Alright. Notebooks.

If you’ve ever tried to get an enchanter deckhand, you know what I’m talking about. Notebooks are insanely rare, for a base game tool on par with a repair hammer. Why.

In order to get notebooks, basically you have to leave Arcane Odyssey and go play Sol’s RNG. There are three (terrible) ways to get notebooks currently in game.

  1. Random loot chests. This method is terrible for obvious reasons, mainly because there are hundreds of possible items you can get other than notebooks.
  2. Merchant ships: Basically, you get to play the lottery trying to find a randomly spawning merchant ship, and then hoping that the merchant sells notebooks. Which they almost never do.
  3. Marketplace: So, I know that technically I could just buy notebooks on the marketplace, right? Wrong. Notebooks on the marketplace are incredibly overpriced, going at around (last I checked) 6,000 Drachma per notebook. I don’t have the money for that.

So, what can we do to solve this?

The answer is simple.

Just make an already existing merchant sell them.

The most likely option for a merchant to sell notebooks would probably be the shipwright, although this is definitely not set in stone. Almost any of the existing merchants could sell these and make sense. (But please, please not dye merchants)

So anyways, that’s all I’ve got. Let me know if you think there’s a change I could make or if you have a different opinion in the comment section!

anybody with merchant deckhand on a roll rn

Yeah….

I just don’t feel like you should be forced to have a merchant deckhand (and still have to reroll it) to get a base game item that’s supposed to be common.

A merchant that sells camps, torches, lanterns, notebooks and other basic tools

Its so much of a perpetual fucking gamble to get them that I got it by the mere grace of my shipwright shitting out a pile of them.

a general store merchant, even

Honestly that would be so helpful

Yes, PLEASE.

Notebooks not being readily buyable implies there’s not enough of a demand for them. The War Seas are illiterate confirmed?

Oh no…

It’s spreading

the game needs a general store merchant which sells, yk, general stuff. tools, etc etc.

i will not pay 150k to get my enchanter deckhand to lvl up their profession.
