----==Bejeweled Treasure==----
New treasure that is awarded from completing Gold Hoarder clues
These could appear as rare rewards from other activities such as Forts, Skeletons Ships, Megalodon and Kraken.
---=The Goal=---
--To further incentivise and reward Clue Completion, which higher end players often ignore in favor of far more lucrative, faster and simpler X maps.
----=Concept 1=-------
--Uncommon or Rare reward from the end of a clue that is worth 2.25x that of a regular chest.
a 900 gold Captain's Chest would award 2025 gold as an example. This is slightly more than an Ashen Chest, which is worth 2x I believe.
The chances for a Bejeweled chest increases with the amount of clue steps.
Devil's Roar clues would yield a higher chance to dig up higher tier Bejeweled Chests!
This may be too much as a Bejeweled Captains Chest would yield a greater monetary reward than a Stronghold Chest!
----=Concept 2=-------
--High chance, if not guaranteed to be awarded from clue completion that is worth 50% more than a regular chest.
a 900 gold Captain's Chest would award 1170 - 1350 gold as an example. A sizable but not unreasonable increase, an in between of Ashen and normal chest values.
---=Other Rewards=---
--New Gold Hoarder commendation and title, 'Hoarder of Bejeweled Gold' as a unique reward for collecting the new chests!
----Garb of the Bejeweled Seeker----
Alternative coloured Black Dog set, with pieces being unlocked for purchase as each grade of commendation is unlocked.
This allows players who did not preorder the game to obtain a set with the same model but with unique colouring. This makes the model available to other players via in game methods. A unqiue reward that would be very easy to implement as it would require no new models or rigging!
Players that currently have the black dog set to would continue to own their uniquely coloured set, so they would continue to be unique.
The reason I chose this set is because it's encrusted with gems! Another set encrusted with sapphires or rubies would fit perfectly with the theme of these chests, and would prove an excellent way to show off your accomplishments as a clue treasure hunter.
--Other Notes--
Bejeweled Ashen Chests from Devil's Roar clues?.. that'd be little over the top.
Chest models are slightly altered compared to normal chests in a similar vein to Ashen chests, an easy way to add more loot variety.
Grog and Tear chests are not affected, but I still believe their values are long overdue to be increased!
