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 ...
In my experience, red bones blindfold skellies are always naked and use two guns, not sword. Anyone with the cheese bones is 100% using the gold cosmetics and uses rifle/blunder, and is usually on a brig. Good video, mate. I'd recommend timestamps though.
Hell yea man, I remember being really excited about the wheel chest, it's definitely a big achievement. Verdant bones will feel even more monumental! You'll get there soon if you maintain this attitude, best of luck.
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)
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!
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
Thanks for the support. Man, I hope so, but the release of the two new weapons makes me think that artists are going to spend most of their resources on those. I'm hopeful, but skeptical
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 😂
I’m on level 156 rn and it wouldn’t be more accurate, going for the sacred bucket head and barrel body combo eventually so only 15 levels and lots more Athena flags to go😅 Super underrated vid
We love the wooden armor skelly. My main crew mate (who's like 50 lvls from gold now, which will be funny) runs the fit. He started running it as his "good luck" loadout, and now we have a headcanon that the barrel and bucket have magical wards to fend off pirate voodoo, lol.
i'm about halfway to my skeleton curse and i don't plan on getting too many cosmetics for it since my overall goal in sea of thieves is to simply get every curse in the game, though i'll at least try to fancy up my skeleton since i know i'll be using it for a bit out of satisfaction the biggest grind i'll probably face is getting a 4 streak 50 times since i want those twin peg legs, but every other cosmetic i plan to get doesn't require much more hourglass
4 streak 50 times gets you the green bones, the twin pegs are tied to sinking 100 guardians on a captained ship! Not easy of course, but a bit less daunting maybe
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.
@@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
Tbh I just want to make my skeleton really ugly to piss on anyone who makes it look good. Like yea I grinder for a high value cosmetic, but I’m not going to make it look cool by any means
Red bones or ashen bones, repaired skull/reaper mask, barrel upper body, and reaper legs. Now I do think bomb mask, grey coat body, and reaper/weighty legs would be good too cause it conceals the most amount of the body. And to me it’s funny to grind for the curse and then not show off the best parts for it, that being the skull and ribs.
I’ve sunk so many pretty damn good gold bones they just forgot that the harpoon is deadly or they get slashed by my sword and many other gold bones I’ve met are horrible like swabbie like and I’m currently level 730
Good stuff, it's always fun to pull off tricks like that. And yea, I generally find that once people get gold they really slow down on how much they play hourglass, unless they are an absolute PvP nut. After I got my bones, I definitely felt like I was being dragged back into matches, and I def wasn't feeling like putting in the effort to try super hard, lol. Guys like you who are well on their way to gold, care a lot more about getting levels, and tend to actually be getting more day to day practice in than people who have already finished the grind, ya know?
hi, hello, I am with the levels 130-160 category of players. I sink a bit too.. easily sadly. mainly because I tend to panic, and my reaction time + quick thinking tends to go down the drain because of that
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.
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
Ah. I've definitely fought a few golds that made me think that. Or, maybe you're just really, really good, don't discredit yourself, too. Could also be that once people hit gold, a good portion actually tend to slow down on how much the play, cause once they've hit their huge goal, there's not much infentive to lock in like crazy anymore. Sometimes, people who are in the middle of their grind are way more in practice since they're working harder for levels at that point in time.
@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.
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.
