With the introduction of fleets and the exploration task, doing treasure charts is basically useless outside of mythic/lost ones or just getting exp to get mythic/lost charts
Before full release, getting a legendary chart was like a big hype moment but now they’re so common that they aren’t even worth the effort to do anymore.
To amend that, and also bring some new life to the feature, I suggest there be new sealed containers you can get from charts besides sealed chests.
First, maybe a collection of random artifacts that can be sold for fairly decent amounts of drachma to shipwrights that can increase in rarity with higher tiered charts, starting at uncommon you could find various golden trinkets that can sell for around 500-1000 drachma, rare ones they could maybe have diamonds embedded into them and sell for around 2500 drachma, mystic could maybe have a few cool references to previous games like maybe a bag of lamina or aurem that can sell for 10k
Legendaries and above should start having way more important things, like maybe rare or rarely lost spell scrolls sealed in containers, which will also help alleviate that side of the market by making them less rare, or huge sealed chests which can only be carried 1 at a time and have a ton more loot (can just be the sealed chest model but larger lol)
These rewards should likely be rarer the earlier you are in the chart, like some legendary pirate isnt going to put his annihilation scroll at the very first spot in his lost chart, but you may get some of the other rewards as you progress further in the chart (like if you have a legendary and you’re at the third spot, it could have rare-tier rewards)
There are a ton of different trinkets or various rewards you can add to charting, this is just a general idea about how the system could work and what could be added
the same thing could also be done for the dark sea (literally was just made going to the dark sea for sealed chest irrelevant. prob i2+ would get better sealeds)
On the topic of trinkets.
I feel like everyone has mostly forgotten that deckhand artifacts exist!
This would be a perfect way to add more.
Right now all the artifacts we have are literally just pieces of junk.
A frayed lead line for god’s sake. A singular golden coin is the highest quality one we have.
There is clearly intent for progression here, lets take it.
Eh.. it’d break the consistency with how Sealed Chests are designed.
Each sea have their own Sealed chest, e.g. Bronze Sea has Bronze Sealed Chest, Nimbus Sea has Nimbus Sealed Chest, and Dark Sea has Dark Sealed chest.
If they should introduce tiers (which would be very annoying, as it takes so long to sail in the Dark Sea.), they would need to keep the base design, but perhaps use the rarity system on top of the Sealed Chest system, as Dark Sealed Chests at the current moment are shown as red-bordered (mystic) in the inventory, perhaps make earlier ranges have Rare, then later it’s Mystic, then way later it’s Legendary.
It doesn’t have to “break how they function” just have them be able to spawn anywhere a normal sealed chest would just with lower odds. Certain POIs or actions could guarantee them, if desired.
This could help alleviate the issue where they’re just so useless to experienced players so they end up being treated like litter (it is mad funny that a new player can just come across this and get rich though)
only a few days before tape was put over my mouth and i was doing a chart over at elm island while someone was doing the fishing quest, i basically just told them to take my sealds cause i didn’t want em
On my main character, Bronze sealed chests are utterly useless (Nimbus Sealed Chests are still minimally useful, as I require silver cannons), I ran an entire mythical quest chart and gave all of the sealed chests to a level 50.
They are so unrewarding after a while that not even farming them for Drachma is worth it, as the fleet gives tenfolds more at a way faster rate.
also the fact that now your fleets can outright just hand you sealed dark sea chests as well, ontop of sealed chests exclusive to charts, there should also be more dark sea special sealed as no one really goes for those anymore when you can just stand by your fleet master guy and do 1 repair/resuply every 20 minutes
the only things in the dark sea ppl would still go for is like, items specific to enemies that can’t be gotten from those chests, or Athena’s wisdom (hope the dragon islands have an increased chance to dropping the wisdom pages)
