How Much Have Quests ACTUALLY Changed? - Sea of Thieves

Still remember when finding a captains chest was truly something special

I wish more companies had replayable voyages like the veil. I understand it would make the veil less unique but the order of souls has, or rather had, the sword of souls and the gold hoarders still have an entire island, the merchant will probably get a voyage related to the grand maritime union.

Wow, Order of Souls was changed a lot over the years! ...

It's probably time for new quests for the main factions, which could use the module system as well for variety. Although coming up with a few brand new puzzle types for each faction could be a challenge. That being said, there have been a few things from adventures that could be repurposed into new mechanics. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

The order of souls should get better quests. Like hunting down harder captains with unique abilities that drop really good loot like stronghold skulls. Or even hunting down skeleton lords. And maybe even a really really special voyage where an island is covered in that green fog and you need to kill all of the captains and skeletons and destroy all the beacons or things that are causing the fog. Then the final wave has a skeleton lord or one of the really tough captains I talked about before.

Wait, I don't remember thieves haven runs ever being 1 per month. Unless this was just until the Ships of Fortune update, I remember doing like 12 in one day to get from 15-20 in athena

If I just want to chill, nothing beats the lost shipment voyage for Merchant Alliance for me. I just love that voyage. However, I also agree about Legend of the Veil. It's a great voyage. I'd even say it's my favorite. However, I've done that voyage 100 times, 98 times solo. After doing it 100 times I just can't bring myself to do another one. Just thinking about doing one now makes me ill. lol

You remember your first fort takedown if you played Sea of Thieves in Year One. You cherish it, feed off of it, then raise your fist at the clouds and these young'un pirates with their Ashen Winds, Skelly Fleets and don't get let em get started on Forts of Fortune!

I would love more story quests like legend of the veil in future

I do not miss Thieves Haven Runs being the meta, but they were a really fun way to get some PVP in the beginning. You could almost always find a boat there, and you knew they were bound to have some Athena loot.

I've grinded so many Veils, but mostly to get level five emissary so I could do the emissary quest. Since the emissary quest guarantees an Athena keg, of which I needed to sell 50 of for the ghost helm. Me and my buddy had it down to a system. Step 1: Complete a veil, claim emissary quest Step 2: lower and re raise flag, start another veil while at the outpost (this would normally overlap the Island destinations for both the Veil and Emissary quest) Step 3: Complete emissary quest and 1/3 of the Veil (This almost always guarantees grade five Athena flag) Step 4: Sell and repeat step 2 & 3

I just love doing Ashen Vaults, I'm a solo player so the Devil's Roar, although a pain in the butt, is the safest place for me to do voyages. The hauls are massive and the payment is amazing. Love doing 2-3 a day in the weekend.

I've always said that there needs a huge overhaul with the quests. Make all of them like Legend of the Veil basically. I also think that within it's 5 years of existence it's kinda bad that there's only been ONE new kind of voyage for each Trading Company. Gold Hoarder Vaults, Ghost ships, Merchant map quest dealio, and the Legend of the Veil. All of the others are just the same old same old that players have been doing.

I really hope they bring back the Accomplished Bone Crusher Wheel. That is by far my favorite cosmetic, and I can't help but feel like I'm being punished for not playing the game soon enough by permanently not being able to unlock it now. The same can be said about all of the other time locked cosmetics.

As a day 1 eye patch owner, i really want to emphasize just how much people farmed those few early quests, for such little reward. Newer players are spoiled.

I remember grinding the old merchant quests... relaxed times

Amazing summary of all Voyage types! Always enjoying your vids

I’m under the opinion that gold hoarders should get a quest either repurposing the shores of gold or adding trap gauntlets with huge loot pools at the end.

Adventures and Legend of the Veil and Tall Tales are proof that Rare can change certain places/npcs for whatever crew is doing the voyage/quest that causes that change while keeping the environment the same for crews not doing it. There is loads of potential in this yet Rare seems more content with doing just 2 week adventures that add nothing new to the game and are just a lazy reuse of assets already present in the game enough. Nice one Rare.

Been playing since Alpha, and I remember there weren't treasure chests and the riddles did not guarantee any specific treasure. You could've spent 20 mins doing the riddle and only end up with a Castaway. We used to cycle through voyages just to make sure we got treasure maps (X maps)
