A few ideas

MA - hunting! Bears/sharks/boars etc bring back the pelt/trophy to the trader

Fishing - an often requested feature

Different traders having different values for the items so you literally can become a trader -eg. buy a crate of cannonballs at Golden Sands and sell them at Plunder

OOS - give skulls “abilities” like the 2 special chests have.

Megaladon/monster skulls or bones can also be offered as quests.

Receive requests for say “the potion of forsight” (could have any name) then go out and retrieve the ingredients to make the potion - bats/particular skulls/flowers etc

GH - more chest variety!

• For MA i would like to see a merchant road quest: You buy with golds items at an outpost and the price of an item is tied to the outpost (ex: i bought item x at 100 gold at sanctuary and i can sell it for 200 at Ancient spire, we need an economy for this game, a market or trade system would be nice) + hunting bigger foe (boar, big crab, pearl from clams etc...)
• For OoS i'd really like to see boss quest. Getting to a pirate lord hideout (as a dungeon maybe?) and get a complex fight (phases, patterns etc...)
• For GH i want the ability to find some pieces of map (that i can maybe trade with other crew?) that once you complete it give you a special map with special rewards (loot, cosmestics... whatever).

One system I've always liked was in games like Elite Dangerous where you had to keep an eye on the market, see what goods are good to sell where.

Now I dont expect a complicated system for this in SoT but it would be nice to buy some items at outpost A and deliver them to outpost B for a profit (getting some rep for the profit), now I must add since it's a simple A to B affair I'd say make the rep gain really low since you're not challenging yourself.
I myself find midless trading thereputic and I can totally see if people don't like it, but it's not hard to code and you can even tie piracy into it where a good can be stolen and sold, the person buying it would pay like 1000 for it it would sell for 1500 so a pirate would get 1500 but the merchant would get only 500 for it and lose 1000 if he lost that cargo (risk reward thing)

Order of Souls could give you a specific compass (in the map slot in stead of a map) that points to a cursed treasure. You'd need to follow the compas and the treasure could be in a deep cave or underwater or maybe both, maybe in a shipwreck who knows. It's one of those things that can set you on an adventure and you'll never know where you're going except the general direction.

@laughsmaniacaly How about the GH tasks you with breaking a curse that seals a chest?

• This could mean, you have to travel to certain islands to get ingredients for him to lift the spell. (just a couple of objects you need to find an interact with, randomly placed)
• You could get the chest from the vendor and perform some specific actions at specific places to break the spell. Like playing music in the cavern below Mermaid's Hideaway.
• You could need to find the remains of the captain or crew that cursed the chest and defeat them with the chest being nearby. (The chest could be the trigger to spawn them.)

Higher levels could combine these or have the crew-members you need to defeat scattered over multiple islands. Hints on how to break the seal should be on the chest itself in order to not render the chest useless if someone steals it. Maybe Mr. GH Vendor put a sticky note on it. The value should match the increased effort.

@szawel123 sagte in New Voyage types.:

Bounty hunter quest: Randomly pick a player you have to assasinate, you get the island he WAS last time and about 3 days to find it and kill it.

Bounty Hunter quest has 2 problems.

• Your quest fails if the player logs out/changes the Server
• It does affect other players in serious manner. Many people dislike being chased for an hour. So much outrage, I can feel the disturbance through time and space. ^^

@laughsmaniacaly added the quote to my post to make more what I was referring to

@crimsonraziel Your idea for ingredients make me think of a new foe that we can (already) encounter on islands

if you get too close the carnivorus plant attack and upon death she give you ingredients (seeds, plants whatever...)

@nikinjapan Fishing has always been stated to be on their to-do list. In fact they hope to get it out before the Forsaken Shores update. Additionally boars (both skeletal and normal) have been shown in the concept art book along side other new creatures and variants including skeleton sharks and barracudas (and their skeleton counterpart).

Likely the barracudas will lurk in ship wrecks. As an individual who has had some experience with fishing, such locations are often common spots for them; even nearly lost my left hand to one in the Gulf Coast because I reached into the water to grab my line and recent catch (a Spanish mackerel). Took off the mackerel's body from the gills down though.

@laughsmaniacaly Ahah! Yeah you can make it grow in your boat and feed it chickens... or pirates! lol (The bigger the plant the better the price ;) )

@sargent-sully I think if they introduce fishing in the game it will definitively be an event, so maybe 2 weeks before/after forsaken shore.
