Affected items: Ship’s Crests, Captain’s Logbooks, Ship’s Banners, and Ship’s Titles.
Description of the issue:
Even after reaching the required class level or achieving the Milestone, the associated ship cosmetics remain locked for purchase or use.
I found a workaround for this bug, and it definitely needs to be fixed. Please take this bug seriously, as I am not the only one experiencing it.
Workaround:
- Obtain a new Milestone:
Milestones are quite rare, making this workaround difficult if your ship has been at sea for a long time. However, if you achieve a new Milestone and receive a notification about it, all previously bugged Milestones will unlock their associated ship cosmetics until you leave the game. Upon exiting the game, these items will become inaccessible again, even if the Milestone was obtained in previous sessions.
- Purchase an item from the shipwright:
All items that can be bought with gold, which unlock progressively with class and Milestone progress, are available for purchase and are not bugged. If you buy any item from the shipwright, not necessarily a decoration (e.g., a random set of bombs), then all cosmetics that are given for free with Milestones and class progress will become available for use as ship decorations. The chain will be removed, and the “apply” button will appear.
In the attached video, I clearly demonstrate the second workaround. Unfortunately, I couldn’t capture the first workaround on video.
