So as of now our deckhands abilities are slow as hell, especially shipbuilder which is useful in the dark sea especially when we can’t manually fix our boat.
I just propose an exotic artifact we can get from crates and underwater chests that gives Ability Cooldown Reduction % to deckhand abilities
you would actually only need 10 deckhands to get 100% with a 5% artifact since each deckhand can hold 2.
A 40% cooldown reduction sounds like something very worthwhile to grind for.
never really understood the effort rating. if you cook peak in 5 words, you cooked peak in 5 words. the number of words shouldnt need to be artificially inflated
My question is, what should the actual artifact be?
Here are some of my considerations:
Old Tin Cup (literally an old, stained metal cup; a reference to how popular coffee was [and still is] as a commodity back during the era of exploration; coffee is known to give its consumers an energy boost and decrease fatigue, which makes sense for an artifact that decreases your deckhand’s cooldowns)
Tattered Logbook (an old journal belonging to a long-dead quartermaster; on a pirate ship, the quartermaster was second-in-command to the captain, responsible for managing rations and supplies, supervising crewmembers, and dividing up stolen loot among the crew; in the game, we have Enizor and/or Edward Kenton as our quartermasters)
