How Megalodons and Shrouded ghost works...
@look-behind-you said in How Megalodons and Shrouded ghost works...:
Th problem with personal or anecdotal 'stats' is that they ignore every other person's anecdotal 'stats'.
Anyone could easily start a new Sea of Thieves journey and manage to meet/defeat a Shrouded Ghost within 15 mins, which would destroy all 'stats' mentioned.
On the inverse, someone could play for 8 years and 1000's of hours and never even see, let alone defeat a Shrouded Ghost.
Almost as if it is actually a (at best) "guess" rather than actual "Stats".
The numbers may be correct for you but...ignores...EVERY other player's experience ever.
False. I just got a meg on day 6...
Day 1, left outpost and past one island.
During the fight, skeleton ship appeared.After defeating both, kraken. What next? The burning blade :(
@burnbacon
Do u have a megalodon on Each day 1 ? or it was 1 in 50 or 100 session ?Cause, if u got a meg on each day 1 , call me , i'll hunt meg with u ...
I guess u can't understand what's a timer and the odds to get a Megalodon on Day 1 ... which are like arround 1 %
it's not that u get once a meg on day 1 (cause the meg timer goes from day 1 to Day 9) that all meg will be on day 1.
As soon u kill a megalodon , a new timer is set to your shipt (which can be day 1 to day 9) but the average timer is most of time during day 5/6.But,with an incredible luck you could get a meg on each day 1 ...but it's better to play at the lotery than SOT cause u'll get richer with this kind of luck ... cause getting a meg on each day one , the odds are like 0.0000000000000001 %
For those who wants to calculate their odds to get a Shrouded ghost : https://sgnotforu.lukitch59.workers.dev/
open your pirate milestones , The Feared then calculate how many megs you slained
@BellCurve9279 You can multiple meg if you are doing a long session
Next time when you got multiple meg , check in your logbook days between each kill
Exemple :
Day 5 meg , then you were farming quest / world event or any other activities
Day 9 you get your second meg
Day 16 you got your 3rd megIn this exemple you got 3 different meg timer
1st meg day 5 , 2nd meg day 4 (9-5 cause after killing a meg , a new timer is set to your ship) and the 3rd meg day 7 (16-9)As soon you kill a megalodon, A new timer is set to your ship and goes from day 1 to day 9 max
The best is always check the capt'n logbook and it's always better to kill them , cause if u don't kill the meg you'll forget on which day you got them.
On this exemple i get my meg on DAY 15 (Cresteed queen) then 2 days later again a cresteed queenAnd if i remember well on this 20 days session , i got 5 megs : day 5 / day 10 (+5) / day 13 (+3) / day 15(+3) and day 17 (+2) , i get more meg than in usual time (most of time when i'm doing a long session i get only 3 or 4 meg )
No, I have seen three Shrouded Ghosts, so, I think the data for your rarity might be off or missing a factor.
One spawned on another boat, the other two were double spawns I couldn't fight since they occurred alongside a skeleton ship.
I might have to do my own testing to see if forcing a double spawn increases the chances of seeing a shrouded.
My datas are based on my Megalodons that i'm encounter while i'm playing.
So this year, i haven't seen one yet , so i can't stats something that i didn't get.But here are some stats from 2025 (People who helped me to collect data got 5 SG during 2025)
How to get more megalodons than playing normally : MAKE MEGALODON FLEET , you get more chance to get the great white ... cause you are rolling a dice 5or6 times instead one (depend if your meg fleet got 5 or 6 ships)
