Fallen Sea Dog lanter question

Wait. Did I miss something? What's the Fallen Sea Dog lantern?

@galactic-geek You may need to revisit Sea Dogs Rest.... 👀

Revisit? All that was there a few days ago was the skeleton and the music box...

I followed the seashell and interacted with the chest and got...

...nothing. No pop-up or anything!

I only found the note after.

Did I do something wrong? It won't let me interact with it again! 😢

For the record, I am NOT okay with how mysteries are forming. They should advance the story, not give you limited-time cosmetics that you have no idea that you can get much less from obscure clues.

The only word I heard about any of this was when the devs said mysteries were coming soon during their latest podcast. I thought there would be some great trailer or something to signify the start of the mystery, but nope! Nothing. Except this - and it doesn't actually say anything! Mysteries aren't any fun if you don't even know where to start! The hook has to be obvious to everyone, and in-game, in order for it to be truly appreciated by everyone - like Larinna gettingyour attention. Once that hook is made, then it can get hard.

I am an avid follower of the Sea and if I can miss something like this, there's going to be a lot of disappointed pirates out there - and they won't take kindly to this, or perhaps the other pirates they encounter as they process their grief stemming from missed opportunities.

The very idea that some clues may not even be in the game itself just makes my blood boil too - I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to enjoy the experience of a good mystery, or miss out on 1 because I choose not follow certain social circles.

@galactic-geek Try to die in-game before you interact with the chest again. Some friends of mine had the same issue and a trip to the Ferryman solved it.

I already started over on a new server... SIGH 😮‍💨

Having to die to get it to work with ZERO clue that that's what you have to do to get it - genius Rare... [insert sarcasm here]

They updated the island. There should be a red seashell on the East side of Sea Dog's Rest. Swim into the water while keeping an eye out on the ocean floor. (the shell will be 'pointing' in the direction you need to go) There should be a chest laying in a small crater with the Magpie's Fortune emblem on the lid. You should be able to interact with the chest and collect the lantern.

Edit: I missed your last post to Three-Headed Monkey. Maybe it needs some time to register?

Doesn't matter - I got it on the restart. Still, I have to wonder... How far down the rabbit hole do these clues go? And do they lead to other cosmetics? Potentially a new set?

All in all, I just want things to be a bit more obvious on the kick-start of these mysteries - showing a short clip with no words does not a mystery make for most who see it; to most, it's probably viewed as something akin to just another Sunday Vibes video... I mean heck, I haven't even heard anything from Captain Falcore yet, and he's like the Loremaster! His lips must be sealed for the time being, I'm sure...
