I have discovered roughly one thousand messages in bottles. I’ve been playing since launch, reached PL in April, reached A10 in June, completed many commendations associated with trading in 1,000 of items in each faction since then, yet have never discovered a message in a bottle for trading in a “crate of wood”. The only reason I know it’s labeled “crate of wood” is because I joined a server via a friend on my friends list yesterday and one of his messages in a bottle was for trading in a crate of wood. I realize that an update was released so that crate voyages are much more common than before, but I’ve seen cannonball crate and banana crate voyages available via messages in bottles since launch, but again, I have never come across a message in a bottle for trading in a crate of wood. Has this happened to anybody else who has played the game for a while? Is this a bug, glitch, etc?
Wood Crate Voyages are seemingly nonexistent

@zombie-p1ague I’d rather shed light on this topic in the official forums. It would be interesting to know exactly how the message in a bottle is programmed. What is the probability that the MIB will be a crate? Is it a 5% chance for cannonball and banana crates and only a 0.5% chance for wood crates?

@th3xr34p3r Yes, they are out there, and cashing in 50 of these rare crates is so much better than 1,000, but the seemingly greater rarity of wood crates is still troubling. It would be great if the devs could make the wood crate voyages a bit more common in MIBs...

@they-sank they need to put them into rotation of the main merch voyages is what they need to do.

@th3xr34p3r I wholeheartedly agree. Even if it was only a 5% chance for wood crates to appear on a merchant voyage it would make the Merchant Shipwright commendation far more realistic to achieve. It still blows me away that I’ve turned in over 1,000 chickens yet have turned in 0 wood crates. ZERO wood crates, oof...
