We found an Uncharted Island

I believe there are more than one. There's a few rock formations that don't show in the map with small bits of land. Found a random cup in one once.

This got me really excited, also because I'm used to get in the water and just see lots of light blue around me. I only saw a sea floor this detailed into another archipelago with an underwater cave system in one of the betas (and I don't remember where it was).
There are these times I go underwater and I'm amazed to find a whole other submerged map full of corals, wrecked ships, and unexpected findings.
I read somewhere that Rare said that islands can be expected to appear and disappear every now and then, so I think that it'd be really interesting if there was a discovery and charting mechanic for these islands, too. Like if I'm the first one on an island, I can register it to the trade alliance to receive a sum of money and see it appear on everyone's maps.

@fraxtasy said in We found an Uncharted Island:

@thephlave There are two other uncharted islands at the N-10 and S-16 coordinates.
Explore the depths of these islands, they are not marked on the map because the interesting things are underwater! ;)

Thanks for sharing! I'll go and check them out. Is there any treasure hidden underwater, or is it all empty?

In these fun spots, I have noticed a higher chance of loot (usually chests) spawning in them. :D So keep exploring and you might get a nice "cookie" for it

I found a few as well. The one i found last night had an underwater cave system that you nearly run outa breath going through. At the far end seemed like a treasure room but nothing was interactable. Lotsa of books, cages, 3 chests and what looked to be a voodoo ceremony sacrificing a parrot.. Was cool to find but bummed nothing there.

Btw got my black set today woo!
