  • Most likely it's a chest that someone left behind for some reason after uncovering it. I'm pretty sure they stay forever once you find them in the first place ;D

  • ive found lots of those in the past couple weeks, i found a patch of 4 marauders all close together on wanderers, also a captains on shark bait. it was strange

  • Athena speed runs. Tap chest and leave it. That's why.

  • @careless-turtle free gold for the rest of us. I appreciate the ones doing it.

    My buddies even found a captains and a villanous skull setting on the table of the tavern at Plunder Outpost. Nice Pirates these days.

  • @careless-turtle always wondered how one would speed run those lol never bothered looking it up because I'm not legend, but I've heard the term. thanks!

  • if I had to guess its someone doing Athena's on a speed run.

  • @skritsarn Can confirm, doesn't even need to be an Athena run!

    I was 1 voyage away from a Gold Hoarders commendation, and me Helmsman and I had teamed up with another crew for the skeleton thrones event.
    I told them to just drop me off at Chicken Isle for the final piece of my voyage, I plunged my shovel in, got the chest to pop out, and then countless skeletons killed me, the chest left in the sand.

    I didn't get it, but it'd remained there until someone found it.

  • My crew don't take any chest on Athena speed runs and they will all look like that. We just hit and go. When the whole crew are legend no one cares any more for that stuff.

  • Thanks all. Free gold is always appreciated, lol.

  • @bheid-reborn Yeah we left a lot of partially uncovered chests behind during an Athena quest.
    There's just no point hanging around to kill and die a further hundred times.

    We've also left chests on the roofs of buildings at outposts. lol
    I tried to hang around to see who finds them but I had to leave and my game got kicked with the lazybeard soon after.

    You're welcome. :o)

    Did you leave one on Sailors Bounty, because that's where I found this one.

  • Some server has 4 on snake island and 4 on mermaids hideaway right now

  • @bheid-reborn I'm not sure. I'd have to go through my recorded game sessions to check. lol
    ~ some time later ~
    I've just checked. Funny enough where I clicked to jump forward in the video one of the crew says "Sailor's Bounty" (by pure coincidence) so I thought it could have been the same chest but he was mistaken. That particular game we left them on "Lonely Isle" as well as other near by islands.

    I'll look for the video of me and my regular sloop partner dropping chests on rooftops at outposts.
    We've also left our "good luck" golden chickens in taverns. :o)

  • @bheid-reborn Ive come across a captain chest that appeared to be half buried but I was able to justpick it up and 2 skulls that were partially covered with sand. So it seems so, which is cool theyre actually rewarding mindless exploration.
