I had a box of wondrous secrets sink in less than 2 min, we spawned an island over and it was sank. Same thing happened with a COF.

It seems the loot float time is insane now. I had a Meg hunt and orb of secrets and had to rely swim it all to shore as the loot would sink by the time I swam one piece in. This was like 100m from shore

@abjectarity Rowboats are even worse. Rowboats will despawn loot off of them if you get too far away, even if its docked. I've tried that before and I almost always go back to the rowboat with like 30% of the loot I left on it. Obviously it wasn't taken by someone else because some of it is still there.

@burnbacon It's not unheard of even slightly, it's a very common complaint. It's one I agree with because I have also been affected by it.

I dont mean to be insulting but honestly with even a small amount of experience you shouldn't have any challenge with the kraken if its a sloop spawn. You need to take out 2 or 3 tentacles, just go below deck when they do the sucking animation and you should be fine.

@javennerz69 unfortunately the loot despawn timer has had to be fine tuned a lot over the years. It causes overall poor server performance for loot to stick around too long. As someone suggested above, if you have a crewmate then leave them behind to “juggle” the loot (pick up and drop each piece to reset the timer for each) or try to keep a rowboat on your ship.

it spawns us really really far away

Wait. After being sunk, You spawn far? Like how far? Because I’ve heard nobody spend far enough away. This unheard of

Rowboats are you friend and since you had a crew. Leave someone behind without spawning to ship to keep stuff in the water a float.
