Scavenger Hunts and Special Quests

  • Wouldn't it be great to have one or two special voyages that everyone on a server could partake in?
    Picture walking into the pub and seeing a new NPC sitting at the table. He tells the tale of how his crew found a fabulous golden statue in one of the underwater ruins, but it was shattered when his ship was attacked by the Kraken, and the pieces were stolen by the merfolk. Now they each lie in a cave or underwater lagoon somewhere across the Sea of Thieves.

    • Everyone who comes to the server can search for them.
    • Each is worth 5k and if you return with 2 or more, you get a special cosmetic or item. The more you return with, the better the item.
    • Anyone who checks at an outpost can see how many are currently found and how many remain hidden.

    Create dozens of these Events and sprinkle them liberally throughout the servers. Boom! Fresh, fun content. And unless I miss my mark, this uses mostly existing mechanics.

    I admit, this idea is fresh in my mind, but I can't see a downside, and I want it RIGHT NOW! ehem, as soon as possible.

    Perhaps this is what's coming with the weekly challenges?

  • @captain-arcanic I like it!
    Could be a cool extra thing.

    Maybe it could be like a voyages that the players can get from the npc, instead of the voyage going in the inventory this goes up on a wall somewhere in crews boat.

    Just like the merchant voyages the items can go down in number when someone in the world give the npc one of these items and the voyage disappears from the wall when all of these "items" have been given back to that npc.

    • When you spawn into the world there is a chance that the NPC is in the pub.
    • Gives the player one other thing to do while at the outposts, that is checking the pub for the NPC quest.
  • PvP bounties are something Rare should consider (on a VERY long cooldown of course)
