Villainous Loot of Legends

    Can someone at Rare please increase the drop rate of villainous skulls of ancient fortune? Please. I know they're supposed to be difficult to obtain but seriously; I've completed four consecutive Thieves Haven runs along with one Pirate Lord Lord voyage and one emissary quest for good measure, and not one dropped. Every skull was regular ancient fortune variety.

    At least there's a guarantee of one barrel of ancient gunpowder on the Haven voyages, so the grind seems like there's an end in sight...eventually, but spending three hours on a voyage and not coming up with even one more tick towards that commendation is fairly frustrating. Thank you for listening.

    It’s supposed to be rare so I think the spawn rate is fine for the normal voyages.

    However I do think they should make it a guarantee for the skeleton captains in the emissary voyage. All the other trading companies give the best loot from their emissary quests, so I would make sense for skeleton captains in the emissary voyage to only drop villainous skulls.

    @mastafrag52 are you getting red and green lights to kill the shadows of fate at step 2 and 4?

    99% you will get the skull from one of them every quest. The other 1% it will be in the chest.

    If they ever up the spawn rate, they better double the amount needed for the commendation. This was honestly so easy and by the time you get 50, you still won't be athena 20 so I would just relax or grind.

    In the three Thieves Haven runs my buddy and I have completed since this post, one voyage dropped two of the villainous skulls (which was great) but the other two dropped none. Yes, I kill the green and red glowing skeletons and they drop a regular skull of ancient fortune at least 80% of the time.

    The Fort of Fortune would be a big lift for a single sloop to complete, and probably not worth the risk with the goal of a couple rare skulls.

    All I'm saying is that there's the guarantee of that one ancient gunpowder keg that spawns with a skeleton in the last wave of digs on Thieves Haven. It would be nice if there was a guarantee that the red glowing skeleton always dropped an ancient villainous skull. Or if the emissary quest, as one of the replies mentioned, always gave a couple. Then at least I know that I complete a Thieves Haven run 14 more times, and I complete my ghost livery. They way it is now, I might complete my ghost livery after 14 but it might also be 25. And that's damned tedious.
