The ongoing battle between Captain Flameheart and the Pirate Lord continues in Sea of Thieves' Legends Unleashed, a two-week event that sees both sides rallying their forces. The Pirate Lord is calling for defenders of the pirate way of life to unite and strike back against the relentless Flameheart and his growing army of followers, whereas the latter won't let the attack go unnoticed. Running from July 17 to July 31, there are various ways you can take in the event, whether you're a dedicated Athena's Fortune fan or a Reaper through and through who wants to let the flame burn.

Here's how to get the Wild Seas Curse in Sea of Thieves, also known by some players as the 'Shark Curse.'

Participating in this time-limited Sea of Thieves event can also net you some neat rewards for your efforts and to mark the occasion. It's also one not to miss if you're trying to level up your Athena's Fortune reputation or seek to rise through the ranks of the Reaper's Bones. This Sea of Thieves Legends Unleashed event guide details all the ways you can participate and the rewards you can earn, with different themes for weeks one and two.

How to Take Part in the Legends Unleashed Event

To take part in Sea of Thieves' Legends Unleashed event, you'll need to set sail on the High Seas anytime between July 17 to July 31 (10am UTC). Week one of the event is themed around Athena's Fortune, and week two is themed around the Reaper's Bones. However, during both weeks of the event, you can complete daily goals for Athena's Fortune as found in the event section of the Pirate Log tab.

It's not possible to complete daily goals for either Athena's Fortune or the Reapers as part of the event in Safer Seas.

During week two of the event, from July 24 to July 31, there are also daily goals to complete for the Reaper's Bones.

Legendary Daily Goals for Athena's Fortune (Legends Unleashed Week One)

During week one of Legends Unleashed, you can complete daily Athena's Fortune-themed goals that unlock each day of the event, one at a time. The nature of each goal varies, but many involve different ways of tracking down and selling Athena's Fortune treasure. Completing daily Athena's Fortune-themed goals rewards you with double gold and Athena's Fortune reputation when handing treasure in to either the Mysterious Stranger in the tavern or the Sovereigns at any Sea of Thieves outpost, along with Seasonal Renown and Doubloons.

Altogether, there are eight Legendary daily goals in total to complete once unlocked, as outlined in the table below:
