Silver Lions be exchanged for cosmetics, weapons, and blueprints, including rare and returning Year 1 items. Some of the biggest highlights include the Illustrious Founding set, a new ship, an adorable pet, and a brand-new firework.
Players can acquire Silver Lions in two ways: purchasing them with Sovereigns or earning them through in-game challenges. Special weekly challenges, world events (excluding convoys), and a mission to recover The Exeter’s cargo all provide Silver Lions as rewards. Convoys, while not dropping Silver Lions, will still contain valuable loot like crafting materials and celebration coins.

What are the Skull and Bones Founding Anniversary event activities?
The Exeter’s Cargo
The mission titled "Recover the Exeter’s Cargo" is one of the major activities during The Founding Anniversary event. In this quest, salvagers have stolen valuable cargo and are attempting to flee the Indian Ocean. You must track down and sink the convoy to recover Exeter Chests, which may contain premium cosmetics alongside Silver Lions.
Sainte-Anne
Once you have collected enough Silver Lions, you can head to the celebration store beneath Scurlock’s statue in Sainte-Anne. This location offers various limited-time rewards, including weapon blueprints, cosmetics, and furniture. Additionally, a special celebration cache near the statue contains more event-exclusive loot.
Despite a rocky launch, Ubisoft is doubling down on Skull and Bones with this anniversary event. Rumors of Year 2 content even suggest that the game may have a longer lifespan than expected.
