Am I the only one who feels that skeletons fort don't have enough loot? I raided 4 forts during my last voyage of about 8 hours, yes Ik my crew played a long time, we would find 1 stronghold chest, and relics and then other times just gunpowder barrels and that's it. I remember distinctly the devs saying it was more loot then one ship can carry and I was really excited for it. The forts are really fun though but I just feel like they didn't have more loot then one ship can carry kind of thing.
Skeleton Fort Loot
@capn-multi I think they were bugged, they are supposed to have at least 5 chests, skulls or relics in them.
Yeah, I kind of feel there needs to be a lot more loot there. ~5k in gold really is not all that enticing, especially if your nice and split it with other crews. Bump it up to 20k-30k and now things get a bit more interesting. It's enough that I could give up some without feeling salty and its enough to entice me into killing the other crews to try and claim it all for myself.
@capn-multi There were all kinds of problems in the Beta, a couple of them were with the forts, some found no loot at all, others found one or two things, plus the lack of ships on some servers, and people not knowing what the skull cloud was, resulting in some very lackluster fort raids!
3600+ isn't a bad haul... there are more than 4 items so technically it was more than a ship of 4 can carry in a single trip.
Also, there was that one bug people kept posting about plus it was beta and not the full release.
Now for there not being enough loot if another ship helps... that's an easy fix mate.
And I know since I said to kill someone who was acting friendly I will post my counter to the complaints right now so I don't have to later.

On Saturday I played for a solid 3 hours and found no skeleton cloud! After a break, I played for an additional 2 hours and still didn't find one. However, Friday night I saw them come and go several times within my 4 hour gameplay.
I think this is because someone kept ahold of the key. I joined a ship mid-voyage, I asked them why they were holding on to the key and they said they checked the vault for treasure before opening it and didn't see the treasure so they didn't open it. They then would just go to different outposts looking down into the bottom. Never saw treasure but I also never saw a skeleton cloud with them and that was the only crew I didn't see one
@stonedscallywag Interesting! To my understanding the key is just to open the vault/cave, I wonder how they saw what was inside to confirm there was nothing in it.
I saw a lot of people holding the key and sailing away to troll the other players. Not cool! Ha ha!
@stonedscallywag said in Skeleton Fort Loot:
@RogueAxel on the first floor of the tower where the skeletons spawn there are holes in the floor you can look down into the vault below
If you don't open the vault at all game doesn't know to start the timer for another skeleton cloud .. maybe
they just should add a timer which starts running when the fort captain is killed... so the key will only be active for 3 ~5 mins.
