Hunter Call Update

  • Hello, everyone. Ahoy. So my idea is to add several updates/changes to Hunter Call.
    But, first, I want to say that I am happy that in Season 9 now I can catch a fish at the outpost and sell it there, it makes fishing easier and more flexible. Also, I am excited that now Kraken, Megalodon and other events now will happen more often and, maybe, in same time, like fighting Meg while Ashen Winds Active, etc.
    Now, let's start. My first idea is to add few more varieties of fish into the game.
    Namely:

    • Veilhopper ( Sturgeon, but with white glowing eyes). You can find them near Portals for Pirates of Caribbean Tall Tales, also you can catch them during Pirate Life Tall Tale and Captain's of The Damned. Requires Grubs as bait to catch if you fishing around portal. However if you are fishing during Tall Tale, it requires no bait to catch.
    • Everlaster/Shriner ( Lionfish, but glowing. If you eat this fish without cooking it, you will take damage equal to 15 % of your hp). You can find them around Siren Shrines and Treasuries, as well as around area of Sunken Black Pearl Tall Tale. Requires Earthworms as Bait to catch.
    • Fish of Eternal Sorrow (Sunfish, but with black teary eyes, like Order of Souls Curse). You can Catch this fish only around Siren Fortress ( Dark Bretheren Tall Tale). Requires Leeches as Bait to catch.
    • Goldflick (Goldfinch, but with gold curse). You can catch this fish only on the Shores of Gold. Requires no Bait to catch.
      Here is approximately the price for each fish:
    • Veilhopper - Raw (Regular: 250/325/400/4,000, Trophy: 590/775/950/9,000) - Undercooked (Regular: 330/430/530/5,030, Trophy: 790/1,040/1,299/10,056) - Cooked (Regular: 370/470/580/5,508, Trophy: 870/1,155/1,440/11,270) - Burnt (Regular: 70/80/650, Trophy: 150/210/1,310).
    • Everlaster/Shriner - Raw (Regular: Regular: 400/475/550/3,775, Trophy: 865/1,150/1,340/9,400/965) - Undercooked ( Regular: 530/635/735/4,990, Trophy: 1,195/1,495/1,750/11,900) - Cooked (Regular: 590/700/815/5,700/725, Trophy: 1,535/1,815/2,025/18,090/1,715) - Burnt (Regular: 100/725, Trophy: 250/1,110).
    • Fish of Eternal Sorrow - Raw (Regular: 475/4,325, Trophy: 1,150/10,000) - Undercooked ( Regular: 635/4,575, Trophy: 1545/13,325) - Cooked (Regular: 700/ 4,995, Trophy: 1,715/15,025) - Burnt ( Regular: 125/500, Trophy: 250/1,000).
    • Goldflick - Raw ( Regular: 600/4,700, Trophy: 1,525/11,550) - Undercooked ( Regular: 820/6,325, Trophy: 2,050/15,590) - Cooked ( Regular: 885/6,950, Trophy: 2,195/17,125) - Burnt ( Regular : 225/2,050, Trophy: 450/2,550).
      The / between the prices is not or, it is prices for different variants of fish or group of variants for fish.
      Second idea is to add emissary flag for Hunter Call. Which will increase it's Value (Tier) by simply fishing, hunting and completing voyages.
      Third idea is to add voyages for Hunter Call. Here is few types of it:
    • Hunter Call Contract. It works as Merchant Alliance Contract. You will need to catch the given type of fish or bring given type of meat in given amount for the given time. Compared to Merchant Alliance you will have twice more time for completing such voyage.
    • Hunter Call. You will be given a contract on hunting Megalodon and/or Kraken. You will be given approximate coordinates or Island, around or next to which you will find your target. There is no time limit for such voyage.
    • Merrick's Secret Quest. Very rare voyage (chances to find such will be equal to 0,001%), which will give you opportunity to hunt down Shrouded Ghost. It is very time limited voyage, compared to Merchant Alliance contracts time is twice less (halfed). You will need to go to approximate coordinates and fight Shrouded Ghost. Be warned, it will be twice dangerous from standard encounter, but will bring twice rewards for completing it and it grands achievement (Hunter of The Shrouded Ghost).
      Forth, is to add World Event, Ancient Karken World Event. Description of such event you will find in my another post. It called Ancient Kraken Wotld Event.
      Last but not least, cosmetics. Add the emissary costume with two peglegs and special cosmetics for Hunter call, such as:
    • Pegleg for two legs, double peglegs
    • Blindfold (eyepatch for two eyes)
    • Hungering tattoo set
    • Shark Bitemark Scars
    • Big Jaws Speaking Trumpet
    • Drum of the deep
    • Hungering one figurehead, Sails, Hull, Captain, Anchor, Cannons, Flag ( Emissary Value Rewards)
    • Hunter Call Hairstyles, Beards, etc.
      That's it, if you have any comments, concerns, changes you want to add or remove, leave a comment below. Otherwise, have a nice day or night and I will see you on the seas.

  • Ahoy. Just want to specify, Ancient Karken Event.

  • As a fellow fisherman I'm always for Hunters call updates so I love what you've suggested. I've been asking for "hunting" quests for megs and kraken alike as well as if it could be expanded to other giant mythical fish creatures as well. The Fishing quests are neat too. I think that potentially there may even be room for a "fishing boat" addition to such an update to help optimize fishing in some way. In addition to all that I think they could revamp the fishing mechanics to make it more engaging with those who don't fish and not make it feel like a chore. I don't mind it as a fisherman it's kinda chill and I could just hang out with a buddy and do it, but not everyone appreciates that so I think some QOL to the mechanics are needed.

    There are plenty of ideas to get people involved into fishing and many have been talked about on this forum so I hope Rare takes any of them seriously.

  • @n0soup4u I like your ideas. Thank you. Thank you for your support.
