Since Merrick's side won in the fight for Golden Sands, I feel like simply restoring the outpost to its original state wouldn't exaclty be what most of the players who tried to save it have anticipated. So what if one of the smaller islands was turned into a hunter's call fortress, as a symbol of grattitude to Merrick.
It would be surrounded by skeleton-fort-like walls with watchtowers but not canons (since there are some already on the shore). The dock would be perfect for fishing, with Hunter's Call banners all over the place. In the middle would be a statue of Merrick, and the inside of the fort would include 2 kitchens with 4 stoves in each, a pond to catch pondies, some other cozy rooms. Inside palyers could purchase a new Hunter's Call quest - Crab Hunt.
The mission would include heading to an island and fighting a giant crab boss. 1st stage would include removing several parts of the crabs armour with a new item - grapple. Players would throw it and then pull (like with fishing) while dodging crab's attacks. 2nd stage would involve hitting the crabs different weak spots, depending on the parts of armour removed. The loot will be 5 gems, 5 pieces of crab meat and a crab's heart that could be sold for 10k. What do you think?
Hunters Call Fortress
redesign the wrecked galleon on old salts atoll to be the killer whale and turn it into a bait shop
add a giant tree in the middle of it with a beautiful tree fort with a cannon and an ammo box. 4 swings as well where a full crew can swing
add something to golden sands to tell people about where Merrick is resting and relaxing if they want to visit him.
imo

Logically, Flameheart will likely target Merrick after the foiling of the attack on Golden Sands. I imagine he might not want his location to be known for awhile.
YOUR SUPPLIES MUT BE DWINDLING NOW!
Merrick moves his sunglasses. Refills grog. Goes back to fishing 🎣
@guyrza personally I wouldn’t mind them making use of the “useless” side of golden sands. Personally I’d like a full shift in additional outpost functions.
For example; golden sands taking inspiration from the forts they were imprisoned in to build their own fort on that side of the island. This would be the first outpost to have a defence actively built into it. Since it’s on the east side it will make it likely to be useable. Even the fort we beat during the Veil quest looks like the structure itself could be very useable.
Since the hunters call played a hand in its restoration you can have multiple stalls and selling points. E.g. selling specific fish to specific stalls brings increased turn in and you can now buy cooked food (but this being the only place to do so and can’t be sold back). Hunters call specifically is due for an upgrade and reimplementing the meg summoning could be part of that as a “voyage” for hunters call.
Just some ideas but to rebuild golden sands and then improve it will be something I think the community would like to see. Some might not like my ideas but I think something new, fresh, and different can make a huge impact on the game.
