Quest of Five Thousand Grogs

  • My friend had just got the game, so we were doing some of his one island, one chest Gold Hoarder missions. On our way to one of the islands, a skelly ship spawned on us. One cannon shot blew up the two kegs on board, sinking them near instantly. When the loot floated up, we happened to see two of everything! Two storage crates, two Tridents, and most importantly two Chests of a Thousand Grogs. We happily scooped up the loot and were on our way.
    When we got to the island, we killed a captain before we dug. He had a map for three chests on that very island. I dig them up, as well as the castaway chest, and get a Chest of Rage, a generous gift, and another Chest of a Thousand Grogs!
    We put down another of his voyages, make it to the island, and the story is very similar to last time, except instead of a Chest of Rage we get two more Chests of a Thousand Grogs! It was getting a bit ridiculous at this point, but we didn’t find anymore cursed chests that session. Each one sold for 6-8,000, making us a tidy profit.
    TL:DR: Captain’s orders need rebalancing.

    you had a good rng run during a profitable time to have a good rng run

    it happens from time to time. There are long stretches of desert in between
