Why do Pirate Legend missions give such bad loot?

  • It seems that higher tier voyages in the three normal companies give higher tier loot to match the rank. Why is it that I am still getting disgraced skulls and seafarer's chests like 70% of the time when running Pirate Legend missions. Legend missions should be giving the highest tier loot at least a substantial amount of time. Otherwise, what is so great about Pirate Legend. It sure isn't that sub par hideout and god awful purple costume...

  • @flying-poopla In my experience the loot is generally better :|

  • whoe'er said it was great to be a pirate legend?

  • I'm under the impression that when they increased the quality of loot for higher level voyages in the previous patch that they left the legendary voyages untouched.

    It just feels like rank 50 voyages of Gold Hoarders, Order of Souls and Merchant Alliance have better rewards than legendary voyages.

    That's just my impression and could very well not be the case.

  • @evasive-envy That seems to be the case, but makes no sense relative to what "Legend" should mean.

  • But remember: according to rare, once you reach pirate legend, the game has only just begun!
    That's where all the content is!

  • @mcdoll Yeah, what a lie that is lol

  • @flying-poopla said in Why do Pirate Legend missions give such bad loot?:

    @mcdoll Yeah, what a lie that is lol

    I honestly wonder why they even said stuff like that.
    Didn't they learn anything from Sean Murray? Or Peter molyneux?

  • @flying-poopla are you sailing with low levels? If I'm on an all legend mission, I tend to see mostly top tier lewts

  • @lord-of-goats Nope, the other guys I sail with are all 40+ for factions.

  • Although I appreciate the opportunities given to do two legendary voyages (thanks guys) I now dread reaching that level soon, myself.
    For the hours invested and the continuous waves of skeletons it hardly seems worth the effort and frustration. The only upside is that beautiful chest at the completion of the voyage.... but is that enough? Each 10 to 15 minute skull fort pays twice as much for a fraction of the time and frustration.


    Last night my second legendary friend had to leave us as his regular crew (of pirate legends) were beckoning him to join them. Shortly after that my regular crew mate's wife also had to leave the game as she had finished her shift at work and needed to drive home.

    Two of us were left on the galleon to battle through countless waves of skeletons for hours.... and for what? We could have fitted in more voyages at an easier pace for just as much payout.


    If any game is going to progressively get harder then the rewards should also progressively increase. Not just the final chest but the quality / value of all chests and skulls during those quests.
    Being in the 40's in rep and having tasted what's to come, one can't help think that the best of this game has already come and gone. :/

    edit: Stop censoring the word "b e s t". Argh!

  • It seems to me the normal level 50 voyages got scaled and the Athena's maps are the old scaling on gh and oos but new with merch.

    Gives people more incentive to speedrun Athena's. I personally collect loot unless I don't have the time. May be more efficient to speed run then do reg voyages with leftover time.

    Edit: to add context I been doing about 2 Athena's a day and several normal voyages last few days for comparison, with gh lvl 50 I never get a seafarers and the Athena's they are common. Same with skulls.

  • @admiral-rrrsole It feels like a blatant artificial roadblock. None of their difficulty ramps make sense or scale properly.

    Microsoft QC needs to get on the ball and stop allowing games in this state to be released if they ever hope to compete in the "exclusive" title race.

  • @mcdoll Lol yes thats where Rare lied to us. How is pirate legend the beginning of this game ??? Its literally the same 3 quests ive been grinding for 150+ hours to reach legendary status. This is were rare f****d up bad the end game is terrible.
