It isn't even adding in a new mechanic into the game. Just use whatever code Skeleton Captains have to drop their skulls, and apply that to the statues. Treat the gem like a relic, with the harder to kill ones being worth more than the easier ones. I'd hate to see these statues be like the thrones are, with no real reason to go after them once their event is done.

Even if it was just 100 gold for Sapphire, 200 for Emerald, and 300 for a Ruby. I would farm those bad boys just to put them all over my ship. Especially if they glinted the colors they do on the statues.
OR...
- Sapphire - Hoarders Rep (Easiest to find, like chests)
- Emerald - Merchants Rep (Hardest to find, like crates)
- Ruby - Souls Rep (Hardest to beat, like souls missions)

I think while the event is still going on they should just give doubloons, but once the event is over then they'd drop their respective gem. The doubloons are already pretty valuable, but would be good to have reason to care about the statues after the event (assuming they'll still be around).@krackenfood said in Make the Mermaid Statues drop their gem:

Yeah, I am not so sure why Rare adds things like this where they are kind of trapped into changing the game, or leaving something how it is in a shape of--nobody wants to try doing it again.

Since they are leaving them in the game, this would be the easiest solution to give them some kind of value.

Hopefully we will see a content drop that adds real replay ability for each of the previous drops we have had including this one.
