More crates for the merchants!

    I don't know if i'm the only one, but.

    Being a merchant more often than not feels a little boring as you can on voyages get a maximum of 4 crates to deliver at once.
    Those 4 crates make it feel like you're more of a delivery boy rather than a merchant. It'd be awesome if we could get bigger quests so we could have like... idk 8? 12? peices of cargo. I'd undestand if this also meant that each peice gave less, but the 4 peices honestly dosen't really feel worth it to either sail a long route and neither does it feel worth it to protect them and take care of it.

    Do you do the commodities also? That's where big money is. We normally pick up 4 or 5 loads before handing them in. Well worth it.

    @captdirtyoar Yeah i've done those, but I mean more like the executive voyage yk?
    Getting bottles of rum, plants, cloth etc. It just gives a differnt meaning to being a merchant, it just sucks that it can max be 4 crates.

    The ones you find in bottles have more crates to deliver.

    Yea this has been a problem since season 11.
    Before that you got at least 8 per voyage and even more from the emissary quests (i dont remember how much more but more).
    The Animals have the exact same problem also since season 11.

    Money is one thing, getting commendations done is another.
    Moneywhise merchants were never a good faction, but commendationwhise its agonising.

    I think the commendations are actually the easier thing to do, it just takes time which I don't mind. It's more that it dosen't feel like you're actually a Merchant when you can max have 4 at a time.

    Money is great with commodities yes, but it's not the main focus with this specific post :-D

    Youll see that its a problem when you get there.
    To complete deliveries you need to complete at least 300 quests, if you get the exact crates you need every time.
    Im glad im done with those, but i did them before season 11 and there it was already a pain.
    Im just trying to make that grind less repetitive, because noone deserves to do it that way.
