If, for some reason, the simple, serene pleasures of oceanic angling aren’t already enough to tempt you to whip our your rod in Sea of Thieves, Rare is offering additional incentive for the next two weeks in the form of a surprise fishing challenge, .
Sea of Thieves’ Hunter’s Haul event, as it’s officially known, starts today, 24th February, and is split into two separate week-long challenges.
During the first week, you’ll need to hoist 120 fish of any type out of the water at old Merrick’s behest, handing them over to a Hunter’s Call representative at your nearest Seapost. Those that manage to do so by Sunday, 1st March, will receive 250 Doubloons to spend in-game.
Things get a little more specific on 2nd March, and players will be required to catch and hand in 60 relatively rare Trophy fish variants before the event reaches its conclusion on Monday, 9th March. Do this, and you’ll be awarded 300 additional Doubloons.
That’s not quite the end of it, however; over the course of the two week event, Rare will also be keeping tabs on the number of Ruby Splashtails successfully caught and turned in. Those players managing to reel in 180 of these rosy faced beauties before proceedings come to an end will be gifted the rather striking Gold Hauler Figurehead, as seen above.
