Need Tips on Completing Skeleton Cosmetics and Hourglass Matches

-

Hey everyone! I just got my skeleton curse and I’m working on collecting cosmetics outside of the hourglass mode. I have a couple of questions that need some clarification. First, for the ‘kill a ghostly pirate’ challenge — do I have to eliminate an enemy pirate, or can I take out a crewmate with blunder bombs? Also, regarding the ‘playing seek the dead’ with another skeleton, is it quicker to just jump into hourglass matches to find another skeleton player, or should I reach out on Discord or Xbox to find someone to join me?

Join an open crew and just ask around if anyone’s got the curse. It shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes to find someone. I’ve spotted plenty of cursed players just hanging around when I’m looking for crews.

Both options work with crewmates! But in my opinion, the easiest way to snag those crimson bones is to keep grinding hourglass and then just invite another skeleton player onto your ship with your mic. If you’re solo, you might even give them the win and then team up — that way, it’ll be a lot quicker!

Haha, nice! I totally agree. The skeleton economy is tough though, so good luck with the pricing!

CaptainCursed -

Yep, you can work on that with crewmates! I found someone to help me with the commendations right after the update. You might have better luck looking for help in Discord though; I’m sure someone will be willing to join you.

You can definitely take out a crewmate while wearing the ghost curse. I did it with my brother before! As for your other question, I think finding someone via Discord may be a better approach since hourglass matchmaking can be a bit hit or miss. Good luck!

SkellyJoe -

You can totally do it with crewmates. I just got 100% in servants recently, and I gotta say, getting the 1K miles after getting the curse takes forever!

TreasureSeeker99 -

If you start solo in hourglass and offer the win when playing ‘seek the dead’, you won’t have to try too many times before you get someone to cooperate.

DarkNecroWarrior -

Yeah, you can kill a crewmate for that ghost curse challenge. And honestly, it’s probably faster to find someone on Discord who already has the skelly curse. If you need help with the crimson bones, I can hop online real quick! Just hit me up.

SailorTitan -

Honestly, finding a friendly player to join your crew is likely the easiest route. You could run into someone during the hourglass matches, but it’ll take some luck to find someone who has the curse and is willing to help out.

BuccaneerBilly -

Sounds like a good plan! Gotta hope for some kind souls out there.
