Gadzooks! - Someone Has Finally Earned Every Sea of Thieves Achievement!!

  • Massive congratulations and grog all round!!

    Earlier this year, we presented analysis on Sea of Thieves and the unprecedented grind players would face if they were trying to complete 100% of its achievements. We said in the story that to complete the game, one would need several thousand hours of playing time, far exceeding any other game in the history of Xbox achievements. We said Rare would need to alter the way their game works if anyone was to ever earn all the achievements. Eventually, they did just that, lowering the bar from an absurd estimated 10,000+ hours to finish the game to somewhere around 2,000 or so. We know that because community member and avid completionist Zyx just became the world's first pirate to earn every single Sea of Thieves achievement.

  • /Tiphat to the noble Captain that has all the achievements! Not like I'm going to go APE with those banana crates ;)

  • First - Congratulations, that's dedication.

    Second - 2k hours for 100%? That's still crazy excessive.
    I wonder if they spammed level 0 missions with a junk profile or ran them all level 50s.

    Anyone know their progress on those wood crate commendations? I have 2 total I think.

  • I see your "Gadzooks" and add in a Great Googly Moogly!

    Nicely done, Capt'n Zyx!

  • How did he/she manage to deliver 1000 banana crates in time? That's the true question... I've put lot of days in the game but i only have 4% while i mostly finished all the other achievements. Strange because i always do these quest when i have one. This achievement will take me more than ten years by playing 6-8 hours every day. Something is wrong...

    I’ve noticed the banana quests have been popping up more frequently, but still, I’m lucky to get 1 or 2 during an evening’s play session scouring islands and barrels of plenty. I’m currently (played since release) at 19/1000!

  • @KattTruewalker Ayeee! @zyx is a true legend in the SoT!

    I said it once on his thread and I’ll say it again! A massive well done, you have the patience and will of a saint!
    Maybe a pirate times call out next month will be incoming! It be surley newsworthy!

  • Didnt he say in his own reply on the other thread that he isnt the first because it wasnt real?? Lol. I mean as rod runner said im pretty sure nobody has filled 1000 banana crates and turned them in by now.

    Though its safe to say that if they have never challenge that person to a competition to watch grass grow or paint dry. Lol.

  • I really think devs should take a look at this because that looks like a joke or glitch or hack... Seriously Rare... Just to say, i don't wanna be the "first" and i'm not near to be the first. The more i think, the more i find that strange.

  • I was just in Zyx profile and wanted to compare to mine and i was surprised i can't see his achievements, just the stats comparison worked. For me, there's something strange... I could be wrong...

  • @rod-runner-67

    I was able to compare his achievements to mine on the xbox beta app and the article details quite carefully how this was tracked and achieved.

    He did call out Merchant Forager, the infamous 1,000 banana crates delivered achievement as being the most grueling but it was made easier recently thanks to an update that allowed message in a bottle missions to appear more frequently and even in barrels now. From there, it became a grind of island-hopping until he found enough such voyages.

  • @rod-runner-67 all achievements are unlocked on the Xbox profile. (Banana Crates as of 17/11/2018 for example)

  • Wow. Congratulations!

  • @rod-runner-67

    Try to restart the app, I'm able to see all his Achievements!

    Zyx did unlock the Merchant Forager Achievement 4 days ago.

    He sailed 17M meters, I don't think there is any reason to question what he has achieved. It's pretty impressive, it's the double of what I've done but I've never tried to unlock this Achievement.

    Anyway, well done to him! That's a huge amount of time to sail the Sea of Thieves and he deserves this title!

  • Incredible! Congrats @Zyx :) I didn't think it was possible to get 1000 in this game but you are a true legend. We salute you!

  • @a-cranky-eskimo @Rod-Runner-67 have 4 people load into separate closed Galleons search through all the barrels at the outpost, if you get a banana crate mission everyone loads in on that person. If not restart. Do this every day for a couple months. And you'll get 1000.

    More generally yah lvl 1 alts were used for the mission completions, and probably other tactics that might be seen as questionable. But @Zyx was definitely always playing himself.

  • @a-cranky-eskimo no he was saying he doesn't know for sure that he's the first because that acheivment is saying 1% of players have it. Even though we know that number is crazy. He's the first though, to have it tracked on True Achievements, and more then likely one of only a handful of people even trying to get the acheivment, and the first to actually do so.

  • Literally who cares?!? Was going to make a thread asking if this game was still a total joke and this did the trick for me. Now i dont have to make a thread and have the mods shut it down because they dont understand their job or the frustrations behind spending 60$ on a 5$ product.

  • @arisechicken666 I suppose it comes down to personal preference and expectations.

    I personally felt like I got my money’s worth during the TA and that was months before I had to actually put any money on the table.

    Don’t get me wrong it doesn’t mean I haven’t had my criticisms. I’m usually pretty vocal about them much to everyone’s displeasure! I hear they even give every forum member a pair of ear plugs now because of my rants xD

    And technically you can get the game for $5 if you get game pass ;)

    Also I care personally, it might not mean much to some but I’m a bit of an achievement hunter myself so seeing a feat like this is definitely something that puts me in awe.

  • @arisechicken666

    I care.

    Perhaps making a constructive critique and opening an interesting discussion about your experiences would be a good start and not trying to bring other threads off-topic.

  • Awesome Achievement, that must've been so tedious, congratulations @Zyx!

  • Congrats @Zyx, that's an awesome achievement!

  • @Zyx

    you bow to no one

  • I wonder if the achievements that were tied to the commendation adjustments will be changed soon?

  • @rod-runner-67 because they lowered everything its not 1k anything anymore .. big let down by the devs of the game imo ..AND just saying that guy named up there is just the first to complete it and tell everyone and want the fame hahah ive had all the commendations for a looooong time now got most when they were at 1k not 300 for grade V besides the messed up commendations back then I obvs didnt have like the fort skulls because it was broken but def have them now .. all in all the only reason to my comment is this is now an EASY FEAT .. what about back when I delivered 1k pigs to get my commendation I FEEL RIPPED OFF WHY LOWER IT FOR THE NOOBS anyways I could care less.. as one of the ppl that almost beat prodigycheatbag to pirate legend legitly, its because I like the game and dont care how much the devs mess things up by changing them around and catering to the noobs, quite funny though.

  • @dekeita simpsons did it .. . (def not the first) just the first to want ppl to aknowledge ,,
    congrats to the dude on getting it done though, first or not.

  • @p0pc0rnh3mer01d he actually got 1k banana crates though for the acheivment. Which are all still at the old numbers.

  • @katttruewalker cool I know already

  • @p0pc0rnh3mer01d I don't want any kind of fame, I discovered this thread now, I never asked to @KattTruewalker to made it as the"interview" on TA was a N0T PENNYS B0AT idea.
    I'm never said anywhere that I'm the best pirate or the first pirate in everything, I only unlocked all the achievements before anyone else because I'm an achievement hunter and completionist.
    If you have better stats then me, congrats I'm not challenging you, I have a friend (Reverend Reb) with almost all commendation to 1000 (he missed only the crates) before they lowered it, he was a better pirate then me but i left the game after commendation change instead he will be the first.

    BTW thank you everyone, I'm really proud of myself for finally completing all achievements. Finally I will be able to sail serenely without having to always think of all those bananas XD

  • Immortalize him in game!! This is my SoT dream haha

  • @zyx “now I can finally play the game” haha congrats man m!!

  • @p0pc0rnh3mer01d @Zyx

    Just to reiterate what Zyx has said here, I linked the article from twitter because it is a mammoth achievement and the first we've heard of someone reaching this goal, most likely because Zyx is a member of Trueachievements which tracks this sort of thing and picked up and reported on by Mark because he's also someone who enjoys Sea of Thieves.

    It's certainly something the Community and Rare would wish to celebrate whether or not that pirate is on the forums. It's a fantastic thing to have done!

    To anyone else who has also achieved this milestone:

    A massive congratulations!!!

    Are you confusing commendations with achievements? You've completed all achievements? I tried reviewing your account achievements to see when you completed the last one but it looks like you currently do not have them shared.

    @Zyx Awesome job! You have done something I will never accomplish.

  • @skulliah Not in the slightest, im already maxed out in all reps and have been for the last 5 ish months. Theres really no experience in the game that is unique to me. Its just a dead in the water game now compared to launch, sea of toddlers if anything. I wont be making my own threads because the mods will instantly shut it down as they have before, now i know your probably thinking "oh i bet it was toxic." Far from it actually, we broke down exactly why we thought cursed sails was rushed and just bad in terms mechanics and world building, They literally told is its magic we dont have to explain sh*t. I self censored this because watch one of these goons pop in and tell me im not allowed to censor myself, UK online policies at its finest.
