What's been done with the Merchant Alliance and commodity crates is a great addition to the Emissary system. It would be great to see more "emissary required" quests specific to the other trading companies.
I saw more emissaries playing at the same time then I've seen since they launched and it made for a much more interesting session.
@xx-mirth-xx yeah, would be a nice addition to the other factions...but how would that look like? Buying something to sell it at another outpost again would be too lame imo...
@schwammlgott yeah I think the idea of buying items to sell at other outposts should be Merchant Alliance specific.
I just like the concept of only being able to do certain voyages if you are an emissary. If I had to come up with some, though...
Gold Hoarders: Hide and Map the Chest of Ancient Tributes. Since we've been taking the chest out of the vaults to stop the raids, now we are tasked with hiding the Chests. If we manage to follow the instructions and hide the chest, we can return with a marked map to turn in. BUT other pirates can steal these maps and dig up the chests or turn in the map.
Order of Souls: Recapture lost souls. Collect the Black Light Box from the trading company which is used to store found souls. You can also turn your own lamp black which will direct you to the location of the lost souls. You can turn in the Box at any point but the more full, the more reward.
Athenas Fortune: Find Athenas Mermaid Statues and collect their Purple gems. You can turn in the gems or collect 5(10?) to buy a map for the location of a Chest of Legends.
@xx-mirth-xx I like the OoS idea...
Goldhoarder idea also interesting...but I never was a fan of hiding, or bury treasure...
Especially your OoS idea would fit into the concept, as you can/have to do it, while doing some other voyage to get the rank up...really like that one...
So you would get that box and every skellie captain/lord/skellie ship you defeat fills the box with extra souls...maybe the box has to be in a certain range of the killed skellie to get the souls...something like this...
I'm not a big fan of burying treasure either, but it's a huge part of the pirate theme that SoT hasn't allowed players to get involved with. Especially if you could get creative with it.
You get more money:
the farther away from the outpost
the larger the island
the closer to monuments/painted rocks
For the OoS, I'd imagine the souls would kind of float there and you'd have to pick them up with the Box. A similar mechanic to reloading ammo
