  • @mcgarnaglewolf commendations for these
    Ghost like ship - complete fotd 25 times
    Red water- complete tall tales 10 times
    Black water- defeat kraken 25 times
    Fiery sales(just thought it was cool)- sink 50 skeleton galleons

  • @mcgarnaglewolf

    Those commendations might even be a bit low for some. Here're some of my ideas:
    Ghost curse: A ghostly ship, with parts broken off and floating similarly to the Ferry of the Damned, but not to the same extent. The ship causes a thin layer of fog just over the surface of the water, though not enough to impede vision in any way, as well as having a wider glow on the lanterns. Unlocked at the highest level of Athena's Fortune, whatever that may be by the time of implementation.
    Bone Crusher curse: A battle-torn ship, with many original parts broken and replaced with scraps of wood, similarly to the skeleton ships, but again, not to the same extent. The towers, platforms and major additions would not be given, and the masts and bowsprit would remain intact. Unlocked by sinking 250 skeleton ships of any type (legendary status not required).
    Kraken curse: A constant darkening in the water around the ship, along with stains of ink and damage from battle with many a kraken. The water has no change in view distance into, out of, or through it. Unlocked by defeating 25 krakens and/or selling 50 pieces of cooked kraken meat.
    Curse of the Reaper: A reddish stain in the water around the ship, along with several swords and daggers embedded in various spots around the ship. Bullet holes visible in many areas, as well as dents from cannon impacts on the hull. Unlocked by selling 25 reaper's chests and completing 50 voyages with the Reaper's Mark active.
    Curse of the Wailing Barnicle: Sea life, such as starfish and barnacles, on most surfaces, along with water damage. A notable increase in visible fish swimming around the ship. Unlocked by selling 100 mermaid gems.
    Forsaken Ashes curse: Burn and impact marks visible on many parts of the ship, along with heavily singed sails. Unlocked by completing 250 ashen voyages.

  • @ultmateragnarok amazing ideas and these r much better and would be cosmetic, I could see rare adding this in

  • @ultmateragnarok love your ideas

    love your ideas as well

  • @closinghare208 thank you it would be sick if u are approaching a ship and the water turns red or black that would be sick

    true

  • @mcgarnaglewolf I would love curse cosmetics for the ship. :3

  • @sweltering-nick I mean I’m hopeful that it will be added if we have player cosmetic curses

  • I really love these ideas. I could imagine these being difficult to implement, but its something I hope the devs would consider trying to implement. Adds more diversity to ships on the seas.

    I would love to see the ability for us to name our ships (all ship types). Have a small plaque somewhere in the ship where we could name them when picking out or ship cosmetics for that session.

  • Ppl that would be an amazing Addition for Pirate Legends only with the Ship Captaincy update! Awesome!

  • @king-deka maybe not pl only but for completing commendations but u could have some for pl exclusively like one for the ghost ship set

  • the special cannon balls curse ships but they are only temporary. but it would be cool if there was a way to give ships perma curses at least untill it sinks.

  • @d4m0r3d the curses would be earned through commendations like player curses

  • @d4m0r3d and would be cosmetic only

  • @mcgarnaglewolf yea i know what you are saying, i was merely suggesting another idea with cursed ships, that i thought would be cool

  • Hull lights. Need for Seas? Have various colours glowing from beneath the ships! (Purple please) Maybe an emporium item or black market item if not a commendation. I like the idea!

  • Cool idea, but my concern is that there would be very few normal ships left on the seas lol. There'd need to be a way to really limit how many people have the curses, since it's not really the same as a pirate curse. Imagine if you're on a galleon and one happens to have a ship curse, all you'd need is one person to add it so for every 4 people youd only need 1 person to have the curse.

    How about needing every crew member to have the curse for it to apply? 2 for a sloop curse, 3 for a brig curse, 4 for a galleon curse. It'd make more sense since a cursed ship means a cursed crew ;)

  • @captn-reaver the curse is a ship cosmetic

  • @captn-reaver but i see what u mean

  • @mcgarnaglewolf I know its a cosmetic, but having every ship on the seas be cursed would be kinda odd.

  • @captn-reaver true but the commendations to get them would be really grindy and hard to do

  • Love your idea.

    You could expand further allowing boosts to the ship with cursed cannonballs. Cooking the cursed cannonballs in the pot releases the curse on it etc. Give your ship a temporary boost in speed with new curses.

  • @daringclarky

    I had the idea of taking a cursed cannonball and throwing it at the deck, which would activate the curse on the ship. On an enemy galleon and want it to sink faster? Throw a ballastball. Been caught with your anchor down and another ship is approaching fast? Use an anchorball. Don't want to deal with the chaotic steering the storm is giving you? Pop a helmball.
    I also like the idea of shooting two cursed cannonballs at each other, causing a larger explosion of both curses which affects everything around it. Of course, you can also just fire them both straight up as a firework or beacon.

  • @ultmateragnarok I like it.

    In a cool way, having cursed cannonballs makes you kind of a pirate gandalf.

    I reakon there would be a limit to the amount one can hold, but i could see this happening and it would be pretty cool.

    To celebrate they should bring some new curses too, some as a novelty, some powerful and some with a very niche use.

    It will make encounters unique for sure.

  • @daringclarky

    There are a great many concepts for cursed cannonballs out there, including new colors and uses. They have a lot to be inspired by. As for limits, you can only hold 10 on your pirate (used to be 10 of each type, but they changed that quickly). Barrels seem to have no limit to cursed cannonball capacity.
