<![CDATA[Athena's Emissary]]>

I am 6 items away from reaching the Peerless Legend grade V commendation, so, naturally, I have been running an Athena's Fortune Emissary flag. However, when it takes me more than 3 hours to grind to grade IV only to get sunk by a kraken or an enemy ship, you can understand my frustration. I understand that the emissaries were nerfed to prevent players from infinitely looping the grade V quests, but it needs to be made faster to get to grade V in the first place.
My suggestion is this: make every action in an Athena voyage or Thieve's Haven run count towards the flag, even if it is not an Athena item. (currently, chests and gems do not count towards the flag). That way, it makes getting to grade V easier, but not from the emissary quest.

@turtgaming The balancing was needed.

There are still ways to get your grade v flag in an hour. Thieves haven run with only loading up the Athena stuff, leave the gems and other stuff. Sink any skelly ship in your way between chapter islands and check every small island as well for captains/ashen guardians/ key masters.

Ashen guardians and keymasters will give you progression too. Killed 5 of them during 1 thieves haven run, got to grade 4.5
