I’d like to see more interaction and exchange with the npcs around the game. One thing I’m up for is on further differentiation between the trading companies. Where as merchant sells fireworks, cannonballs, wood, and food, I believe order of souls should sell staves and cursed items that deplete with charges like the skull of flames for example. The caveat of course, being that you may not re- sell these items and/or might require some form of item sacrifice like snake meat and cannonballs will be used up to create things like green cursed balls.
The pros for this is that it will allow for better gold flow in trading and exchange of value in the sea of thieves. Furthermore, I recommend that order of souls sells the green cursed balls. My reasoning is that their rarity isn’t balanced currently by their usefulness. If we look at the way they work, they really only provide a small limited time effect on players, the cons:
only 1 may be used at a given time, some don’t affect enemy npc, they cause no ship damage, and have to be fairly precise on hitting players. And finally, they are super rare to come by which doesn’t give much incentive to use them.
In terms of staves I propose:
trident of dark tides
devils roar torch stave: throws fire balls in a volley with air splash damage and burning effect
stave of Deep torrents which shoots a blast of water knocking back foes it comes into contact with.
Stave of siren’s sorrow: basic attacks summons a shark head apparition to bite close range, charge attack allows you to summon a crab apparition to do a shockwave attack, and block button summons siren apparitions for long range small projectile bubble attacks. Apparitions disappear after each consecutive attack.
Rod of Storms: Shoots Lightning balls for crowd control Lightning chains and paralyzes targets hit for a few seconds
I also propose that reapers are able to sell anything that the other trading companies sell, as they are the faction that probably meddles in the affairs of the other trading companies. This includes cursed green balls and skulls, tridents, and resources like cannonballs, wood, and food
