Trident and new Emissary Weapon feature

    So this suggestion is about two new features the weapon and a weapon that also features the emissary system, please read all the pros and cons before jumping to conclusions..

    So to explain you get a trident from a new Trading company (Order of the Deep) they are basically the mer(you interact with water pool at outpost) So equipping this trident puts emissary on you the player as you do activity's in the Siren shrines your trident gains power as your emissary level increases rank 1. Underwater breathing 2. Call shark to help you, 3.Coral shield 4. Call Megaladon to attack boat 5. Call Kraken to attack boat.

    Using a power lowers your Emissary power and therefore also your Tridents power

    Now as a reminder reapers can see you, you also can't server hop full power as you would need to redo the shrines to get the emissary rank from scratch e.g sail to shrines and get the rank up.

    Even though reapers can find you, in a way you want that to get the major reward you have to feed the Kraken a reaper or someone you killed maybe at rank 5 level so in keeping with the game it's not all goody two shoes.

    Hope you like the idea and hope it can give players the sense of mythology of the sea as example Posideon etc.. and also a new start of emissary weapons. So it does not just have to be your boat.

    Sounds imaginative. One huge problem is the call Kraken part. Servers can't handle too much activity which is why only one kraken appears between world events.

    I'm beginning to not buy into this notion. It's been used as an excuse against ideas since before Seasons started....yet since Seasons, they've added....

    6 underwater shrines
    Edit: 3 underwater treasuries
    6 Sea Forts

    @stormycoire Regarding your idea, it's definitely neat. I ASSume that this would mean that coral loot would need to be turned into this new trading company? Or what's the purpose beyond just gaining powers.

    @sweetsandman It's not about the gold it's the glory 🙂...well since I have done all the shrines it would not be about turning in the coral loot but the gems the mer would find use of them. Also the pools of water at the Outposts would be where you would collect a Voyage from the Mer to the Shrines, what I like about this is you have part pve and PvP in these voyages you can do especially the part where I can feed a reaper or other player to a Kraken if I beat them.

    1. don’t need it
    2. sharks helping? No thanks
    3. coral shield? No thanks
    4. which boat?
    5. which boat

    If 4 and 5 refer to your own nobody is gonna wanna deal with that.

    @burnbacon 4 and 5 enemy boat, 1-3 don't use it then it's open world your choice, but I suspect your trying to make that choice for others or you skimmed my post without reading it properly because the concept is balanced with risk. You could say the same of Siren shrines and sea forts, why put any new content at all then?

    Only 3 treasuries, but i guess the giant Coral Fortress is basically a treasury for the PotC cursed gold

    I think there is an idea here for sure.

    Giving small buffs to higher Emi grades could encourage people to use them...although the Kraken and Meg seem a bit OP.

    I'm thinking:

    Gold Hoarders: 2- Free collectors chest, 3- Special Golden Cannonballs from GH for purchase, flies less distance but makes a larger hole, 4- 5- Emissary Quest

    OoS: 2- Free collectors chest, 3- Cursed Cannonballs for purchase from OoS, 4- Cursed Planks, repair a bit slower, but requires more cannonshots to break. 5- Emissary Quest

    MA: 2- Free Storage Crate, 3- High tier food (cooked meat) available for purchase, 4- Merchant Business sails, grants speed boost, 5- Emissary Quest

    RB: 2- Free Storage Crate, 3- Cannonballs and Wood available for purchase, 4- Crate of Damned Cannonballs, 5- See emissaries on map

    AF: 2- Free Rowboat, 3- Firebombs and Blunderbombs available for purchase, 4- Athena's Chainshot, special chainshot that prevents repair for a short period of time. 5- Emissary Quest
