As a solo slooper, I'm enjoying trying to figure out the most efficient ways to complete voyages and stay out of harm's way. Last night while trying to snag two chests off Crooked Masts, I cannon up to the top to start digging, then in an attempt to save time I tried dropping them off the cliffs into the water on the south side nearer to my ship. Unfortunately the game physics disagreed with my plan and glued the chests practically sideways onto the cliff face and out of reach.
Any clever tips to work around this? Or would I need a distinct plank/tree/or precipice over the water to make this happen? Any chance item/loot physics will evolve to include fancier gravity?
And thanks to the friendly galleon that boarded my my lootless sloop while I pondered physics. I heard your invite, but I had to dock for the night.
