OP looking to cheese Reaper Chest/Bounty commendations. LOL

@calico-jack3172 said in Reaper chests:

The reaper chests should not be visible on the map after collected , fairness is welcome. By the way , as long as the reaper lord buys goods from any company , any company should buy his chests as well.

Reapers is the intentional risk modification of this game as is flying the flag. The Reapers chest like humble gifts can only be sold to the reapers lord. It’s an elevated risk nobody has to take. I know when I get it I’m the hunted. I don’t get it unless I’m empty because it’s a suicide run for me that pays well 😂

No, leave the reaper chest as is. If anything maybe make the reaper chest charge up its value (providing you are not a reaper) as a reward for giving away your position. The mark on the map gets larger with time maxing out as an L5 reapers chest.

no point in having a reaper chest in a risk/reward scenario without the risk

I think it would be cool if crews could keep the chest on their ship as "insurance" for when a Reaper comes. If the emissary grade of the ship is low then perhaps it may be in the best interest of the attacker to take the chest instead of sinking it.

If the chest in given to the reaper, the reaper may temporarily roam the map without their mark, or the mark of the chest, showing up (like say 1/2 hour). If the chest is stolen, it's behaviour remains as is and both the ship and the chest appear on the map.

Just a thought. I really wish they would experiment with loot changing behaviour / value based on how it is acquired.

@wolfmanbush , it's a "no risk" scenario for those preparing an ambush at reaper's hideout , just letting others "do the job". There's a point , Sir : SoT needs to be more challenging for everyone.

camping reapers for just reaper chests isn't common

what's more common is less experienced pirates thinking it's a good idea to turn in a reaper chest while someone is already there turning in their own loot

The amount of reaper chests I've turned in from random people attacking me while I'm turning in that had a reaper chest on them is much higher than it should be.

Wait. People still know about these? Then why do I always end up with 5 of them and nobody comes after me. :(

Lol so you are blanket wanting tucking in any form removed by your logic of ambushing a known target being bad? Good luck!

@calico-jack3172 again...PvP faction! When I steal from others it doesn't matter what kind of treasure it is...and for reapers there is just that one selling point...if there would be more, like on every outpost, I would agree...

@schwammlgott , fair ... so the reaper lord shouldn't buy merchant goods or skulls by this logic , just reaper chests.

@calico-jack3172 no and no...in the beginning of the reaper chest, you could sell it to Duke (now Larinna), but since the reaper hideout exists it belongs there, for obvious reasons (REAPER chest anyone?)...it's a chest for the PvP faction, reapers, they also get seen on the map...so why shouldn't it be on the map?

@wolfmanbush agreed, although it doesn't seem like many people even fight over them anymore.
