Skull and Bones Y2S4 Patch Notes: Limited-Time Founding Event
Year 2 Season 4 brings celebration to the Indian Ocean as Skull and Bones launches a major limited-time event honoring a milestone in pirate history. The City Founding Celebration returns to commemorate the second anniversary of St. Anne's City, inviting captains to take part in legendary challenges, high-risk raids, and a reward track packed with valuable loot and exclusive cosmetics.
This event blends festive atmosphere with serious progression opportunities, making it one of the most rewarding limited-time activities introduced so far in Year 2.
Event Schedule and Availability
The Founding Event runs for a full month, giving players ample time to participate without feeling rushed:
Event Period:
February 10, 2026 at 6:00 AM UTC
to
March 10, 2026 at 6:00 AM UTC
During this window, St. Anne's City becomes the heart of celebration, trade, and conflict. Event-related challenges, merchants, and activities are only available while the celebration is active, so participation during this period is essential for anyone looking to collect everything on offer.
Legendary Challenges and Event Activities
At the core of the City Founding Celebration are legendary challenges designed to test a captain's combat skill, tactical awareness, and endurance. These challenges range from defeating elite enemy fleets to raiding heavily defended Sea Lord territories, each encounter offering escalating difficulty and increasingly valuable rewards.
Event fleets are more aggressive than standard encounters, encouraging players to bring optimized builds and cooperate with others when possible. Whether you prefer solo mastery or coordinated group play, the event offers multiple ways to engage without locking rewards behind a single playstyle.
Completing challenges contributes directly to your overall event progress, unlocking both immediate loot and milestone rewards tied to the celebration.
Silver Lions – The Heart of the Event Economy
A defining feature of the Founding Event is the introduction of Silver Lions, a unique, limited-time event currency. Silver Lions are earned through challenges, raids, and event-specific activities and can be spent at the event merchant in St. Anne's City.
What makes Silver Lions especially valuable is their purchasing power. Using this currency, players can acquire all weapons and equipment introduced since Season 1 of Year 2. This effectively turns the Founding Event into a catch-up opportunity for anyone who missed previous seasonal gear or wants to complete unfinished builds.
Because of this, Silver Lions are among the most desirable currencies introduced in Season 4. Efficient farming becomes key, and some captains may choose to supplement their grind by planning builds ahead of time—or buy Skull and Bones Items from trusted sources like the MMOexp store to ensure they're event-ready from day one.
Frigate Unlock Returns – Plus a New Cosmetic Set
One of the most exciting announcements tied to the Founding Event is the return of the frigate unlock opportunity. Players who missed their chance in earlier seasons can finally add this powerful ship to their fleet.
By completing a specific number of event challenges, captains can unlock the frigate outright. Even better, the reward track doesn't stop there—successful participants also earn a brand-new cosmetic set, giving the frigate a distinct visual identity that marks it as a Founding Event reward.
This dual incentive makes the event especially appealing to both collectors and performance-focused players. Unlocking a ship and an exclusive cosmetic through gameplay ensures the reward feels earned and memorable.
Reward Highlights – Wealth, Gear, and Festive Treats
The Founding Event delivers one of the most diverse reward pools seen in Skull and Bones to date. Participants can earn a wide range of items, including:
Silver Lions
Rum Fruitcake, a festive consumable tied to the celebration
City Founding Chests
Octagonal Gold Coins
Gilded Coins
Large Skull and Bones Silver Chests
Additional materials, currencies, and equipment
These rewards support nearly every aspect of progression, from crafting and upgrading to cosmetic customization. The variety ensures that no matter your current goals—wealth accumulation, ship enhancement, or visual flair—the event offers something worthwhile.
Because the Founding Event combines high-difficulty encounters with valuable rewards, preparation plays a major role in success. Optimizing weapons, armor, and furniture before diving into event fleets can dramatically improve efficiency and survivability.
As demand for upgrades rises during the event, competition for materials is expected to increase. Some captains will grind daily challenges and raids to stay ahead, while others may choose to buy Skull and Bones Items to minimize downtime and focus purely on completing event objectives.
Either way, planning ahead ensures you can spend more time celebrating—and less time scrambling for resources.
The City Founding Celebration stands out as a flagship limited-time event in Skull and Bones Y2S4. With a generous event window, meaningful challenges, a powerful event currency, and the return of the frigate unlock, it delivers both nostalgia and progression in equal measure.
From Silver Lions and legacy gear to festive treats and exclusive cosmetics, the Founding Event offers wealth, glory, and a true carnival atmosphere at sea. Whether you're a veteran captain or a returning pirate, St. Anne's City is calling—and the celebration is well worth answering, Kuli.
