Being able to choose the voyage type from trading companies

  • We should just be able to pick the voyage type from the trading company.

    For example, the Merchant Alliance has animal voyages, cargo runs, and lost shipment voyages. We should be able to just pick one of the three types from the three-box selection, instead of one of the three types appearing randomly within the three boxes.

    Example of how this can be extremely frustrating:
    I spent all day working, and when I had finished doing housework/showering/etc I got cozy and was finally ready to tackle some of my remaining Merchant voyages (for 250 voyages complete) by doing animal voyages (I still also need animals turned in as a legend). So I logged in, spent five minutes fully stocking my ship (I can't buy supplies because the new captaincy cosmetics are insanely expensive and I have been buying those), and then I was all ready so went to the Merchant to buy the animal voyage.

    It showed me three voyages to buy -- lost shipment, cargo, cargo. I tried buying them all to clear the voyages, but the exact same three voyages were available to buy again. I did this a few times and then went to a different outpost, and it was the exact same situation. Spent a few thousand gold trying to force it to work, but it did not. I just can't believe we are not able to select the voyage type from the trading company representative.

  • yeah I dunno why this didn't get a qol update after the newer missions for the factions

    imo people should be able to easily pick the voyage they want to go on.

    That's the sort of convenience that improves things without causing any significant damage.

    idk about you, but I've visited Merchant faction and they always have one of each voyage.

    Now, if you were a captain of a ship, I believe you can get a bundle of certain voyages.

  • @burnbacon Any idea if sailing on a normal voyage vs captains one has any difference for commendations etc? (for example miles sailed for certain faction?) I believe it doesn't, but not 100% sure.

  • @zig-zag-ltu

    As far as commendation progression for Captain's Voyages...

    Miles sailed ✅
    Voyages completed ✅
    Voyages purchased ❌

    @RdCrestdBreegul

    I genuinely don't understand why this QoL type update hasn't been done yet. Just give us a little drop down menu and let us pick what we want.

    Haven't done it in a while, but the most frustrating was always getting over to Morrow's Peak to get started with an Ashen Athena, heading down into the hideout and only being offered 3 regular voyages.

    Go the the hideout on the starting outpost, then try again at Morrow's Peak if you didn't get one - it might have been reset and the Pirate Lord might be offering a different set.
    Buy a regular one, put it on the table, return to the hideout - IIRC there will be a new voyage the PL offers.

    Having said that, having at least one of all types available on all applicable trading companies would be prefarrable.

  • @lem0n-curry Yeah Alt-F4-ing a couple times usually gave me what I wanted...but that's not the point. Players shouldn't have to troubleshoot something that should just be a QoL thing already.

  • Captain voyages guys...

    There are no standalone animal captain voyages.

    Yes there are. They are called “A Shipping Contract for Captained Ships” and “A Prized Shipping Contract for Captained Ships”

    At this time the only normal voyages that aren’t represented singularly as a captaincy voyage are the specialty ones offered by the main factions: vaults, ghost fleet, lost shipments. I don’t know why they chose to only include those in a bundled voyage type instead of by themselves as well. I really hope they add them. I would also love if they added DR only captaincy voyages that weren’t bundled up types. Right now DR voyages for captaincy are the Ashen Athena and the Ashen Mercenary, that’s it.
    This website is super helpful for understanding what captain voyages exist (plus everything else about SoT, it’s their wiki) https://seaofthieves.wiki.gg/wiki/Captain's_Voyages
