[Suggestions] Hunter's Call Update + New Curses + World Event

    Hunter's Call has been dry for awhile now and I feel like everyone would love new curses. I'll first talk about some ideas about some new Hunter's Call content then finish it with some curse ideas.

    • Increse Hunter's Call maximum to 75 and add a Hunter's Call Emmaisary

    • Actual Content update: Add a new type of voyage called "Hunting Voyages" where you get clues of a location of a buffed up sea monster like Meg or Kraken. Make different variations of the voyage that scales off of your Hunter's Call reputation for example at level 15 you unlock "Hunting Of The Hungering" and level 30 "Hunting Of The Kraken" the higher level in the voyage you go the better loot and risk you will face. For the actual voyage you do something similar to the Ship Wreck Merchant ones where you need to go around the map and find the carnage of the thing you're Hunting, until you find it and you're put into a boss fight. For the rewards you could make it drop new items like "Megladon Teath" that sells to the Hunter's Call for increase rep and money. Along with standard items like Barnacle chests, skulls, mermaid gems, and fish.

    • Bonus Rewards : Add rewards for the first time completing each one for example, after compliance "Hunting Of The Hungering" 1,5,10,15,20,30 times you get Title, Outfit, Equipment, Weapons, Ship set, and a curse

    • Curses: So after you complete each voyage 30 times for example you unlock a "Beast Curse" the Megalodon curses will turn your skin the color of the Megalodon as well as add a fin and gills to your character. The Kraken curse will turn one of your arms into a tentacle, one of your eyes into a Kraken's eye, and cover your body into ink.

    •World event : To introduce this you could start up a new type of world event that spawns a buffed monster at a random part of the map that the entire server can go hunt down to claim the rewards. This world event could have the previous rewards with some extra along with stuff like reaper's chest and Athena loot.

    •Extra : A ashen Meg and Kraken for the Devil's Roar : A rarer variation of the Meg and Kraken that can only spawn on the Devil's Roar that have new features like the Meg setting your ship on fire when it bites or the Kraken throwing fire rocks instead of its grab

    •Conclusion : I feel like all of this would not only expand the open world but make people actual like the Hunter's Call instead of it just kinda existing as well as add more customizing options for all players.

    Definitely agree Hunters Call is long overdue for new content.

    Emmisary would be cool but just imagine if we got voyages.

    It would be really cool if we had like legendary variants of fish added to the game, voyage sends you on a hunt for the fish and has you catch fish at a few places before sending you to a spot that will have the legendary fish to try to catch. Could have a ghost wrecker, a skeletal battlegill, ect. Legendary fish are always a fun thing to go for in games with fishing content, like Final Fantasy XIV where they have a special category of fish in the game called Big Fish that have special names and descriptions.

    Or if we could get an Aquarium trinket that had a fish swimming around on our ship.

    @sparkymagus Would like that aquarium to be available at the Outposts too, not just on the ship. Would be awesome seeing the fish you catch swimming in there.

    @sparkymagus I didn't even think about fishing Voyages that would be awesome, there's just so much they could do with it

    I would say sinxe they are on a kick with pets, have a pet ghost fish that swims around after you, unlocked via level whatever Hunters call.

    Fishing voyages, emissary, and more would be cool, sorta surprised it hasnt happened yet.

    Hunter's Call quests and Emissary opportunities are a no-brainer, and yet they don't exist. One can dream.

    @rikjaxx I agree. It's too bad there's complaints that giving Hunters their own flag would make them targets of the Reapers, but most of them just shoot everyone anyway, even fellow Reapers. Maybe they can be discouraged if Hunter Flags aren't worth much to the Reapers in the first place.

    I wish I could like the post twice, I love huge parts of this. I think there's real legs to a lot of ideas. With a dash of refinement and polishing from the Dev team this really could be something.

    @imauwu All good, except: "...where you get clues of a location..." the spawns are random and need to stay that way.

    Amazing idea! I would love to see raw chicken, pork, and snake being used as bait in order to catch small sharks. If you complete the trinket requirements you can get a shark jaw wall trinket. Also the ship crest found on port merik with the shark jaw.

    Edit: also for the ashen kraken, maybe replace the suck in feature with a flame breath out of the tenticle.

    The guild emissary flag could act as a hunter's call emissary flag. I know it's not perfect but successfully cooking meat will actually raise your guild emissary grade. I haven't attempted to catch a fish with a guild emissary flag yet so I don't know if that increases your emissary grade. With enough fishing and cooking, you could eventually earn a grade 5 guild emissary flag and recieve 175% gold selling fish and meat to the Sovereigns. It's most certainly not great way to make money or rep, but it could still benefit any fisherman out there.

    @testakleze I used my guild emissary for the exact purpose! I think that the whole purpose of a hunters call emissary though would be a ledger that comes with a new set of rewards. I think at this point people want to see more fun things to do added to hunters call, and don’t really care about money or rep.
