If you are looking to give your ship a darker, more dramatic aesthetic in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, the Skeleton Crew outfit—officially known as the Deceased Crew Attire—is the perfect cosmetic. Unlike standard gear acquired through story progression, this ship vanity requires a specific trip to a secret vendor.
How to Unlock the Deceased Crew Attire
To acquire the Skeleton Crew look, you will need to head to a vendor located on a small island near Salt Key Bank. Since this location is not tied to any main quest markers, you will need to sail there manually and scout the island to find the trader. Once you locate the vendor, you can purchase the Deceased Crew Attire for 206 Animal Bones.
This same vendor also stocks other unique items, including Captain Drake’s Flintlocks Legendary Pistol, the Phoenix Figurehead, and various paintings, all of which are purchased using the same currency.
The Fastest Way to Collect Animal Bones
The primary barrier to unlocking the Skeleton Crew look is the cost of 206 Animal Bones. There are two efficient ways to farm this currency:
- Hunting and Skinning: The most direct way to gather bones is by hunting wildlife found throughout the game world. Skinning these animals will provide the bones necessary for your purchase.
- Manor Upgrades: If you prefer to bypass the hunting grind, check your manor upgrades to see if the treasure hunter is available. If unlocked, you can purchase the required bones from him using Reales, effectively saving you the time spent tracking and killing animals in the wild.
Once you have amassed 206 bones, simply return to the Salt Key Bank vendor to finalize the transaction and update your crew’s appearance to the undead pirate theme.
