Skeleton ships give loot. They are essentially like sea monsters.
Maybe sea monsters should drop loot, a reason to not just ignore them.
Kraken could drop a large pearl.
Meg could drop a large tooth or eye.
etc.
They could offer either 5 doubloons each or they could go to a monster hunter or fisherman guild for gold. Or maybe just merchant alliance.
TBF it may be time for a new faction :)
Considering the monsters eat ships, it wouldn't be too ridiculous if they just dropped random regular loot. Sharks are known to eat whatever they can find in the sea so it works. I feel like killing your first one should unlock a few doubloons or commendation.
Alternatively, they could drop cursed monster parts that you could sell to the Order of Souls, fitting as their gameplay is based on combat.
When more monsters are introduced to the game, a crazy monster hunter faction would be super fun though, maybe bring Merrick back to give you voyages. I play solo so I never get a chance to kill anything other than skeletons.
@kzoo-kid I sometimes wonder if they develop anything now. I was looking at old trailers yesterday and a ton of the dlc cosmetics and stuff were in the old trailers. The first E3 trailer had the "new" octopus figurehead, the HD and cursed sails cosmetics have been in the game since like alpha as well as a bunch of other stuff that they are for some reason waiting to put in the game even though it's already finished.
@cougarhound69 i posted something to this effect too. im glad you are posting it again. the more who do the more attention itll get. i have heard them confirm a few times they are gona add some kind of reward to the meg / kraken encounters.
i think a monster hunting faction would be cool but they need at least one more monster maybe the crab we all desire haha.
i think drops would be cool but also could turn in the eye / tentacle/ tooth whatever for a special cosmetic. then they went and gave us the damn kraken stuff for free haha. well there is still a fix to be had.
they seem partial to reskins recolors. so i think the kraken outfit in white and gold would be pretty awesome. you earn it from turning in kraken parts. make a common meg outfit with a legendary reskin color. make a crab boss and legendary color reskin for that outfit.
the opportunity is there they just have to put time into it. im really looking forward to this new roadmap that is supposed to come out 'soon' haha whenever that is. and they always said in the early phases that they would come out with another faction reasonably soon after launch. UNLESS ITS THE BILGERAT PPL, still waitin on that, but.. its prob the bilge rat. to be fair they are the most interesting faction with so many achievements and special rewards
