Each season, Destiny 2 has a story which updates with new steps each week - requiring you to collect season-specific currency and activities to progress. In Season of Plunder, this is finding Treasure Coordinates and Map Fragments, which will in turn allow you to dig up treasure using Treasure Maps from Expeditions. Confused? This seasonal storyline is designed to take you through this step-by-step. Though the storyline wrapped on the weekly reset of October 11th, the quest can be played into early 2022.. This page explains how Sails of the Shipstealer works as well as all Sails of the Shipstealer quest steps. On this page: It’s December, which means the return of The Dawning and Moments of Triumph 2022! Elsewhere, the Season of the Seraph is here alongside More than a Weapon, Seraph Key Codes and Resonate Stems and the addition of Rose in Crucible. We’ve also seen a new dungeon, Spire of the Watcher, with has a chance of Hierarchy of Needs dropping upon completion. Earliear this year we had the arrival of King’s Fall and King’s Fall challenges, plus weapons including Doom of Chelchis and Touch of Malice. For The Witch Queen, learn how to get Dead Messenger and Parasite. Once done, you must then complete ‘Ahoy and Aweigh’ - introducing you to Ketchcrash and the Captain’s Atlas in the H.E.L.M., the ‘vendor’ for the season - which then finally gives you ‘Sails of the Shipstealer’. Each week, the Sails of the Shipstealer quest steps follow a familiar pattern - visiting the H.E.L.M., looting a Treasure Map at an Expedition once you have enough Map Fragments and Treasure Coordinates, and finally a Pirate Hideout activity, before returning to the H.E.L.M. or Eliskni Quarter for some character interactions to progress the story. Sails of the Shipstealer has a total of 62 steps, with only a certain number of steps releasing each week. You can either play these as they are released, or wait until later in the season to play them in bulk - whatever works for you!

And with that, Sales of the Shipstealer and the Season of Plunder come to a close. It’s December, which means the return of The Dawning and Moments of Triumph 2022! Elsewhere, the Season of the Seraph is here alongside More than a Weapon, Seraph Key Codes and Resonate Stems and the addition of Rose in Crucible. We’ve also seen a new dungeon, Spire of the Watcher, with has a chance of Hierarchy of Needs dropping upon completion. Earliear this year we had the arrival of King’s Fall and King’s Fall challenges, plus weapons including Doom of Chelchis and Touch of Malice. For The Witch Queen, learn how to get Dead Messenger and Parasite. Though the Seasonal Challenges and Artifact will move on once the Season ends, this quest - and the associated currencies and activities - will remain until the next major expansion releases. This will be Year 6 and Lightfall, which launches on 28th February, 2023. So though it’s worth playing Sails of the Shipstealer during Season of Plunder to get the most out of that season’s rewards, if you want to catch up later, then you can.
