Masters of the Flame, I seek guidance

  • To those loyal to the Flame and the goal of freeing the Sea of Thieves from bureaucracy and the controlled flow of gold. I seek guidance from you. Mainly asking all of you to share your experiences from your adventures as Reaper Emissaries.

    • How often do you find opposition while flying under the Reaper's Bones colours?
    • Once you reach Grade 5, do people tend to leave you alone completely, out of fear that you are a competent PvP-er?
    • How often do you encounter ships intercepting you, compared to ships avoiding you like the plague?
    • When you actively chase down ships, do they fight valiantly and give you a challenge more often, compared to scuttling at the sight of your ship or getting sunk in 30 seconds?

    What is your overall experience running a Reaper Emissary? I aim to get to the top 25% of the emissary ledger every month to unlock the ship set for every faction and I want to know if I will cut it as a Reaper or if I should practice more before painting a target on my back for others to see. I've won some PvP encounters with friends already and clocked in 130hrs in the game, I can hit cannon shots pretty frequently but my boarding still has a lot of room for improvement.

  • Never got any kind of attacks when my master first brought the spanish forts to life.

    However, Ever since that fool Ramsey decided that he finally allows pirates to be captains, I started to get attacked a lot.

    Grade does not matter. People just go for reapers. These attacks might end when that fool Merrick is rescued by Ramsey and end the hunters cry (AKA. Mid season lul).

    When I attack ships they run, try to board and insult me by calling me g*y. Whatever that means. Flameheart is a great scholar. He might teach me.

  • I was hoping for a little more activity on this thread, since I want to play a bit of Reaper's Bones also in the game. :(

  • Most of it comes to the region you are playing on at the time and what times you are playing on what targets are out there.

    One session I can see ships that will just try escape and fail, others that are not worth wasting the time on and others that choose to come after us.

    There are less ships that actually give a decent challenge compared with those that are easier targets to be fair, if the crew are skilled and legit win the battle then that helps me improve, if its one that is being toxic then I will just swap sessions to save on the blood pressure.

    It's really not that hard to rank up in the emissary ledgers as its just loot based and you can farm out the forts/events/voyages between hunting other ships which is what I tend to do to mix it up and keep it from getting stale in longer sessions.
