The Skeleton Curse has been out for a while now and has a little range of cosmetics. Heck, we only have one actual pirate hat! In this topic I want to talk about some ideas that I had, and other ideas I have heard. I know Rare is really busy right now, but I think more skeleton cosmetics would go great with season 13, especially with the Flameheart and reaper content. Buckle in this may be a little long.
Hourglass Rewards:
In hourglass you get rewards for leveling up, 1-100 you get titles and figure heads, level 100 you get the actual PvP curse, 100-200 you get some skeleton cosmetics, and at level 1000 you get the golden variant. Hold on! 200 to 1000 is quite a considerable jump don't you think? During those levels you just stop getting rewards. That's a bit unfair to the people who worked all the way to the golden curse, you should add more cosmetics on the grind to the golden curse. Some examples could be more reaper cosmetics. We already have some for reaching level 100 in the Reaper Bones Faction, but I think being able to show just how devoted to the Reapers and Flameheart would be awesome, it is the Reaper curse after all. You Could add a hooded version of the mask, a bandaged mask like the one you see humerus wearing, you could a red version of the reaper pjs- I mean robes. There are a lot of possible reaper cosmetic possibilities. Not only would more hourglass rewards add more cosmetics but it could keep people going for the golden curse! Because I don't know about you but I love receiving some rewards for my hard work.
Commendation Cosmetics:
There are already some commendation's for the skeleton curse like killing a Ghost Curse for a head piece or sinking enough guardian ships for a torso piece, but I feel like you could add more. For example there are some skeletons hanging up in reapers lair wearing clothes from the three main trading companies, Gold Hoarders, Merchants, and Order of Souls. You could add a commendations for selling certain goods to the reaper bones while wearing the skeleton curse. If you sell enough chest you get the gold hoarder set, sell some crates you can dress up as a merchant, and etc.. This can be a good way for players to represent them selves a bit more by showing their faction of choice.
Reuse the Skelly's:
In Sea of Thieves there are a so many skeleton variations, to many for me to count. All of these skeletons cool and unique looking! Which to be honest is the exact opposite of most Skeleton Curse players. We should reuse some of those skeletons as cosmetics, like the basic skeleton and captains you fight. Most skeleton cosmetics don't really show pirate but you could reuse the gloves, jackets, boots, hats, and bandanas you find on those basic skellies. I feel like they could be a cheaper option that don't require anything special, I feel like some players need a break after getting the curse. Moving on we should use some of the special variants of the skeleton, you could add a leaf set (you can change it around some if you feel like it gives people a tuck advantage), add the shadow variant which could be a darker bone color with some glowing eyes, the Ashen Lords would be awesome! With the Ashen Lords you could add their bone color, I know we already have some ashen bones but I feel like theirs are just cooler. You could add there special shirt/jacket, pants, and boots. You could acquire all these cosmetics by killing the respected kind of skeleton a certain amount of times while having the curse equipped.
Skulls:
This part could go in the last section, but I feel like it kind of deserves its own little part. We have so many different types of skulls you can acquire and sell. Can we get some of these skulls as a bone color? Here is an Idea I had, how about if you start a FOTD say 25 times you get the ritual bones color which is a normal skeleton but with red streaks along the body, or well I guess I mean bones? And if you complete a FOTD 25 times you get destiny bones, which can be a milder shade of gold (so we don't upset the OG gold curses) with glowing cracks in the bones. Ad if you really want to get crazy you can make it to where the bone cracks change color based on how you died last. And I'm sure there are other types of skulls people want to see on a skeleton.
Bone Colors:
Why can't we simply have normal colors to choose from? To go along with the cheaper items that don't require any commendations you could add some simple colors like green, yellow, red, purple, blue, and more! these won't be to vibrant but they are enough to show off your favorite color.
And that's all I've got, if you want to see some cool skeleton concepts go check out Skeleton Bro on YT (And subscribed he's so underrated) he has some really cool concepts I didn't add to this list. And If you have any suggestions don't be afraid to share! And that's all folk's!!!!!
