Legendary treasure maps
These cards are the most sought after. You can only get them by completing PvP and PvE events. They are intended exclusively for the best pirates and challenge you.
How do I get Legendary Treasure Maps? We will explain the process to you using an example for the launch of the game:
Take part in a world event like the PvP Cutthroat Cargo Hunt. Once you have joined the event, you will be marked as a target. This means that other players can attack and sink you. So be on your guard.
The legendary treasure map will be floating in the water here – collect it and activate it. It’s best to leave the PvP area beforehand.
Danger: When this legendary card is active, an outpost you need to head to will be marked with a skull. You can then only invest there. All other outposts are blocked. You can’t fast travel either!
Once you have arrived at the marked outpost, start your treasure hunt with the tips mentioned above: texts and images on the map. For example, look for certain trees, strangely shaped rocks or pieces of furniture.
If you are close enough to your treasure, a red light appears – you have made it. Now dig for your reward. There are high quality and rare items for legendary cards.
