With the arrival of Season of Plunder, a new artifact with unique traits was introduced to players which are known as the Skeleton Key.
As players start during Season of Plunder, this artifact is found as the Guardian assists in recovering Spider who was precious cargo at the time.
Thankful for the Guardian’s help, Spider allowed them to continue using his ship known as a Ketch and let them keep and use the Skeleton Key to open doors their enemies would close.
