Stores and Seaposts!

  • One thing I hate about both Stores and Seaposts in the game is how irrelevant they become after you buy their cosmetics. Seaposts especially only offer a 10% discount on their items making them almost completely pointless.

    With the olde mechanic of items being region locked no longer being present, it means they need some love. Desperately.

    So here's a simple idea to make them just a bit more relevant:


    The Black Market Archive is a strange concept. The sale has ended but we got a warehouse still full? Wouldn't it make more sense for the Bilge Rats to sell their outdated stock to the various store owners?

    Stores would now stock old Black Market Archive items, but at a premium (much like the price of the Scurvy Bilge Rat set). After each Black Market sale, they would be stocked in the various stores for people to buy.

    Seaposts are trickier. Let's start with bumping up that 10% discount to 50% for starters. Then, have them also stock items from the Black Market Archive.

    Now for a potentially controversial part: Have a select list of previous time limited cosmetics that CAN appear in the seaposts. Make the chance about... 1 Shrouded Ghosts worth, maybe 2. And make the list limited to items that didn't require a lot of effort or special conditions.

    Or if Rare is so inclined, include a limited list of emporium items such as the free giveaway items.

    I know some suggestions here will irk those who worked to get these time limited cosmetics, but let's be honest... how many Shrouded Ghosts have you seen? And would you really care if people had a 24 minute opportunity to buy your Time Limited Boots?


    Suggest anything else to make these places worth visiting again.

  • The only thing I disagree with here is the 50% discount, which I believe to be too much. I would make it 25%, if even that...

  • I dought that rare giving pirate emporium cosmetics away for free is a bit unrealistic

  • @doomscorp They already have, time limited and free Emporium items have been available.

    @Galactic-Geek I dunno, at 25% why even have a discount... items are already cheap and the Seaposts only have 3 at a time.

  • They were free. Said to much gtg bye

  • I'm down for better deals and expanded stock. Seaposts are one of my favorite places grab a quick 1055 and have a peak around from the crows nest.

  • Love this idea of spreading out the Bilge Rat schmutz to the stores and seaposts. Make Bilge lady more focused on newer events and items.

  • @captn-reaver im cool with everything but bringing the old time limited stuff back. it needs to remain locked.

  • @captain-coel said in Stores and Seaposts!:

  • I think Rare should put cosmetics back the way they were, with certain cosmetics at certain Outposts.

    Perhaps they could release a new set that can only be found and pieced together at the Sea Posts?

  • @captain-coel I don't mind having the time limited cosmetics available if the rarity is high enough.

    Exclusivity is good, but it wouldn't bother me if someone got my time limited lantern cuz they checked a seapost in the 24 minute time it was available.

    Not the newer or harder to get cosmetics of course, just bits and pieces of time limited events.

    If rare is so inclined, they could even add in a limited selection of pets for those who are super lucky.

  • @galactic-geek I really want them to go back to that way. Store exclusivity made sense and made adventuring to outposts interesting.

  • @captn-reaver i can the reddit posts now. Bonecrusher figurehead for sale. next 12 min only. venmo me 5$

  • @captain-coel Better than the ferryman pack going for $400 on ebay.

  • @mferr11 is it though? i think both are bad.

  • The Shrouded Ghost doesn´t exist!! It is a myth from the devs to sell more T-Shirts!

  • @captain-coel That's a really good point... Mayeb it would be best to keep the time limited stuff exclusive for this reason.

    A selected list of emporium items though would be a lot better, considering if youre gonna pay someone to join their crew you may as well pay to buy the item outright.
