You cant open gold hoarder cbests as they have all the keys.
But you can open crates of spice etc as thats just sealed with bits of rope etc.
Holding the interact button long enough you trigger an animation where the pirate pulls out a dagger, opens the contents “sugar, spice or whatever”, empties it out and hides inside it.
Doing so will destroy this loot item for the purposes of selling but turn it into a clever disguise.
Other players will see you as the loot item you climbed into.
They can even pick you up and place it like a normal item too.
Need to board a nearby ship and they are on the same island as you? Sneak nearby and plonk yourself down as a bit of loot and watch as the crew carry you aboard!
You can move too. You sprout legs in a cartoony fashion. Think solid snake from MGS.
If somebody tries to sell “you” the disguise will be exposed and you will pop out. They can also slash the loot with a sword and give you damage.
If submerged you will not float but stay sunk and will start to drown.
You look identical to loot (as slight variations even subtle ones can be recognised and would render it useless to the experienced players)
You can hide in a variety of loot items from plants, open chests, most non gold hoarder loot etc.
If stealth is not your thing you could use the dagger mechanic to cause mischief by devaluing many of their unsecured loot.
Certainly beats throwing it overboard, would take longer too but hey its an option.
Thats all from me so far :)
