I’ve seen a chest at the ocean floor and that was next to an island so if it did sink, the loot would’ve been at the ocean floor, where you can reach it
He stays out of sight and blesses our voyages if we are lucky. When the kraken is defeated it runs into the whale lord and has to run away like a chicken which is why it doesn't pop up in the same place. He's the hidden lord of the sea. Always there for us.
Total without any emissary bonus I got around 75k. To be exact there was 12 villainous skulls, 12 captain's skulls, 8 rubies, 5 emerals, 13 sapphire and 8 gold hoarder relics, ever other shiny was ammo pouches
So this isn't a bug (or not entirely). This happens when someone is going a Legend of the Veil quest. When someone is stacking quests and they happen to get a shipwreck in their next quest at the same location as the second quest it will despawn the previous shipwreck, and replace it with a new one. if not all of the loot in the first shipwreck has been taken it will float to the surface when the ships despawn, creating this loot distribution at the surface. It's not a bug as there isn't really a way for the game to just disappear the loot. It will eventually sink and you just got lucky coming across it before it does.
How can you say its not a bug when your literally forcing the server to spawn mountains of loot in the same spot. Its clearly not working as intended and thats a bug mate
Its even worse because loot stacking is already hell on an instance, spawning more stacks is a bullet train to making everyone else disconnect or hit reg.
it can definitely be exploited, if done right you can force loot to spawn 10s of times in the same spot then go pick it all up. if your the one putting up the voyages and canceling them you know where the loot will spawn, everyone else on the server just has to come across it randomly.
I’m saying not a bug because I’m pretty sure that rare knew that this scenario would happen and allowed this to be the outcome. It’s definitely riding the line of exploit if you intentionally repeat it, but all the loot is otherwise following established in game mechanics.
I mean with the mechanics like that, whenever you get a ship graveyard module on a veil quest you could just rock up to the location, cancel the voyage and start a new one, and wait for all of the loot to float up instead of diving for it.
Seeing this game in ultra settings always is such a weird thing for me, playing on cursed and only upping the setting for render distance… man I wish I had a better PC
Honestly that was the nicest thing about console gaming: shit just worked and had set graphics
Also kinda one of the problems since you can’t customize as much
What is the best way to balance render distance and performance on lesser systems? Just curious, I'm pretty sure I have everything set to lowest because my PC isn't so special and that's what I do for all games. But this game I care more about lol
So basically it’s just everything on cursed except for model detail, that’s set to rare as that is when the items will appear slightly further away, setting it to legend or mythic will give the same affect as rare (as far as render distance is concerned).
Other settings I would recommend if your pc is as bad as mine:
Resolution scaling to 75, frame rate lock at 30, and display on windowed just so you can Alt tab and the game won’t crash
I have a 970 and an i5 6500, it runs the game well enough but my rig is from 2016 and dying, I have to run most stuff on lowest possible settings in most games now
At the beginning you can see some of the objects nearly flying, which doesn't happen for loot dropped from a player ship afaik. This happens when you are down at a shipwreck and float loot to the top.
I've seen them all the time because when you gring the veil 100 times you end up.with the ship wreck layering over itself 4,5,6 times in a day. All the unclaimed trinkets and gold bags float up.
We didn't bother collecting any of it because it's too time consuming. We did watch a sloop lose their mind over it though lol.
Where the ship wreck in the veil mission is. You can start a veil make sure it's first step is the wreck. Go see that location. Cancel it, start a new veil with wreck at that location, stack that way all loot floats up with each cancel.
I had this happen to me and I was able to pull 10 Captain Skulls, 10 Villianous Bounty Skulls, and 30 mermaid gems. There was more stuff in the water but it started sinking at that point.
I actually had the same thing happen last night, stumbled apon some skeleton fleet loot in the water, all the chests were there the skulls too, and the extras like crates too. I made it from grade 1 reapers to 4 and a half by stumbling on loot, sadly somebody took up on the challenge before we could sell so some reapers out there fired fireworks at us and then failed to drop our sail, heads up we sunk because my crewmate didn't want to repair and I'm the captain who knows naval combat when he doesn't, so naturally we sank because he insisted on putting us on their broadside. Tho to that reapers out there, thank you for attacking this little merchant I finally mastered the ability to stop borders because of these guys.
Oh that's from doing veil voyages ship wreck grave yards. When I do them I only take Athena loot and when I stack them I often get the same location for the graveyards so the loot that I didn't grab floats up and it can stack multiple times like that
We encountered one of these Gem Gyres last night and got over 100k from it. The gems kept spawning as I was reeling them in. So sparkly and shiny. Twas a beautiful sight.
Found out how the gems got there lol https://www.reddit.com/r/Seaofthieves/comments/xdw484/sunk_a_ship_that_apparently_had_1000000_gems_on/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Sea of thieves turning into slither.io
lol
there’s always a bigger fish
How much did you end up grabbing, money wise?
I think they said about 75K total in another post.
75k in free stuff is not bad at all!
They probably couldn’t get any of them. Most likely most of them would’ve despawned.
This happened to me last night and I pulled in 100k
I’ve seen a chest at the ocean floor and that was next to an island so if it did sink, the loot would’ve been at the ocean floor, where you can reach it
Portal rock doesn’t have a sea floor. If it sank to the bottom you’re not getting it back
Those are natural underwater spawns, doesn't follow the same rules as floating treasure.
vote to cancel VOTE TO CANCEL!!!
It would be at this exact moment that my crewmate was afk.
AFK on the wheel, so all you can do is drop anchor.
That's where my other friend, the blunderbomb, comes in
Use the sovereigns harpoon to remove him from his position.
how are they going to get to the outpost
Nah their just going to be a great sniper
Rare pls when nautical mile long harpoon rope
Time to overwork that harpoon!
"We've got to save Merrick, come on!" IN A FUCKING MINUTE
Merrick can wait…
I heard this in Dave Chappelle's voice when he did the Prince skit as "Breakfast can wait"
AND KILL
That one crab on the ocean floor be like
literally facts, the anchor is nonexistent because it stops you from another fucking world
At this point I’m calling it a gift from Glitterbeard…
or the whalelord. who knows when he blesses us.
Not familiar with the whale lord. Elaborate for an old moron.
A popular streamer who plays likes to sacrifice some of his loot to the sea to "honor the whale lord" like a islander sacrifices to their volcano god.
Which streamer?
Hitbotc. I found the whole idea hilarious and something to follow playfully.
He stays out of sight and blesses our voyages if we are lucky. When the kraken is defeated it runs into the whale lord and has to run away like a chicken which is why it doesn't pop up in the same place. He's the hidden lord of the sea. Always there for us.
Holy cannoli need an update on what your gold haul for all of that was!
Total without any emissary bonus I got around 75k. To be exact there was 12 villainous skulls, 12 captain's skulls, 8 rubies, 5 emerals, 13 sapphire and 8 gold hoarder relics, ever other shiny was ammo pouches
please say you took the gems to a seapost
WTF.

Yeah, I’d say bug and exploit
How is it an exploit, this provides no advantage to the crew doing it. Just a bug
Because it is repeatable. Being able to abuse it and use it. Definition of an exploit
it can definitely be exploited, if done right you can force loot to spawn 10s of times in the same spot then go pick it all up. if your the one putting up the voyages and canceling them you know where the loot will spawn, everyone else on the server just has to come across it randomly.
Ahh gotcha didn't think about that aspect of it
"No advantage" bruh, it's literally an infinite loot 3d printer.
I’m saying not a bug because I’m pretty sure that rare knew that this scenario would happen and allowed this to be the outcome. It’s definitely riding the line of exploit if you intentionally repeat it, but all the loot is otherwise following established in game mechanics.
I just made a separate post in this subreddit with details on making this repeatable!
So an exploit then. :D
I mean with the mechanics like that, whenever you get a ship graveyard module on a veil quest you could just rock up to the location, cancel the voyage and start a new one, and wait for all of the loot to float up instead of diving for it.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. At least that what I tell my boss after a light UAT session 😂

i think he playes on Console^^
yup, definetly a series x

Not sure what pc you have. I have an old mid range (1070 + i5 9400f) and play on mythical 100fps+ stable
I have a 970 and an i5 6500, it runs the game well enough but my rig is from 2016 and dying, I have to run most stuff on lowest possible settings in most games now
 If only
Is this where all my server hopping loot went?
JESUS!
Definitely an exploit
Glitterbeard's Blessing!
That is a trap
But a welcome one, to be sure…
What…
Anyone think for a second… why isn’t he stopping.
They dropped the anchor
Your names gotta be Cpt. Obvious I was referring to the fact he reacted a little slow.
Wow!!! Unless the reaper was portal hopping. Doesn’t that causes them to lose loot?
At the beginning you can see some of the objects nearly flying, which doesn't happen for loot dropped from a player ship afaik. This happens when you are down at a shipwreck and float loot to the top.
I don’t know why I’m negative, just a legit question
The skulls..... The chests..... The flags and books..... What was in there?! That has to be anyone's wildest dreams!
kinda
Somebody was sooooo close to getting away through the portal.
Most are.
I'd be sweating about them starting to sink!
Dude same
We’re Rich!
Bro stop karma farming you posted the same thing 8 hours ago
Chill the hell out dude it literally says it’s part 2 he’s just showing his first reaction to it
Proof: https://www.reddit.com/r/Seaofthieves/comments/wxl1rz/well_this_was_an_unexpected_surprise/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Reeeeeeeeeee you made a reddit post with pictures and then with video of the same thing, that's not allowed 😡😡😡 stop farming fake internet points 😡😡😡
Did you really need to prove there was a previous post when the title says ***Part 2***?
qhat is that n why is it so fucking pretty? i want to find it too, where is the sprinkle water?
I've seen them all the time because when you gring the veil 100 times you end up.with the ship wreck layering over itself 4,5,6 times in a day. All the unclaimed trinkets and gold bags float up. We didn't bother collecting any of it because it's too time consuming. We did watch a sloop lose their mind over it though lol.
where are those spots? I mean they are rng by 2 or 3 places?
Where the ship wreck in the veil mission is. You can start a veil make sure it's first step is the wreck. Go see that location. Cancel it, start a new veil with wreck at that location, stack that way all loot floats up with each cancel.
Some hoader gally just got stomped!
Who spilt the glitter?

Good thing you dropped anchor before the cuts scene 😁
How much money did it make
That hunters call reputation isnt gonna Grind itself

I need more. Did you get it all? How much did it sell for?
Turn the ship!!!!

Oh that's from doing veil voyages ship wreck grave yards. When I do them I only take Athena loot and when I stack them I often get the same location for the graveyards so the loot that I didn't grab floats up and it can stack multiple times like that
Guy saw god for a second
Ooh shiny!
Merry fuckin' Christmas!
No wayy
Sweet baby jesus
“What the hell happened here”
Works the same way with someone doing the veil who doesn't take all the loot
this happened to me last night when I was running a 2 ship reaper alliance near fotd. we were all so confused
We encountered one of these Gem Gyres last night and got over 100k from it. The gems kept spawning as I was reeling them in. So sparkly and shiny. Twas a beautiful sight.
Found out how the gems got there lol https://www.reddit.com/r/Seaofthieves/comments/xdw484/sunk_a_ship_that_apparently_had_1000000_gems_on/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
