Bilge Rats Weekender
June 12th – 15th (10am UTC)
Celebrate the pirate life as you sail into a weekend of quirky Challenges and special Voyages, refilling your coffers with Doubloons along the way!
What Is the Bilge Rats Weekender?
The Bilge Rat Weekender is a recurring celebratory Live Event, with a focus on earning (and spending) Doubloons under a refreshed currency system. With offerings including unique Voyages and themed Challenges, alongside community-minded moments such as Firework Displays, these Weekenders whip up regular opportunities to get your hands on exclusive items while celebrating the spectacle and variety of life on the Sea of Thieves.
Spending Your Doubloons
Two additional markets are open for business during the Bilge Rats Weekender, dedicated to items purchasable with Doubloons. The first, the Bilge Rats Black Market, hosts returning items from Seasons gone by and is of course run by Larinna, relocating to a cosy seat inside the nearest Outpost tavern. The second new shopping option is the Smugglers’ Market. Even getting to browse this one will require pirates to track down the elusive Duke, but the hunt will be worth it for the rare items he offers...
Voyages
During the Bilge Rats Weekender, pirates will be able to explore two new Voyages – a Smugglers’ Doubloon Run and a Recovery of a Secret Shipment – carrying the potential of loot so rare that The Smugglers’ League are willing to trade Doubloons for them, and perhaps even a cosmetic or two!
Challenges
The Bilge Rats have always revelled in challenging pirates to perform incredible feats, and that spirit lives on in this Event. During the Weekender, fulfilling the Bilge Rats’ daring feats on demand will see those pirates with an adventurous spirit rewarded with a bounty of Doubloons.
Raid on a
Dark Fortress
Bilge Rats Weekenders also serve as an opportunity to revisit popular Events from the past, and this time it’s a Raid on a Dark Fortress! During the Weekender, crews will have the opportunity to undertake this dangerous Voyage once again, braving Ghost Ships and Phantoms in a bid to claim the treasure hidden away in Sea Fort Vaults.
Succeed in fighting your way through the Fort’s defenders and not only will you be all set to lay hands on this loot, you’ll be well on the way to earning a weighty purse of Doubloons. All you have to do is retrieve and cash in the Chest of Ancient Tributes tucked away inside the Vault. Good luck!
