3 unique contracts: The African Ailment, The Pursuing Plague and The Encroaching Epidemic
Complete these contracts to receive the seasonal vanities for your captain and ship
Skull and Bones: The Pursuing Plague Contract
The Pursuing Plague is another one of the three unique seasonal contracts available in Skull and Bones during Season 1: Raging Tides. Like "The African Ailment," it offers an opportunity to earn seasonal vanities for your captain and ship, contributing to the season’s theme.
While specific details haven’t been officially revealed, here’s what we can speculate based on the available information:
Theme:
The contract name, "The Pursuing Plague," suggests it’s directly connected to the Plague of Pestilence, a central theme of Season 1. This plague is likely spreading and posing a constant threat.
Objectives:
The exact objectives are unknown, but they likely involve confronting the Fleet of Pestilence. This fleet, led by Philippe La Peste, also known as the "Plague King," is associated with the spread of the plague. The objectives could involve:
Defeating Plaguebringer ships: These are smaller, faster ships belonging to the Fleet of Pestilence.
Intercepting shipments: Stopping the spread of the plague might involve intercepting resources or infected cargo transported by the Fleet.
Assisting affected settlements: Helping settlements suffering from the plague could be a task.
Rewards:
Completing the contract grants you seasonal vanities for your captain and ship. These are likely cosmetic items that enhance the visual appearance of your character and vessel, possibly themed around the plague or the fight against it.
Tips:
Look for information about the contract within the game’s menus, official announcements, or community forums as the season progresses.
Explore the world map and interact with NPCs to find clues and potential leads related to the objectives.
Consider focusing on activities that involve confronting the Fleet of Pestilence as they seem central to the contract’s theme.
By participating in The Pursuing Plague and other seasonal contracts, you can:
Personalize your character and ship: Earn unique cosmetic rewards that reflect the season’s theme.
Progress through the season: Completing contracts likely contributes to your overall season progress, potentially unlocking additional rewards or features.

Remember, these contracts are exclusive to Season 1: Raging Tides, which started on February 27, 2024, and likely ends sometime in April 2024.
