Hello, I don't often post on the main forums, but will occasionally when I actually think of something good.
I'm here to propose an update to everyone's favourite Shark hunter and slowest levelling faction; The Hunters Call.
2 new voyage types;
Voyage type 1 is pretty straightforward - Locate and find a specific type and amount of fish or meat within a certain area of the map
Voyage type 2 is where it gets interesting -
Merrick, or one of his extended family members has seen great wrecks of ships, all galleons, with large bitemarks taken out the sides.
Set out and track down a beast using a trail of recent NPC sightings, and ship remains/floating wood, to find a GIGANTIC Megalodon, easily twice, nearly 3 times the size of a normal one, all covered in battle scars and broken off harpoons.
Phase 1; The beast has 3 moves
a Tail slap which spins the ship a solid 180* and deals great damage. Rarest of phase 1 attacks.
a simple/regular Bite, which is just taken from normal meg design
and a "Fast swimming" manoeuvre, which creates a whirlpool (which I have seen are in high demand recently) which spins the ship, sucking it down towards the bottom, where when it stops, lets your ship float back up to sea level.
After dealing enough damage, it flees to another location, where you must track it down once more with a trail of blood, or similar
Phase 2; Consisting of the 3 previous attacks, the second phase is much harder, raising it's attacking speed considerably while introducing a new attack;
The Meg swims far, deep down, into the depths of which players couldn't see where bubbles start to form and pop beside the players ship. The water around grows dark and the beast launches upwards underneath the players ship, headbutting it into the air and dealing high damage, but not to the point of no recovery should the crew fall off.
Rewards~
Chest of the Deep - Raises chance of being attacked by sharks while swimming with it, and raises chance of spawning a normal megalodon (not Shrouded Ghost in order to keep its rarity safe and sound)
90% of any other chests will have barnacles on them to show they've been under the water for a decent amount of time, similar to shipwrecked chests.
Raised % chance of getting a Chest of Sorrows from the fight
Plenty of skulls, and some wood crates to replenish resources after the fight.
Now for the Emissary
Successfully completing mission type 2 grants 1 full level of emissary grade at level 1
Emissary Grade can be raised by killing megs, krakens, perfectly cooking fish or meat, and pulling any fish, or treasure, out of the water.
Grade 5 rewards: Greater chances for rarer fish - Faster cooking times for Meg and Kraken meat, or trophy fish - Extends time between perfectly cooked and burnt - Faster fishing times/Weaker fish
Thanks for your time if you did actually sit and read through all of this :)
