Ashen Winds is an event signified by a red tornado up in the sky. To find the island where the event takes place, head towards the red tornado until you see land. The event island should be directly beneath it.
Taking on the Ashen Winds event will let you fight one of the Ashen Lords in the game: Red Ruth, Old Horatio, Warden Chi, or Captain Grimm. On defeat, they will drop the Ashen Winds Skull - a special loot skill that you can use to attack enemies or sell for gold.
Fort of Fortune is an event that takes place on an island beneath the large red skull cloud you see in the sky. Defeat the fort's defenders and slay the Ashen Lord inside to receive a Fort of Fortune Key. This opens the treasure vault in the island which contains valuable loot.
Ghost Fleet is an event found near the large island beneath the green tornado in the sky. Upon arriving, you'll fight a fleet of Ghost Ships in the waters surrounding the island. Complete the whole event and get your loot by defeating all three waves of the Ghost Fleet!
Skeleton Fleet is an event can be found near the Pirate Ship Cloud or Smoke at the center of Sea of Thieves. You will be fighting waves of different types of battleships with a variety of skeletons controlling them.
Once the Skeleton Fleet appears, it will only stay for around half an hour, so try to travel fast if you're planning on taking it on.
A Skeleton Fort is indicated by the Skull Smoke with Green Eyes in the sky. Skeleton Forts spawns on fortress-type islands and will be filled with skeletons trying to defend them and their vault containing treasures.
You can open the vault using the Stronghold Skull dropped by Skeleton Captains to obtain the treasure.
Encounters in Sea of Thieves | ||
---|---|---|
Kraken | Megalodon | Skeleton Ship |
Kraken is an enormous underwater creature that can attack a ship in the open seas with its tentacles. Kraken usually appears if there are no active World Event and Encounter in your lobby.
You will need to destroy several tentacles to make it retreat and leave your ship. Destroying its tentacles will reward you with a Kraken Meat and some treasures!
A Megalodon is a gigantic shark that roams the open seas. You will encounter different variations of Megalodon, but note that all are deadly and strong enough to wreck your ship.
It will try to destroy or sink your ship into the sea if it sees you, but you can fight back using cannons and guns to defeat it! Similar to the Kraken, it will usually come out when there's is no active World Event or Encounter in your lobby.
Skeleton Ship is a ship managed by skeletons that roams the sea. It always changes location, so you might want to search the waters actively to encounter one.
Once you defeat the Skeleton Ship, it will drop several treasures that you can grab to sell or use for yourself.
Completing World Events and Encounters will increase your overall Reputation Level in the game. If you represent one of the Trading Companies, it will also increase your reputation with them, allowing you to benefit from their services.
You will receive Commendations or Achievements for completing World Events and Encounters. These Commendations and Achievements will count towards the 100% completion of the game and unlock other items like cosmetics and equipment.
You will get tons of treasures by doing any World Event and Encounters. It's a good way to get rich fast, but it also comes with a great risk as you will be fighting boss-level enemies.
World Events and Encounters are open-world activities that you can do to get a bunch of treasures, increase your reputation, and unlock Commendations. Each has a different spawn rate, location, and requirements before they appear in the overworld.
