If you just do siren islands and siren islands only then you should be fine in i2 cause the sirens just get higher in quantity rather than strength. There’s only an increase of one chest compared to the ones in i1 so up to you if its worth it, but if you’re hitting up multiple islands in one run its exponentially more chests than what’d you get in i1.

But I would understand if you just really don’t want to deal with insanity 2 cause even if its not unplayable that shit sucks ass

Yeaaahhh- Maybe when im level 200 ill try I2. But already, it takes my clunky chunky ship like 30 minutes to reach the place.

I feel like these mountain islands all put the epicenter to shame. When I arrived I was like… “This is it?”… But then again, epicenter be incomplete, so I dont blame it. But its funny how there are multiple epicenter sized land masses!

Also, the existance of these islands feel weird! Like, theyre just a part of a continent that was split into millions of pieces- I dunno why theyre so tall. I would prefer more wider terrain over spires.

They were cool the first few times I found them, back when I was still exploring the dark sea, but even then they were cooler to see ominously looming from a distance than explore them.

When trying to farm DS sealeds, it’s just frustrating since they’re a waste of a potentially lootable island. Looking at both aspects, it feels like they were only added for the sense of variety and to look cool without considering players interacting with the island.

Ah yeah thats a pain, you do need a decently quick ship to keep away from atlanteans

Invest in speed deckhands and a swift silver frame thingy since you probably can’t get a brisk one yet
I wouldn’t use anything warship for dark sea tho

Lawl, I get ya… I dont want to redo my entire ship build, atm mine works but I AM taking notes here…

True I think there neat vetex should add something more valuable or unique at the top of these thoe

free chests are free chests
and they aren’t that bad with a 230+ agility build, so I usually do stop at them

Neutral about them.

Are they annoying?
Yes.

But they help with game diversity and once in a while it’s ok.

My first ds island was a skyscraper type.
I climbed for ten minutes and then it despawned under my feets.
Nice times.

They don’t currently feel rewarding enough, the last skyscraper island I climbed had literally nothing on top. Even if they did increase the loot reward bonus for tall structures, it wouldn’t outrank siren islands because you can only carry 2 sealed chests at a time.

make every skyscraper island have a field of acrimonies on the top but make climbing them like Get Over It frfr

I got lost in one of these islands for almost an hour. It was twice as big as Ravenna and 10 times as tall.

I think the 2 sealies atop the highest cliff is a good start- But maybe their needs to be more…

vetex should add diamond tier chests- higher than golden and are teal colored

i still look around the lowest points for sealed chests but i dont clim up every single peak looking for a chest. simply put, i look for chests but i don’t commit to the search as hard

if you have to fight the siren, try ambushing them one by one by using self explosion ( or similar stuffs ), it make things a lot easier

I think those islands will be somewhat useful when Dark Sky comes out.
Until then, I’m never climbing one again, not after this time when we got nothing

i hate it when there are more than 2 dark sealed up there
because when im in the water, i can just drop the sealed chests and they’ll float to the top
except i cant drop them off ledges
