The Royal Custodian is a highly sought-after ship armor piece in Skull and Bones, offering excellent protection and a valuable perk. Here’s what you need to know:
Acquisition:
While the exact method of obtaining the Royal Custodian remains a bit of a mystery, there are two confirmed ways:
Colonial Shipment Event: This co-op event involves taking down three large merchant ships and their escorts. You have a chance of finding the Royal Custodian as bonus loot after defeating the main ships.
Black Market: Although it appears rarely, you can potentially purchase the Royal Custodian from the Black Market for a significant amount of Sovereigns.
Stats and Perk:
The Royal Custodian boasts impressive stats:
Armor Value: 11.50
Explosive Resistance: 24%
Flooding Resistance: 12%
Fire Resistance: 12%
Piercing Resistance: 30%
Additionally, it comes with the "Re-fortify" perk, which activates a 35% armor increase for 12 seconds after using a repair kit. This perk makes the Royal Custodian incredibly valuable for surviving intense battles and overcoming challenging encounters.
Tips for Obtaining:
Since the Colonial Shipment Event occurs randomly, participating regularly increases your chances of encountering it.
Monitor the Black Market frequently to see if the Royal Custodian appears for purchase.
Consider joining a crew or community with players who might share information about the Colonial Shipment Event or have spare Royal Custodian pieces.
