There are three special types of online-only events that can occur as you roam the Caribbean: social chests, royal convoys or white whales. If you happen to come close enough to any of them, the corresponding icon will appear on your screen, and will subsequently be shared with all your friends who play Assassin’s Creed IV online (who will also be able to claim this opportunity). These usually lead to significant rewards.
In addition, online players can attempt to fulfill community challenges. These require the community of all Assassin’s Creed IV players who play online to perform a specific action – for example, plunder a ship – a certain amount of times. You will be rewarded if the community meets the requirement and you contribute enough by completing your personal objective.

Social Chests |
These work in the same fashion as standard chests, though they contain greater amounts of money (1,000-1,100 R). |
|
|
Royal Convoys |
These function in much the same way as standard convoys, but with better rewards (10,000 R). |

White Whale |
You can harpoon these like any other sea animals. Each will yield a White Whale Skin – it takes three of these to craft the Whaler Outfit. |
