Since doubloons are so scarce right now, the only way to grind them out is by doing FOTD stacks, but I don't think anyone hates their life enough to constantly do those on a daily basis.
FOTDs are extremely underwhelming, especially in this economy. However, this doubloon rework has given an opportunity for FOTDs to be great once again. There should be more loot in them.
Yea, pretty much that. More stronghold loot, 2 more reaper's chests/bounties, and it will be totally worth it. Throw another Athena Chest in there too, I think that'll be good enough for the fort.
