Just a potential oversight for the latest season's commendations. The commendation for Reaper of Master's Offerings requires 360 Master's Urns or Caskets of Gilded Bones to be turned in, when each voyage yields one of each. The corresponding commendation to complete these voyages is 30 completions, but at present finishing this commendation would take 180 completions, assuming you never lose one - this is more than even Legend of the Veil. This commendation seems very overtuned and could likely use some toning back.
Reaper of Master's Offerings Balancing
A lot of players have been farming the caskets, just keep an eye on players doing it and hit them when they have done a few. Easy loot, we hit one last night that had four caskets.
We have hit a few player boats now that have been farming them. Let others do the work lol
Probably we get more of these pieces of loot with the new voyage coming in june, and even more in july. In fact I'm not bothering too much farming those, I'm just focusing on the 50 skulls and the cannin of rage / Bone and Blade comm, since they complete the reaper set and add a new variety to skelly curse.
Seems the whole “we’re gonna split the update into three phases” causes players to think bad of the first.
We still have a new voyage which is pretty much may include extra way to earn rewards.
With how you can see when someone does these rewards, (map) you are easy to find and fight. Which seems what rare wants you to do.Reapers fight each other or random pirates fight reapers for these items.

Are players supposed to judge games and their content on "what it's going to be like in the future" or what the game currently provides? If people wanna complain about getting an incomplete experience (assuming it's overtuned and one of or both updates "fix" it) or another questionable SoT grind, (because SoT is known for respecting a player's time), let them voice it.
@burnbacon In order for one person to sell the item by theft, it requires making another person who earned the item not get it, making that person have to do the amount of voyages they did already again, making their total minimum now HIGHER than 270. There is no free lunch, someone has to do the voyage in the first place to even have the thing dug up. Chests don't come from nothing. Yeah, you can steal them to do it faster, but by you stealing them you are only making it worse for someone else. And I know, pirate game, sea of THIEVES, etc, but that kind of attitude literally contributes to making the game worse for everyone, including yourself. If weaker players don't do the voyage for you to steal from, eventually the bottom drops out of your theft economy. Suddenly no one is doing the voyage aside from sweats who need the comms and previously were just stealing it to try to get there.
