We all have our favorite lantern lights that we love like the lightning light or the volcano light. It can be hard to get some of the different colors everytime you spawn in a game or sink and you wish you could just switch the light to what you want so you don't have to go through all the trouble of getting it back. So initially having to get the lights should still be a challenge up to the point when you get "The Festival Party Boat" commendation. After you get that commendation there should be a way to switch through all the lights and use your favorite colors. Maybe if not the party boat commendation that will unlock the light switching, it should be getting all of the "Festival of the Damned" commendations complete. I'd like to see other peoples thoughts on this and how it should be implemented in the comments.
Lantern Color Switching Idea
I love the idea, here is how I think it should be implemented:
The Flames of the Damned
The lantern of the Damned:
When you earn all Festival of the Damned commendations a very spooky lantern will appear in your ship's captain's quarters. This lantern's flame is green, the same color green that you see on the Ferry.
Paying tribute:
When you interact with this lantern a menu will appear that will let you pick a flame color that will change your lantern's flame to that color.
However this color change isn't free. You must pay the Ferryman 500 gold each time you change colors.
- The 500 gold is supposed to be cheap as it is mostly to add flavor to the game than act as a barrier. "Paying the Ferryman" and all that.
Restrictions:
Players that have not earned all the Festival of the Damned commendations cannot interact with the lantern in the captain's quarters nor can they take the flames placed in the world by players who have access to the flames.

and Master of the Song of the DeadThat would also be a great opportunity for being able to customize ship lanterns. Having a variety of lanterns to choose from along with our ship cosmetics will give us a great sense of design and personalizing. Maybe lanterns specific to map zones (The Wilds, Ancient Isles, etc..) or similar to equipment/clothing designs.
So what if it makes the well of fates useless for some? It’s still necessary so new people can get the accommodation. I agree that the well of fate should be put in the captains cabin and only available to be used by anyone who has completed every achievement in the festival of the dammed section of the bilge rats section
