Destiny 2 Sails of the Shipstealer quest steps up to Week 7 What's involved in the Season of Plunder questline. Guide by Justin Koreis Contributor Additional contributions by Matthew Reynolds Updated on 5 Oct 2022 Destiny 2's Sails of the Shipstealer is a quest running throughout Season of Plunder. 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, as well as give you story to chew on until the next weekly reset. This page explains how Sails of the Shipstealer works as well as all Sails of the Shipstealer quest steps as they're released.

This starts automatically the first time you load up the season, but if not, then you can begin from the H.E.L.M. 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'. To start Sails of the Shipstealer, you must complete 'Salvage and Salvation' and 'Ahoy and Aweigh' first. 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!
