Forsaken Ashes missing ship cosmetics?

@blazedrake100 it should absolutely be based on finishing quests. Like complete 20 DR GH missions for the wheel, complete 20 DR OoS for the cannons, deliver 100 DR cargo for the capstan as a possible example.

The missions are pretty quick.

@ultmateragnarok I understand your worry, and would have probably my felt the same way. I agree alot of those sets needs to be finished, and most need to be updated to the current design(painted mast, deck, etc.)

@blazedrake100 and an hr per voyage is bad? I'm not advocating for these to be time limited, just available. and honestly who plays adventure mode if you have less than an hour?

@blazedrake100 because honestly visiting maps is silly and easy and requires no commitment to unlock. doing voyages is atleast encourages you to go to the roar. if it were just islands visited you do it by just scuttling and running ashore..

@galactic-geek Corsair sea dog? which is that help me remember?

@galactic-geek said in Forsaken Ashes missing ship cosmetics?:

This is 1 of my few complaints with this game - incomplete sets should NOT be a thing by default. I'm still waiting to see what a Corsair Sea Dog ship, weapon, and tool set might look like...

Yep, it's dripfeeding, and it's gotten really bad over the course of the game's post-launch life.

I can remember the broken up release of the bonecrusher set, but at least we got it all over the course of like a month and a half. Following that Forsaken Shores dropped 3 full new sets on us. Shrouded Spoils gave us the entire Wailing Barnacle ship set, cannons and all.

Then they slowed down. They started dripfeeding partial ship sets. We got the Mercenary Voyages, where we only got two pieces of the Mercenary Ship set. Then the Wandering Reaper set is without a figurehead.

No new clothing sets in between whenever Forsaken Shores released (September) and the Anniversary Update (end of April). And the clothing set for The Arena isn't even complete, and it should be for winning 100 Arena matches. The Parrot set I think is the only complete set we got with Anniversary.

Pirate Legends have one truly exclusive set whose release has been stretched over the course of more than a year and still isn't complete. The Ghost Set seemingly hasn't even been thought about since Cursed Sails when they added the ship.

This is my biggest criticism with the development of Sea of Thieves. For a game who's entire progression model is cosmetic, we shouldn't be left waiting for individual sets to be trickled out over a span of several months. We should have had these sets completed already and then some. We should be seeing new cosmetics every month or so.

I believe they need to re-think this strategy of forced longevity and stop holding back cosmetics. I'd be willing to bet the Forsaken Ashes cannons and stuff exists on the back end but is being held back. I highly doubt they just create partial sets internally.

@blazedrake100 just cycle quests for single chapter voyages, that's I've been doing to work on my 250 completed gold voyages

I agree. I think the next update should bring us a bunch of cosmetics as well as QoL improvements (HC strongold item, skeleton captain bone dust crate, etc).

They released 2 types of Reapers sails, but not figurehead neither canons, captstan or helm. Same happens with PL tools, and ghost items.

For the original ship sets (sea dog, sovereign and admiral) they only have to change the color. I'm hopping they don't use Emporium for this sets.
