I've been thinking about the possible addition of shark bait. Something like blood-n-guts, that you can add to your bucket, and then throw it into the sea to attract sharks to that location
The use I had in mind was to help protect your ship from boarders and thieves
The downside is that it could possibly (well, most definitely) be used to grief others
Does this idea have sea legs? Or is it a shipwreck?
@wildbloodoz I had thought of and heard the idea of chumming the water to attract sharks for boarding protection. Latter when the forsaken shores came out, someone talked about the shroudbreaker and asked what powers other figureheads might have if any. The idea of the shark hunter figurehead attracting sharks came to mind.
Now with shark meat implemented, it would give another reason to bucket chum into the water, to attract them for actual hunting purposes.
As @Schwammlgott said though, going for a swim seems to work well.
Commendations weren't part of my reasoning. Protecting the ship was my main idea. Quick example: ship becomes stopped by an anchorball. To deter enemy players from swimming on to your ship, drop a bucket 'o bait in the water and in a short time you'll have sharks circling that area. That was my train of thought

Ahh...ok, i like that idea...but as the whole game is rng based, I don't think this will come...
@dreadpirate9200 I like that idea too. Swimming long distances with no food and a shark chasing you, but you got a chum bucket in your back pocket. It could save your life.
A meg knocks you off your ship into a swarm of sharks that have continuously spawned, but you have that chum bucket!
