Permanent Merrick Recipe Voyage

@sgt-dartez

I 1000% agree with this. These voyages have given us something new to do, as well as getting people fishing again! The payouts can be balanced, but these voyages should absolutely become permanent!

I agree!

The Merrick Voyages have been a BLAST! I agree. They should be the emissary quest for Hunter's Call. The Merrick voyages are full of challenges. It's more than just fishing and cooking. It's a strategy, lots involved. Imagine you pick up your quest in the Shores, and on it, you have to prepare Lava fish from the Roar, for the main course. Pondies are often a part of the menu, but do you know where to find them if you're stuck fishing in the Roar? You have to do a lot of plotting, not to mention know the locations of the fish you need, how to catch them, and then how to prepare them to turn in. For me, the challenges were worth it. We didn't mind sailing across the map and finding where my partner and I could get all the fish we needed, and quickly. Level 5 Hunters Call seems to be a favorite for Reapers. The Hilarious part is that Hunter's Call seems to be full of retired Reapers. The Reaper kids find this out quickly. LOL

I hope that Rare listens and keeps this as the Emmisary Quest. These quests are too much fun. Please don't take them away completely when the Fishing Festival is over.

Another thing, too: Merrick Recipe Quests is helping pirates to get fishing levels up on fish they haven't caught yet. This Quest is a total win all around!

@crystaleigha Nice! I've got 120 days and 17 hours of play time under my belt. 120 days, 17 hours, and 3 minutes to be exact!

I agree as well! I never really did hunters call before and I've had this game since release but the merrick menu voyages have made me get into it way more. Definitely worth keeping to keep those interested in fishing.

I sincerely hope that these become permanent. As someone who was around when fishing was first released into the game I have always loved fishing but couldn’t do it consistently because it is time consuming with no reward. The treasure fish voyages are a great way to make fishing in the game actually profitable but it didn’t do anything to help the normal fishing come back. Without the recipe quests being added with some generous payout or some cosmetics besides the legendary hunter title being added as rewards for how much of a grind normal fishing is it will continue to be a ignored feature in the game. Also, for how rare treacherous plunder is suppose to be the fact that you get no rewards and like no gold for it is practically criminal, please give us doubloons for them instead of like 100 gold. I absolutely love all the new hunters call stuff but let’s also readjust and fix the old features and items in the game so that it can truly be a well balanced faction with multiple ways to gain gold and reputation!

This would also help players slowly work towards catching all the fish they need for the commendations while also providing an incentive to do so other than the title.

If this new voyage is like the Fishing Event we had that was basically the Fishing voyages we have now....
It be awhile before they add them. :/

This is one of the best voyages I've ever seen in Sea of Thieves. This is how fishing voyage should be done.

@hgielyak9232 "A young pirate who just wants to fish.." TRUE MERRICK NATURE Right here! I feel this! Even though I'm not a young pirate anymore. Some days, yes, I wanna do insane pirate stuff. Some days, I just wanna go and chill and fish. So far, I've 100% My splashtails, stormfish, and pondies. Getting close to the others. These Recipe voyages really helped up my numbers in the Wildspash, Pleantifin, and Ancientscale departments. Got to work on Devilfish too, which is always so much fun to go to the Roar and fish.

Happy Hunting! Remember, just starting out, Safer Seas is a good thing. Just to get your feet wet. I started playing the game back when the Roar was first introduced and Flameheart's head was in the sky. (Wild Times) I stopped for several years, and this past year my husband and I started back at the end of Season 12. I had to relearn a lot, but was able to make Pirate Legend and now Distinction Levels in all factions but one. (I'll get Reaper caught up next season). Good luck, happy fishing and Yar!

I also agree! These quests should be a permenant fixture within the game! If the payout stays similar then maybe make them an emissary quest once Lvl 5 HC has been reached. Really enjoyed these! Job well done Rare
