A brand-new week means new rotations, new rewards, and fresh reasons to set sail across the Indian Ocean. From William Blackwood's shop to the Black Market, seasonal events, more Skull and Bones Items, Faction War updates, and the enormous cosmetic store rotation, this reset touches nearly every corner of the game. Whether you're a veteran pirate optimizing end-game builds or a new player trying to power through the campaign, this week brings several notable items worth grabbing.

 

Let's hoist the sails and break everything down.

 

William Blackwood's Shop: New Blueprint, Returning Staples & Key Upgrades

 

As usual, Blackwood's shop is the first stop for most players each reset. And while many items remain the "same old, same old" carryovers that will persist until the end of the season, we do get one standout addition this week:

 

Medicine Cabinet Blueprint

 

A brand-new furniture blueprint hits the top row of the shop. Like all seasonal top-row items, this will remain available throughout the entire season-but don't sleep on it. With ascension now available on armor and weapons, and Ubisoft clearly moving toward upgrading furniture in a future season, grabbing furniture blueprints now is future-proofing your loadout.

 

Other Key Items in Stock

 

Blackwood's high-value offerings return:

 

 Deep Iron

 Ascension Modules

 Upgrade Parts

 

If you're farming optimally, remember:

 

You can double-dip every week-buy the items at Blackwood, then travel to Telok Penjara for a second set of identical stock.

 

Furniture & Weapons Worth Considering

 

Several useful options return this week:

 

Machinist Table

 

Boosts mine and minefield damage by 20%, making it a top choice if the Infernal Maw event returns in full force.

 

Cholin's Guidance

 

Weak-point chain bonus:

 

 Hit a weak point → next weak-point hit gets +30% damage within 8 seconds.

 

Not everyone's favorite, but strong for precision-focused builds.

 

Urban's Great Guns

 

High DPM but limited by having only one elemental slot due to their tier. That said, they pair hilariously well with Flooding setups and projectile-speed stacking.

 

Buccaneer's Oath (Armor)

 

A top-tier PvE armor piece:

 

Destroying a target grants Blood and Gold, boosting weapon damage and armor by 25% for 30 seconds. A must-own if you haven't secured it yet.

 

The Tanasha (Torpedoes)

 

Still among the best torpedo options in the game.

 

Notable perks:

 

 Thunder: Reduces enemy armor by 200 for 10s

 

 Piercing: Torpedoes pass through ships and hit targets behind them

 

 Strong synergy with high-speed torpedo builds

 

Divine Thunders

 

You can buy four per week-two from Blackwood and two from Tok. A great long-gun option.

 

And of course, don't forget your Large Silver Chest-70k silver for free each week when doubled with Telok.

 

Yianara's Black Market: Best Picks for Newer Players

 

Over at Yianara's Black Market, the rotation offers nothing dramatically new, but her shop remains essential for new players.

 

Best Early-Game Weapon Recommendations

 

If you're fresh to Skull and Bones, immediately buy:

 

 Basilisk's Freeze

 Paddle Cannon

 Little Grace Freeze

 

These weapons are incredibly strong for early missions, story progression, and combat against small to mid-size ships.

 

Blueprints are also available for most standard gear if you're filling out your collection.

 

Seasonal Calendar: Final Week of the Halloween Event

 

This week marks the final chance to complete the Halloween event, turn in event currency, and snag exclusive cosmetics.

 

Hallowed Gravestone Vendor

 

Located at the top of Saint-Anne near the graveyard, this vendor sells:

 

 Seasonal cosmetic sets

 Ship colors & patterns

 The "Rec Room of the Lost" pass rewards

 

Boost your earnings using:

 

 Cholin's Guidance

 Seasonal Spoils (Store consumable)

 

If you're behind on the pass, this is the last week to push through.

 

Many players aren't loving the boss this season-it's been called tedious-but the cosmetics may be worth your effort.

 

Gloria Adorned Event (Time-Limited Activity)

 

Complete special convoy events marked by:

 

 A convoy icon

 

 A small circular emblem above it indicating the Gloria Adorned variant

 

Rewards include unique cosmetics available only through this event.

 

Faction Wars: Four Territories & New Rewards

 

Faction Wars are heating up with the introduction of four simultaneous territories, drastically expanding the PvP map.

 

Current Standings

 

 French faction currently dominates most zones

 

 Dutch are putting up a fight, especially in the African territories

 

This week may result in a 2-2 split-but French control of the East Indies is looking likely.Rewards Preview

 

By leveling your Faction War track (you can earn another 10 levels this week), you can unlock:

 

 Cascade Coil

 Heavenly Thunder

 Laden Vault Array

 Upgrade parts

 Cosmetics

 

Claim your materials chest if your faction tied or won last week.

 

Fastest Way to Farm Faction War Levels

 

War Cargo deliveries.

 

Look for icons awarding 400 war assets. These missions are PvP-enabled, so bring a build optimized for ship-to-ship combat.

 

Recommended PvP Build Snapshot

 

(From the creator's brief mention)

 

 Weapons: Carrier Freeze ×4 with Rupturing, Amp Toxic, Overflow

 Aux: Little Grace (for 600m sniping) with Restorative and Power

 Armor: Black Prince (swap depending on enemy builds)

 Furniture: Fire Barrels, Costic Exploration, High Velocity Kegs, Ramrod Workshops, Blightbringer's Ward, Long Gun Works

 

This build excels at long-range pressure and sustained DPS.

 

Cosmetic Store Reset: Massive Rotation, Returning Favorites & Premium Sets

 

This week's cosmetic store rotation is huge, bringing back dozens of premium sets along with Halloween cosmetics, ship skins, bundles, and fireworks.

 

Here are the highlights:

 

Sea of Kingdoms Set

 

Available for:

 1,800 premium currency, or

 Free via seasonal progression (except the hull color)

 

Includes:

 Head, body, feet cosmetics

 Sail emblem

 Sail color

 

Premium Event Pass

 

Expires next week-spend your earned tokens soon.

 

Seasonal Spoils Buff

 

A consumable that increases event currency for 3 hours.

 

Highly recommended for farming the last week of Halloween content.

 

Ship Cosmetics & Character Sets Worth Noting

 

Snow Ship Set

 

A full visual overhaul similar to last season's Brigantine transformation. Only available intermittently-great for collectors.

 

Walking Remains (Undead Skin)

 

One of the most creative character cosmetics:

 

 Change hat, boots, and eye color

 Fully animated undead body

 

Majestic Madness

 

A fan-favorite:

 

 Full clothing set

 

 Matching ship cosmetics including emblem, figurehead, hull color, wheel, and sail pattern

 

Wolfheart Seas

 

A wolf-themed set with striking ship and character visuals.

 

Long Gun "Ronin's Howl" Weapon Skin

A standout weapon skin with detailed art and excellent theming.

 

Suave Sea Dog Fleet

 

A massive premium bundle:

 

 Full character set

 Pet (cat)

 Multiple ship parts

 Crew skin

 Fireworks

 Tattoos

 

While it's comprehensive, its high cost is controversial among players.

 

 Returning Classics

 Libertine Set (early-game nostalgia for many players)

 Wanderer Set (with the iconic arrow-through-the-hat)

 Faceless Set (dark, gritty visuals with glowing accents)

 

Hubac Twins Bundle

 

Complete with:

 

 Legendary clothing

 Ship cosmetics

 Their unique playable instrument

 

Call of the Hydra / Hydra Unleashed

 

A naval cosmetic theme with matching fireworks.

 

Shadow Arc, Blood Curse, Stars Above, Lost Bastion

All return with ship-focused cosmetics for players wanting distinctive visual styles.

 

Pets & Fireworks

 

 Crab pet with helmet (fan favorite)

 "Pissed" and "Sea of Tears" fireworks (very toxic, but hilarious)

 

Final Thoughts on This Week's Reset

 

This reset isn't the biggest or the most game-changing, but it delivers:

 

 A new must-grab blueprint

 Strong rotation of furniture and weapons

 The final sprint for Halloween cosmetics

 Four-territory Faction Wars

 A massive cosmetic shop lineup

 

For players optimizing builds, preparing for future furniture upgrades, make Skull and Bones Silver or finishing seasonal content, this week has plenty of value even if the update feels lighter than usual.
