Balance Rewards of Riddle Quests

  • The progression of the Gold Hoarders is fairly broken. Riddle quests are harder than X marks the spot maps and they're meant to be because they unlock later instead of being immediately available. Additionally, they get more complex the higher level the voyage. However, at higher levels they're not worth the time to do. An X marks the spot map can have up to 5 or 6 chests easily marked on a single island. A riddle quest takes longer than digging up those 5 chests and rewards one chest. The quality of the chests currently appears to be completely random. This means that you might as well just do the X maps and skip the riddles and then cancel the voyage, because they're not worth the time investment comparatively.

    This needs to be rebalanced. Riddle quests are more fun and more engaging and yet they're less rewarding and this is bad design. They should be as rewarding or more rewarding and currently they aren't. There should either be a way to work multiple chests into the riddles or the riddles should guarantee higher quality chests. Possibly both.

  • @allekatrase could increase the probability of a higher level chest substantially or have multiple chests buried in the same place.

  • @i-am-lost-77 Or you could have a chest buried at each of the locations for the clues so you progressively get them. There's a lot of ways they could do it, but something needs to be done.

  • Higher level gold hoarder quests with 1 chest listed, have multiple chests hidden around the island. This isn't explained anywhere from what I've seen.

  • @ni6hth4wk Do you have evidence of that? Islands randomly have chests. I've never noticed a definite correlation between the riddle quest and the randomly spawning chests being more common. I think you're seeing a correlation that isn't actually there and you just notice more chests because you're searching the island more thoroughly.

  • @allekatrase Just from the quests I've been on with high level players who tell me that... and then we find the chests all over the island. If you find any on a low level quests, its because another player didn't pick up their high level hidden chest.

  • @ni6hth4wk And what about the times I go on riddle quests and scour the island and find no additional chests? I really don't think there's a correlation.

  • @allekatrase idunno... could be user error? If the high level gold hoarder quests are actually that f***r'd, they could definitely use a touch of love.

  • I enjoy the riddle quests. I have had some that I've run around on an island for ages and not found the clues.
    I don't enjoy when I find the chest and it's like 100 gold. I don't feel as though I got a reward for my work.

  • I actually think all the higher level factions quest could use a slight bump in rewards. Sick of seeing those damned seafarer's chest arggg!

  • I agree with this subject. Currently I am Gold Hoader level 24 and my last 10 diggings only got me Sea Fearer's Chests. Still lots of fun, but highly disappointing rewards.
