The Hunters call; The Grind

    Hi there everyone, this isn't a rant, let me start there. I love the hunters call and I don't mind that it takes a long time to level up (that or I'm missing something).

    It's just that I want to discuss the grind. Do people feel that it's worth it or do others too feel that it's getting really slow beyond a certain point?

    So here's where I'm at:

    • I'm currently lvl 26 1/4th
    • I generally sail with a full galleon crew and there's usually 1-3 people fishing when either we're sailing and nothing needs to be adjusted or when a voyage/quest/ step requires just one person on the island (riddles Tall tale steps etc)
    • We stop for Shipwrecks and we kill kraken/ megs etc.
    • We all know that mermaid gems can be sold at the hunters call and we keep our eyes and ears open around every isle.

    So Currently when I turn in for the night and turn in all the fish/ meat/ junk/ gems that we've gathered I go up 1/4th of a level, this is after hours of doing tall tales and voyages forts and other misc things.
    I feel like it's getting really slow and while the other factions give higher tier rewards with higher level the hunters call seems to just give the lower tier fish for 90% of the time and if we're lucky 10% of the ones actually worth something.

    Suggestions I have to improve the grind:

    • Make fish worth more rep overall (the price might see a slight hyke but I can accept the lower price as it doesn't involve as much risk)
    • Make higher levels give better chanse of obtaining the better fish. (like having a higher chanse of captains chests at higher level gold hoarders).

    Again the disclaimer. I'm not saying it needs to change it's just something I feel might improve with even a slight boost.
    Thanks for reading.

    I'm in the same boat as you, it feeling like merchant all over (other then that i like the fishing), rep gain is to little per fish.

    On the otherside it gives me something to do for the next 6 months to get 50 lol

    @ppl who have grinded to 50 in the hunter i salute you guys, damn beasts!

    I want to know what they did to get to 50 already LOL. I am level 29 but I have really just started finishing out my commendations the other day. Most of my leveling so far was just finding mermaid gems and getting 1 of every fish. Now I am going back through and clearing commendations.

    Or the rep requirement should increase less per level, because you can't get better loot.

    I really like to have the ship while i refuse to get all ships or like all ships.
    There is no grind until you made it one.
    It will maybe take me a year or even more to get the full ship and level 50 Hc, but as i already did for everything else, i didnt grind, i dont work things of, but i play the game do what i like and let it happen by the way .
    The moment i start working g it off i loose fun and quit the game. If i do thst too often the game is connected with bad feelings and i'd deinstall and never reinstall it.
    Happened with a lot of games that want me to grind and put me in a disadvantage if i don't grind and work everything of, fun or not.

    As allways: stop gaming the system, start playing the game.
