So, right now skulls, tridents, coral bottles are all this teal color and it makes it very confusing which is what at distance.
I propose that we change the treasure glint color to their more respective trade company.
Gold Hoarder - Yellow
Order of Souls - Purple
Merchant - Blue
Coral/SK - Teal
Reaper - Red
Something like that to better indicate what is what and limit confusion.

Purple for OoS? But they're green! Besides,purple would be better suited for Athena items, don't you think?
@galactic-geek Nope Green for Athena, that is its color. OoS is mostly related to purple color. Look at the cosmetics and the tent. Even the emissary flag is purple.
I also can't believe I forgot to include Athena lol

Fair point. Do you think they should swap the color palette of skulls and Athena items then (so skulls will have purple aura instead of green while Athena items would appear green instead of purple)?
@galactic-geek Absolutely less confusing because it associates their colors with their specific trade company and as a maybe added bonus I've only just thought of, clue some newer players in to which company it should be traded at.
Not to mention it just kind of look nice aesthetically and it let's me know what TC item it is, before I go jumping in the water thinking it is a coral bottle only to find out it is a foul skull.
Edit: If you mean the glow of the item, that's not what I'm talking about with my post, so sorry for that confusion. I am referring to the glint that happens when you view the item at distance to let you know it is there.
Skull glowing green in your hand, remains unaffected.
I don't know, sounds a little wild if there was 6 different glows. Also I'm against the game giving too much meta information overall.
But this latest patch made it confusing at least for me, I prefered the old colors. I believe it was yellow for everything you could sell, white for bottles and blue for quest items?
If all loot glinted different colors, it'd be too easy to know whether or not to drop anchor as you pass floating barrels/washed up loot as it relates to your emissary flag.
Realizing you've just passed a Captains Chest floating in the water after you've been hard scoping it for the last 5 seconds and you're just a hair away from hitting Grade 5 emissary...always give you a little mini rush as you anchor turn to snag it.
If all I had to do was pay attention to glint color from a good distance, that rush would be gone.
Maybe that's just me...meh.

Yeah, I wasn't referring to the glint in my last post. 😉

Yes, they should clean up some of these disorderly colours. I honestly think that the gems, regardless of their color, need to be a plain white.
@personalc0ffee if you ask rare purple is athena lol in order to get then athena commedation for wearing the outfit and full ship sets you have to wear the legendary stuff which is all purple lol
@hammerz73 said in Is it possible to change glint color for treasures?:
I won't decide the colours but we seem to be going down this colouring route so it would make sense to have some consistency, I keep getting tricked into thinking tridents are green gems.
Exactly my point, thank you.
Just for clarification the colors would not tell you the item type, only which TC company would want it.
But as it stands currently tridents, green gems, coral bottles, and skulls all share the same color and it is somewhat maddening and it is what brought me to this feedback idea.

So we can ignore them more effectively, right?

@personalc0ffee Absolutely 100% behind this. It's more than annoying when you think you're getting some loot and its a Shork Fork ™
It would be a nice little QoL addition

Honestly, gems could remain the same.
Just fix the blasted skulls being the same as the tridents and coral bottles.
IMO, more information given to the player, to let them make snap like decisions in a given moment is nothing but a good thing.
I'm not asking for the game to be like YO THAT'S A LEGEND CHEST. Just make items glow their emissary color.
Seems simple, no?
Nope. I always pick them up. You never know when you will get a free crate. We should be able to dismiss them though.

We should be able to do many things.
I've been asking for the ability to cancel bottle voyages and things in the wheel for quite a while now.
I already have all my crates done. I just pick them up now to annoy crew and for funsies lol.
@miserenz I don't care if we can dismiss them or not, I just want main quests to be on one radial, and then press a button to open sidequest radial.

Orange foe Ashen keys and other Ashen trinkets.
Here's my solution - make everything the same golden yellow color (because pirates ❤ gold). If you don't see golden yellow, but see white instead, it's a spyglass/EoR of someone looking at you. This way, you can differentiate loot from pirates, but will still have to choose whether the glint in the distance is worth investigating or not.
Also, when you spot a glint if something underwater, I hate how it disappears as you swim closer - makes smaller objects hard to find among all of the seagrass.

Only asking to change the glint colors, nothing else about the feature would change.
I'm just getting bamboozled into thinking foul bounty skulls are coral bottles because the glint is the same color. That or tridents, or green gems, or.

With the situation as it is, i have gained a real appreciation for what colour blindness must feel like. Everything is a green, green-blue, cyan mess.
You bring up an important point there I hadn't considered. Those colors are going to look different to someone who is color blind or hasn't properly calibrated their monitor.
But surely there must be some way to distinguish all these and get rid of this messy overlap.
