The Hunter's Call
As you continue your Outpost tour, you may come to realise that there’s a Trading Company who are curiously low on representation. That’s because The Hunter’s Call representatives prefer to set up shop out on the waves where the fish are more plentiful, and so you’ll find their people stationed at Seaposts – smaller, independent trading posts scattered across the map.
The Hunter’s Call comprises Merrick and his extended family, and while these folks may claim to be interested in the thrill of hunting, I have a sneaking suspicion that they really got into business just to keep their bellies full. They value meat and fish, especially if it’s been cooked just right, and delivering them a fine fillet or a perfect pork chop is how you earn reputation with their Company.
The Hunter’s Call representatives don’t sell Voyages to visiting pirates, however. Even Merrick draws the line at taking out a bounty on a chicken. That means you’ll need to rely on your own hunting and fishing instincts to find the rarest specimens, and your chef’s instincts if you’re going to cook the resulting meat to perfection for the largest possible payout. Assuming you don’t just want to eat it yourself for the health benefits, that is. You’d be surprised which types of meat fetch the most coin – even Kraken and Megalodon can be on the menu if you’re able to rustle up the ingredients.
Surprisingly, The Hunter’s Call will also accept gems, as well as the ‘Treacherous Plunder’ you can haul up while fishing – or ‘junk’, as normal pirates call it. Just don’t expect to become a millionaire by handing over soggy old boots.
