Give Hunters Call "Merchant Contract"

    Firstly, the name would obviously change to Hunters Call Contract.

    Now onto the why. Hunters Call currently only really has fishing as consistent gameplay, and needs a voyage. Now, you could create an entirely new voyage, but these take time and effort, and there is a much simpler solution available.

    You see, no one does Merchant Contracts anymore outside of newer players, because everyone knows the other voyages are easier (less RNG) and better paying. Even early on you should do cargo runs instead.

    So, we have a voyage no one does for it's respective faction and a faction in need of a voyage. Give Hunters Call this voyage instead, and you hit 2 birds with 1 stone.

    It even works thematically, as you hunt for the animals and kegs, and it's called HUNTers Call. Kegs would also be useful to them for bigger hunts.

    Personally, I think this is a great idea, but I also think people will disagree with me and well, this is a discussion, so bring on the disagreements ;)

    Maybe not kegs but I do like your moving the merchant contract (collecting pigs, snakes and chickens to the hunters call)

    I think a cool addition to the hunters call would be a voyage/expedition set for fishing. Kind of reducing the RNG of what fishes spawn. The voyage would tell players of a “rumor” of seeing a type of fish at a certain location on the map. Could even go as far as adding a chance to fish up a note that would bring you to a location to find rarer fish.

    On top of that all factions have two quest types (other than merchant which has three: cargo, the lost/ sunken merchant ship and collecting animals) (also not including reapers)

    I think adding a voyage/ expedition on top of normalizing the amount of types of quests for each faction would normalize/balance play styles and make an underused function meaningful.

    In addition - much like gold horders when you get to level 25 being able to unlock vaults and each 10 levels increasing the contents of the vaults values - Getting to a level 25 would unlock the expedition/voyage

    I like the idea of even making the best voyage a quest to hunt the Meg - much like what it was like to spawn when the Meg was first introduced

    I've wanted the Animal Contracts moved over since the Faction came out. A lot of people don't like the idea, but I would be a huge fan. Would add a sense of consistency to the Factions.

    It's a great idea.
