I stepped off the Jackdaw with a map that lied by omission and two crewmates staring at me like they’d lost a bet. You can hear the salt and the rumble of the sea before you see the island that holds what you want. I remember thinking: this will either make my crew laugh or send them screaming into the bilge.
I’m going to walk you through every outfit your crew can wear in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and show how to get each one without wasting time or bone fragments. Read fast, act smarter, and let the Jackdaw do the heavy lifting for you.
On my first market run I noticed half the crew refused to change a single hat — All crew outfits in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced
There are four outfits for your crew and each one tells a different story on the deck. I’ll list them, tell you where they come from, and give a short trade or purchase note so you don’t end up wasting doubloons.
- Standard Crew Attire — The default. Nothing to buy, nothing to trade; this is what your crew starts wearing the moment you leave port.
- Rugged Crew Attire — Available for purchase from any harbour master at most ports; think of this as the practical option for long raids and weathered sails.
- Black and Gold Crew Attire — Included with the Deluxe Edition or via Ubisoft+; if you grabbed the special edition on Steam, PlayStation Store, or Microsoft Store this one will already be in your wardrobe.
- Deceased Crew Attire (Skeleton Crew) — A cosmetic reward that requires farming bones (206) and visiting a specific harbour master to trade them in.
Which crew outfits are available in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced?
Short answer: Standard, Rugged, Black and Gold (Deluxe/Ubisoft+), and Deceased (Skeleton). If you play on Ubisoft+ or purchased the Deluxe Edition through storefronts such as Steam, PlayStation Store, or Xbox, Black and Gold appears in your collection automatically; no extra in-game grind required.
Is the Black and Gold outfit only part of the Deluxe Edition or Ubisoft+?
Yes. If you bought the Deluxe Edition (retail or digital) or subscribe to Ubisoft+, the Black and Gold Crew Attire is granted directly. Ubisoft+ subscription pricing varies by region — for example, roughly $14.99/month (€15) — and often includes deluxe cosmetic packs across Ubisoft titles, so check your library or the Ubisoft Connect app before sailing off to stores.
On one quiet night at the map’s center I found an island with no proper port — How to get the Deceased Crew Outfit in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced
The Deceased Crew Attire — often called the Skeleton Crew outfit — lives behind a single requirement: 206 bones. That’s a number that forces decisions. You can pay money for deluxe cosmetics, but this one is earned through hunting and persistence.
How do you get the Deceased (Skeleton) Crew outfit?
Step-by-step:
- Acquire the Jackdaw and open the map. The island you need sits near the center with no formal port but with a small harbour master on the shore.
- Collect 206 bones from animals and whales during your voyages. Bones are obtained from hunting land animals and whales; bring carcasses or processed remains back to towns and sell or trade for the outfit.
- Visit the harbour master on that small island and trade the 206 bones for the Deceased Crew Attire. No extra keys or quests are needed—just bones and the right harbor.
Practical tips: prioritize hunting whales and large land prey on islands with dense fauna, and keep a stack of harpoons and upgraded ammunition if you’re using mods or playing on platforms that support them. If you play with friends, assign hunting runs—one player concentrates on fauna while the other takes cargo missions to pay for supplies. The Skeleton outfit is a walking tombstone for your crew and will stand out on any dock or during a boarding action.
If you want to farm faster, focus on high-yield islands, time your sails for calm weather to avoid missing harpoons, and use the in-game map to mark hunting spots much like marking leads in a strategy tool such as Google Maps or a shared Notion board for your crew’s routes.
Ready to redecorate your deck and make a statement — or are you going to keep the crew in the same tired shirt until the next storm?
