Im a proud pirate owner of the overachiever sails, I really just wish they were something more grand to look at...im surprised at the amount of full sets i also have showcased here too as i never really summed them all up at once...the nostalgia is definitely real...i consider myself very lucky to have the items i do, even if i dont hardly use any anymore

Well keep in mind the time it was created, newer game=new company making cosmetics, in a few years people will be saying the same thing about today’s cosmetics

[@gemmaleng2241]

I have them aswell

[@Taaaamas]

Just coming in to correct/add-to something 😄 Regarding the Quartermaster Sails, it's not necessarily related to the Deckhand Sails. They have very different requirements/reasons. The Deckhand Sails were given to an official group of 'Deckhands' who were the original moderators in pre-launch, fighting off that chaos back in the day. They were given their own sails and title. They are not available in any way nowadays, as they honour the original people who did that work, which was a very very small team. The Quartermaster Sails (and title) are given to anyone who moderates any of Rare's social spaces (Steam, Discord, Forums, etc), any Community Managers (in-house or contracted) and our Customer Service and Support teams. They'd need to be on the team after March 10th 2022 when they were added. So technically they're still available, and there are only a few that have both the Deckhand and Quartermaster Sails that have stuck through ever since! It's still a fairly small subset of people, as those teams are quite small too 😄👍

[@Taaaamas]

Oh and the Fashionista's Finery Gloves was originally supposed to be 12, not 4. With 3 winners from each of the 4 themes. But gave instead to all 6 of each theme. So it'll be another 12 next time if all goes well. A good mention I think would've also been the Regions Sails from Cursed Sails! They're a hard find on the seas these days!

[@derdrache0512]

He also forgot the rarest sails in the game. The rare sail, only given out to some rare employees

[@joshicus_saint_anger]

My favorite rare cosmetics are my "friend of the sea" title and scars that I got from the first event that happened when I started playing. You were supposed to alliance up and do stuff together, but everybody was aggressive so I ended up just sinking a ton of skeleton sloops on my own. It ended up making me a lot better at the game. All my experienced friends were surprised at my skills. I think that's why I'm so proud of the title.

[@Just.Mike.]

I was an original pre-order player. I have the black dog clothing set, day 1 patch, and launch crew eye of reach. I did some googling, and I am blown away at how much money people are willing to spend on these cosmetics that do not actually exist in real life. Crazy!

[@swerzio]

Same! I went back and was pleasantly surprised about how many rare cosmetics I have 😂 the bone crusher tattoo and scars were a real bitch to get

[@Kodaiva]

Thats what happens when you base stuff on fomo

[@Frostycrypton]

You’ve brought back some memories for me: - My regret at not getting the Wailing Barnacle flintlock and blunderbuss (I used to never use these weapons, and spent all my doubloons on the rest of the set) - The ridiculous amount of time I spent grinding to hit pirate legend before the first anniversary. I bought so many letters of commendation to get my levels up to max (especially merchant) and was grinding up until the last day or two.

[@flashpone7910]

I'm so sad I played back then during some of these events but never pushed to get these items. I was so scared to do anything difficult back then, as I mostly played solo. I also don't agree that it's unfortunate the Legend curse was brought back. I don't think stuff like that should be time limited. Sails and certain clothing items, sure. But a whole curse?

[@GooberLoofer420]

My buddies and I never gave up on SoT and played from launch through all the tough times, grinded like hell to take down all the skeleton fleets for the time limited awards, and it actually makes me quite angry that they made bone crusher stuff available again, the drum also told a lesser extent. Kind of a middle finger to the people who kept your game on life support.

[@Belliferous]

Remember the first few months were a pain to grind gold to buy the few cosmetics that were available? Nowadays gold rains from everywhere and the grind was cut in half. Not really salty about it. Just funny how hard we worked versus todays newer players

[@BigGuyPaladin]

My free cosmetics came back 😡

[@tomtenak4967]

You playing the game when it was dead had zero affect on what the game has become. That was Rare. And US as a community. Not you. You’re speaking like you two donated money to keep their servers running. Please don’t give yourself credit for keeping the game alive just because you logged in and played. You didn’t do anything except waste your time on an unfinished game.

[@XUM4N]

From the perspective of a newish player, the grind still exists… it’s just not painful. I’ve gone through this situation with all of my day one apex legends cosmetics. It just is what it is, and I’m glad other players can get cool cosmetics too.

Recently i have always looked through things that i couldve got if i knew about twitch drops and time limited cosmetics in 2020 :/

[@jeerkku]

The one set I feel people often fail to mention with these rare time limited set discussions is the Courage set. You could get it in the summer of 2020 by doing in total 36 challenges. Personally only have the bucket and lantern, while I only know of one other person who has parts of the set.

[@RhodonGD]

Ghost Captain Sail - You can run the level 25 OoS big Voyage and just do the Ghost Fleet. It is nerfed and only has 2 waves, the final boss only has 2 ships next to it and not 4. It is very easy. Once you get the skull just cancel and drop another OoS level 25 captain Voyage. It spawns at the next island most of the time so you can bounce back and forth.

[@xiriusyt4274]

you've given me a new appreciation for my captain bones' original piece

[@BarDiDar]

Love the video! I've got a lot of these cosmetics, but really love seeing the super exclusive stuff that I don't and won't have. Some of mine include ferryman, full silver blade, some sapphire blade (currently to week 129 of insiders), brave vanguard, black dog, obsidian everything except the capstan for over three years. I've also played since the alpha, and I'm sailing towards five years on the Sea of Thieves ☠️.

[@unk9i152]

At 12:27 the figure head is not a part of that ship set, its, its own figure head back in 2019 or 2020 I can't remember but it was a fishing event which made you catch 180 ruby splash tails, it's rare because no one wanted to do it and player count was a bit low

[@AShinyRay]

I know. Its the Gold Hauler figurehead. Its just showing off a cool combo.

[@captain_crossbone3471]

Back when cursed sails first dropped I played on on of the very very view glitched servers. Mike Chapman actually mention this server back when they did weekly update videos. I played with three total crews for about 6 hours getting every achievement. We were able to do this because the skeletons weren’t spawning on the ships. Actually no npcs were spawning at all ei. Pigs chickens.

[@zelotaz]

Hey Ray great video! However I think you forgot about about the Silvered legendary Eyepatch that was only obtainable back in april cause it was a limited time celebration item that required you to be a pirate legend. Not sure how many people logged in to get it but I could see it having a spot on the list. God I do love seeing BB sails mentioned here. They removed the world event as I was like halfway through getting them but by God I wasn't letting that stop me so I had to grind oos and then grind ghost fleets to get BB to spawn a couple more times. They are my favorite sails and the only ones I use for my main galleon.

[@OneOddPerson]

I've now just learned that I had some of the rarest items in the game due to this video. (Golden sailor cannon and hat as well as skeleton throne event items)

[@m1sterpunch]

The reaper merc ships sets are my fave and I have all the sail variations. The golden skull sails are probably my fave though. And the obsidian ship set. Still need my capstan though.

[@captains4884]

A little correction about gloves competition, originally it was supposed to be 12 out of 24. I am one of the lucky 24 proud owners that got Fashionista's Finery Gloves! Got showcase video on my channel too.

[@moltedjet2132]

i still remember getting pl like hours before the 1st anniversary update dropped im still thankfull to a gally open crew for sticking with me

[@OperatorDanger]

I’m a proud owner of the Brave Vanguard sails. I remember playing this game with a single island and only a few squares of water to travel on. I waited 2 years for this game to release early access. Unfortunately when the game fully released it was stale on content so I haven’t played since release.

[@AuraShard]

While not rare I feel it should be atleast remembered. The silvered legendary eyepatch. Which was given out at 1 million pirate legends. And is now unavalible.

[@5mut1]

i wish they would do updates that are basicly events that give exclusive stuff like theese ones, it encourages people to play during that time and seems like such a fun idea

[@grandwizard2450]

How egoistic to say that the legendary curse is 'unfortunately' coming back, its part of the pirate legend set, Rare just made a mistake by putting it in the season pass. It should have been pirate legend related reward. I suppose season 1 players do feel a bit screwed by this, but its Rare's fault in the end.

I fortunately pre ordered and played at launch and haven’t missed an Adventure or Plunder Pass meaning I have a whole lot of the rarer stuff, but unfortunately I basically didn’t play during the first few big updates, and am missing a lot of the random limited time stuff I probably simply didn’t realize I had to log in to get. Also no obsidian capstan or 6 pack which is unfortunate but I don’t tend to enjoy watching streams.

[@flashpone7910]

@@Ninja_Naranja It has a lot less limited time stuff nowadays. But I would like to say, saying you love that stuff is getting rarer is also basically loving people not playing the game anymore. The reason they get rarer is because less people are playing over time. Those that earned them not playing anymore. I don't think the game is dying, but just pointing out the logic there.

@@flashpone7910 the reason they’re getting rarer is because more people are joining the game for the first time. So you become less and less likely to run into vets if the majority of the population is newer players.
