Fort of Fortune Spawn Rate Season 18.

Did I misread the patch notes? It said the chest of fortune this season is in normal old boring skeleton forts with the bad loot? I think because molten sands fort is a normal old boring fort but the loots getting boosted so when it activates next month then the chest can spawn in there too? I don't know... I am confused. Cause if they are spawning in normal old dull forts I certainly wont be touching them. All I need is Athena and Hunters call loot then the CoF sells but last season got me caught up so I can afford to get behind again and hopefully the madness of adding more ranks will end soon.

@sollimino I went and read it before making my post and it 100% said emergent skeleton forts. So I guess a mistake which has now been corrected.

@burnbacon Agreed on the frequency bit but it just adds to the argument that with the sheer number of chests of fortunes a newer player would need to catch up the other commendations don't fall in line with how many times to complete vs turning in chests of fortune. For example do 50 Fort of the Damned. Well that's not even 2 full tiers for the commendation. No one should be expected to do 300 Fort of Fortunes. I am very glad I held out on farming those chests until last season. Being able to get the commendation done so efficiently was amazing, though at the same time doing that many of the new forts god old fairly fast. Especially with the skeleton ship spawn rate near Keel Haul fort had me never doing that one. It was actually kind of nice in the roar last season as it seemed there weren't any roaming ships at all. Now we have a trade route in the roar to harass us while trying to do this new content. As if dealing with volcanoes wasn't enough. Though the islands do seem a bit more relaxed. But making the CoF available from all world events would mean no matter what content you wanted to do you would be able to progress.

I've only played for about an hour though and questioning this new ancient meg like emergent event but without the ability to see where it has spawned. I checked 3 large islands in the roar and saw nothing. With no emissary and no way to track these and knowing they can literally be on any large island in the game... Do they despawn? Are the islands fixed when the server is created so it will only bounce between 3 or 4 potential locations? Or is it purely random? Stuff only the Developers know and we will have to observe for ourselves. Skeleton ships seem to be random now too between being smuggler or normal. Both aren't worth the time but at least smuggler ones can be sunk fast with the kegs. Normal ones how ever are a snooze fest. And neither has loot worth collecting outside of the supply crates. Which by the way why haven't we updated what can spawn in supply crates? These crates stock me up in my sessions so I rarely check barrels any more and the shipwright throwable pack doesn't include bone callers so getting cursed balls and bone callers is extremely rare. Didn't they say they had a whole team dedicated to Quality of Life improvements? We haven't seen any work from that team yet?
