Hunter Call Voyages

  • Let's give the neglected Hunter Call some love, right? why not voyages for them too?

    - Fishing Voyage (easy) - 1 region specific fish voyage (Plentifin, Wildsplash, etc)
    - Fishing Voyage (medium) - 2 region specific fish, or region specific fish and islehopper/pondies
    - Fishing Voyage (hard) - Battlegills or Stormfish, fish that require risk to your ship and planning
    - Ashen Fishing Voyage - Devilfish!

    And in the manner of Lost Shipment voyages or Vault voyages, why not:

    - Megalodon Hunt Voyage (once per day purchase?) - Merrick has heard a rumor of a fearsome beast. Follow a trail of clues (like Lost Shipment) to the beast's hiding spot and fight it! Megalodon species would be random (and yes, it would include the Shrouded Ghost. it's already so bloody rare, it's not like this is going to increase the chances of getting it, and part of the fun of meg hunting is that tantalizing possibility you could get the jackpot)

    If one meg is too easy, the Megalodon Hunt could be two megs for the added difficulty

    For the Megalodon hunt idea, it'd just be nice to have a way of reliably getting even just 1 meg a day. I farm megs consistently, swinging out to open ocean every hour i'm playing, but due to the RNG nature of Megalodon spawns i can spend an hour, to two hours, in open ocean without one spawning. Other times i can get one within a half hour of entering open ocean after playing for an hour.

    They're so random, when pretty much everything else in game you can fight on demand. Even just one guaranteed meg a day would be nice for the people working on their commendations/milestones, or just like fighting them

    oh, and also:

    New storage box: Tackle Box - Fish and bait only. Maybe has some bait already in it when you buy it

  • I dig it, though I do have one question; you mention Shrouded Ghost would be a possibility in the Meg fights; Would you know what kind of Meg when picking up the voyage? Personally, I think players shouldn't- Keeps the feeling of randomness to it.

    Also, would just like to add:
    What about a Chum box item? Put in fish and meat to fill it with chum, use a bucket to scoop some out, and use it to hunt Sharks

    IMO no, the meg would be completely random and you'd only find out once you track it down and it spawns, with the same rarities you get now. So you are much more likely to find blues and purples on your summon voyage, maybe a shadow, and rarely a ancient terror, and probably never a shrouded

  • @jynn-n-tonic aye, in that case, full support
