Me and my crew got to talking today about chests and came up with an idea for a new type. We called it a bounty chest but I'm going with The Reaper Chest.
(Sorry if something similar has been suggested before but I can't find a search button to see if it has.)
The gist is the chest would be a rare dig or the
reward for a specific voyage but once picked/dug up would immediately show up on everyone in the servers map much like the reapers flag. This would in turn set off a race to either the location it was dug up, the ship currently moving it or the port it looks to be moving to.
The chest would need to be valuable or reputable enough to entice chasing it down and should have to be taken to a specific outpost far enough across the sea to give other players the opportunity to try chase it down before a crew could sell it off easily without having the fear of interruption. (It could possibly just slow your boat down and be taken to any outpost)
Another small variation could be that the chest increases in value the further it is traveled around the seas enticing players to try and hold onto it rather than just dump it at the earliest convenience.
What do you think?
