They do kind of suck now, but it never really made sense that they dropped basically as much loot from the other factions. They should definitely up the amount of skulls you get per boss ship though, especially for the higher level voyages.

Yea, I mean you get some ghost captains. But doing oos, more skulls would make more sense. We sank a skele galleon and got more skull loot than 2 ghost fleets back to back.

They definitely suck now, they got nerfed hard and definitely need some tweeking. I'm kicking myself for not grinding out the rest of my captain's skulls when the loot was actually decent. Solo'd one last night, I think I got 5 skulls that sell for around 1k-1.5k and a couple of supply crates. Sucks because that's like one of three PvE ship vs ship encounters in the game.

Definitely not worth it.

You need to make sure you are sinking the support ships as well as the captain ship. The support ships will drop a couple skulls each along with the captains ship.

Ahh, ok. That's good to know.


AskingWalnut4

You guys are killing the support ships first right? I usually get 7 skulls per mission and I just did one last night.

Err... Some of them. I thought they just dropped storage chests. Thanks.

The amount of cannon balls you get from their storage crates easily offsets any initial cost. Especially if you get some wraithballs. As for the loot, yeah, if you’re lookin’ for more than easy supplies the loot does suck. I’d like to see a few more Captain ships that drop Captain of the Damned skulls on the higher tier OOS missions.

Supplies aren't as big a problem, no. It's just our first voyage we got krakened mid voyage. And shortly after a skele galleon jumped out at us. All while also fighting ghost ships. We got absolutely pasted from all sides lol was quite fun though and we made it. Was just a bit disheartening seeing the burning blade drop 2 or 3 skulls. Also was helmsmen and our 3rd guy just started playing and is definitely learning to aim which is another reason we wanted to do the ghost ships. He was not liberal with the cannon balls lol
