I'm not sure how much of this has been mentioned before so I will try to put it all together.
The ability to create your own chests, skulls and other items such as weapons or clothing. The goal of this is adding a variety of ways to play the game which seems to be the main problem currently on losing players.
Creating chests
When we fight other skeletons we don't gain anything.
If you kill a skeleton we can gain XP, Gold, other items
XP- we don't currently have a system in place that we level up just overall with all our levels combined. If you don't want to spend the time adding that in that's fine, but for example if we kill a metal skeleton then we get xp towards our gold hoarders level. If we destroy the green skeleton we get xp towards our merchant level, and killing the ghost skeletons we get xp towards order of souls level.
-With this when we kill a certain skeleton we get items that drop with it such as:
Metal skeleton drops gold/metal
Green skeleton drops tea/grass/leaves
Ghost skeleton drops some type of fragments
When you gather enough of these items you can create chests or skulls with it to sell.
-Collect a certain amount of gold you can create a chest( offer a variety of different chests to be made based on the amount of gold you collect)
-Collect enough tea or whatever the item may be then you can create a merchant box
Collect enough fragments from ghost skeletons then you can create a skull to sell.
Creating items from the drops
Give players the option to make clothing, weapons, skins for the ship instead of just chests, skulls or whatever.
Metal skeletons- when they drop gold or metal you can collect it to create weapons, lanterns, armor etc..
Green skeletons- use the leaves, tea or whatever to make clothing relatable to a swap or forest such as a ghillie suit for example. Maybe incorporate it in with the pets that will get released eventually. Such as clothing for the pets.
Ghost skeletons- use the drops to create ghostly clothing, cursed weapons that do more damage, blinds them, makes them heavier so they run slower.
How to create these chests and items
Add a shop at the outposts where you can make these at a bench or an anvil.
Once creating the chests, skulls or boxes you can sell them. Or have an option to open the chests and boxes or break the skull to get an item out of it. Maybe you didn't collect enough drops from the ghost skeleton to make a cool rare item you want but you could make a skull and break it with a chance to earn it that way.
Maybe the player doesn't have enough coins to buy something in the shop they want but could make it here instead
Collecting the drops
Having pouches or backpacks for this is a cool idea but you could really just keep it simple and let us carry it like we do gold. No need to complicate things.
This will give players a good variety to play the game and level up while being able to collect different items.
