I just really like the mythology about Posideons trident, so having one in sea of thieves would be awesome if it gave you powers in the water, also summoning abilities that the latest event with the shrouded ghost perfectly demonstrated, it would be just fantastic and really fun, I feel that a magic system is something that's missing. And I'm sure many people would enjoy that to, some players might be more competitive with this then sword / guns, less logging off etc.

I don't disagree with the Trident needing an update. Though I don't think this is the update it needs. Having the Trident

being charged by gems seems like an unnecessary thing to do when a large quantity of Tridents can be easily obtained.

Faster movement in the water is something I could understand as it is a water based item that should have some plus to

it while being used in the water. Besides that, I really don't see people using the Trident in serious combat situations

besides maybe spawn camping.

I think they should give the ability to combine tridents

this helps the server by people potentially not carrying around 20 of their tridents

combined won't give complete power (in the form of extra charges) it will give 75% so there is a sacrifice involved and it is appealing because it clears the deck of clutter and lasts longer

it requires effort and time to gather them so it rewards activity

there are too many cluttering the seas after sinks imo and this would clean the sea and bring a balanced approach to upgrading the already existing trident

It also doesn't change the camping or pve scenario much as the tridents already exist in the scenario it is just adding convenience and efficiency with a charge sacrifice.

Combing Tridents would definitely be the best way to go if you're wanting to charge them. Though I don't know how many people would actually

use that feature over just grabbing a new Trident and getting the same amount of use from it. In terms of Server Performance. Yes, It would

help. But I'm not sure how much of a difference it would really make.

And using them for Spawn Camping is honestly just un-changeable unless there was some feature where it wouldn't work for more than x amount

of time out of the water or something which seems unnecessary.

The mer-camper

lol

Sounds cool and would be fun but the 2 main uses are killing pve too easily and camping boats too easily.

and if it was nerf'd nobody would really use it as it wouldn't be effective.
