Did Chests get nerfed again? And add an Admiral's Chest already!

    I turned in a bunch of Marauders yesterday and most brought in around 350g . A few weeks ago the norm was more double that. It's getting to the point that I don't get excited getting a captain's chest anymore and even the 1000 grogs I dug up was only giving me 800g . seems like a drop in the bucket for a rare cursed chest.

    I suggest have the value ranges for chest rewards to be narrower and raised a bit across the board. At least a little closer to OoS. Treasure chests are integral to the aesthetics of a pirate game and we should be genuinely excited digging up something shiny. Now everything has the lustre of a Castaway chest.

    And C'mon Rare add a platinum "Admiral's Chest" or "Commodore's Chest" that is the same model as the Captain's but is silver with a green jewel. Make it rare and make it worth a lot.

    It's as easy as using the new models i know your art team has, uploading them in a patch and putting them in a loot table with a low drop rate. It's an easy way to get folks excited again.

    @m1sterpunch Your right, mostly the chests that were the best have decreased in value, I remember when the captain's chests went to thousands, now its only 800-900. The good value of chests have to come back or add something that's better than the regular amongst captain's or the cursed chests.

    True and also even at high levels I still almost always get a ton of seafarers chests....making it to get in to the high 40s almost impossible without finding like 40+ chests and not getting sunk in the process.

    I've sold a captain's chest for +/- 600g and it was such a disappointment. I think my lowest was 578g

    I rarely see one break 800g now

    Yes, you get better level loot but the values have been reduced. As far as I can tell the skulls and animals are the same.

    To be fair gold hoarders is the easiest faction. Low risk aka the chests dont fight back. And you can turn in at any outpost.

    As long as they dont touch the rep gain that's okay with me. Plus merchant is how you make money

    The reason the chests are less valuable than skulls is because OoS voyages require a lot more work. They are equal when you factor in the average value vs. time they take to collect

    i dunno, the skelly spawn rate for chest voyages are pretty high, and though not fully as tough as OoS voyage skellies, they aren't push overs either
