Skull and Bones Moonshine Larceny Event

The Moonshine Larceny event in Skull and Bones Year 2 Season 2 ("Oaths of War") introduced new challenges and rewards, but specific details on new weapons tied directly to this event are limited. The Skull and Bones Moonshine Larceny Event is a time-limited event running from July 22nd to August 19th, 2025. During this event, players engage in combat against convoys and fleets loaded with supplies and goods tied to the war between the DMC-Companie factions. Here’s what’s known:

Moonshine Larceny Event Overview

• Description: The event involves fighting convoys and fleets carrying supplies for the war between the Compagnie Royale and the Dutch Merchant Company. Players can start the event by speaking with Yanita and summon the Manic Moonshiner and its fleet using 10 Grain Flare, obtained through Hourly and Daily Contracts. Moonshiner ships have Flammable Weak Points, making explosive weapons effective.
• Challenges: Offers challenges to earn up to 18,000 Smuggler Points, with tasks like boarding ships (corrected completion values: 5/15/30).
• Rewards: Completing challenges grants Smuggler Points, with potential rewards like Specialized Materials, Refined Helm materials, or a random Ascended Weapon from a Megafort Cache.

New Weapons Context

The Moonshine Larceny event doesn’t explicitly list new weapons, but the Year 2 Season 2 update introduced the Frigate, a large ship with dual auxiliary slots and strong broadside capabilities, suggesting associated weaponry.

• Potential Weapons: The season introduced the Demolition Mortar, available through the Pirate Broker at the Faction Reputation Shop during Faction War events, aligning with the explosive damage focus for Moonshine Larceny.
• Explosive Weapons: Community discussions recommend weapons like the Eye of Heaven and Dardanelles (Dards) for their effectiveness against barriers and weak points, though these may not be new to the event.
• Ascended Weapons: The event’s Megafort Cache can drop random Ascended Weapons, high-tier items with unique damage types or affixes, possibly including explosive or fire-based options suited for the event.

Additional Notes

• Weapon Acquisition: Craft weapons at the Blacksmith using blueprints and materials. Blueprints can be earned through events, contracts, or the Smuggler Pass, which includes the Frigate blueprint and potentially related weapons.
• Community Insights: Players suggest focusing on explosive damage for event ships. Weapons like Nashkar or Naga’s Call might be event-specific and harder to obtain post-event unless reintroduced.
• Seasonal Context: Weekly challenges offer up to 3,000 Smuggler Points, potentially unlocking additional rewards or blueprints via the Smuggler Pass.

Recommendations

• Use Explosive Weapons: Equip weapons like the Dardanelles or Eye of Heaven to exploit Flammable Weak Points.
• Check the Smuggler Pass: Look for weapon blueprints or Ascended Weapons in the rewards.
• Farm Contracts: Gather Grain Flare through Hourly and Daily Contracts to participate and earn rewards.
• Faction War Rewards: Engage in the mid-season Faction War to access the Demolition Mortar and other epic equipment.
