It turns out when players think they’re about to lose access to something, they get rather twitchy about making sure to get it. The official Sea of Thieves Twitter account noted that while some players are hoarding gold to get the Shark Hunter ship set, it will still be available even after the limited-time items from the Hungering Deep patch have gone away. Good news to those who hadn’t yet hoarded enough gold, too.
Meanwhile, the game rolled out a small patch to fix a number of outstanding issues with the game as well as adding in the option to dynamically change your crew between Open and Closed while on open waters. Athena’s Fortune should also offer players more valuable rewards, which will no doubt prove… well, valuable. So keep on sailing and earning the rewards that actually will no longer be obtainable in about a week.
Ahoy Pirates! It's come to our attention that some players are frantically hoarding gold for the Shark Hunter Ship set! Rest assured that Shipwrights will be keeping this in stock even after The Hungering Deep ends. #SeaOfThieves pic.twitter.com/ZXMtG1VBuO
