I’ve been on plenty of open crews and played with many different types of crews I’ve found through Discord’s and what I always hear when we find a stronghold gunpowder barrel is, “leave it”. I would always insist on carrying it for the extra gold, but even then it still frightens me just knowing there’s a bomb that could wipe our whole haul in a simple shot. No matter where you put this thing it’s gonna go off somehow unless treated somewhat carefully. The price can be as low as 3.5k, to 7k gold from my own experience. To me that’s not even half my haul the majority of the time, why take this crazy thing when it’s worth close to nothing if I’m gonna lose everything else? Price definitely needs a buff, needs the extra incentive for the crew.
[Suggestion] Increase Stronghold Gunpowder Barrel Price
it's already worth a lot with reapers or merchant emissary and a lot more on double gold weekend or gold rush hours
we used to risk them before all the bonuses so they definitely are worth it now to some people.
and it's not as risky as it used to be, now that the servers are diluted with a lot more casual players and average skill people have gotten better at repairing a stronghold blast in time to save the ship
@seamobboss The price is fine...I almost always take it with me to sell...the only time I don't take it is, on a FotD...too much risk imo, but I don't leave it there...as soon as the vault opens I instantly blow it up
@seamobboss in events like gold rush or gold and glory and grade 5 marchant flag it will be worth more than 7k

Its worth a lot.
Is it worth a risk is everyones decision.
I have shot them , take and sell them its like allways all very much situational.Make them worth more, no there is too much stuff already worth too much , especially with emissary Bonus and Double Gold etc.
I miss times when a Captains chest was rare and worth 900 gold and it was the most worthy booty you could have beside a Fort or Athena chest.
@stundorn Mike Chapman on Twitter has already addressed mentioning the unbalance of stronghold loot compared to other adventures.
