Hello! After some suggesting that I put this here I decided I should follow through with some people's wishes and do just that. Firstly I'd like to submit the reddit link where I first put this idea:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Seaofthieves/comments/8bpro9/new_cursed_chest_idea_chest_of_forever_flame/
This is here simply to show that there was interest (and because one commenter made a pretty cool concept art design for the chest).
THE MEAT OF IT:
The chest of Forever Flame is a new cursed chest with the idea of being forever on fire. The chest is brightly lit making it a very obvious beacon to other ships making it a dangerous chest to keep above deck. BUT WAIT, the chest has more surprises.
The chest is on fire so holding it for too long will begin to hurt you so its best to carry it for a bit and drop it to let your hands cool off - that or bring a friend ("Third degree burns are best taken in shifts"). The burning effect is nullified while swimming with the chest.
While on your ship, this chest will continue to cause mischief. Leaving it unattended will cause the chest to burn occasional holes in the hull. This can be taken care of in one of two ways: 1. Have the chest sit in water, being in water causes the effects of the chest to happen far less often. 2. Throw a bucket of water on the chest. This will temporarily extinguish the chest removing all effects for a bit.
And thats really all there is to it. Happy sailing.
