How to unlock the Tome of Resurrection Collector achievement

    This achievement is for collecting all 5 Tomes of Resurrection.

    Tomes of Resurrection are the most recent and final set of tomes you will have to collect. Tomes of Resurrection are found within Ashen Chests that require Ashen Keys to open. There are 3 main way of obtaining Ashen Chests, one of which guarantees one of the Tomes of Resurrection.

    You can get chests from Skeleton Fleets or as a random drop from Meg or the Kraken and keys from fishing, but I am concentrating on the ones you can farm with the smallest amount of waiting time between islands/events.

    Guaranteed Tome of Resurrection... Maybe
    As of this edit I have not been able to get a skeleton fort at Molten Sands since the March 2020 update to see if you're guaranteed a Tome or Resurrection upon completion. Also, who wants to do that fort? No one, that's who Rare. If you see Molten Sands is the active fort it is worth a try. If anyone who reads this happens to complete a Molten Sands fort, please leave a comment as to whether or not you received a Tome of Resurrection from the Ashen Chest found inside the vault/loot room upon completion post March 2020 update.
    The following two ways are RNG based so good luck.

    Easy & Fast
    If you have doubloons and/or gold to spare you can go to Larinna outside any of the taverns in the world and purchase an Ashen Chest Stash and Ashen Key Stash voyages. These will give you a X marks the spot map for the outpost you're currently located. Dig them up and role the RNG dice.

    Check Larinna's prices for yourself on the Stash voyages as Rare has been changing the price between updates as of this solution edit.
    Hard & Time Consuming
    If you want/need to save your doubloons and/or gold then sail around the world looking for skeleton captains. These will be either Ashen Guardians or Ashen Key Masters.

    Guardians drop a riddle order that you will have to complete to obtain the Ashen Chest while the Key Master drop an X marks order for the spot for the Ashen Key. The orders drop next to the Villainous Skull from the skeleton if you are having trouble locating it. Typically the orders are for the island you are located on.

    Time Saving Tips
    1. Ashen Guardians hold swords while Ashen Key Masters hold flintlock pistols. If you need keys because you have lots of chests (or vice versa) then this will let you utilize your spyglass to save you time from having to anchor or jumping off the boat to determine which Ashen captain you're looking at.

    2. Ashen Guardians and Key Masters spawn in predetermined locations on every island. The complete list of these spawn locations for each island is a long list and this text heavy solution is enough of a read as it is, so I will give one as an example.

    Cannon cove has a beach on the east side. The Ashen captain will spawn on this beach towards the south stretch of the beach.

    2.5 This is something I noticed while doing the Thieves Haven Athena Run voyage and sitting on Thieves Haven while my crew sailed to the riddle islands for 7 hours one day. The longer you remain on an island the more locations on an island Ashen and regular captains will spawn. The spawns are always close or on a beach.

    3. Rare keeps changing things in the game (mostly for optimization and visual continuity between the Xbox One consoles and PC). Because of this they ashen captains have had several visual changes since this solutions original March 2020 posting. Originally ashen captains looked like any other emergent captain only with a red glow. Now they look more... asheny... than normal captains. Hopefully this is their final iteration.
    If you give any TA solution a down vote please leave a comment as to why. Solutions cannot be improved without feedback.

    Thanks to thatNoseyParker and ImmenseCookie for informing me of changes so I could update the solution.

    The Dawn of DonThanks for catching my doubloons price mistake thatNoseyParker. I wish Rare would stop changing the price. I might just change the solution to say something like "check Duke's prices since stashes (and maybe keys also) keep changing at Rare's whim."

    ImmenseCookieJust a quick update to say Duke has moved on and now the Ashen key/chest voyages are available from Larinna just outside the pub at an outpost.

    Ahoy Maties! The Dawn of Don has an excellent text guide above, so refer to that for a lot of details, but I want to share with you a way to get ALL of the Ashen Tomes (Resurrection, Fire, Curses, and Power) in an hour or two for FREE. With the new Chests of Rage update you can now purchase Ashen Key and Ashen Chest voyages, which many of you probably already know.

    BUT if you do this on a galleon (getting 4 for the price of 1), the amount of doubloons you gain will essentially make your net cost of getting these voyages free, and you can sit at an outpost with a galleon and three other players to grind these tombs at no cost!!!! Check the video for more details!

    Cheers! -Damron Out

    As per 19-2-2020 you can buy Ashen Chest Voyages and Ashen Key Voyages from Duke, but as far as I'm seeing, you can't get the new Tomes of Resurrection from these voyages. I tried about 5 voyages and key's at an outpost and all I got were the old tomes (fire, power and curse).
    I think if you want the new Tomes of Resurrection, you'll have to complete the specific voyage for it which costs 0 doubloons!

    Edit: Thanks for the replies! So it CAN be done, however chances are slim.

    Robby7430My crew prob spent 1100 doubloons across all 4 of us and got all of them in like 30 min. It's all a roll of the dice. You do get a good chunk back tho due to selling the tomes, ritual skulls, and ashen chests.
    Idk why there are downvotes yeah its slim chances because theres 20 tomes but theres no better way to do it than that. Besides as long as key and chest voyages stay in this solution will stand the test of tome as more updates release and monthly voyages change

    mrbellekI got another one last night, in a row of 4 stashes. My buddy has been going at it longer, and got his fifth and last one the same night.

    This method works, but it takes literally thousands of doubloons and doesn't guarantee you get all 5.

    mrbellekI just heard that the patch notes state that you are guaranteed a Tome of Resurrection from the Ashen Chest in the vault of Molten Sands fortress. But since it's the only active fort this month, people will probably fight you for it!
