stormcloud – The Daily SPUF

The Little Stormcloud, pledged to the Calcium Kings guild

More Little Stormcloud Adventures

December 17, 2023December 14, 2023 Medic 0 Comments little stormcloud, sea of thieves, stormcloud

The Little Stormcloud doesn’t see that much action. Up until recently, my brig saw very little action, being barely painted and decorated. However, with Guilds in the Sea of Thieves, Little Stormcloud finally got a chance to get some use. I pledged her to my guild, the Calcium Kings, and she’s now available for use by everyone in the Calcium Kings guild. And, occasionally, we take her out on adventures. I say “occasionally”, I mean twice. Her first proper excursion saw her unlock the majority of name plates, in a massive adventure that saw us make a fucking huge sum… [Continue Reading]

Why the Sloop is the Best Ship

October 24, 2022October 17, 2022 Medic 0 Comments sea of thieves, sloop, stormcloud

On my first few voyages, I played either in a brig or a galleon. The brig and galleon Stormcloud ships are mighty beasts that tear through the seas, chewing up their opposition. To the point that people have seen the name Stormcloud and instantly bailed. Back in those early adventures, it was nice to have other people on board Bacxaber’s ship, because I was still learning the ropes. Lately though, I was invited to play on a sloop, which is for two people only. And boy did it improve my experience on sailing and combat. In a single session, Bacxaber… [Continue Reading]

A Gentle Fishing Trip for the Soul

October 18, 2022October 9, 2022 Medic 0 Comments peaceful, sea of thieves, stormcloud

Sometimes, violence isn’t on the menu. Instead, fish is on the menu. There are tons of commendations and the like that require fishing. The Hunter’s Call buys your fish and you can catch a bunch of different species in the varied waters of the Sea of Thieves. Fishing is also pretty peaceful, and is a great time to chat while. Which is why we spent two hours on the Stormcloud, simply fishing. The commendations we were working on required fishing for a specific species, the Pondie. The best place for fishing Pondies is the Fort of Fortune, whenever it’s not… [Continue Reading]

Reapers, Glitterbeards and Forts – More Adventures on the Stormcloud

August 23, 2022August 17, 2022 Medic 0 Comments fun, glitterbeard, sea of thieves, stormcloud

It’s always fun being on a big ship with plenty of cannons. 4-player Galleons are big and tanky and somewhat threatening, especially to other ships. In this session though, the plan wasn’t to reap and tear. Instead, we were playing as emissaries for the Gold Hoarders, in order to help me reach level 50 and become a Pirate Legend. Luckily this wasn’t too hard to do. We ended up doing some vaults… well, the same vault 3 times, making lots of gold. As we sailed though, we did meet a very aggressive sloop. Luckily they were no threat to us.… [Continue Reading]

A Massive Sea of Thieves Adventure on the Stormcloud

August 8, 2022August 7, 2022 Medic 0 Comments alliance, awesome, bacxaber, sea of thieves, stormcloud

The other day, the Stormcloud set off from an outpost, ready for adventure. The plan was simple: get supplies, then make our way towards leveling up Reapers. After a somewhat unenjoyable session the day before, there were high hopes that our new session would be better. Those high hopes were very quickly met, and became one of our biggest and best adventures yet. Simply put, it was insane. So here’s what happened. A Calm Beginning Our day started off quite simple. We raised our flag as Reapers, then set off to get supplies. The first thing we did was take… [Continue Reading]

More Adventures on the Stormcloud – Sea of Thieves

July 17, 2022July 9, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pirates, sea of thieves, stormcloud

It’s funny what some people do for cosmetics. I once spent ages doing a boss fight in Warframe to get Shocking Step, an ephemera. But some cosmetics are insanely out of reach, particularly in the Sea of Thieves. Lately, my adventures in the Sea of Thieves has mostly involved doing Veil missions. If I do enough of them, then I get a cool hat. By enough, I mean like 50 of this mission, which can easily take an hour or so. But alas, Bacxaber and his crew really, really want this hat. And I don’t blame them, it’s a cool… [Continue Reading]

A First Glance at Sea Of Thieves

April 13, 2022April 9, 2022 Medic 1 Comment pirate, sea of thieves, sot, stormcloud

Sea of Thieves is a neat pirate game by game developers Rare, where you can sail the seas, loot and plunder fortresses, kill skeletons and occasionally fight with other pirates for epic loot. It’s a massive game with an unclaimed sea and all sorts of mystery. Sea of Thieves is also a game that I’ve wanted to try for a while, and a recent 50% off discount allowed me to try it. Now, most of the time, I’d be diving into this game straight away, on my own. But I’m a very lucky person, and I have some damn good… [Continue Reading]
