Old Topic.. but instead of posting a new post, I thought I'd just revive this thread w my idea..
A large chest that requires 2 pirates to properly carry.. or 1 pirate would have to drag it, slowly. Eh!? Eeeeh?

@enf0rcer sounds like a good place! Thank you very much!

@jaydragoon welcome to the forums!

I think we all would like to have more rare and cursed chests to find. A lot more fun when you can interact with things in the world and even better when the interact back.

Here are a few of my ideas:

Chest of Thousand_Pinches: This chest has a crab shell lid with a large and small claw folded in the front. The chest can wake up. It springs two stalk eyes from the top of the lid. The claws wave around and pinch the person carrying it. (Seems the filter has issues with a form of the word pinch.)

It does damage. If it is dropped to eat and heal, it can spring legs and runaway a bit to sit and wait to be picked up again. There is way to subdue it. Giving it after it attacks you a tankard of grog temporarily makes it drunk and does not lash out.

Chest of Endless Twirl: This chest looks like a large ornamental chest with depictions of pairs of ships circling one another on the lid. At random times it starts to play music like a music box. There is a music box in one of the shops as an example of the music. It causes everyone close and/or the person carrying the chest to momentarily spin like a ballerina.

Chest of Siren's Song: This decorative chest has a mural of merfolk on the lid. At random times it hums or sings (which works best) a lullaby. The person carrying it and others too close yawn and momentarily fall asleep. Someone not under the spell can dump a bucket water of the sleeping victims or use their megaphone to yell for them to get up.

Chest of Chilling Wail: This chest has a ghost like appearance. At random times it emits a wail of a banshee. The person carrying it immediately drops it and shakes in fear like the NPCs did during the Cursed Sails event. This curse can temporarily be delayed with the glow of a lantern from the Order of Souls.

@ENF0RCER is the a spot on the master list for chest ideas in general?

Wow these are some great idea's. Unfortunatly i do not have a space dedicated to chest on it yet. However i did make a post for this Called Giving Loot Gameplay Value which i will be updating as i was looking for the chest list Topic tread @KattTruewalker was kind enough to provide which i have added to the list. So if you want I'll add your idea's there.

BTW @KattTruewalker do you think it's ok for me to copy some of the cont from the old chest post to mine? Or is that agianst the rules? Like even if i give the OP credit.

I'm not sure if you or @ENF0RCER have come across this magnificent thread by @Cows-n-Muffins which did contain a huge number of chest ideas from around the community at the time -

Never saw it. Looks like long while back. It is awesome. Great example of why a master list of ideas is needed! Many thanks!

The Haunted Chest sounds fun, but you should be able to directly interact with the ghost. Maybe play music or talk to it. This can keep its behavior a bit more in check because you're entertaining the bored ghost.

@jaydragoon The reaper chest has already been suggested but the hunting chest sound great.

Love the haunted chest idea and ghosts wreaking havoc with your ship. I really like the idea of ghosts making appearances generally, but especially near graves/graveyards; perhaps appearing more at night and drift around the area moaning and whispering... really creepy and frightening looking. Maybe if they pass through you you lose health, or are so spooked that you uncontrollably jump over board or jump off a cliff or something.

Or maybe they can possess you and make you do things you don't want to do for a period of time.
