I think that Smugglers should have a voyage that they give you camouflage coverings (a patch of grass, bush or rock). So what you can do is take the contraband loot to an island, bury it then place the camouflage covering on top. This camouflage covering removes the treasure map from your inventory, completely removing it from your map bundle - but it only does it to loot that you have buried and not other crews. This would be a lot of fun as this could be pretty emergent and players could stumble upon a stash while doing a different kind of voyage, or use it while running from another crew to bury a piece of loot to come back for it later.
Increase smuggling by causing more player interceptions through camouflage coverings
@burnbacon said in Increase smuggling by causing more player interceptions through camouflage coverings:
But the issue is. Nobody really buried loot…there no good enough reason just to do it.
That is a good point. I thought that maybe if it was changed so if you buried your loot, it could appreciate the value of the loot over time and award you more gold/rep on sell. But then you would just get people planting all their loot across an island and staying in the same server, then getting very annoyed if they got sunk after they dug it all back up and just abandoning the mechanic altogether.
