While you cannot specifically choose "Outpost Sot" or any other particular outpost to dive to, the 'Dive to Location' feature in Sea of Thieves does offer a way to fast-travel your ship back to an outpost. This mechanic, when utilized with specific voyages, will return you to your initial outpost.
Understanding the 'Dive to Location' Mechanic
The 'Dive to Location' feature is a fast-travel system designed to quickly move your ship across the map, usually to the starting point of a selected voyage. Crucially, when used in the context of certain quests, this feature serves to return you to an outpost.
How to Use 'Dive to Location' to Return to an Outpost
To utilize the 'Dive to Location' option and be transported to an initial outpost, follow these steps:
- Start a Voyage: Begin by approaching a quest board at any outpost.
- Select a Merchant Voyage: Choose and initiate a Merchant Voyage quest. These voyages are instrumental in activating the 'Dive to Location' functionality that leads back to an outpost.
- Activate 'Dive to Location': Once the voyage is selected, you will be presented with the 'Dive to Location' option. Choosing this will initiate a fast-travel sequence.
Important Note: Activating the 'Dive to Location' option in this manner will cause your ship to despawn and then reappear, or "spawn," at your initial outpost. This means you won't be able to select a specific outpost like "Outpost Sot" from a list; instead, the game automatically places you at an outpost that serves as a starting point.
This method is a convenient way to quickly reset your position back to a safe harbor, restock, or start a new adventure from an outpost, especially if you find yourself far from one after a long journey or encounter.
