The season of generosity has returned once more to the Sea of Thieves. During the Legends of Giving Event, pirates can spread festive cheer across the waves by gifting rewards, earning cosmetics, and working together toward a Community Goal. Whether you’re bestowing presents as a seasoned Pirate Legend or keeping a keen eye on the horizon for a generous soul, there’s never been a better time to set sail and join the festivities!

What is the Legends of Giving Event?

During the Legends of Giving, you can earn the Obsidian Grapple Gun, Precious Present Sails, and Precious Present Flag. If you are a Pirate Legend, you can also complete three Challenges and work toward a Community Goal. And, all pirates can receive daily Gilded Voyages!

The Legends of Giving Event runs from December 15th to January 2nd in the High Seas.

Obsidian Grapple Gun

Obsidian Grapple Gun

To earn the Obsidian Grapple Gun, you can either gift one to another pirate if you are a Pirate Legend or receive one from another pirate if you have yet to reach Pirate Legend.

Pirate Legends

If you are a Pirate Legend, you can gift an Obsidian Grapple Gun to another pirate, complete the Gift for a Gift Challenge, and unlock the cosmetic for yourself.

To gift the cosmetic, you’ll need to equip and use the Legends of Giving Emote. Existing Pirate Legends and any pirates who reach Pirate Legend during the Event will find the Legends of Giving Emote in their Vanity Chest.

Legends of Giving Emote

Equip the Emote and find another pirate who doesn’t have the Obsidian Grapple Gun yet. They can be in your crew or another crew. It also doesn’t matter if they are a Pirate Legend or not. As long as they haven’t already received an Obsidian Grapple Gun, you can gift one to them.

Once you find another pirate, perform the Emote. You will hold out a present containing the Obsidian Grapple Gun. The other pirate can then approach you and interact with the present to receive it.

To help give away as many gifts as you can, Pirate Legends will also receive Generous Gift Sails. Equip these sails from your Ship Customization Chest to let other pirates know you have presents to give!

Generous Gift Sails

The Legends of Giving Emote and Generous Gift Sails are temporary cosmetics. Once the Event ends, you will no longer have them in your Vanity or Ship Customization Chests.

You can give as many gifts as you like during the Event. Giving more than one will complete Challenges and contribute to the Community Goal.

Non-Pirate Legends

If you are not yet a Pirate Legend, you can interact with any Pirate Legend performing the Legends of Giving Emote to unlock the Obsidian Grapple Gun.

Once you find a Pirate Legend, wait for them to perform the Emote, and walk up to the present they are holding out. You should see a prompt that says, “Take Gift.”

Be on the lookout for Generous Gift Sails on the horizon to quickly find a generous pirate.

Legendary Generosity Challenges

If you are a Pirate Legend, you can work on three Challenges that will reward you with the Obsidian Grapple Gun, several Voyages of Luck, and one Legendary Voyage of Extraordinary Luck. With a Legendary Voyage of Extraordinary Luck up for grabs, you’ll want to bestow as many gifts as you can!

Gift for a Gift

Being a Legend allows you to give away gifts using the Legends of Giving Emote. Giving at least one to pirates on your crew, or other crews you encounter on the seas, will earn you the Obsidian Grapple Gun!

To complete the first Challenge, you must give one gift to a pirate on your crew or a pirate on another crew. As soon as someone accepts your gift, you will complete the Challenge and unlock the Obsidian Grapple Gun.

Gifted Journeys

Give away just a few gifts to earn a stash of Voyages appropriate for a generous pirate like yourself.

To complete the second Challenge, you must give five gifts to five different pirates on your crew or another crew. As soon as someone accepts your fifth gift, you will complete the Challenge and unlock three Voyages of Luck.

Luck of the Generous

Give away many gifts to pirates and earn a Legendary Voyage of Exceptional Luck with a guaranteed Golden Map waiting for you! Athena’s Fortune smiles upon the generous.

To complete the third Challenge, you must give ten gifts to ten different pirates on your crew or another crew. As soon as someone accepts your tenth gift, you will complete the Challenge and unlock a Legendary Voyage of Exceptional Luck.

Legendary Giving Community Goal

If you are a Pirate Legend, you can also work on completing the Community Goal and unlock the Precious Present Sails and Flag for everyone!

If Pirate Legends can give 250,000 gifts to other pirates throughout the Legends of Giving Event, all pirates, no matter if they are Pirate Legends or not, will receive the Precious Present Sails and Flag!

Every time a Pirate Legend gifts a pirate who hasn’t received one before, they’ll progress the cumulative Legendary Giving Community Goal. Once the community has gifted enough presents and achieved the Goal, the Precious Present Sails and the Precious Present Flag will unlock for everyone who sets sail during the Event!

Precious Present Sails and Flag

Gilded Voyages

You can receive a Gilded Voyage every day you set sail during the Event. You can’t stack these Voyages, so you’ll want to complete them the day you get them. To find your daily Gilded Voyage, go to your Quest Table and select Voyages, Special Voyages, then Limited Voyages.

Gilded Voyages

Holiday Hauls

Holiday Hauls also returns during the Legends of Giving Event! Sea of Thieves Partners, Affiliate Alliance Leaders, Quartermasters, and Deckhands will once again sail the seas to award special cosmetics. They will also have the Legends of Giving Emote and Generous Gift Sails, so you’ll want to seek them out if you are looking for the Obsidian Grapple Gun, as well as some extra goodies.
