So in the last Smugglers Fortune update we got these storage crates which we could use to stock up everything in them, making them like moving barrels. Could we please buy these for X gold (50 to 200 is a reasonable price) at the merchant alliance? it would make life easier for us solo players.
EDIT: I'm talking about buying crates that fully empty, so you have to run around the outpost to fill them up. You just don't have to run back to the ship every 30 seconds.
@unrealyors
It would make life a whole lot harder for players at low levels, with little gold to spend on resources or crates, while players with 10 million+ gold can buy as much as they want for essentially nothing. Or, if someone was sunk, perhaps by a crew sieging a stronghold or battling a skeleton fleet, they can just buy crates for resources and get back very quickly while the crew at the event or island has no chance to do so.
1 storage crate per crew member for scavenging?
Check.
1 storage crate filled with cannonballs per cannon?
Check.
1 storage crate per deck filled with food?
Check.
1 storage crate filled with wooden planks per section of lower deck capable of being holed?
Check.
Do you see where I'm going with this? Being able to purchase them completely defeats the purpose of the layout of barrels on a ship, in addition to what others have already mentioned.
@galactic-geek I never said to be able to buy them filled, just want to buy the new storage crates, fully empty. When you start a game you always spawn at an outpost but when your ship sinks, there's a big chance you don't.
What can you get on the outpost? maybe reach for 100 cannonballs and 70 planks? maybe 50 bananas and 5 of each other fruit? not even including pineapples? (And that if you get lucky, cause sometimes I get 70 total cannonballs and 30 planks...)
Well I will eventually get them all without a storage crate but for when I have everything the barrels will stock up again and yet another 100 cannonballs... etc
I'm asking for this to make the game feel less heavy, sometimes it gets boring to get these supplies and when I run out I would prefferably scuttle than stay with 0.
@UltmateRagnarok Low level people still have some gold, no one ever spends even the last 50 gold pieces they have, and paying 50 golds for a storage crate was just an idea, but we could get them free as well so thats not a problem. (And again, I want them EMPTY, so you have to fill them up from the outpost barrels.)
And who does forts anyway? I can easily get rid of 3 forts solo in just about an hour and a half by switching servers... because there is no enemy force, EVER.
Nice story: Once I got hit by a galleon when I got rid of the captain, and I got sunk, but at that point I had time to hide the key in a spot that I never seen anyone use xD. They didn't get the key, I went back to said fort and they were waiting for me, so I sailed there, got them on my back and started sailing against the wind, until I reached the sea-dogs tavern where I made them pretty much hate their existence... They gave up on me after a few turns, cursed cannonballs and some holes I made to them and killing the boarders plenty of times.
@ultmateragnarok I'm pretty sure merchants don't sell voyages where they give you storage crates, but for sepparate cannonballs, planks and fruit then yea, good option.
You can't sell storage crates, so it makes sense that it won't appear during a merchant voyage. You have to find them, much like you do with treasure chests and row boats, since it's a utility item.
As for them not being filled, that's besides the point. It's their mobility and versatility that makes them really good.
