Happy 22nd Day of Gracemas: How to Make Friends and Influence People!
Hello again all you Salty Sea Dogs and Sailors, and a Merry Gracemas to everyone! We are in the final stretch of the Holiday Season, and I hope you are all finding enough time for your families and your plans. Today I jumped on real quick for my lunch break and it ended up being a fairly quiet voyage until the very end.
I woke up at Dagger Tooth Outpost and decided to sail to the Roar rather than dive. As I set a course past the Isle of Last Words, I noticed a shipwreck nearby. I pulled up to investigate and was rewarded with a TON of treasure, lots of Smuggler items and some high-value faction loot, as well as a Horn of Fair Winds. I continued on my way into the Devil's Roar, pausing to check Tri-Rock Isle for any washed-up treasure. I found another treasure chest, and fought a Skeleton Captain for his map, which revealed a Reaper's Chest!
As I made my way into the Devil's Roar, I saw another sloop parked at Flintlock Peninsula. They didn't drop sails as I passed so I decided to just unload Grace's gifts and deal with the other crew as needed. Strangely, I was unchallenged as I set up Cap'n Morrow's gifts. Today I decided to see if I could actually watch another crew claim their Gracemas haul, so I set my sloop free towards the horizon and waited, disguised, on Morrow's Peak.
I didn't have long to wait, I guess the other crew was waiting patiently for their turn at the Sovereign dock. I waited until the other sailor (it turned out to be a solo slooper) was parked and unloading his supplies, then started waving to get his attention. I ran to the dock, banjo in hand, trying to get him to join me at Grace Morrow and claim his reward, but he ran away! Poor guy was probably just scarred from too many PvP encounters in his past. I let him run, watching him sail away and hoping I could get him to come back. Maybe he will come back and enjoy some Gracemas presents!
As always, if you find yerself meeting exotic and exciting people in the Devil's Roar, make sure ya leave a little something shiny for our Grace! Remember folks: it's a *social* game, sometimes you can make friends instead of attacking or running from everyone you see.....
*Says the guy who hasn't got a headset yet. Maybe I'll get one in my stocking*
Anyway, thanks for tuning in! Stay safe out there, have fun, and I will see you all tomorrow for another day of Gracemas!
