I've completed 3 full Athena's Fortune Voyages and not a single Athena keg and only a few ancient items. Doing Thieves Haven runs are getting really boring and limit you only to one side of the map. I really like going all over the map to have more chances of encounters and exploring, but I would like to actually get some rewards that matches all the traveling and risk you take. Also, why are there no Shadows of Fate skeletons and why haven't other islands been added to the Athena runs?
Athena's Fortune Voyages give less rewards than Thieves Haven runs
Flag leveling should be boosted imo
it went from too easy to too time consuming
benefits the environment to get more level 5 athenas out there doing more emissary quests and circulating more loot
leveling athena post emissary has no standard of difficulty so that's not a good excuse. I hit 20 in a few days after it came out.
It's a session based game it should be treated more like a session based activity
Sure people can just sell at level 2 or 3 that's cool but the environment thrives with loot circulation.
The faction is the least fun, the least profitable, and has the least amount of loot circulating. Yes you can take out skelly ships for a boost and do island captains but it's still too slow for a session experience imo
making it more session realistic to more people increases all of those while still requiring effort
Athena’s Fortune is in a really terrible state unfortunately. There is nothing about it that sets it apart from the other trading companies apart from being a more grindy and unpleasant mix of the 3 main companies.
Very unfortunate that the Pirate Legend trading company doesn’t have something unique to offer in terms of gameplay. On top of that, they went and nerfed the Grade 5 voyage again and made playing as an Athena Emissary even more insufferable.
There is something very wrong when the actual Athena voyages sold by the Pirate Lord aren’t even a viable way to play as an Athena Emissary.
I do hope they revisit this aspect of the game soon.

Athena's fortune voyages have variety of voyages, all of the trading companies and Thieves Haven runs have less variety but more of Athena stuff in a small compact voyage.
I think they're supposed to be different.This ☝🏻

Seeing as you pay what 100 doubloons for a voyage vs gold. Yeah run will give you a bigger deal
It's 50 doubloons...but you're so right...a voyage for about 200 gold vs a voyage for 50 doubloons...sure it gives you less
Athena needs something new for sure. Thieves haven is very boring and reg Athena just are not very fun anymore. People should want to do Athena missions but nowdays you almost have to them solo. Really hope they come up with some new mission type or do something like Theives haven but on another island. If ya see a ship at Theives haven 1/2 the time you already know what they are up to.
Yeah but it has always been this way that the 'Thieves Heaven run' is much more profitable ( and cool ) than the original Athena voyage missions. At least we can recieve "lesser" Athena loot on the traditional missions now.
What bothers me not is that it plays just between 4 different islands in the same visibility range of each other until it is over.
Since 'Shores of Plenty' and 'Ancient Isles' are my two favourite areas in the game.Whats more annoying is, that you cannot truly hide from being discovered by experienced PvP'ers.
If one of them knows the mechanics in the game, the jig will be up pretty soon.
They are drooling over the little Athena-woodship they spot on the outposts table?
Soon they will look at two locations
° Thieves Heaven and
° The Devils RoarWhy those two? Since they are the most profitable kind of missions, just because the Ashen Legendary Chest is more than the original version as well.
Well - I would also like a "Smuggler's Bay run", or a "Shipwreck Bay run" ( even if it is in the Wilds °puke° ), or a specific mission for the Roar as well.
Just to have some variety and the fresh air that comes with it.
Maybe even include the uncharted Islands as exclusive digging-spots just for the last two dig-spots on a legendary voyage?This is what I want to see!
( And get this god damned empowered state for Skeletons out for fishs sake! They are JUST SKELETONS there is no reason they must be stronger just because it is an Athenas mission! )@horizonlegendo sagte in Athena's Fortune Voyages give less rewards than Thieves Haven runs:
I'm mainly working on trying to get Athena Kegs and Villainous Skulls which is so hard. I might only get one or two a run. It's going be a long time before I can get that ghost captain and wheel.
You get another keg, when doing the emissary voyage...I thought too, when this came into the game, kegs and villaunous skulls will take a bit...but it went faster than I thought...athena run-1 keg is always there, a chance to dig up another keg and even a chance to get an athena chest...emisary voyage, 1 keg you get always, with the chance again to dig up more...that's pretty good imo...
@schwammlgott Yeah, that's basically how I'm doing it. Making sure I have the Red and Green flame and killing all the skellys fast enough not to ruin the chance of blowing up my only keg.
Right now I'm level 15 with 31 villainous and 19 kegs so it's going to take a long while. Not trying to speed run it, but basically it's either Thieves Haven or trying to convince crew (more like beg) not to blow the kegs after a Fort of Fortune.

This! it takes so long to get emissary rep. Even if they made it so mermaid gems found while on the run add to the emissary. Most to the treasure dug up is gems, it would be nice if they counted AND if we could sell those to the stranger. Athena's should be fun. However as it is now, it is too much of a grind

It's pretty easy and fast done...in the early days, where just the athena chest existed, THAT WAS A GRIND!

Blowing up the kegs is the first thing I do there 😅
@schwammlgott I think my plan is to bring a rowboat just in case my crew doesn't want to take it. I'll row all the way to an outpost!

That's a good idea...if you're fast enough in stopping me from making BOOOM 😉
