Grade 5 Trading Company Abilities

    Reapers Bones has the see all ships on server and Hunter Call has the track ancient megalodon ability. I think it'd be cool if the other trading companies had other abilities that only work so long as you have a grade 5.

    • Gold Hoarder - you get a quest radial spyglass and when you see another player's ship through it, it can tell you how loot loaded the ship is with a bit of flavour text
    • Merchant Alliance - you get an overlay on your map table that shows the active trade routes, if you follow them along you can find the naturally spawning shipwrecks
    • Order of Souls - you get a tarot card deck similar to Port Merick's Order of Souls room which can inform you what the next World Event will be in the rotation on the server

    No ideas for Athena Fortune so any suggestions are welcome

    Just other emissary ships. Which isn’t often anymore.

    They all do have trading company quests, they just aren't nearly as unique. I think it'd be interesting to add in some more unique activities. As for Athena's fortune, they could bring back an old quest, Thieves Haven Run's, offer some expanded and more rewarding version of LotV, with some more lore, or introduce some kind of new story like rescuing Pendragon/Demarco/Ledesi from the SotD.

    I thought by having these abilities there will be more of them as players will keep the flags up for longer to use these abilities.

    I'm not against it, the only thing is your suggestion for gold hoarders fits more under reapers. I don't think there's ever been lore that implies gold hoarders sink other ships for loot etc.

    @hiradc
    Ok, how about Grade 5 Gold Hoarder Emissaries get the ability to curse loot items and turn them into golden versions. You do it by holding the item in your hand for 30 seconds to a minute and the gold curse slowly creeps over the loot item. It makes the loot double in value, but the loot will be heavy so it will sink if you drop it into the water.
