[2019] Ships Ahoy: New Skins and Blackwood on the Horizon

new skins

Add some bling to your ride with new wheel skins! We're excited to introduce new options for customising your ships with three new wheel skins! Each will be tied to the completion of a quest. Crab

A new Quest has been added which entails looting a 16 quality or higher sunken treasure to unlock the Crab Wheel Skin. Shark

The Shark Wheel Skin can be procured by intrepid explorers via "Master Cartographer" Quest. Kraken

The Kraken Wheel Skin is obtainable through completing the "Power of the Gods" Quest

full v211.21 patchnotes

Along with the fancy new wheel skins and Quest, we also have some fixes, optimisation and balance landing in this patch:

v211.21

- Disabling the "Give Default Pathfinder Items" Option will now properly hide any cosmetic skins you've purchased or unlocked when you fast-travel/respawn (requires fast-travel/respawn to see the change if you toggle that option).
- Fixed Kraken sweeping players off their ships when the ships are knocked back
- Improved client performance when numerous players are nearby
- Wheel Skins now work for singleplayer/host
- Sunken Ship Treasure now shows you the Loot Quality at the water surface effect via floating text.
- Added a new Quest: loot a 16 quality or higher sunken treasure to get the new Crab Wheel Skin
- Added Shark Wheel Skin to the "Master Cartographer" Quest (get any more Discovery Zones to unlock it if you've already completed that quest)
- Added Kraken Wheel Skin to the "Power of the Gods" Quest (Beat the Hard Kraken again to unlock it if you've already completed that quest)
- Improved the weighting of Sunken Treasure by overall making higher quality treasure about 50% more likely to be generated, as well as boosting the max quality of sunken treasure by 15%

Blackwood

Prepare to wade through thick green waters and explore our dark twist on the Equatorial biome with ISO:Blackwood. We're in heart of the jungle putting the finishing touches on our new standalone map and expect to launch it later next week. We'll keep you posted!
