News Tag: Skull And Bones Season 1

Like many live-service games, Skull and Bones provide players with fresh content as new seasons every once in a while, and Smuggler’s Pass is the content that Season 1 players focus on.

After unlocking Smuggler’s Pass, complete a variety of weekly, monthly, and seasonal challenges to earn additional seasonal rewards. Here’s everything players need to know about Smuggler’s Pass and Tokens in Skull and Bones.

How To Unlock Smuggler’s Pass?

To unlock the seasonal Smuggler’s Pass, players need to open the menu and navigate to the store. Alternatively, players can follow any prompt provided when the game launches.

After navigating to Smuggler’s Pass purchase page in the store, any player with a token can easily unlock the pass without purchasing any additional in-game currency. Of course, you can also choose to trade some Silver with Token to unlock a small amount of Smuggler’s Marks.

After getting the pass, players must take a few more steps to actually claim their seasonal rewards for the season.

Receive African Ailment Contract

Before players delve into exploring the challenges and rewards throughout the season, they first need to interact with the newest NPCs in Pirate Den. Among them, Saint Anne Den is almost a must-see for you.

Players need to talk to the pirates here and complete African Ailment contract to open Smuggler’s Pass menu. Players cannot access the challenges or rewards list until the first contract is completed. So you’d better complete the contract assigned by Smuggler’s Network pirate as soon as possible.

This contract is very simple. You just sink a Plaguebringer ship, collect the captain’s head, and return to Pirate Den.

Sink A Plaguebringer

During the battle, players will find that Plaguebringer’s level is very high. So I suggest you make sure to prepare repair kits, food and other Skull and Bones Items, and equip the best ship to join the battle. If possible, team up online with some friends or other villains to increase your chances of success.

Once players find and defeat Plaguebringer ship, be prepared for an influx of more Plaguebringer ships. Note that since the player has the captain’s head, this faction’s ships will become more reluctant and will chase the player to the end of the map.

Collect And Turn In The Captain’s Head

Notably, players can sail to the nearest outpost and return directly to Saint Anne after collecting the captain’s head. Alternatively, you can store the captain’s head in a warehouse to prevent Plaguebringer ship from becoming hostile to you, thereby bypassing the voyage back to Saint Anne.

If players are up for a challenge, they can trek back to any Pirate Den with the captain’s head to battle Plaguebringer. This is also a great way for you to accumulate infamy points and earn silver chests.

Once players return to Smuggler’s Network pirate and turn in the head of one of Le Peste’s captains, they will gain full access to Smuggler’s Pass.

Challenges And Rewards

The pass is now available in the log. Open the menu and click on the far left to find Smuggler’s Pass content. Here, players can see all the challenges and rewards they can tackle during the 90-day season.

The challenges are divided into two parts: rolling wave challenges that can be completed monthly and weekly. By completing these challenges, players will earn Smuggler’s Marks, a currency that can be redeemed for rewards throughout the season.

Players can spend these currencies on Quartermaster, Gunner Master, and Shipmaster Trees to unlock 30 individual rewards for each tree.

In addition, players can unlock two additional rewards in Completionist Tree, get a new Barque ship blueprint after unlocking 45 rewards, and get a new pet after unlocking all 90 rewards.

Players can also speed up progress in Smuggler’s Pass by simply earning infamy points. This means there are also certain seasonal rewards for completing contracts and simply sinking ships.

Please note that Season 1 Smuggler's Pass progress will reset at the end of the 90-day season. So get out there and earn rewards as soon as possible!

Here's the new Skull and Bones guide! Today, I am going to show you something about the legendary Ouroboros armor. We’re going to delve into some rigorous testing to determine the true prowess of this remarkable piece of gear. So, without any more delays, let’s dive right in and get started on our analysis!

Ouroboros Overview

The Ouroboros armor is a complete package, boasting a value of 400 points on a ship. It excels in prolonged combat situations, courtesy of its perk, Amalgamate, which not only restores health while bracing but also replenishes HP outside of combat, reducing the need for Repair Kits significantly.

This armor provides robust protection against Explosive, Flooding, and Fire damage, making it remarkably versatile. It offers substantial resistances - 20% to explosions, 30% to flooding, and fire - which can prove invaluable in combat situations.

How To Get This Armor?

If you make your way over to Lenitra, you’ll find that this is the place where you can obtain the illustrious Ouroboros armor. However, acquiring it won’t come cheap - it will set you back 50 of those coveted Monstrous Tooth. So, hopefully, you’ve been diligently farming since the game’s inception to gather these teeth, as they are the sole means by which you can obtain this blueprint.

When it comes to acquiring Monstrous Tooth, there are a couple of avenues you can explore. Daily contracts are one reliable source, and another fruitful method is farming Zamaharibu. I highly recommend tackling this endeavor in a group for maximum efficiency.

Perhaps most intriguing are its crafting requirements. To fashion this remarkable armor, you’ll need 4 Ouroboros scales and 4 Monstrous scales, along with a selection of other materials that can be obtained through diligent farming efforts.

Unique Abilities

Next, let’s take a look at its unique abilities. Firstly, it comes equipped with Amalgam, a feature we'll be putting to the test. Amalgam allows for the restoration of 15% of total health while bracing, a beneficial effect that activates upon initiating a brace.

Besides, the armor boasts Restoration, which steadily regenerates 100 severe damage every second. While the usefulness of this ability may vary depending on the situation, it can prove particularly advantageous when contending with flooding damage or engaging formidable bosses.

Testing The Performance Of Ouroboros

So, I conducted an experiment where I intentionally lowered my health and engaged in some bracing, observing a slight increase in health upon releasing the brace. Although the health restoration was minimal, it was indeed present. Consequently, I made the decision to replace my Brigatine with the Ouroboros armor, considering its higher health capacity.

Given that Amalgam promises a 15% health restoration, I hypothesized that having more total health might yield greater benefits. To optimize its potential, I equipped the armor on the Snow, which boasts higher health stats, and supplemented it with various furniture pieces aimed at enhancing stamina recovery, increasing stamina, and augmenting health. This strategic approach aimed to maximize the advantages offered by this exceptional armor.

Let's go back into the testing phase. Once again, I braced myself and observed the outcome. The health restoration was, I'd say, marginally improved, perhaps about the same. While the regained health is modest, it still provides some assistance. Additionally, the ability to recover severe damage per second proves valuable, especially during boss encounters.
