Hey guys!
I recently though of an idea to improve the Message in a Bottle, as well as the parchment papers that can be found in barrels. Instead of bottle tool-tips just saying "Message in a Bottle" it could sometimes specify the voyage company and voyage rank. This way, players would know if they've stumbled upon something worth picking up. As it is now, I see a lot of players getting their inventories filled up with bottle and barrel voyages that they don't ever complete.
Lower level players could get lucky and discover a voyage above their current faction level, which I think would be a really fun discovery for new players.
It could even be taken a step further, with the extremely rare possibility of discovering a gilded voyage, mercenary voyage, or a similar special class of voyage. This would add another highly sought after item, similar to the chest of secrets.
Finally, the barrel equivalent of this idea would show the actual voyage scroll in the barrel with some details. Note: With this idea, you could still find the mysterious parchment papers, this would just be a variant of it that could also be found.
That's about it! Let me know what you guys think of this idea. Thanks for reading!
