Currently I'm level 25-30. My voyages aren't getting any different, they're just like level 1 but longer, and give the same loot. Will they ever get more varied at the higher levels?

    So I'm around 25-30 in Gold Hoarder and Order of Souls, and the voyages I'm getting are basically the same as the level 1 ones, but just longer- 3 maps instead of 1 for example. Occasionally a riddle is thrown in there too. The loot is exactly the same as well. I'm still getting Castaway chests for completing 4-step riddles... the chest odds feel completely the same.

    I was under the assumption we would get unique missions once we got to a higher reputation rank, with better loot. I'm not a big fan of doing the skull forts over and over to earn gold and reputation, but the voyages that we're given make the progress to pirate legend ridiculously slow. I go on a 15 minute voyage to earn a chest worth 100 gold, and it makes my reputation bar up a millimeter.

    Anyone who's above the 35-40 mark, are your voyages for any of the 3 'factions' much different?

    Thanks.

    edit: yes, I have been buying the voyage upgrades whenever I hit the next tier

    We just got 1 seafarer chest on a lvl 30 goldhoarder mission. yay

  • JDWolfe

    The game doesn’t have content or variation. I love playing but man 4 years to make this game?

    the loot is killing my soul if i have to do 4 maps of skeletons and there all basic skulls at level 30 souls trader. this is why players are server hopping to do the skull forts. the voyages need a buff the higher the level the better the loot it makes sense to be rewarded for grinding it out. and it also makes pvp more interesting, i dont want to battle 2 sloops and 1 galleon just to pick up castaway and seafarers chests.

    @horniak
    damn....
    this game......

    xD well, ours kept going, and we are now on chapter 4,

    @nemesis464 i am lvl 31 gold hoarder. The treasure isn't always the best but there are more better chests. There are 1-2 captain chests, 1-2 marauders chest every voyage. In lower levels there were more castaway and seafarers chest than expensive ones.

    Will they get different?

    Short Answer: no.

  • Izziz 1337

    @face-0-o
    yeah, guess that's the conclusion. still boring fetch and sell.....

  • Rager82

    Yup game won't last 3 months at this rate lol.

  • Coloridium

    Wish I never bought the promotions, then I could at least complete the missions faster (lv 30 gold hoarders atm)... And in case you are curious, just did a fort and cashed it in for 12k gold, gold hoarders barely went up a quarter of the level. I don't even want to imagine how much it would take to get to 50...

    Also I'm thinking the "unique" aspect is in the fact that no 2 x-marks-the-spot maps are the same or something, which doesn't really give any actual variety. I'd also like to know if anything changes after lv 35-40, but I'm not betting on it.

    We spend an hour doing three level 25 voyages that each gave us a seafarers chests.
    I don't understand why ... that must be a coding error. It's no wonder everyone is doing fortress runs when you can make 15 times the gold guaranteed in the same time frame.

    The spawn rate of good chests should be noticeable higher the higher your level gets.

    Could not agree more, but also sees problems with that,

    3 months? Try 3 weeks for most.

    Allready had friends that quit this game at level 20.... not really gonna last 3 weeks for most im afraid,

    they have a really good base for a GREAT GOTY potential.... but dont really grabs the last 30% they need to to actually make this game something that people play for longer.

    Maybe to counter boosting, the loot could be less for a lower level player. Not the same as if they did it alone, but a lower payout based on their "expertise" being lower.

    I’m a Level 36 Gold hoarder, the Voyages at level 20 turned into chapters, and the final chapter of each voyage I’ve always cane out with atleast 2 Captains Chests, Or a Cursed chest. When heading back to the outpost, I’ll have about 12 to 15 chests onboard, a few skulls, a few cages, a few gunpowder barrels.

    All coming out to being a much larger hull than any skull fort could offer me. I only started getting this AFTER 20, and it increased as I became a Gold Buccaneer. So yes, they get better and better as you go along, atleast they have for me.

  • JADuffman

    Been doing a fair few lvl 25 missions and they really are just awful. Seafarers chest as a reward for sailing half way across the map is just bad. Not to mention the extortionate prices in the shops, it's going to take weeks to get anything decent in this game.

  • ScurvyRodg

    I think the real problem is all the customizations (especially ship) costs WAAAAAY to much. 70,000 for sails? Really? I'm not grinding for a month, just to get new sails. I really like this game, but I am already tired of the grind at 12,000.

    41 souls here. rewards and quests arent getting better. it gets worse skelletons are much harder to kill and rewards are still bad fouls skulls all over...

    @scurvyrod I know, they prices are really high. In the alpha and first beta they were really low, but people complained that the prices are too low and they had so much gold they didnt know what to do with it.

  • ZetsubouKibo

    Yeah, I felt like when you progress and get more reputation from the early alpha of the game it felt like more rewarding because you were finding captains chests and the cursed chests.

    I'm currently level 25 and now I know to not get higher voyages because of this.

    TBH, All I mostly do is do skeleton forts to get gold because I feel like that is more rewarding plus it's more fun to do.

    RARE Made a big mistake for not rewarding better loot when you do higher level voyages.

  • Kobetastrophy

    I honestly find better loot that's randomly spawned on the islands you visit than through quests. I always tell my crew to do a quick comb of the island to see if we can find anything extra worth of value. Doing that has given us quite a few captain's chest when the voyage of that island gave us nothing.

  • boaton

    @nemesis464 nope, we all got swindled, check out VOAT.co and read the interview with an ex employee, RARE failed immensely. game will be forgotten in a few weeks by most... it’s a shame, but serves RARE well for being bad at their jobs🙃

  • Boost King

    I agree with the original post here, there should be more gold rewards for the higher your levels are. Were at level 20 and already scratching our heads.

    What confuses me is I picked up 4 barrels of dynamite, turned them in, got something like 130, 131, 60 and 200? Go figure????

    I’m now on level 20 for the Order, combats are significantly harder (special types now in), and they’re dropping basic rewards.

    Reputation gain seems to scale with gold-income, so I can understand that they don’t want to give top-tier rewards all the time because it’ll mess with the economy they have planned. Perhaps they need to add a rep-gain function when you complete a Voyage?

    Something that scales close to the level of where you are, so even if you did only get 3 rubbish skulls, you’ll get a sense of progress. Even better, it’d be a reasonable amount, so the bar moves a bit at the higher levels which, I’m to understand, are a bit of a joke.

    This would buff voyages too, and make them more appealing to the fort grinders.

    @scurvyrod I played this weekend with friends and earned 120,000+ gold. This is with skeleton forts (each time 8,000 - 12,000 of loot in 30-60 minutes).
