A question about Ship Cosmetics

    I need to preface the question by saying my Son and I play on two different Xbox's and accounts. We both have our own stash of gold but almost always game together when he's able to play. Ergo the question at hand.

    If I buy new sails, and my son buys a new figurehead. When we join together on a ship does it see that I own no figurehead and he owns no sails and combine both cosmetics? What if we both own sails and start a sloop session? Which ones sails are selected?

    Thanks to whomever can help in advance!

    @xxxrookxxx If you buy any cosmetics than they belong to you and you only; your son will not be able to see any of the cosmetics that you purchased and you will not be able to see any of his. From reading your topic it seems as if you don't quite understand how the ship customisation works, so I'll give you a quick run-down; when you purchase a cosmetic from Shipwrite (the ship customisation vendor) it should then appear in a crate that is in front of her desk - from there you may equip any cosmetics that you own and your son can equip and cosmetics that he owns, this is not automatic. Every time you load into a session, you're customisation options will reset and you will have to re-equip everything that you own. If two people both own a flag per say (and both flags are unique) than it is up to the discretion of the crew to decide which flag to use. I hope this helped :)

    I'm going to lean myself out of the window and say that in my expirience it's the party leader who's sails and stuff get chosen. But I never really investigated that so I can't say that what I said is correct. Best you guys try it out sometime

    If you own sails and your son owns a figure head they both cam be equipped at the same time.

    @Spunkus-Skunkus You are correct sir, I have yet to save up the cash to buy a ship cosmetic and am new to the mechanics of it. Thank you for the help!

    @Pliskon First, I hope your name is after Snake, Snake Pliskon. Second, this is what I was looking for. Thank you!

    So If I am understanding this correctly, I can buy the sails and he can buy the figurehead and we can both agree to use those on our sloop? See this way we can get the ship decked out in cool stuff twice as fast. I do game without him, but I am less worried about that, its more a goal for us to aim for and 70K is a lot of dang gold! Thanks fellow pirates!

    @xxxrookxxx you have to equip ship enhancements from the chest in front of the shop where you bought them each and every time you deploy a new ship for a session. So, you can deploy your cool sail and your son could deploy his cool figure head.

    @xxxrookxxx Yes, if you buy sails and he buys the figurehead, each of you can mount your items to the ship.

    You are correct both can be used.
    Even if there were 3 players on a galleon one could equip sails one with the figure head and the last with the hull.

    And yes my name is after Snake Pliskon

    @pliskon Snake is my usual avatar but the size of the image didn't work here and I'm too lazy to mess with it.

    @xxxrookxxx One suggestion if I may, I would wait until the new content drop next month. That way you guys will most likely have a wider selection of Ship customization. My Brother and I are doing the same, saving up our coins to buy different items for the ship to have it decked out in half the time. See you on the seas!

    Fantastic point, if we buy sails and a "better" sail comes out after I drop my 70K I will be sad.

    Eh, just more encouragement to get back out there and take what's yours.
