this video made me realize how many levels i still need for the rest of the skelly cosmetics. I’m currently level 109 so i still have a far way to go! Also, great content!
@Man_588 it's a good one, I'll have a video coming in a little bit. I've just been slow to unlock the new cosmetics actually, because I like sinking the burning blade way more than I like sailing it 😅! But my other golden skelly friend got totally converted, he went from full barrel/bucket armor to the obsidian captian drip
when if comes to skele curse cosmetics, the only one I REALLY want is the great coat and a pair of pants. if the hat didn't come with a blindfold I'd wear that as well.
@yourfriendlyneighborhoodsc1447 Thankfully with the new cosmetics that got added, there is a new hat without a blindfold! Unfortunately though....it requires a pretty high hourglass level plus new burning blade commendations to get. If you're dedicated, though, what you want is out there.
These are the good ones, but it leaves out the number of gold skellies/ghosts who took advantage of the exploit last year. There were a tonnnn of them popping up in open crews to preen for quite a bit, and most people I know dropped out of the gold grind since a lot of open crews just assumed every gold skellie/ghost was an exploiter for a bit, which took the prestige out of it for em.
@jkx107 oof, I guess I was blissfully ignorant of this whole side of everything. I always knew there were exploits of some kind, but I generally assumed that the people who did them were few, and that a good amount of them would get bans or wrist slaps of some kind anyways. Either way, dropping out of the grind because it's no longer "prestigious" seems shallow to me, though. You should do something like this because you would be pleased with yourself for accomplishing it, not for the approval of other people. Even if you got it entirely legitimately, you are still going to play badly on some days and have people try to invalidate your achievement. You can't prioritize what other people are going to think. You gotta do it for yourself first. Otherwise, you'll be disappointed.
I see these guys more often than not on Xbox I feel like. every single group post I’ve joined has had at least 1 and every time I get into pvp it’s always against them (I am NOT talking the npc’s)
@amp_town I just do the image trace command in Adobe illustrator, and adjust the color number to determine how many shapes it breaks the image up into. Though you can also do something similar in photoshop...there's an oil painting filter I believe, but it's not quite the same.
I literally agree with every point. These seasons were mad fun. It's so nice that these seasons are lasting 3 months again so we can keep getting things. Like it's so nice that 13 is already here. For season 11 I also loved the sailing part at the start. But, I still sail a crap ton! Selling, sailing to most world events, fighting, all of these are things i get to chill out and sail to. Season 11 made it so much easier to sail the seas as a true menace. Swapping server to server and now most ships you find have some loot because most people only sail to sell now. Finding messages in bottles and shipwrecks are now very profitable which feels very piratey. Also ring drip. For season 12 I just love everything, the new weapons are refreshing, the bonecallers are sick, scattershot is situational but when you use it works very well, horn of fair winds is hillarious, and harpoons are... well they need some work for ship to ship in combat but are great for islands!
@pagleee take a nice screenshot, and then run an image trace in Adobe illustrator and adjust the amount of colors until it looks right! Takes just a few minutes if you're lucky
eh i would say that as someone with both ghost and skeleton and i use sword mainly as well as flintlock since i enjoy sword mainly as i dont like double gunning.
I think I might sit on it for a little while and see if they continue to add skelly parts, and then rehash some of that content after the new cosmetics have had time to sit with the players! I definitely will make another short video looking at how to unlock them though, like I did for the new pieces in season 11.
@@TommySwords I can hopefully help you through content! But I'm sorry, after getting both servants and reapers fully maxed, I don't think you can blame me for never wanting to touch their side of the hourglass ever again, lol.
When I clicked on this I expected some low quality video made by a kid with a 💩y mic, but I'm honestly surprised, and Im currently working towards my skeleton curse (35/100). Subscribing, cause this is pretty good content. Well done!
I'm currently level 350 with every skelly cosmetic, excluding the barnacle skull and golden bones and basically fall into the stereotype on the fresh skelly simply because I don't enjoy sweating in games. One day I hope to be the most casual golden bones skeleton on the seas 😂
It starts with the music from The Seabound Soul tall tale, then its the theme from the skeleton fleet world event, and then I end the video with the LeChuck's ship theme from Return to Monkey Island.
@@arathyn8294 Shadow bones (like the ai skeletons but Rare doesn't have the balls) or some skins that have animated colors but place em every 1000 with traditional recolors every 200
@TheDSter could be neat. It would be really cool to have light poking through the ribcage and eye sockets. And yea I'm sure they don't want to add shadow bones because they don't want players to be too hard to see, but the (slightly pay to win) full body stone curse breaks that rule lol. A shame
love the gold bones man i’m fresh off the unlock, i’m at 121 trying to reach the cyclops helmet. on the dot w/ everything, i’ve encountered green bones that act just like that🤣. love the content man keep pushing
@I_Sogeking_I I've considered it, man, and maybe this is kinda lame lol, but streaming stresses me out too much 😅. I actually have a hard time talking if I don't have a script to work with and practice....I sounded really slow the few times I was live. But who knows, maybe it will just take time.
@@arathyn8294 Understood! I'll take what I'll get and am more than happy, that I've found this channel. I personally don't mind a person who doesn't have the personality, or the energy to be an entertainer. Regarding your script I feel like I could learn a lot from you. The word's you use to describe those "ranks" remember me of my time in Rainbow Six. I've been in the top 50 in my country in rainbow six siege back in 2018-2020 and I feel you're at the same point in sea of thieves. I've just started playing a few weeks ago with my mate from the army. Tonight I've had my first PVP hourglass match and after winning a 1v2 on my solo sloop I've smelled blood. I'd love to learn more, so I'll someday control the horizon around my ships. Finding your video was more a stroke of luck because I didn't even look for curses. But vibe checking you, I feel I could learn so much more from you. After all, you exactly talk like I do about rainbow.
@@arathyn8294 Oh that first one makes sense, yeah it's a shame I'd like to see it more instead of the PL curse, know how I got my blindfolded skull? fought a dude, said "ghost curse by any chance?"(while TDMing on his boat) he had it and let me kill him, what a nice dude, he had the skelly curse as well, I help him get the play seek the dead shanty with another skeleton, anyways, looking foward for more vids, would like to see you playing some matches or giving advice, now working towards those beautiful sunken bones
@germankoga8640 I'm glad to hear you enjoy the content, I'm trying to get my own style going I might record some matches, but the truth is, I learned by watching players like Stirling, Sponge, KaiJoi, and SnowyFPS, all of which are way better than me, and many already have guide videos. I feel like I'd just be regurgitating their info, but worse, lol. Definitely pay them a visit.
Currently 201 idk if im gona go for verdant the sunken carb arm bucket head looks way better imo than the verdant n wheel built but I do love the pvp grind defo not going for gold I have a life outside of sot lol
So do I! It just takes consistency and the levels will get up there, you don't have to play SoT all day every day to get gold. It's been a year and a half plus of just playing whenever we can, for my mate and I to get gold. Just gotta be patient and keep at it.
@@arathyn8294 true true all my friends are pve players tho lol I had to do the looking for posts to get teammates became good friends with a bunch. but my friends I mainly play sot with rather dig up treasure than PvP to each their own. I love PvP they sadly are trash and hate it they ended up cheesing a skeli bc I had one. I couldn’t play with them I liked seeing my PvP progress and get better I thought the whole point of getting a skeli was to improve your PvP but there’s to many out there that just cheesed it that lack the skill to back up the curse like my one friend if there’s a boarder 10 times out of 10 can’t win the gunfight and dies but has a skeli curse lol
This is the best video on posible skeleton cosmetic combinations super creative, I love it, gets me excited to keep leveling up and be able to wear some of this
I feel so called out (fresh skeleton lvl 105, masked renegate ship set, always on a sloop, just recently trying to abandon the sword and ashen bone color)
This is interesting. Me and my friend are trying to grind out the skelly. Rn I’m level 61 he’s like 47 smthn like that. I feel like I’m improving because we’ll end up beating people who have ghost curse and good naval. But the immediate next round we get humbled by someone not even using a curse, but with exceptional naval and cannons. I’ve noticed my friend improving with his longer cannon shots but I feel like I am not improving. I do more boarding and helm/reapairs. I find it difficult to notice my own improvement. Funny enough whenever we see a skelly curse we get decimated but when it’s a ghost curse it’s a 60/40 chance of winning in our favor. That’s how it feels at least.
Watch out for titles like Noble of the Waters or Lord of the Ashes. These will indicate if a plain pirate is actually hiding a lvl 1,000 curse somewhere...these might be the inconspicuous players "humbling" you guys . And yea, ghost curse people tend to be a little less tryhardy than skeletons. Mostly because it's so glowy that it's a combat disadvantage, so it appeals to more casual people.
Burnout is a thing, I can confirm. And it's not necessarily about skill, more about dedication and consistency. You don't have to BE skilled to get golden bones. Rather, going on the path to get them will MAKE you skilled.
I love the sunken bones one so much but I’m only level 40 and don’t even have the base skelly curse :( hourglass is just so sweaty and frustrating at times and takes so long to
I understand man, it was a struggle for me too. It helps if you already have a good pvp baseline before going in and banging your head against the wall. Maybe spend some time in adventure, and come back with some newfound skills and tactics!
@@arathyn8294 Thanks for the advice! I love playing adventure mode and honestly don’t mind the pvp in it and perform decently well as I mostly play solo and have had the game for about a year and have gotten very far it’s just hour glass is such a struggle and very “sweaty” if that’s the correct word to use.
Somthing I've noticed, quite a few skelly curse players, when they're done with pvp at the end of the day are frequently and shockingly way more willing to parlay. I'm guessing its cause by that point they're nearing burnout, especially if its after reaching major milestones. We had a few hilarious encounters of skeleton sloop duos running into my group when we were sailing on a gally or brig and said duos while terrifying and probably more than capable of knocking us out of the water, but were just REALLY appreciative of us being chill instead of gun ho violent towards a smaller vessel on sight lol. Had a full on hang out session with one duo that just unlocked their skeleton curse that even helped us ferry our loot into the reaper's hide out tent.
You're pretty on the money. Hourglass people, in general, sort of avoid combat with adventure ships I find because really all the want are levels, and you're not going to get them from bothering random crews. Also, they tend to have supplies on board, which they don't want to have to get back, should something go wrong. I'm glad you've had favorable encounters with curse wearers on the high seas!
@@arathyn8294 Yeah it pleasantly shows how much good is in the community, which is easy to forget when you encounter multiple toxic crews who do nothing but smack talk win or lose. Also weird side note, I mostly specified skelly curse cause I have oddly never bumped into ghost curse players, or at minimum not anyone who openly wears the ghost curse.
@@TheRauzKindred yes, it's not super well liked. Even people I know who have the GOLD ghost curse, don't even wear it all the time. It's just too visible and monochromatic for most people's taste, I guess
Yep, i am skeleton curse user, even tho i havent played for a few motnhs, i am just little bit done with pvp. 150 ships was sunked by me (and + 50 on side of "good guys"), most of that in solo, many in duo, we sunked a lot of sweats who live in that game, even tho we just regular guys. Now i just want to grind things and chill, and commonly nice to people, minding my own business. And others rarely wanted to fight with me, due to curse and a 130 lvl cosmetic on it, i think. So, this is like retirement, i am now like that veteram grandpa, who had done things in past, but now chill and nice dude. Funny thing, a lot of guys with ghost curse like the meanest creatures ever ...
@@user-bt1zb8qm8j yea ghost guys generally have a bit of an ego. I think that's sort of a given, since people who choose that curse care more about preserving their appearance and showing off things their pirate has done.
