In Skull and Bones, your journey to becoming the most notorious pirate doesn't end with just cannons and plunder-your image plays a vital role too. The "Dressed to Kill" quest challenges you to sharpen your style and show Sainte-Anne you're not just any sailor-you're the captain to watch. This guide walks you through how to complete the quest, including where to go, what to buy, and what rewards you'll earn.

Quest Overview

Quest Name: Dressed to Kill

Location: Sainte-Anne

Quest Giver: The Blacksmith

Objective: Purchase new clothing to improve your pirate image

Reward: 120 Silver, Maurine Ship Cosmetic, Cutter Ship Blueprint, Reputation Boost

As your notoriety grows in the pirate haven of Sainte-Anne, so does the scrutiny. This quest is all about refining your appearance to match your rising fame.

Step 1: Accept the Quest from the Blacksmith

To start the "Dressed to Kill" quest:

Head to the Blacksmith's forge in Sainte-Anne.

Interact with the Blacksmith and look for the Dressed to Kill contract.

Accept the contract, which sets your objective to purchase some stylish new pirate gear.

The Blacksmith may poke fun at your current look, but that's all part of the pirate banter.

Step 2: Find the Vanity Atelier

Once you have the contract, it's time to find the tailor.

Getting to the Vanity Atelier:

From the Blacksmith, head across the bridge that leads toward Scurlock's quarters.

Before you reach Scurlock's main building, veer left.

Go up the stairs and look for the Vanity Atelier, marked clearly with a sign.

Inside, you'll meet Florentine d'Alesso, your go-to fashion expert in Sainte-Anne.

Step 3: Purchase Pirate Clothing

Florentine offers two main services:

Change your physical appearance.

Purchase clothing

For this quest, you must buy new clothing to fulfill the image requirement. You'll browse a selection of pirate gear, from hats to boots to intricate vests and coats.

Clothing Tips:

You do not need to buy a full outfit.

Purchase at least two visible pieces-typically, a shirt and a hat will suffice to complete the quest.

Watch your silver balance. Clothing pieces are sold individually, and prices can vary depending on their rarity and design.

You can opt for budget-friendly Skull and Bones items or go big with something truly fearsome and flashy. Either way, the goal is to elevate your look to match your pirate reputation.

Step 4: Return to the Blacksmith

Once you've added some stylish flair to your wardrobe:

Head back to the Blacksmith in Sainte-Anne.

Turn in the "Dressed to Kill" contract.

Florentine's makeover will have done the trick, and the community will start recognizing you not only for your deeds but for your pirate style too.

Quest Rewards

Completing the "Dressed to Kill" quest rewards you with:

120 Silver - a tidy sum to help fund your next adventure.

Maurine Ship Cosmetic - a unique cosmetic item to personalize your vessel.

Cutter Ship Blueprint - unlocks the ability to build the Cutter, a small but versatile ship ideal for early to mid-game.

Reputation Increase - your growing infamy helps unlock future quests, opportunities, and trade options around the region.

Why This Quest Matters

While the quest seems cosmetic, it has important progression benefits:

Unlocks ship customization options via reputation increases.

Grants access to the Cutter, one of the more flexible early-game ships.

Introduces you to the Vanity Atelier, which becomes crucial later as more vanity items become available.

Helps you look the part when dealing with more serious pirate factions or impressing key NPCs.

Pro Tip: Save Silver for Essentials

Pirate fashion is tempting, but early on, your Skull and Bones silver is limited. Focus on purchasing only the required pieces to complete the quest. Later in the game, when you have more resources, you can come back to build out a full ensemble.

Conclusion

"Dressed to Kill" is a simple yet stylish quest that helps deepen your immersion in the world of Skull and Bones. It's not just about firepower-it's also about flair. Embrace your new look, sail out with confidence, and show the seas that you're a captain with both teeth and taste.

Whether you prefer the rugged rogue vibe or a refined corsair look, this quest marks the moment where you start forging your identity, not just as a pirate, but as a legend.
