Reaper Chests on Skelly Ships

had the same thought.
Think it's to easy to just finde them at shipwrecks:

I just imagien 1 galleon an 2 sloops sailing around with it in a convoy.

@greencamillion1

Yeah... thought it would add an extra dynamic to their collection.
I still would have the ship wreck ones... but the occasional Skelly spawning one would be great to see who rises to the challenge :)

edit:
Do you engage... and sink the skelly ship?
Or jump on board to try and find it?
Whilst other crews on the server are trying do the same thing :)
Just mixes it all up a little

As me matey @Golgari-Hexmage mentioned while we were talking about it... it's a little like a mobile Skelly Fort sorta idea... but in a smaller way.

Great idea. Could encourage players to do skeleton fleet battles more often and make'em more rewarding.

Also imo Reaper's chest could also have a chance to spawn in vault of Molten Sands Fortress to make it more unique.

@piratecraggy Nice idea. I'm think about grabbing a couple and hanging out in the shores of gold to see if anyone comes after me

In skullforts as well maybe?

@zormis

Aye... think people are going to do this, just as things stand!!!

Or indeed... pop one on a skelly ship themselves... interesting to see how long the de-spawn on these would be & non-agro after placement etc.

Form an orderly queue :)

I know where you are coming from on that... think the skull fort has had a few additions to the line up over the past while, already plenty of loot.

Personally... I think to add a little more to the skelly ship would be cool. Imagine one situation... fog drops... you think you are after an ordinary vessel showing the "mark" only for the mists to break & Ta-da!!! I wouldn't have the "stream" column, just the reapers mark on the map table.

@piratecraggy

A very nice Idea. It would really draw attention to these skeleton ships that many people seem to avoid engaging with.

I hope your idea is spotted by the dev team and gets implemented in a future update!

Thx Matey!!
Yeah... I'm like yourself... you've seen them done them.
I'm still working on the Commendation myself however.
But generally... we all tend to just stay out of their way as a rule.
Would be a reason to occasionally... engage with them again.

@piratecraggy I an now going to this evening grab a reaper's chest and place it on a skelly galleon just to see what happens.😈

@inboundbomb

Good luck Sir!
We are yet to try it ourselves.
Please let me know how you get on.
If we get the chance & opportunity I'm sure we will give it a go too :)

Its east to board a skelly galleon. We typically ram into them or agro them by pulling up beside them and rub up against them and jump on with the kegs and go down below to defend the holes. This shouldn't be any different other than having a few curse balls to immobilize them while we make our escape.

@inboundbomb

Sounds like a plan, a good plan!!!

@piratecraggy The hard part will be convincing my crew to give up the reaper chest. Lol.

Say... it's for Science!!!
You can still get it back, just let another vessel have their chance to grab it from the skelly ship/sink it. Then hunt them down.. afterwards.

I will do what I can and let my results be known. Even if I have to do a sloop.

@piratecraggy said in Reaper Chests on Skelly Ships:

An idea, that me matey's and meself have come up with.
( Pretty sure others have maybe had the thought )
Just to dial things up a little :)

@mr-dragon-raaar
@Golgari-Hexmage

aye nice idea mate

@piratecraggy I think it is a great idea! I think it should be a special skeleton ship that can spawn. Bigger, meaner, and harder to sink. Sailing with a special reaper chest.

Could even need more than one ship and crew. Join forces to take it down. Either under no banner or an alliance. Could spark a lot of fun of all flavors coop, PvE, and PvP.

Maybe have a goal of sinking and turning in so many to get reaper skeleton ship cosmetics in the theme of skeleton ships. Rewards could be tiered to have s style rewarded completing under and alliance an free of banners.

You just made me feel warm and fuzzy inside

I've thought the same!

We put a chest inside a ship during one of our naughty sessions and I think it's a good idea. You got my upvote!

@piratecraggy
Finally done it tonight. We watched on the map off and on as it sailed to its destinations and stopped to gather supplies. Unfortunately no one was brave enough to take it from the ship. The box went down with the ship when the ship fleet battle came up.😔

Matey... major doffing of hats all round.
I love stuff like this.
Pirates using tools not rules.
So in practice this seems to work on the face of it, a little re-working by rare as a mechanic. To make it a thing would be awesome.
But I really respect anyone who on their own... makes this happen. Kudos @InboundBomb and your crew, and to all others who have tried this out!!!!

Thanks everyone btw... for all your positive feedback on this idea, it has been a little group effort, sound boarding it off each other!

I really like some of the other ideas coming out as a result of this idea being floated.
@x-Crowheart-x ... really liking that... I'm all for ramping up the difficulty, when things at times appear to be made tamer... to balance this out... the introduction of what you suggest starts to redress the balance back again. There always needs to be something meaner in the wings to get the Adrenaline pumping!!! Gets my up vote!

Excellent!!!!!
