Since I arrived lvl 45, the majority of quests I get is riddles I came up with some ideas...
What about some different kind of riddle.
It's all about lanterns high, play music and read the map in some already well known marks.

We could have time variety too.
For example day/nigjt, sunset/Dawn, midnight, or an exact hour to do it (ex. From 9pm to 10pm)

Other actions:
Jump, shoot, sword slash something.
Drow water/vomit.
Use actions from the wheel of actions.
Say an specific sentence with our wheel of chat.

Being drunk/poisoned and see specific marks we couldn't see otherwise and then perform some action.

Group actions.

Perform "rituals": example drop some specific item/animal somewhere.
For this, the item required could spawn on the island when you arrive and you'll need to find it first.

Underwater places too. Or unreachable on foot, we'd need to use our cannon to aim and jump there. Or drop from higher places.

I want riddles to secret caves to boobytrapped halls and temple of doom esq stuffs

Yep. We could have legendary Riddles! Making the legendary status more interesting.
Riddles that open secret places. Great idea

:o please! Omg even if it was only for legendary voyages it would be amazing! They could even do the teleporter gate thingy so they dont have to work the cave under each island. They could do like a randomly generated cave network with like 1 or 2 boobytraps.

Yeah. This seems nothing much trouble to add to the game. Is everything in the game already.
And for the legendary riddle, that should work too. A random cave.

@irhcsajr said in New riddle types.:

No thanks, I don't even do the riddles they have now. The reward for spending 10+ mins on a riddle for one castaway chest is not worth the time at all.

But that is just a different problem. You're talking about the progression/probability of chests we find. That's a thing that should change because it's absurd the effort we make to only find a castaway. On every Quest, not just riddles.

This is about diversity of the riddles. Of course this would need to be added after that change on the chests probability. People are complaining about that, me included. I also created a post about that issue.

But this is nothing to do with that.
This is about the riddles not getting so repetitive and boring.

@urihamrayne said in New riddle types.:

some real good suggestions, I like the dialog wheel one especially. Though this game can be played solo so avoid things that require more than one person to solve.

Yeah I Know. But for that kind of request it could only appeared for crews

@urihamrayne said in New riddle types.:

@nunoazuldimeter That goes for full crews as well, sometimes internet happens and a crew may be of only one person, a solo. Simple fix is to cancel the voyage, but what if it's an athena's quest? Let's just be safe and keep it simple.

What if those kind of request only appeared on duo sloop and galleon, but only from message in the Bottle and diary.
That way we wouldn't need to cancel any voyage. And wait for someone to join us again to complete it. :D

@ajm123 said in New riddle types.:

@nunoazuldimeter vomit on the drunken skeleton on the cliff then walk 3 paces north

I can imagine one riddle request saying you need to be drunk and throw vomit on something, then you need to dig: "here.. nooo.. there.. wait.. here. Oops. It was there.. " while you can't stay still ahaha.

@captain-arcanic said in New riddle types.:

Some great ideas here.

What if voyages had details you could read before you buy?

• Requires 2 or more pirates.
• Chapter Quest

That way you could still have the variety without making people buy voyages they can't complete.

Other riddle ideas.

• Stand in two spots on an island and raise lantern/play song, etc.
• Destroy 10 skeletons.
• Get rid of all the snakes on the island (for small islands).
• Use gunpowder to blow up a boulder in front of a cave.

That's great ideas too. Like it!
