I had at least 10 of each collectible, but just finished the knockouts and cups on 150cc, definitely didn't 3-star them. Then finished Special Cup again and mirror mode unlocked

A wondrous Season 17 Community Weekend solo slooping on the Sea of Thieves! Probably my favourite so far - and definitely the most profitable! Lots of fishing, smuggling and ruby red rewards to match my pirate's style 🎁🧨⛵❤️
