Hey folks!
I hope you’re all doing well and trust you’re enjoying the weekend. Quick question regards ritual skulls;
Can these only be obtained via Duke’s new voyages? I’ve done a few and the rate for obtaining theses seems to be quite low set. I fear I’ll spend most of my doubloons before I get half way lol!
^ I know I can get more via the reaper’s chests, but I just want to make sure on whether these are exclusive to the new voyages or not.
This is good to do with some friends... as it kind of saves on the doubloons.
If there are 4 of you and each of you get 1 voyage, you can do 4 voyages for a 5 doubloon cost per player... and then you all get back some doubloons when you finish the quests. So in that case each player pays for one voyage, and get 3 more fore free.
This way you at least better your chances of getting those sculls.
Well happy hunting... hope you get your sculls. :)
Ritual skulls are found during chapters 2 (island) and 4 (fort) of each Dark Relics quest. You get a number of X-marks-the-spot on these maps; and can dig up:
It seems, from my experience, that there is an almost even chance of getting any particular item, so in a single quest, you may expect get one ritual skull, but can easily get none or be lucky enough to get two. I have not encountered three (or more) in a single quest, but I suppose it is possible.
All six skulls dropped by the Skellies you kill are Villainous, but these are not the "Ritual Skulls". The Hexing Skull is not a real skull; but an effigy of one.
Thanks peeps!
Ugh, I might be alone in this but I don’t like commendations for large quantities of chance-based items. The cursed-based stuff is fine because it’s just one of each, but 15 ritual skulls that have a (from the above) one in six chance of dropping, is frustrating.
It would be much easier if skulls dropped from the voyage skellys imo.

And actually the Reaper's Chests don't have anything to do with them :)
Oh I know my friend :) what I meant was I can just continuously grab chests for more doubloons when I run low.
@kaloudz If it's an option, consider doing the Devil's Roar version of these voyages. I've got 2 ritual skulls per voyage on average out of it. It's like doing 2 of the "normal" ones at the same time (and therefore ultimately takes less time).

Thanks for the tip :) I’ll give it a go tonight. Hopefully I get the same result!
@Kaloudz I did not have the same result as @Crimsonraziel .
Did 2 voyages in the Devil's Roar and both without a ritual skull, they're truly random drops. I wish the devs made them drop with a higher chance as we need a total of 15 of these.

Argh wonderful :/
Yeah that’s the problem I have with this. I totally don’t mind doing these events, and quite enjoy them truth be told. I don’t, however, enjoy needing to do them too many times just for the sake of poor luck / drop rates.
I hope this isn’t a model Rare sticks with. I love the game, and want to keep on top of all commendations, but I scarcely have time to do PL stuff due to needing to repeat runs due to luck and chance.
@foxtroit01 I did a few more than voyages than 2 … when I said "on average" I did not claim every voyage will be sucessful
The easiest one to grind out is the Shores of Plenty because all the skeletons are regular or plant varieties which are much easier to deal with. The second easiest is probably a tie between the Wilds and the Devil's Roar.
The Wilds run isn't too bad because the shadow skeletons aren't hard if its day time. If its night time its a bit of a PITA to re-flash the skeletons all the time. The Devil's Roar geysers can nuke most of the skeletons, but you will have added delays due to volcanoes going off. The Ancient Isles is the worst unless you stockpile a bunch of kegs to deal with all the gold skeletons.
Doing the Shores of Plenty run a few times, I have got between 0 and 3 skulls per run with the average being around 1 skull per run.
I hadn’t even noticed that, I’ll try the shores more often once I’ve got the other ones complete. Thanks :)
Do we know when the event ends?
