This might be an idea for a future season:
Ok, stay with me on this one;
In addition to your regular amount of gold you get from the Gold Hoarder, Order of Souls and Reaper voyages when you cash in your loot, You'll get an extra percentage (say 5%) for every chest, trinket, and skull you turn in; and that percentage is stashed in your secret hideout, hidden on any one of the islands in the world of the Sea of Thieves. (Like Glitterbeards hideout) You can only earn the gold while on a voyage from the GH, OOS, or Reaper.
The trick is to keep your gold safe by having:
- A complex set of clues to where your hideout is and
- Acquire the key to enter your hideout. (Yes, like the fort keys) The more voyages you accept, and the longer your hideout remains a secret, the more extra gold you have to spend at the shops.
"How do I get the clues to your hideout?" you ask.
Easy; The Gold hoarders are offering hefty rewards as well as the OOS and of course the Reaper will stop at nothing to loot your hideout!
I think this might be a nice incentive for more voyages. and it will go on for just the duration of the season to keep things from getting too heavy.
Thoughts are welcome!
