An opportunity with the Black Market

  • Hello everyone!

    I joined SOT back in season 10, so I don't know much about this certain topic, but I have done my research.

    I prepose today that the Black Market, when readded, will reintroduce Legacy Voyages back into Sea of Thieves! It is, as I can see online, that the Black Market hosted a place where people would be able to buy Mercenary Voyages and well, just voyages!

    What I am preposing is the Black Market will be a place where players can buy voyages that were in the game previously. Think the old voyages pre season 11, you can't dive to them, random treasure, a sense of RNG.

    I also prepose that the Black Market contain, for perhaps doubloons once again, Mercenary Voyages. According to my research these would take you to islands in the region you buy the voyage for. These would have multiple quests, and I believe these were very effective at player retention and keeping players on a server. They are also a doubloon sink, which is what Rare is currently focusing on introducing. If they were to be permeant, as from what I can see they were temporary, they should be balanced.

    May it also be said that the Gold economy is inflated, so these should be purchasable with gold too!

    I hope you enjoy reading, I look forward to all your responses, let's get this implemented!

    Have a great day!

    I hate to say it, but it was back briefly 3 months ago for a charity donation.

  • with how voyages were reworked we cant buy them from a vendor anymore they are part of the quest table. but at the same time they can just show up in our inventory when we claim a twitch drop... so i dont see why we couldnt buy voyages from an outpost to add to our ships quests. though i guess it would require another rework of the system and that might not be worth the effort? the bilge rat weekend thing does seem to imply a lot of older time limited cosmetics will be coming back. i dont fully remember what the mercenary voyages were. but im thinking you might be referencing to the ones where it ended with grog chests or something. they werent exactly great voyages though i will admit i used them to work on specific commendations if i recall. like they offered red plants alot. with how the game has evolved they would have to up the loot to more modern levels. the reaper voyages i think were better for keeping people on a server though the concept behind them was pure streamer bait. have a voyage where you know exactly what islands other ships would be going to. and that their final stop they would have a literal boat load of treasure. but it was all captains chests. vilanous skulls used to be the most valuable loot aside from fort loot. spices were probably second highest? golden animals were up there too but people didnt like that. keeping in mind loot has a sell range rather than a fixed value (except in cases like gems which were the most superior old loot) so a captains chest could sell almost as low as 560? and as high as 1100? but a kings chest is what 2-3k? but yea repear voyages if i recall were 5 stops. wanderers, other island, wanders, other island, end at wanderers. with each stop scaling the number of Xs to dig. i think maybe doubling each time? or just set numbers. i think the last chapter was maybe 12 chests?
