Reaper Gunpowder Runs make an explosive return with the Bilge Rats Weekender! You can expect to raid a Skeleton Fort for valuable Gunpowder Barrels during the perilous Reaper Gunpowder Run Voyage! But that’s not all! As with all Bilge Rats Weekender returning Live Events, you can also earn Doubloons!
What is the Reaper Gunpowder Runs Event?
During the Reaper Gunpowder Runs, you can embark on a time-limited Voyage that will have you collecting and selling Gunpowder Barrels to the Reaper’s Bones for extra Gold and Reputation. If you successfully complete the time-limited Voyage, A Reaper Gunpowder Run, you will achieve an Event Goal and earn 300 Doubloons.
Even though you have multiple Voyages, you will only receive 300 Doubloons for the first completion.
The Reaper Gunpowder Runs Event will be active from August 14th (10:00 AM UTC) to August 17th (10:00 AM UTC).
A Reaper Gunpowder Run
The Reaper Gunpowder Run Voyage is a multi-chapter, time-limited Voyage that will have you digging up explosive treasure at Skeleton Forts for the Reaper’s Bones.
For each Chapter of the Voyage, you must complete one X Marks the Spot Quest at a Skeleton Fort. The Voyage will always give you the same X Marks the Spot Quests per Chapter, meaning you and every other crew doing the Voyage will always visit the same Skeleton Forts in the same order. The Skeleton Forts you’ll visit in order are:
- Sailor’s Knot Stronghold
- Hidden Spring Keep
- Skull Keep
- Fort of the Damned
As you progress through the Chapters, the X Marks the Spot Quest you receive will have one more piece of treasure to dig up than the last, starting with two and ending with five.
The treasure you can dig up during the Voyage includes Gunpowder Barrels, Stronghold Gunpowder Barrels, Kegs of Ancient Black Powder, Firebomb Crates, Chests of Rage, Reaper’s Chests, and Reaper’s Bounties.
If you have a Reaper’s Bones Emissary Flag raised during the Voyage, you should reach Emissary Grade V by the end if you dig and pick up each piece of treasure from the Voyage. Every Gunpowder Barrel you pick up on this Voyage will increase your Reaper’s Bones Emissary Grade.
Gunpowder Boost
Not only will you receive Reaper’s Bones Emissary Grade for Gunpowder Barrels, but they will also reward you with more Gold and Reputation!
During the Event, you can earn boosted Gold and Reputation for any Gunpowder Barrels, Stronghold Gunpowder Barrels, and Kegs of Ancient Blac Powder you sell to the Reaper’s Bones.
The Gunpowder Barrel has the most significant boost, worth ten times its usual amount. The Stronghold Gunpowder Barrel and Keg of Ancient Black Powder are worth five times as much.
