Skull and Bones: What Are Players Really Doing When They Aren’t Fighting?
Once the excitement of pirate adventures subsides, many gamers opt for the solitary pursuit of self-discovery. A user named spiriticon expresses this by saying, “I enjoy soloing tasks, organizing helm collections, taking pictures, adjusting ship setups, playing with cosmetics.” It appears that even when sailing seems uneventful, there’s a vast realm of crafting, customization, and personal accomplishments ready to take center stage. Some players have been reportedly dedicating this time to perfecting their helm collections—it’s like a pirate version of Pokémon, where the goal is to collect them all, but with a more pirate-y vibe and less Eevee involved.
