To begin the hunt for the Royal Custodian in Skull and Bones, you must join a world event known as the Colonial Shipment Merchant Convoy. This world event is a rank 7 event, so make sure to prepare accordingly.

Next, follow these steps in sequence to complete the event in Skull and Bones:

• Begin the Colonial Shipment Merchant Convoy event, indicated by a blue icon on your world map. The event usually spawns north of the Sainte-Anne region.
• Make sure to bring your friends to the quest to assist you, if required - this is a co-op event.
• Once you set sail, be on the lookout for three merchant ships. The merchant ships are easily identifiable from the others. They will be surrounded by a set of ships to protect them from your onslaught.
• Attack or board the merchant ships, taking care of the smaller ships surrounding it in the process. Keep in mind that this is a rank 10 ship, so be prepared for a tough fight.
• Each merchant ship has a set chance to drop the Royal Custodian armor set.
• Complete the event as many times as required to finish the full set.

Alternatively, you can choose to obtain the Royal Custodian in Skull and Bones from the Legendary Heist Takeover quests instead. These Legendary Heist Takeovers refresh every 30 minutes and require you to attack a vessel to grab its loot. Looting these ships has a chance of dropping the precious armor set.
