Three Of My Favourite Activities in the Sea of Thieves

The Sea of Thieves has a huge amount to do. There are islands everywhere, there are world events and there are creatures in the water that want you dead. From finding sunken ships to killing Ashen Lords, there is plenty to do. Here are my favourite things to do on the Sea of Thieves. Sea Forts I have always liked Sea Forts. They’re a nice, simple activity that is normally always available, unless someone has recently completed the fort just before you get there. Generally, the best time to do a sea fort is just before you set off on… [Continue Reading]

A New Sea of Thieves Adventure: A Dark Deception

I don’t normally get a chance to do adventures in the Sea of Thieves. Often, by the time I am available to play these adventures, everyone else has already done it, and I don’t want to drag people into doing things again for me. Sure, some can be done by playing solo, and A Dark Deception, the newest adventure as of writing, is easy enough. But was A Dark Deception any good? Adventures are a one-off event. A Dark Deception will available to play for the next two weeks, before it disappears forever. Really, they are pretty stupid with how… [Continue Reading]

There’s No Such Thing as a Short Sea of Thieves Session

In the Sea of Thieves, being patient is a big part of the game. Everything takes time, and sessions can easily get longer and longer as the night goes on. The last time I played Sea of Thieves, we were at it for hours, getting various commendations done while also sailing with emissary stuff. We did several Veil missions and got a lot of loot. This took us quite a long time, and there wasn’t really a chance to make it take less time. So where does this time actually go? Getting started and actually setting sail takes a long… [Continue Reading]

The Most Chaotic Hourglass Battle Ever

After a long day of doing Veil missions and working towards commendations, the members of the Barnacled Bastion realized that we had a lot of resources. Like, a lot a lot. We had so many resources that we had two storage crates pretty much filled with cannonballs, and we also had a huge amount of food and wood too. We had over a hundred mangoes and a good stack of pineapples, enough for us to all have something nice to eat. So, before ending our session, we decided to do one Hourglass battle, fighting as Guardians of Fortune. Now, I… [Continue Reading]

Sea of Thieves – Fight Back, Dammit!

The other day, Stormcloud made a massive amount of gold, as well as making progress on ledgers and things like that. Not only did we manage to make over 350k gold, we also sank a few ships and I got to level 79 on the season. But the sinking of ships was rather odd. We sunk three ships and, well, none of them fought back. Why? I have no idea! Seriously, one of them we managed to keg, with Fox taking an obvious rowboat all the way to the victim ship, and easily managed to detonate not one but TWO… [Continue Reading]

Sea of Thieves – The Ledger

In the Sea of Thieves, there’s a lot of stuff under the surface that’s honestly quite easy to miss. On one hand, there are hundreds of commendations that unlock all sorts of things and grant all sorts of rewards. On the other hand, there’s the Ledger. This is something I’ve only recently become aware of. So basically, the Ledger is like a global challenge. Everyone who does emissary stuff is automatically logged in the Ledger, and you get points according to what you do as an emissary. There are four ranks, three of which have rewards, as a bronze, silver… [Continue Reading]

My Problems With Sea of Thieves

I love Sea of Thieves. It’s a unique game, perhaps the only real game of its genre, and I absolutely adore it. There’s something wonderful about roaming the waves, murdering passers by and getting huge amounts of treasure. However, I do have a few small problems with Sea of Thieves, and I think it’s worth talking about. Before I start though, there are definitely some things which aren’t the fault of Sea of Thieves. One of my bigger problems is loading times, but that’s because my laptop is a little weak. Sea of Thieves requires an SSD drive in order… [Continue Reading]

A Warm Welcome Back to the Sea of Thieves

A while back, I kinda stopped playing Sea of Thieves, or any games in general. All I played was Pokemon GO. When it comes to Sea of Thieves in particular, a single gameplay session can end up being rather long. I just didn’t have the stamina for hours of gaming. But after a day of almost binge-watching my friend Bacxaber’s Sea of Thieves videos, I decided that I needed to get back into playing Sea of Thieves again. So I asked Bacxaber if he was available to play and he said yes. That evening, we got on a sloop, then… [Continue Reading]

Things I Hate in Sea of Thieves

I love Sea of Thieves. It’s a great game and you really get the freedom of being a pirate in the open sea. However, the game isn’t perfect, and there are definitely a few things that I really don’t like about the game. After all, no game is perfect. Get your ass moving The default movement speed in Sea of Thieves isn’t the greatest. Both in water and on land, you can sprint and swim alright, but that all stops when it comes to loot. While it makes sense that carrying a massive treasure chest would slow you down, carrying… [Continue Reading]

The Curse of Resources in Sea of Thieves

In the Sea of Thieves, there are multiple curses that can affect your character, altering how you look and completely changing your body. The Ashen curse looks like there is fire surging through your veins, while the Gold Curse is Midas’s Touch gone both right and wrong. There are also new curses, the skeleton curse from joining the Servants of the Flame, and the ghost curse from the Guardians of Fortune. But there is one curse on the Sea of Thieves that isn’t mostly cosmetic. I’m talking about the Curse of Resources. Funnily enough, I never noticed this curse at… [Continue Reading]
