Legend

2 outfits, a little ghost zone, and remixed faction.


Also seems the devs failed to think about how people play in real life. The guy manipulated the system to level up this fast, check it out below:

Prod1gyX began streaming his attempt to unlock the Pirate Legend title shortly after Sea of Thieves launched on March 20. Developer Rare said prior to the game's release that becoming a Pirate Legend -- which requires players to hit level 50 across all three of Sea of Thieves' factions, a process that involves lots of sailing, puzzle solving and even complicated riddles -- was the ultimate goal for individual players. That's why the continuous stream amassed a growing number of viewers, who were eager to see what the touted status would actually unlock.Click to expand...
They are calling him a cheater, though he has streamed the entire thing and only did what the game allowed him to.

"The guy bullshitted his way to first, while regurgitating a statement every five seconds that he could have done it by himself; the 'community' only helped him arrive faster," one Redditor wrote in a top anti-Prod1gyX thread. "He is then met with a riddle, and responds by staring at a wall for 45 minutes while he essentially learns how to use his inventory for the first time. For a followup, he continues to stand around while he waits for someone to provide him with an easy answer on what to do next. The problem solving skills here are embarrassing, he's not even attempting to tackle the task at hand - legendary incompetence."Click to expand...
Basically what he's done is used his great number of followers/subbers that play the game to 'boost' his way to 50 in every faction. They do all the work of the questing/fetching, then when they are ready to turn it all in for the reward they kick one of the other players and let him join. They did this 16 hours a day for a week and a half and got him all the way there as the first Pirate Legend! It's all on twitch, you can watch them do this. The thing is, and probably 90% of the backlash is because, he doesn't know how to play the game. Last night, when he received the 'Legendary Pirate Quest' he read a one liner riddle and just sat there for about 40 minutes. Then he started going through the menus and his inventory and didn't even know how to move stuff around or sort stuff in his inventory. He doesn't know how to play the game. Like AT ALL. It was pretty hilarious, and a little baffling to watch. This is interesting for a number of reasons here. First, using this method, someone that doesn't have the slightest idea of how to sail or block or even change his gear is able to get the 'Legendary Pirate' status which is really entertaining by itself. But Secondly, Rare is supposedly going to make him honored in the game for this feat lol. Will be really interesting to see how this all plays out. The most interesting thing for me is to see what the Legendary Pirate 'end game' is going to be, as implemented so far. It's been hinted at, talked about and teased in some videos. So very soon, hopefully, we're going to see what the end game content really is. Is it going to be more fetch quests with harder skelly's? Is it going to be entirely new content we've all been waiting for? Or is it going to be Kraken like, all tentacles with no substance? And relevant: "You must be the worst Pirate I've ever heard of." "Ah, but you HAVE heard of me..."(​IMG) UPDATE: Endgame has been revealed- The Pirate Legend amounts to the following:
  • An outfit
  • A little ghost pirate zone
  • A faction that is just a mix of the 3 factions
  • A ghost pirate outfit for that faction rep
