to spawn it instead of the standard Ghost Captain ship in the final wave.

    But once Rare re-added the Ghost Fleet World Event back into rotation in March this year, we now have a guaranteed spawn for the Burning Blade again. So does anyone know if the regular Ghost Ship voyages we purchase have reverted back to their standard Ghost Captain ship final wave?

    I've done about 6-7 voyages since March and haven't seen the Burning Blade spawn since, but I'm not sure if it's just luck of the draw or if they've actually removed it.

    It does seem they quietly discontinued the possibility of getting the Burning Blade from high level OOS quests. I personally, and others I’ve spoken to, have been unable to secure the Burning Blade from purchasable quests since season 9 release.

    As someone who has unlocked both PvP curses I can tell you that completing the Flameheart world events while wearing the skeleton curse does NOT count for the commendation where you must complete a ghost fleet battle while wearing the curse. In order to complete the commendation (which is 20 times FYI) you must use an order of souls voyage.

    I believe from a lore perspective that pirates who earn the curse is supposed to be loyal to Flameheart. Since the voyages count for the commendation I don’t think the Burning Blade will ever appear in the order of souls voyages.

    Apologies, I should've been more specific regarding which commendations I was speaking of! lol

    I meant the two Order of Souls commendations that are awarded for fighting the Burning Blade specficially, not just regular ghost ship battles:

    -- 'Banisher of the Spectral Flame' for defeating the Burning Blade 10 times
    -- 'United Against the Flame' for defeating the Burning Blade whilst in an Alliance

    Although it IS good to know once I get around to unlocking my PvP curses (someday far, far away) that the world event doesn't count toward the 'Bone Voyage' comm and I'll have to actually buy the voyages to do it. I'd be hella mad if I went server-hopping to find and sink the Ghost Fleet and it didn't even count. :-)

    Yes it appears you have to go back to doing World Events for those commendations again.

    Also on the PvP curse front, the captaincy voyage didn’t work for me either, had to be the one purchased from the OOS lady in the tent.

    I’m aware of those commendations. I earned mine from completing the world events. I simply lost interest when the world event was removed. I didn’t see the need to dedicate time to the voyages that had a small percentage of spawning the burning blade. Im doing the world events again where there is a guaranteed burning blade spawn.

    I do miss the babbling head in the sky
