Skeleton Loot Drops (With Pictures)

    Super simple ideas that I think would improve skeletons, making combat with them feel a bit more rewarding.

    1. Killing a skeleton while they are eating a banana drops the banana on the ground, just like the ones you find on beaches.

    2. Skeletons have a chance of dropping a small gold pouch. Just like the bananas, you hold the grab button to pick up the pouch, depositing a small amount of gold to your player. This would primarily be for random spawn skeletons. Fort and quest skeletons would have a much lower drop chance.

    3. Boss skeletons have a chance of dropping a cursed cannonball. This would create a reason to kill the captains of skeleton ships.

    This could also be expanded for more loot types in future updates. Let me know what you guys think of this. Thanks for reading!

    i mean it makes sense. and it would make the skelies on islands that spawn randomly worth your time to kill. As for the cursed cannonball I can't really see it because either someone would abuse it, do not ask me how but someone somewhere will find a way, and that would break the game balance. But they should implement something to make those random skelies worth killing instead of just ignoring them.

    not necessarily gold, you can bags of pearls that can be exchanged for gold in one of the three guilds

    There would be a lot of people trying to abuse this.

    @qabic yeah, but this feature already exists in game somewhat with the banana and plank beach spawns, this would essentially just do that with skeletons. It would definitely need to be run through a good amount of testing. I haven’t been able to think of any exploits of it so far though.

    @furiouslyraging could try to farm skeletons ships. they do just respawn an infinite number of times, that is as far as i know. As well as Skull forts, while they do not respawn an infinite number of times there are quite a few waves with a quite a few skeletons, and forts already pay out more than 15k usually. So if they were to implement it they would have to make it were the skele forts and ship skeletons do not drop the gold or pearls as someone else mentioned.

    @thaundeadone yeah, I mentioned in the main post this would primarily effect random spawn skeletons, fort / quest skeletons would have a much lower chance of dropping the gold pouch.

    @furiouslyraging You're right sorry about that! So if that is covered i do not see how it could be exploited.
