EXTRA USE FOR BOTTLES
Bottles are pretty useless for most classes that don’t use sailor’s fist. I am proposing a universal use for bottles including adding additional features to the current use of bottles. My suggestion is that bottling should be given 2 (and a half) extra uses which are:

  1. Ability to bottle clouds in the clouds around islands in ‘The Sky’ each attempt at bottling would consume 1 bottle and have a small chance of acquiring a Island Cloud Extract. (prob. 5-8% but up to discretion of balance team)
  2. Similar to previous suggestion where bottling in the dark sea has a VERY RARE chance of receiving a Dark Sea Essentia (prob. less than 1%)
    2.5. Normal Sea bottling could give something extra like: seaweed, boot, can, thunder crystal; similarly Dark Sea bottling could have respectively: seaweed, auric seaweed, boot, can, stormsalt, life essence, etc. (Not Super Important thus designated 2.5)

Reasoning:

  • As the game is expanding, I believe that diversifying the loot systems would improve the atmosphere of the game by making mundane tasks like bottling a way of getting items that currently are not obtainable naturally. (only obtainable from random chest drops)
  • It gives another use to bottles lol.
  • It is not intended to “break the game” through bottling, all drops would be rare, others exceedingly rare.
  • Small change, but a lot of good small features eventually add up.
  • Allows Vetex new methods for creating new unique “bottled” items alongside new gem/potion effects that go along with it.
    Not to the same degree as fishing of course, but still slightly farmable.

It also would be cool if you could bottle liquid starlight instead of just grabbing it from the walls of the starlight puddles.

bro it’s not like bottle are consumed when you bottle something you could just try infinitely

5

it literally says that it consumes a bottle for the cloud extract one. the dark sea essentia one is just a rare chance comparable to getting a sunken from fishing.

Toxic seawater as stonks for jewel reagents:

why would it consume a bottle where does the bottle go

not comparable at all you can just spam infinitely

it doesnt make any sense that a bottle would be used if you dont roll the chance for getting cloud extract. i think it would work better if there were like small clouds of extract you could bottle up and you gotta fly to them in your sky ship.

9

i mean you use up bottles so no not infinitely
agreed that the bottle disappearing when used on clouds is kinda dumb but theres alternatives. the suggestion still works for the dark sea tho

10

they disappear because your character is so frustrated over not getting a cloud extract that they throw it away :alien:

11

I don’t have any problem with this and it seems realistic

12

Its not that deep bro lol its a video game and making it consume a bottle isn’t some taboo game feature
