There should be ancient chests or something similar that give you ancient coins when sold.
An easier way to get ancient coins
@ottyman8687 said in An easier way to get ancient coins:
They need to do one of two things:
-
Make AC more readily available
-
Quit obsessing over paid content. Put some actual cosmetics behind commendations and stop updating the Emporium more than the actual game
How do you think they keep the lights on around here?
A lot of effort has been put into the game to create a system that allows them to bring in consistent money without having it create pay to win situations or a situation where the cosmetics have any significant impact on the environment at all.
A person that plays through gamepass or that was gifted the game and has no extra resources can experience the same environment as someone with a lot of resources for paid cosmetics.
Anyone can put on ship cosmetics for anyone else
There are costumes where it allows crews to wear something paid, for free.All of the updates are free, free content constantly, free rewards constantly. People without extra financial resources can thrive here just like anyone else. Everyone won't be able to afford some of the cosmetics but everyone gets to enjoy an environment where they are equals in piracy.
Imo that's a major contributor to the uniqueness of this game and is not something that should be taken for granted with a view of entitlement.

2 bad ideas from the same person in one day...
Different person. Same profile pic.
We are playing a live service game that is continually updated with constant support with NO membership, dlc, time limited payed battle pass, lootboxes...
Lets not push it here. They need to make money and ancient coins is how they do it.
That being said I would like the pirate emporium to have more emotes/pet/pet outfits and less clothes and ship parts instead make more of those unlockable in game.

There already are, they are on the back of the skellies you kill to earn AC ;-)
But i don't think there should be more ancient coin, how much i would like to earn more. Since the game has to be payed too.
What i do like to see change is that you can change your pirate for free at least once every 3 months or so.
@super87ghost To be fair they give you enough ancient coins in the free plunder pass to do that exactly lol.

Could be (i haven't counted them to be honest), but there are people who if they played for the first time just select a pirate real quick if there first play is with some friends and therefore didn't select a good one yet, or people who didn't see a good pirate at first and where tired of searching and didn't know they couldn't change it (freely) afterwards. So at least 1 free change to rectify that mistake i think could be nice. I am okay with my pirate, but i know someone who didn't like his, since he had to pick quickly and didn't know he could change it (freely) afterwards.
I hate seeing people complain about premium currencies and microtransactions, people don't understand that these things are essential because the revenue generated by the sale of items in the emporium supplies Rare with the funding needed to continue to update the game. Giving away ancient coins will affect the revenue being generated therefore updates will eventually stop coming in. Ancient skeletons already provide us with free ancient coins and that's more than enough.
The only microtransactions that I do not support is RNG based, such as loot crates etc. which grants you a random item and most of the time not the item you're wanting. It's really just gambling.
Okay hear me out. What of they made an ancient coin chest that had a chance of appearing in a fort of fortune. Once the fort is completed the cheat is marked on the map and also generates a beacon like the chests in did in Arena.
You wouldn't know it was in a FoF untill its completion and has the same chance of spawning as an ancient skeleton stopping alliance servers from grinding it. Could be a fun way to add incentive to FoFs?

Forts are already a common place where people get ancient skellies to spawn. There is already an incentive built in. Event loot + common spawn area.
