Kegs and fire. Where do we keep kegs now?

I think it has caused people not to store them on their boats anymore, I will not go into too much details on what I've been doing with them, but I will say they are safe on the islands

Interesting :)

I keep stronghold kegs in the nest but I also divert to an outpost immediately once I get one. I don't carry normal kegs anymore as they're too dangerous to warrant the risk.

They did nerf the damage from stronghold kegs so you're not instantly sunk if they go off so as long as they're in the nest but the normal kegs seem to got buffed as if they go off below deck is near fatal now even on a sloop. The holes they create seem to be larger so keeping any kegs below deck is suicidal now.

@fadingtojosh That makes sense.

I got kegged by a stronghold keg in a brig and i even survived.
The guy who kegged me died instantly but i managed to save the ship.

All the masts were down, anchor shredded, a ton of holes.
I was lucky, i just managed to save it.
I was right by the point of no return.

1 second later to react id of lost the ship 😂

@daringclarky
In a sloop I put them in the crows nest.
Carry none on a brig and on a galleon we keep them on a row boat.

@inboundbomb Do they no longer detonate whilst being towed on rowboats?

We don't detach the row boat but 9 out of 10 people aren't looking for them to be there and if blown up it does minimal damage to the ship and players. Plus they're ready for sneak attacks.

@schwammlgott kegs despawn? I didnt know this.

Roughly how long can u keep them before they disappear?

The ideal place to leave your kegs is in the hold of another ship.

@genuine-heather Whilst putting a keg there, where do you store them on your own ship to store them there?

It is a great change. It should never be safe having explosive kegs on your ship.
