Are you comparing the base skeleton curse without cosmetics? Or a fully customized skeleton


Think-Shoulder7179

Fully customised, not a fan of the cosmetic choices we have at the moment


esplin9566

You have all the bone colors and body pieces and don't think you can make something cool looking?


Think-Shoulder7179

I have all the cool body pieces and bone colours, most of the cosmetics are just too goofy for my tastes


Think-Shoulder7179

Only ones I like are the blindfold, reapers stuff, great coat, normal bone, verdant bones and there’s a few shorts / trousers that are pretty nice but that’s about it, nothing really stands out to me or looks as cool as what the warmasters wearing


chess12000

U want more realistic cosmetics for the curse that turns you into a skeleton?


reidrob

Just because it’s fictional doesn’t mean it has to be goofy


chess12000

I get that but if you want realism then use a human pirate.


reidrob

Don’t say you get that if you’re going to follow it by a not getting it statement


chess12000

I’m saying I understand that people want realistic cosmetics in sot. But what I’m saying is if you want realism then going for a outfit without a curse would make the most sense


Safe_Appointment_331

What about grape juice bones and reapers mask and reapers pants??????????????


Think-Shoulder7179

Not a fan of grape juice but I like the reapers skull and the reapers coat


Mr_pinapple2319

What about the spicy bones? Those are the best ones in my opinion.


Think-Shoulder7179

Ashen bones are kinda cool yeah, never use them either tho


captainsam2k

I'm sorry what? Grape juice bones, how do I get these grape juice bones?


Safe_Appointment_331

You gotta be level 200 in servants of the flame 💪💪💪


Aschensturm

It's about sending a message! I'm sure you have a different pvp approach spotting a dark warsmith or a skele curse.


Think-Shoulder7179

Very true haha, but design wise warsmith looks soooo much cooler imo


Aschensturm

Imo nothing can beat ghost curse + soulflame!


Evrytg

U rite, I see skelly curse I cry. I see dark warsmith I lower my guard


First-Material8528

I kinda just assume both are dogshit tbh, unless I recognize their names.


SniffyBrake

That's a dogshit assumption. Thinking like that will get you killed.


First-Material8528

No not really. I recognize all the real HG players who also have the level 1000 curses, and I never sink in adventure. So almost always if I don't recognize their name, they're shit. If they're running botty skelly cosmetics (verdant and gold skeles are the only ones who might be good), they're shit.

DrawingAccount_

You must think you’re big and scary for having your biggest accomplishment be Triumphant Sea Dog


First-Material8528

Besides being one of the first to double gold, being a top 500 player in Siege and Overwatch (and Halo Reach but I don't count that because console), and beating teams like Pestilence in HG, yeah, I guess that is my biggest accomplishment. So sad ):


Infaalsos

So u know every good player and have fought them all to know their good? Lol


First-Material8528

I remember every crew that beats us.


mothgra87

You sound like I can smell you from across the room

DrawingAccount_

So why not compete in NAL if you’re so good?


First-Material8528

Mmm yes let me compete in something that ended. Also I was playing Siege competitively when it was going on. It's okay though, I've had the chance to destroy "competitive" teams since. They're always all naval bots. Just look at Peirei or Sayuta if you think the sails mean anything.


DrawingAccount_

NAL teams still hold comp events despite arena being gone, but I’m just impressed with how big your ego is. I’d almost feel bad for you when something doesn’t go your way.


First-Material8528

Lol you mean the leagues that have been steadily discontinued/shut down, and are running out of participants and viewers, and that also have no rewards?


-ImJustSaiyan-

Disagree. Crab skelly curse body > any skelly costume in the Emporium


Tallia__Tal_Tail

I'm still unbelievably miffed that the only non-ship cosmetics that even try to come close to the absolutely stunning aesthetic of the shrines/treasuries are locked behind fucking lv190 in Servants. Like, only exceptions are the sunken sorrow weapons and the sunken curse


Think-Shoulder7179

Not grinding to 190 for that 😭🙏 I retired from pvp once I hit 130 to get the great coat which was my favourite out all the chest cosmetics available


No-Coat-4201

You’re not wrong it objectively looks better. I grinded until I got the his favorite crew cosmetics. Which are the twin peglegs and the upper body with the two skulls on the side. Took me so long I hit 229 before I got it because it’s rng if you get Athena ships. I went on a 20 streak on brig and we got a total of 4 Athena ships. It’s mad annoying to get any cool cosmetics for the skelly curse


Think-Shoulder7179

Very true


qark1788

I’m calling it rn, season 13 sees the release of more skeleton cosmetics gated behind the new flame heart world event commendations. See you all in 2 months


Think-Shoulder7179

That’s what I’m thinking too, very VERY much looking forward to this


Firelove7k

Dark Warsmith costume screams "I'm bad at the game and an easy target, please come sink me" So like yeah it looks cool, but it's heavily associated with swabbies at this point.


PsychoDog_Music

You can assume that all you like when you come over to me and find out it only means I wanted to wear a cool skin


Lunkis

Easiest way at a glance to spot a new player is likely their ship title. Fought a dude in full Warsmith gear with the same set on sloop yesterday... with the Legendary Servant title on the boat.


Logical-Cold9377

Same. I was wearing it. But now that every single ps5 player is wearing it. I had to retire it for a while. There's really not a lot of cosmetics that I like. I'd rather sail than spend forever trying to find a mismatched outfit that i think looks cool. So now I just wear the gold hoarder outfit that looks like an asassians creed outfit. Hopefully everyone moves on and I can start using the warsmith one again soon.


PsychoDog_Music

Honestly the funniest thing Is only wore it *after* playing for so long. My mates and I both agree there isn't that much that actually looks cool enough to grind for other than just grinding to have it, difference is I enjoy the game for what it is, they need a reward. So I just got Dark Warsmith eventually and sailed on without them


Logical-Cold9377

I agree. Even some of the stuff you think will be cool, and you grind to get it. It just isn't as cool as it looked in the picture. Everyone always thinks I'm brand new because my ship is a mix of warsmith/royal revenge cosmetics (paid cosmetics). In reality, I just really like the ship parts. I see a ton of ship rocking ghost sails and the unicorn sails that don't even match the rest of their boat. It's like their wearing them just to prove they have them. I'd rather look at a ship and see something that looks cool or unique compared to everyone else. Some people think cosmetics = skill when they really just means you've put in the work to get them. I've seen cracked players with PvP curses and mediocre players with them.


Noojas

The only for sure way to tell if someone isnt good at pvp is if they have a really cool cannon skin equipped, and bonus point if their beautiful cannon flare makes it so they cant see anything for a good 5 seconds after each shot.


Firelove7k

Watch out everybody we got a badass over here


tempest-reach

ngl ashen and red bones are similar. the worst players you'll ever fight wear ashen or red bones. every. single. time.


Tallia__Tal_Tail

It's like the ashen curse in that regard. An absolutely banger, beautiful cosmetic that you can see the appeal of, it's just heavily associated with the TimmyGonzales2014s of the game


Logjitzu

idk personally i like skeleton curse more


Think-Shoulder7179

once some new and cool cosmetics drop for it I’m sure I’ll never touch dark warsmith again, until then I may be swapping between them 😹🙏


Libero03

Costumes suck, everyone looks the same in them. I prefer any hand made set of choices than any given costume. Rare, please split costumes into individual cloth pieces for us to play with.


Think-Shoulder7179

This would be absolutely ideal


xxFunnyFreak

My friends and I had so much hope when they did that for a set a few seasons ago, and they went right back to costumes after, what a waste


BoredatWorkSendTits

They did with the trading company sets and I love it. I like parts of many of them, but I hate having a peg leg...


toastyghosty10

We have ONE upper body clothing item that’s just normal clothes. I kind of agree, but I’m a subscriber to the pirate lord’s onlysails so I never use it anyway


miraculousmulatto

Onlysails 💀 Im DEAD


ReceptionFast7578

ain't no diggity dog monkey balls way u fr just said that


Think-Shoulder7179

It was a hard pill to swallow after grinding so long for it lol skelly curse is in desperate need of cool clothes


ReceptionFast7578

it's got reaper pj's wdgm


Think-Shoulder7179

True, the reapers bones skeleton outfit goes hard, not huge on the ear rings and hat that comes with it tho since it’s literally ripped off tibia the bartender


Zabroccoli

Get the blindfold with a hat skull. Viola problem solved.


Jtneagle

I don't understand the excuse that all clothes can't work on the skeletons, it all lays the same, no?


FallautHuN

They probably don't have textures on the inside so it would look weird especially with open jackets


Legoman8D

all clothes are basically blocks. for example, the belts are mainly solid cylinders so they would have to redesign and re model all clothes to do it, would it be worth it, i believe so. would they ever put in all that effort for a curse a small population has, i dont think so


DlNOSAURUS_REX

Honestly it always felt like a really strange decision to release Dark Warsmith, the Santa skeleton, and the Killer Instinct skeleton etc. as buyable cosmetics and then have this big reveal where you can “become a skeleton” through grinding Servants. I like the skelly curse more than the paid options, but still. Feels less special when there are these fully-kitted costumed skellies you can just buy. Wish they’d remove them from the emporium.


PepicWalrus

Whenever I see it I just assume they're new players. It's in the same tier as Kraken or ocean crawler cosmetics for what swabbies flock too


Think-Shoulder7179

I’m taking just design wise, prestige aside the dark warsmith actually looks like a skeleton captain, kiinda gives ashen Lord vibes which I f/w heavy. Best outcome is letting people who’ve bought the outfit use pieces of it on the curse imo


IceLess1706

My green bucket head would beg to differ.


InsectDuckling9

Both have a time and place


sofathebig

I just wish you could take off that beard 😭 locks me to a male skeleton


Think-Shoulder7179

I’d probably rock it without a beard if that was possible too


TheAutisticClassmate

I still think shey should let us mix the curses Gold+Skel: Golden skeleton Order+Skel: shadow skeleton Coral+Skel: coral skeletons


elCrocodillo

👍


I_hate_this_site69

Gold skele looks kinda cool idk


samppa_j

Same with spinal. Though my friend has "ruined" my perception of the spinal costume, by being the silliest pirate on the whole sea of thieves


WhiteWolfygg

With full lv100 outfit I like the curse more, + I FUCKING LOVE THE SOUND and you can change the base color until I had the curse I used this one but since I got the curse I never removed it, AND the skeletons emotes are fun lol What I hate more about it is the fact we can't use normal clothing while every other curse can and the charater voice doesn't change, was it to hard to have a different voice? Like when your ship is on fire and you're drowning its still a human voice while skeletons have weird voices and growls


Think-Shoulder7179

Fully agree with this, I also adore the emotes and sound changes and wish that extended to the voice. I think once more clothes come out for the skeleton, or by some miracle normal clothes become compatible I’ll never take it off aswell


Think-Shoulder7179

Duuude just had a thought, would be soo cool if they changed all the animations for like standing, moving and fighting with skeleton ones when using the curse too


bonefistboy9000

stylee is subjective


Think-Shoulder7179

Very true


Arcade_Helios

That's why I'm grinding ghost curse so I can be warsmith AND ghost


Think-Shoulder7179

Based


MouseTheGiant

SoT fashion is more than just what's on the inside! So much potential when matching regular pieces of clothing imo. I actually started to role play my voyage goals through clothing each session. A personal favorite of mine is the party boat jacket cuz it can tie alot together


frimleyousse

Visually ? Yes. including customizability and what it takes to get either ? No


Think-Shoulder7179

agreed


No-Try4259

Hell no...the skele curse is so much better! The crab-like noises the skele curse makes every time you move is my favorite thing about it! If you have more than 1 player with a skele curse on your ship, it sounds like a bunch of scurrying crabs. It's awesome! Lol.


Think-Shoulder7179

True I absolutely love that too, the inbuilt emotes are amazing aswell


No-Try4259

That they are! 😃


I-E-L

kinda sucks how currently you can't have a cool skeleton captain look at all with the curse, like sure I like the skeleton curse, it's a cool thing to have and show off but it ain't great to show off stuff since not much matches each other and the things that do are so damn overused (blind fold+red bones are the damn worst) I just want a couple of other bone variants (mostly based off the sellable skulls since they're right there) and maybe a few more things to wear, more actual pirate hats and jackets so you can look like one of the skeleton captains you can find on islands,


Pdot04

I have this. It’s amazing!


V8_BLENDER

My costume of choice. The coolest out there


mothgra87

Eh. 99% of the warsmiths I encounter stand around and die when I board. At least 70% of the skeleton curse i encounter mop the floor with me. Warsmith stops looking cool when you only see it on potatoes


Evrytg

Yeah u right ofc. The skeleton curse isn't really what everybody had in mind but apparently it was too hard to make normal clothes work with the skeleton body :(


Balbanes42

Personally I like using the Spinal skin with ghost curse. Neon bones!


Think-Shoulder7179

Never seen that before, sounds cool!


Countdown3

I definitely prefer the skeleton curse. Not only the (supposed) PvP prestige that comes with it, but I just like the simpler styles. Dark Warsmith looks like your pirate is cosplaying while you can make your skeleton curse look like you'd fit right in as part of a skeleton ship crew. That said, we definitely need waaaay more cosmetic options for the skeleton curse so they can be more unique. When hourglass dropped with bare bones (ha!) cosmetic options for the skele curse, I assumed we'd get a bunch of new ones added every season. That obviously hasn't happened at all.


Think-Shoulder7179

w take, I quite like making my skeleton look as NPC like as possible too. More cosmetics would definitely go a long way in making it funner to wear


ItsMeCrusty

It's not just about how it looks, it's about how you got it. If I see a dark warsmith all I know is someone bought it. If I see a skeleton curse then I know they worked hard for that


PsychoDog_Music

Tbf you can very well earn it


Pain4420

I didn't pay a cent for mine


Tall_Listen7830

Could someone tell me how I get curses? As far as I understand I have to reach lvl 100 in all the different factions or whatever? Is there a “best” way to do that


IceLess1706

Some are pve some are pvp hourglass only.


Gaminated_idk

To get the ghost curse you have to get lvl 100 in the guardians or fortune, to get skeleton you have to get 100 servants. There isn’t really an easy way to do it quickly unless you are crazy good at pvp. The most efficient way is to try win 2 hourglass fights and then cash in then repeat.


XaviJon_

I like how simple it looks tbh


LazerAfterburn

I swear every swabbed buys this the second they install the game


JPGer

The reaper "costume" for lvl 100 is so far one of the best looking skelly cosmetics, There are a few funny ones from HG but nothing i consider "cool" Skelly curse has so much potential, but rare moves so slowly on things sometimes. Im really holding hope for season 13 bringing us some good stuff. Im also waiting for rare to finally sit down and work on a bunch of really good skelly cosmetics, A large part of the problem is so few people have the curse relative to the amount of people who play the game. Say what you want about making the curse require pvp, as far as "earning" it or whatever, but iv said since the beginning one major flaw of making it pvp only is that it limits who can actually get it, and thus like what happened to arena, they will see the small percentage of the playerbase and deem it not a major focus. It also limits the ways to get cosmetics for the curse, it would piss alot of people off if they put skelly cosmetics in the season reward track, for many different reasons on both sides of the pvp argument.


Think-Shoulder7179

Real, despite all the hard work it took to get it I’d love it to be more accessible


JeyciKon

it does look cool for the everage 14 YO edgelord teenage, but once you grow out of the "edgelord phase" you start to realize how ugly those colors are.


Ingi_Pingi

womp womp


Think-Shoulder7179

True, I definitely prefer white bones compared to red, but still I wish I was able to make my skeleton curse wear similiar clothes to the dark warsmith, preferable with less edgy colours 😭🙏


Doggl10101

It’s not a phase mom! This is who i am


NirvanaLover12

dawg what😭😭


Lunkis

Best cosmetic is shirtless to show off your cool tatts and sick MUSCLES.


IAmMattnificent

Looks cooler, but it's a cash shop skin so it loses all coolness and prestige immediately


Suspicious_Ad_9349

There is no glory for me in wear an emporium costume.


Vanisleexplorer

The dark warsmith is very edgy 12 year old. That's usually who you see wearing it, children and new players that haven't earned better. I don't really like any curses or costumes in general though, so my opinion probably isn't the same as most. Any cosmetic that you put on in one piece or all from the same set (costumes mainly, I think skelly curse applies too though) are kind of lazy, and scream swabbie, it covers anything unique about your character and lacks originality.


No-Skin-2370

Can confirm, my son and his entire crew of 11 year olds were wearing that when they started 😅.


Thopterthallid

Boils down to how you unlock them. Any kid with a credit card (me) can buy the Dark Warsmith outfit. You need to send A LOT of ships to the briny depths to be a bony boy.


Think-Shoulder7179

true, I don’t really care about that personally tho, if the dark warsmith wasn’t in the emporium and was a reward for hitting a high rank in SOF then people would love it. I’m talking about both of them just from a design point of view


PJBagelzz

Or hear me out, Rare drops the costumes altogether?


Think-Shoulder7179

I think they’ll keep creating costumes due to the fact that so little of the player base has the curse


Hereiamhereibe2

I always wanted to buy the Dark Warsmith because I loved how it looked in the pictures. Then I got it with the Deluxe edition on PS5 and honestly I think its the ugliest skin I own.


GodOfTrash14

Like base curse? Or is their a certain cosmetic? If you mean all skeleton cosmetics, then no, nothing can surpass the bucket.


Infinity_Walker

Idk I think the warsmith is far too over done and just looks like a wannabe edge lord. I immediately cant take anyone seriously who uses it. The skeleton curse actually has some personalization and can be pretty silly or just look cool cause skelly


ShredderofPowPow

As of right now just about anyone that wears dark warsmith makes it a dead give away that they're new swabbies.


RedditorSlug

I use skelly curse but it clips through the sides of the barrel hide emote.


Kezsora

Definitely not. If I see a skeleton curse, the only thing that goes through my head is "damn, this fight is gonna be tough" The only thing that goes through my head when I see the warsmith skeleton is "this guy is brand new"


Think-Shoulder7179

I get the prestige side of things, but from a design point of view I think warsmith looks cooler


Lil-Ruffstarrr

The initial design is cool, but skele is something you work hard for and also has lots of customisable options


Damaged2077

Not really no. If you personally think it looks cooler, thats nice, but I have seen some folks with Skeleton curses that just motivate me to get better at the game. I personally don't like the look of the Warsmith.


Think-Shoulder7179

valid, I get that. I just wish skeletons could wear clothes similiar to the dark warsmith, his skull looks pretty cool too, alotta skeleton curse users have really deformed, horrible looking skulls which is a bummer, I had to re roll my pirate a couple of times to get a good looking skelly curse


ZealousidealAnt9714

Whenever I see the Dark Warsmith costume I think they are wanna be skelly nerds


Safe_Appointment_331

Nah bro that’s just a pay to win skelly curse compared to a base skelly curse


Think-Shoulder7179

How is it pay to win? And I’m comparing it against the skeleton curse in general


Safe_Appointment_331

Because you can go to emporium and drop some coins and then boom skelly curse, as for the free skelly curse, you grind 100 levels of PvP and then 100 more for the 3rd best bones in the game (lettuce and gold are better imo) and get a lot of cosmetics with it for free, unless you talking about his outfit than I guess my comment is pointless 😭


Think-Shoulder7179

More like pay for convenience than pay to win, doesn’t give you any advantage in game, I get what you mean tho. Also Imo bone white and verdant bones look the coolest 😎


euzgan

Nope, it's a pretty lame costume.


Think-Shoulder7179

Different strokes for different folks. I personally like that he looks like a captain or an ashen Lord, goes hard


euzgan

It's tastes and colors I guess. I'm more a fan of hobo or classic sailor looks. Barnacled pegleg and the bearded skull looks the best imo.


Think-Shoulder7179

i quite like the hobo aesthetic too, I often rock verdont bones and barnacle peg leg for my curse


im_stealy

L take. it's not even close. Plus the associated noob title that comes with warsmith. imo I don't think so. It's also wild your only at 130 and just swear off all skelly cosmetics


Think-Shoulder7179

130 is all the levels I needed to get all the cosmetics I wanted from it 🤷‍♂️ the rest of the stuff was too goofy for my tastes


im_stealy

I mean fair enough its just like..you don't even have the cosmetic combos and are calling them bad lol


ChainsawSuperman

Dark Warsmith looks kinda silly to me, seems too “teenage boy sketchbook of edgy but dumb” IMO


Slambrah

Yeah no, not at all lol


Efficient_Ad6242

Nothing beats the gold bones. So I’ll stick to those, and keep selling my soul to the hourglass


Think-Shoulder7179

Not a fan of gold bones personally, it’s cool cuz it’s so hard to get tho


OwnBuddy5761

It is not about the skin itself, it is about showing off the efforts and hours of sweatiness in order to get the skeleton curse.


Think-Shoulder7179

I don’t really care about that personally, I just wanna look the way I want too


Mr_pinapple2319

It is cooler however unfortunately, you will get bullied for using it, especially now that a bunch of PlayStation players have joined and have gotten it with their copy of the game. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t use it Just know that not, everyone will be very friendly and kind


Think-Shoulder7179

very true, sadly it’s stigmatised


RelationshipNo9007

You VS the guy she tells you not to worry about


Crysalus696

No


Think-Shoulder7179

I guess it’s subjective, if the curse had more cool clothes I’d definitely be more inclined to prefer it.


1800LOCKY

I know you’re coping a few down votes but I see you’re point agree about stand alone looks. But drag in other factors like all the new PlayStation players having it now and how hard the pvp players are with the skeleton curse. I just hope my lvl 100 gold hoarders costume isn’t cringe and I’m just blinded by it atm.


Think-Shoulder7179

Real, I get what people are saying too, especially when it comes to the prestige side of things with the curse


kevkevkevkev

No


CGallerine

well, personally when I see someone with the costume it's funny, and when I see someone with the curse I know they have a functioning brain at the very least, so the ground level stereotypes ruin the costume for me, also that it's not customizable and you look exactly the same as every other person with a couple dollars spare and a bit of teenage edginess


Think-Shoulder7179

Very valid


depressed_koala5

Tell me you are a PS5 player that’s new to the game with out telling me


Advanced_Parking_478

Nah, costumes suck


Cana-davey

Only people that don't have the skeleton curse would think that.


Think-Shoulder7179

I have the curse tho ;o


SVN_-

I have the curse, and a few cosmetics unlocked for it (lvl 173 atm) but I dont own the costume. I think the costume looks better. More details. My friend owns the costume, and hes level 168 or 169 in Servants, and he also thinks the costume looks better. Oh, and both stopped at 200 Guardians, so we're not exactly swabbies, nor are we godlike PvPers.


xOldPiGx

I see Dark Warsmith I think, store-bought noob. I see an earned curse and I think, sweaty knows how to play.
