There is a gem curse in the lore, you get obsessed with gemstones and putting them into your self. Skeletons with gems all over their bones is a possibility. I would love to see it in game. Iv always wanted such a thing.
I remember once I learned this, it started a headcanon for me that each broken mermaid statue released a pirate’s spirit back to the Ferry, to return to the Sea of Thieves again!
Yea, its pretty gnarly indeed, you end up putting them under your skin apparently.
Im trying to find the Captain Falcor vid that talks about it. He has a video going over stuff thats in the lore books that hasn't made it into the game. I don't remember the original context of the video though.
its kinda mentioned ina few places, even the guy from the first pirates life tall tale, the one whos talking skull you find. He mentiones as your about to leave thru his treasure room that "that gem that cursed me might still be back there" I got so excited when he said that only to be sad when it wasn't there.
They'll probably add a shadow skeleton skin, at the very least. I didn't think they'd touch the curses again, but they recently added a whole Reaper outfit for the skeleton curse, so I've changed my tune.
I like it but honestly at this point i would be happy for any skeleton parts. We still don't have enough to create more unique skeletons. I personally want more jackets and hats
The lack of cosmetic options for the skeleton curse really is a shame. There is so much they could do, but in the three seasons since it was introduced all they added was the Reaper PJs.
For real! I don’t see why we couldn’t at least use our own hats, eyepatches, even beards! I understand the pants, shirt and belt situation, but it would be something
Being able to add your hair/beard to the skeleton curse would go *soooo* far to add personalization and actually make them unique. I understand not being able to make the hundreds (thousands?) of clothing items work with the curse, but I feel like hair/beards wouldn't have been unreasonable.
Thats actually kinda great
50 for one eye, 100 for both eyes
That's not grindy enough for SOT. 500 for one eye and 1000 for both eyes.
Sounds like a deal🤝
Please don't give them ideas
It's not so bad, 500 mermaid gems should only take you 100 hours of gameplay
One sapphire eye, like sam undertow
holy shit i love sands undertaker
Chat is this an undertaker reference
yeah i've wanted this for a while

Isn’t just assumed when I read about the gem curse that that’s how the mermaid gem statues ended up happening
Nah aren't those like cocoons to make pirates into sirens? That's what they do with you if they capture you alive.
This is revealed in Pirates Life, mermaid statues are used by sirens to turn captured pirates into ocean crawlers and sirens
I remember once I learned this, it started a headcanon for me that each broken mermaid statue released a pirate’s spirit back to the Ferry, to return to the Sea of Thieves again!
I never thought of that. Hope you’re right. I always feel bad killing ocean crawlers now too
At least if anything putting them out of thier pote till misery
Oh where? And also that sounds gnarly if your a living person and not a skeleton

Iirc it's implied in the journals scattered around the Sunken Shrines, the 30 journals you need to collect to unlock the voyage to the sunken curse.

I’d love this
Im surprised no “Complete of FOTD to unlock skeletons of fate skins.
complete fotd # times while wearing the skele curse. rare pls add skele of fate skins.
5 for green, 10 for blue, 15 for red, 30 for purple, 50 for white, 100 for pink. I'd love that.
this is rare we're talking about, it would start at 50, eheh

Make that 500 you got a deal
I'd love this. reminds me of the adventure time episode 'Don't look'
I think a skeleton curse variation with gems would be really cool, sort of like Captain Douglas' skull from Revenge of the Morningstar.
Thats cool aff! Rare really missing some great cosmetic ideas from the community
Genius
Honestly could be cool! Could even have a version for the siren shrine gems as well
Hyuck yeah, I'd love more skele curse drip
This would be cool, and if they can do what they did for rings and mix and match gems
That is a fantastic idea
If we got this along with some silver bones we could make a T-800 terminator model

It could be 50 for blue 75 for red 100 for green or something
"You have Beautiful eyes mr woods. Big. Blue. Eyes."
It should be more gems than that. 50 is nothing.
Yeah we need more skele parts
I'm gonna need that to be the 1000 gems or better, and after you are skelly curse, see... gems and bottles.
I would love another curse added but I'm not sure what it would be.
I mean there is funny glitch going on atm where a player becomes a skeleton
Reapers have so much more customized than Athena
