How long does loot stay?

  • Ship sinks. Inhve 4 skulls. Ships is gone but I’m still at Snake Island.

    If I put the skulls down on the beach and go get another boat how long will the loot stay on the beach?

    If I leave the server will it instantly disappear?

    If I log out and then right back in and sail to snake Island I would be in a different sever and the loot would still be on the snake island from original server not in the new one I just logged into?

  • On an island I think for hours, I've come back for some a good time later. In the water though I think its only like 5-10 minutes. Someone needs a timer in this lol.

  • If you put it on the beach it'll stay there for a long time, plenty long enough to return with a new ship, unless someone sailing by spots it and scoops it up. If you leave the server the loot will still stay but it's unlikely you'll come back into the same server to retrieve it.

  • I think the count for loot on land is 3 hours. It's more like 15 mins in water.

    When I solo sloop I sometimes make stashes on land since there are a lot of neat places to hide treasure. Plus if someone is lucky enough to come across one of my stashes before I can retrieve it or I get disconnected, I envy that excitement.

    I wish merchant crates just floated indefinitely or at least floated in currents to wash up on nearby islands. Or if loot was sunk and sank to the bottom that THAT is the loot the would wash up nearby.

    Imagine coming across a fort skull that washed up after a galleon failed against a kraken attack? Epic.
