I believe we might have had threads about this. But I feel I have a good idea, to what we can do regarding sails in the sea of thieves.
We all love the DA sails, for the visibility, however for my experience I do feel it’s a bit sad, that we can’t use other great sails, unless we are willing on compromising on the visibility. Therefore, I got this idea for a viable solution, that would make the price of the DA sails fair while making this idea viable at the same time.
I’ve seen the suggestion of offering different sail types, which I do like the idea of.
My suggestion would be as such:
Plain
Tattered (sails that’s ripped/torn in places)
Legendary (which is the shape as the DA sails)
You would buy most sails as a plain cut, but have the option to upgrade them, to tattered or legendary. (maybe it should be a tier upgrade where you have to pay for the tattered before you can go legendary) (and we might want sails that is locked to a certain look)
This should be according to your pirate reputation. Making tattered an option once you’ve gotten at least 15 promotions in either one faction or spread out in all the factions. While the legendary cut requires you to be pirate legend.
(the tattered look could also have some other kind of requirement, where you have to unlock it by achieving a minimum amount in the game, less than becoming a pirate legend though.
Unless tattered should be a pirate legend unlock, and the legend look only is available when you max out your rep in Athena)
However, this should not be free. And I would suggest that making this customization to your sails should either be a one-time purchase for all sails, for each option other than the standard. Or you pay for each sail you want to upgrade to the different cuts, so you just need to pay for the once you actually want to use and not all.
But instead of making this another gold sink, I was thinking of making this a thing you have to pay doubloons.
So I’d say if individual maybe make the price as such
Tattered upgrade: 100 doubloons
Legendary upgrade: 250 doubloons
But for a one time purchase for all sails maybe make the price as such
Tattered upgrade: 5000 doubloons
Legendary upgrade: 10.000 doubloons
Id Like to hear you guys ideas to this addition to this commonly topic on the forum, as I feel it might be more realistic, but I can also be really wrong xD
