What if you could dig a hole, then place the chest into it, then cover it up. Then a small beacon only you could see would be left. It'd be nice if you were being chased and needed a place to hide your stuff.
Let me know what you think, thanks!
Ability to re bury a chest to hide it?

@mexicated Oh, nice idea. Thanks!
Our crew has been playing since Alpha, so we toss around ideas a lot to see how to make the game more piratey.

@mexicated Perhaps the X map should be dropped upon killing the pirate carrying it?
Yes!
@cosmicstrike at the moment there is no spawnig system that let you spawn on the other side of the map. I played since 5 minutes befor i wrote here and spawnd at raids allways a island next to the raid.
Finally a great idea. So many terrible ideas on this forum. I knew it was a matter of time before someone had a good one. Best idea I've heard in a long time. This would end up solving a lot of issues some people have with the game. The solo server/pve server crowd would be able to put this to good use based on a lot of their arguments. People upset about people camping outposts would benefit from this. There are a lot of ways this could be implemented to add some variety to what you can do with found treasure. I'd like rare to think of this and see what their take on it would be.
You could even have it so once you bury the treasure you get a map of where it is. You could then sell that map to the gold horders for a portion of what the treasure is worth and rep. Could allow some people who are upset about losing treasure to pvp a safer way of progressing. Wouldn't catch me selling a map but hey its an idea. It would be cool if you could give/sell the map to other players too. It could end up being a mechanic that would give players a reason to talk with other crews.
Maybe someone needs a chest of 1000 grog to complete the commendation. They in turn ask every pirate they see on their journey if they have a map for one. Maybe someone sells them a map for one or maybe someone swindles them and sells them a map for a castaway chest lol.
I think giving the option to bury your treasure could potentially add another dynamic to the gameplay.
I already hide treasure on almost island I visit (so you b*****s won't steal it from my ship when I'm not looking) and was about to post almost exactly this. I wish there was an upvote button, too, because there are already some awesome ideas on this thread that if give credit to.
Unfortunately for me, I just server swapped (I think) and lost chests worth thousands and now I'm a little miffed. Whatever.
@cosmicstrike It's better than the enemy getting it. Plus, maybe without it in your arms you can run faster. You never know....
well this would be great if there were personal maps and a way to find your own crew mates when they get lost or left behind with loot.
@strider387I'd really like to see this in the game, it's a great idea. I'd also like to expand it to allow for pinning your maps up in the pubs for other players to hunt - you could get a notification each time one of your chests is found, or even reputation in a new faction? It would add a really nice new way of playing, especially for people who don't feel the urge to earn more gold.

Yes!
Even better, when you die, the merchants get hold of it and sell it based on the chest value. The more buried chests a player has when they die, increases the value/quantity of chests (like later voyages).
