The Legendary Pirate 'et al'

  • It's exciting to find out that after ye've been pirating in the fantastical world of Sea of Thieves, slogged ye guts out for the Gold Hoarder, the Order of Souls and the Merchant Alliance that eventually you will be granted access to the Legendary Tavern of loveliness.

    As you ascend up the ranks of faction rep with the game's various voyage traders, eventually you will be able to find a special hideout, available only to you and crew members you choose to bring there. The exact location of the hideout will be a mystery for players to unravel, but once they have, it'll become their personal hangout, providing access to higher-level quests and more epic-looking gear. The quests obtained via the hideout dubbed the Tavern of Legends, haunted by the ghosts of player pirate's past. The voyages obtained here granting the most exclusive outfits and rewards for completing the most difficult missions.

    But the question upon everyone's lips is 'where might that be?'

    Thinking about all the islands in the world, the ones with waterfalls at least, what or where is the most likely place for it to be hiding?

    It's been said you will 'burst through a waterfall' in to the world, so, will the waterfall just be on the inside or on the outside?

    When you become a Legend will you dress up or down? Will you pretend to be the 'less well off vagabond' with the bilge rat attire or will you Lord it up, showing off only the best cut of your jib!

    It's certainly got me thinking!

    I'll get the ball rolling with suggesting Old Faithful or Plunder Valley.
    2 of the largest islands in the game & easily big enough to house a hideout with room for a galleon or 2 inside.
    Not too promising on the waterfall front though!

  • Where? No idea really. My guess, is somewhere yet to be added. As for dressing up or down. I will dress up when hanging with my regular crew, and dress down when picking up randoms. What has me most excited is this "legendary" status is billed as not the end, but the beginning.

  • @lizalaroo

    I think its the moon shaped island.... ( forgot the name....) Its a inside waterfall. ;)

  • @tarkit0 So.... Smugglers Bay?

  • @ant-heuser-kush Hmm I was wondering about that. Thinking about the islands present with waterfalls, there's not many that land straight in the sea.
    So you're thinking underwater cavern of some sort then?

  • I forget the island name or location but it was one where you could sail your ship inside the island as it had a covered cove area.

    As far as achieving legendary pirate status and my bling bling attire, yes. I will happily be supporting my new duds 24/7.

  • @lizalaroo

    crescent isle!
    It has a beautiful long cave with a waterfall.
    Also I think that it is not really in the world itself .... if you walk through the waterfall you would be kind of teleported to that world (white screen) .... I would not expect that in the real world of SoT.

    A mix of both.
    If possible, i will try to look somewhat dapper on first glance but upon closer inspection you'll see that it's a bit more worn clothing.
    Someone who pretends to be of a higher status than he actually is.

    Trying to play into my fake Baron idea.

  • @lizalaroo You've got me imagining a ship going through the waterfall and emerging from underwater like this. That would be quite a sight.

    Dont say things like that! I cant go back to those islands! Not again :( xD The riddles and the x marks the spot, oh god im having flashbacks! NOOOOO :P

  • @knifelife
    The riddles aren't so bad!! But yeah, X marks the spot on those 2, no thanks!!
    I'll stay on the ship with you Knife :)

  • @logansdadtoo Here here! I want my hideout on chicken isle! That's my home right there xD Either that or Shipwreck Bay, if there even is an island called that. There should be would be quite fitting for me xD

  • I still don't know why but I (erroneously) think it is gonna be Kraken Fall.

    And I will totally be a Legend hiding in drab gear. Who knows, I may already be one...

  • @ant-heuser-kush
    There are a few islands that have internal waterfalls though (not on the coastline), so they could in theory be causing the waterfall in the hideout.

  • @logansdadtoo Sailors Bounty is the first one that springs to mind...

    Don't reply to me. You're the reason I had my thread locked. You want to speculate, go ahead, but tag me.

    C****t man, get a grip!! I was trying to move on & forget about it!

  • @qm-ginger-beard

    Thieves haven is what I was thinking also. I believe I came across a locked door somewhere. I remember asking myself hmmm why is this door locked...
    The door was blocking some kind of cave entrance.

  • @lizalaroo How about in the loading screen "spam A" video? It zooms in on an island before the Rareware logo displays. Anyone know anything about that island?

  • @dellaint Now wouldn't that be amazing!

  • @ant-heuser-kush @LogansDadToo Boys! Don't make me get the pistols out! :P

  • @lizalaroo

    again!

  • there is only one that comes to mind with an internal waterfall....and the name escapes me...has a maze of tunnels, and some of the riddle maps specify finding the waterfall in darkness...but I don't remember it being very roomy

  • @lizalaroo I remember an island named Mermaid something or other. That'd be my guess.

    Mermaid's Hideaway. I bet my rum on it, of what little I have left.

  • @triheadedmonkey
    That's the one with the waterfall in the cave.
    There's a few i think, there's another with a waterfall & little pool that has a wooden bridge across which is inland
    Memory isn't too good now, had a few bevvies, but i know there are a few.

  • @triheadedmonkey That's Sailors Bounty... you fall into the centre hole of the island then take either cave....

  • @lizalaroo so, here we go again. You all seem to be interpreting "a special hideout, available only to you and crew members you choose to bring there" as a single, well defined and static point on the map, valid for everyone in the game.
    But then, where's secrecy? Its location will be posted everywhere in a breeze, all the world will be there, it will become a scumm-bar rather than a legendary hideout.

    How could it be "available only to you" any longer? Maybe just those with 'legendary' status will be able to enter? But even in that case, the rest of the world will camp outside...
    It will be a legendary marketplace, rather than a legendary hideout...

  • @ant-heuser-kush you, and every other pirate with "legendary" status, you mean...

  • @dreifois Well.... the only way we will find out will be to have a chat to the first Legendary pirate after release!
    Place your bets now as to who that might be! :D lol

  • @ant-heuser-kush I'll see you in the tavern... I'll not wait up. ;D

  • @ant-heuser-kush Good luck me matey! I think I shall be taking the more leisurely route lol

  • @ant-heuser-kush and it makes up to three. But since everyone will know about this 'secret' location in a short time, and other pirates will join the legendary status (after you ;), each sailor of those crews will have a chance to get in, you willing or not. Crowded in a fortnight!

  • @ant-heuser-kush and that's for the specialty, the secrecy and the legendary.

    Prosit!! :D

  • I don't think this place actually is something we've seen already. If your ship is going to burst through a waterfall, I can't think of a single one that would have been big enough to accommodate a full galleon. I wonder if it's the sort of thing that maybe rises up out of the water? Or a "cannot find except by those who have been there" type deal? It would be interesting if it was in the red zone. Like if you had to sail a specific route of the red-zone to get there and only legends could get the compass to show them the way. THAT would be super cool.

    If it's not an instanced place, what's to stop other pirate ships that aren't legends from just following a legend until they get to the hideout? I don't want it to be an instanced zone, because that would be almost the same as it being a "safe zone" in some instances. But otherwise, what's to just stop someone from waiting outside for a legend and then going in behind them? I guess that's how I would like it to be designed, but it does detract from the allure of the hideout.

  • I believe the waterfall will appear only prior to a ship leaving the hideout, acting as a sort of portal. The hideout itself does seem like it needs to be underwater or under an island somehow. Even the largest islands don't really have enough space to conceal a cave with a galleon above sea level.

    I thought about the secret, boarded up cave stream in Sailor's Bounty's cave system. It might lead to Smuggler's Bay or something, and the ship comes out of the Bay with a waterfall within the arches acting as a portal. But if the place is seamlessly hidden, then walking underground from Bounty to Bay would take a ridiculous amount of time.

    We also can't rule out those reef islands. Maybe that pinnacle rock in the middle of the map is where the waterfall portal will be?
