  1. Just a heads up that the requirements for the Chest of the Damned Disguise is for “Grade III in Scourge of the Damned” which is 100 ships, not 500.

  2. On your How to Unlock Every Disguise guide, you wrote that Scourge of the Damned requires defeating 100 ghost ships but that number is actually 500 ghost ships. Cheers!
