A Pirate Persona

Medic 0 Comments ,

Now I’m not actually a very violent person. Sure, I play video games, and my favourite video game involves being a yellow mass-murdering space ninja, but I’m rather tame. Heck, my online alias, Arkay, is named after one of my Phoviverse characters, a friendly death god who doesn’t like his job and spends way too long explaining that he’s more than just death, he’s also the personification of energy changing forms. However, out on the Sea of Thieves though, I’m a monster. I even have a persona for my pirate. My pirate is, well, not evil, but definitely not the… [Continue Reading]

Season 12 Will Be The Best Time To Get Into Sea of Thieves

Medic 0 Comments

Season 11 has been great at drawing players back, but the players it has brought back have been all over the place in skill levels, and we’ve had a lot of veteran players come back to kick the shit out of everyone else. The allure of shiny gold rings and new faction stuff does a lot, and since voyages are much more accessible now, on top of the ability to raid world events for unique loot, the chances of getting ganked are super high. Sure, Season 10 brought us Safer Seas, but that’s honestly just a glorified tutorial, only really… [Continue Reading]

Season 11 Has Been Great

Medic 0 Comments ,

Season 11 of Sea of Thieves has been great. There, I said it. I’ve actually been meaning to do an overview of the season for a while, because, well, it’s actually pretty big. Season 11’s biggest change is how you get voyages. It used to be that you had to go to an outpost and buy a voyage to do, or go to one of the Tall Tale folks on the same outposts to start a Tall Tale. Now, all of that can be done on your ship, and for zero gold cost. You can also unlock and sail to… [Continue Reading]

On Getting the Gold Curse

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

Curses in the Sea of Thieves are always hard to obtain. Apart from the Order of Souls Curse. That kinda only requires you to do one easy Tall Tale. The Ashen Curse isn’t much harder, although it does require you to do three different obstacle courses and repeat a timed escape thingy three times. However, there are three curses that are genuinely a pain in the ass to get. The Ghost and Skeleton Curses are rewards for reaching level 100 in the two PvP factions, but, if you are patient, you can slowly earn these without winning a single match.… [Continue Reading]

The Shores of Gold Are A Let Down

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

In my journey to do more of Sea of Thieves’ Tall Tales, I finally managed to start the Shroudbreaker Tall Tale, in which we take the cursed artifact we’ve been putting together in the previous Tall Tales and finally go to the Shores of Gold, the abandoned island hidden within the fog and the red sea, which destroys all ships that pass through it. The Shroudbreaker though allows us to pass through without harm, and we finally reach this mystical place. Except, well, it’s… kinda lame. There’s not even much gold. Even Captain Briggsy, in her journals, is disappointed at… [Continue Reading]

Working My Way Through Tall Tales

Medic 0 Comments ,

Tall Tales in Sea of Thieves are basically story quests. It turns out, the pirate sandbox game has a decent backstory, when it can be bothered to tell it and not hide it away in one-off adventures and events. There are three main ‘series’ of Tall Tales, the original 9 Sea of Thieves Tall Tales, the five Pirates of the Caribbean Tall Tales and the three Monkey Island Tall Tales. Doing all of them takes a good chunk of time, and, honestly, they’re not even that fun. Okay, sure, the stories themselves are fine, even if they are a bit… [Continue Reading]

The Sea of Thieves 2024 Teaser Thingy

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

I don’t normally follow Sea of Thieves updates up close and personal, but I somehow managed to stumble across the Sea of Thieves 2024 Preview Event just before it started, and damn, I am glad I watched it. Sure, Season 11 has been pretty good, what with it giving people a reason to rank up with factions again, but what’s been teased for Seasons 12 to 14 are, well, pretty game-changing. The 2024 preview only goes over some of the major upcoming changes, but damn, everything they teased was great. If anything, the very last thing they teased, Owl pets,… [Continue Reading]

Adventures On… Not the Stormcloud?

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Normally, when we play Sea of Thieves, we sail on Stormcloud, one of Bacxaber’s three ships. Occasionally we’ll sail on my Little Stormcloud, a brig, or if Fox is around, we’ll sail on one of his five billion different ships, all of which are unique. But lately, we’ve been taking out some of my other ships. The other day, we got to sail on my sloop, The Daily SPUF, but recently, we played with one of Bacxaber’s old friends, a guy called Lego, who hadn’t played Sea of Thieves for over a year, and even then, they were still very… [Continue Reading]

A Distinct Lack of Yellow in Sea of Thieves

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Anyone who’s seen my Warframe articles knows that I normally use bright yellow on all my characters. Yellow is my favourite colour, it’s the colour of one of my main Phoviverse protagonists and I like to make sure that it’s everywhere. If I could, I would have made a yellow Bohrok, I do have a yellow head plate, but Bohrok limbs don’t come in yellow. In Sea of Thieves, I kinda wanted to continue my tradition of wearing yellow, but, well, I have like one option total. And it’s not even that yellow. I realized that there was no yellow… [Continue Reading]

Sea Forts are the Best

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Sea of Thieves has a lot of content you can do, but there’s one thing I do in pretty much every single Sea of Thieves session I have, even if I don’t intend to play very long. Even if I just intend on going fishing, I’ll always go to a Sea Fort before I do anything else, after I’ve bought all my supplies and stuff. Sea Forts are stone fortresses dotted across the Sea of Thieves. There are six of them total, and they all have the exact same layout, although there are three cosmetic themes: standard, prison and overgrown,… [Continue Reading]
