Ahoy!
I really like sailing in Sea of Thieves, it feels great. Something very rewarding to me when sailing with other friendly ships is to manage to sail close together at the same speed. That’s why I thought recently that it could be interesting to make quests involving this.
I came up with an idea :
Sometimes in calm water, would breach to the surface a giant turtle (it could be a different creature, but it has at least to be moving).
This turtle, most of the time, swim very deep under water and because of all the ships getting sinked above, a lot of things would drop on its back (chests, skulls, wooden planks, cannonballs, artefacts, etc). That wouldn’t actually happen physically in the game, it’s just for the lore.
When the turtle would breach to the surface, you can sail along to it, but you have to be really careful because if you touch it with your ship it would go straight down into the deep. When close enough and matching speed, you can jump on it and loot its back. There will be a limited time before the turtle goes back into the deep.
There could be more complexity with the turtle going under water and breaching further away, a complex path, etc.
Here’s a rough drawing for a better understandind of my idea:
What do you think of it?
And also I would like to know what are your ideas of quests involving sailing?
