The Skull of Penta-Quinte - Group Map

Once you have collected enough ancient emblems you are able to access the “The Skull of Penta-Quinte” group map from the Safe Haven by speaking to Captain Ravenbeard.

After you choose the role you want to play (“Damage Dealer”, “Healer” and “Tank”) and the team is full you are teleported to the group map.

The goal is to kill Lord Joseph Pyre, which is augmented with extra attacks/abilities by 5 Ritual Stones.

Each Ritual Stone has a colored zone about it and spawns 3 Spirits, which are color coded to match one Ritual Stone zone.

You can´t damage the Ritual Stones directly, to destroy them you have to lure and sink 3 correct Spirits in the matching zones.

Not destroying the Ritual Stones adds more loot for the whole encounter.

It´s not possible to join the group map again, when you are sunk.

To finish the group map, you need to defeat Lord Joseph Pyre.

You will gain ranking points for defeating him, and extra ranking points for every Ritual Stone left alive.​

The Soul Chaser - PvP Map

The Soul Chaser map is an extra event PvP map.

Both event admirals just spawn on the Soul Chaser map.

To enter the Soul Chaser map you have to use the “Order of the Soul” item which can be bought at the black market and you receive as quest reward.

Glitters spawn on the Soul Chaser map which contains souls that give a buff for a certain time when it is collected.

This buff is stackable but if you reach a threshold of 6 souls, you can no longer collect any additional souls.

The buff then changes into a radiant soul.

The buff is only available on the Soul Chaser map.

Collecting souls changes the appearance of your ship design into a cursed or a radiant soul.

If a player is sunk or leaves the Soul Chaser map, a glitter drops which contains the souls that the player has collected.

A special zone appears on 1 of 4 defined positions on the Soul Chaser map where the players can exchange their collected souls.

This is how it works:

• A player loses all collected souls in that zone.
• Those collected souls count for the “Samhain Savage” ranking:
  • 1 point for Cursed souls
  • 10 points for Radiant Souls
• The special zone stays at that location for a certain time or until a certain number of souls are exchanged.
• Then the special zone moves to one of the other positions.
• Cursed Soul Buff:
  • 10% Hit Probability
  • 10% Cannon Damage
  • -2% Speed
  • -10% Dodge Chance
• Radiant Soul Buff:
  • 100% Hit Probability
  • 100% Cannon Damage
  • -20% Speed
  • -100% Dodge Chance

​

Bloody / Brutal Battle - Group Map

You can join the group maps by speaking to Captain Ravenbeard on the Safe Haven.

He will offer you two versions of the groupmap, Bloody Battle and Brutal Battle; both of these have the same mechanics however the Brutal Battle is an easier version.

Within the map, your group of four will encounter Y’kanin, who will constantly move towards players in your group. Your goal is to defeat Y’kanin, however, this will not be easy.

Y'kanin attacks players and when close to you will trap you with a whirlpool.

Being close to Y’kanin has another downfall, with every piece of damage inflicted to you Y’kanin will regain some of the hitpoints it has lost!

So keep your distance pirates!

The map ends when Y’kanin has been defeated or all players have been killed.​

Well, this certainly appears to be of interest. The marks on this bowl attain to something more ancient, even Inya, if I was to guess.
