Skull fort needs a high value merchant item reward

  • While skull forts offer a high end chest and skull, there seems to be no matching item for the merchant trader which is a little disappointing. If a crate of kraken flesh, megaldon teeth, or some other super exotic good were introduced it would give an even bump to all three traders on cash in.

  • a golden squirrel worth 2-6 k just like the skull and chest :-P

  • even a constant exotic spices would be nice... I would like Fort tea or fort herbs/spices for a clean 3-5 k

  • @silverburchlive crate of unobtainium

  • You already get a crate of sugar and spice for the Merchant Alliance - together, they should equal the skull fort's chest for the Gold Hoarders or skull for the Order of Souls (but not both)...

  • Stronghold gunpowder keg. Capable of nuking an entire island, or selling for some gold if you're into that sort of thing.

    Ah I like this. gunpowder keg with 3 times the power. Instant galleon sinker

  • 6 Diamond Chickens!

    All nicely sat in their cages waiting for collection!

    That's what it needs...

  • @galactic-geek Unfortunately the crates available are random, I've ended up with 2 sugar before. Plus it's hard to compare and contrast as you usually get a smattering of captain's chests and disgraced bounty skulls as well. But either way there should be a 100% guaranteed high level merchant item (probably visually distinct to match the chest and skull) so no matter what random fillers the cave contains you always get a tidy bump to all three traders.

  • @hot-juicy-pie that would be sweet a huge Gun powder if it pops on ship instant sink.....

    Would introduce an interesting dynamic, sell it for strong gold and rep, or try use it as a MOAB on a hot on your tails galleon and lose out on the rep.

  • Yeah its totally random, did get four exquisite spices from one once which totalled to more than the skull, but only ever happened once.

    Should be more frequent as merchant is a pig to grind. 🤔

  • @silverburchlive How about a crate of Written Correspondence (letters and such)? Ever wanted to be a coastal postal pirate? 😆

  • @galactic-geek Letters of marque would work :)
