The idea seems like a fun little add-on, but is it worth it- or should it just be another buy-able item from the store?
A big thing about this game that you have to think of is the audience- and honestly I'd say that probably around 40% of the players in sea of thieves at the moment are kids. I'm talking like 8-11 year old kids. And while this definitely would be fun to have, I cant even imagine the arguments over "who gets to wear the crown" that these children would have. Just about every time I join an open Galleon within the next ten minutes there's already arguments about who gets to dig up the chests, who gets to fire the cursed cannonballs, which one of them has the better lantern color, they even bicker about which one hit the opponents ship more. "No it was me," "NuH Uh I dID" it gets to be very annoying, that's why at this point I never do open Galleons or Brigs anymore. (I've experienced kids arguing about all of these things multiple times now)
Not saying it's a bad idea at all, just one that could definitely get annoying and after a couple weeks of it being around no one would probably even wear it even as it lost it's excitement. Just some things to think about
I can see your point. Unfortunately i don't think there's anything that can be done. Kids just make thing annoying. This is also why i avoid open crews.

I think it should be a cosmetic piece given for obtaining level 50 in the Gold Hoarders. Those who are already level 50 would receive it. In addition I feel like there should be jewelry such as rings and pendants/necklaces. Essentially a way to boast about one's gold hoarders prestige in style. Would also be nice to see similar items for the other factions. For the merchants it could be in the form of more elegant items or perhaps unique hats with exotic plumes/feathers or outfits with fine silks. For the Order of Souls it could be piercings and perhaps voodoo adornments (one idea is like two skulls that could dangle from a belt).
Not a bad suggestion to add a permenate version of these for the different factions. Althou i doubt the GH will actualy want to give you actual treasure.

I like the idea of collectibles and trophies in the game. Mentioned some of my ideas on that before. Same for jewelry like necklaces and rings.
Could be random drops off the skeletons, especially the metal ones. They have all kinds of gold melted and hardened in them. Some of them even wear crowns.
Would be nice to have sought after items that are tradable. For variety maybe sell these items to the traders at the seaposts. Let them be fences for stolen goods, maybe we could have a chance to steal some these tradable items, and “pawn shops” to sell such goods.
Could be fun to have a crouch and sneak with a lock pick mechanic to steal from a display case on the ship. Would have to be hard to pick it, but possible.
I definitly agree with some of your ideas here and are worth further discussion.

@sargent-sully Great idea! I think idea should be added to the master list @ENF0RCER
I thankyou for your support. Also i have added to the Master List ofcourse.

Adding voodoo would be fun and hilarious! Imaging finding a pirate or skeleton looking voodoo doll as a random item in the world. It would have limited uses, perhaps three.
You would use an emote to atune it to a target. Then you could have options to stick a pin in it, hold it over s campfire to give them hot feet making them dances, or do spontaneous emotes similar to a curse cannonball.
We definitely need more OoS mysticism!
I would agree and is an ineresting topic.

@alexspk13 There could be a radius in which the witch has control of the individual and for a limited amount of time can use a voodoo doll on them and make them do things such as emotes and then it has to have a cool down, can you imagine how great the feature would be though! "Crow! you're gonna have to steer, a witch has control of me!"
@sargent-sully said in Adornments and Ornaments: New wearable and displayable Loot idea.:
@x-crowheart-x Ohh I like that idea. Would also be fun to see voodoo dolls. To prevent them from being "overpowered" perhaps something such as dousing the controller with sea water would be enough to un-attune oneself, such as it were to "dilute" or wash away the blood/hair/etc used to link the individual to the doll.
Would also make for a unique skeleton if given to unique voodoo-inspired skeletons. I do think I recall seeing a tribal/voodoo skeleton lord design in the book.
I think this idea requires it's own topic tread as it seem to be becoming it's own Topic. If one of you guys would like to make and spin off of this so we can have a further discussion that be great. I just ask if you could also add a link back to this post there.
Thanks

I love the doll idea! As a session limited item you could find. Little dolls that have a hat or a coat, etc. If you find a pirate with the same cosmetic, you could pull out the doll and make him dance, sleep, etc. Then it's a comic race to watch him try to get to the clothes chest to change.
Thats a good idea but this deserves it's own Topic.
I'm also fond of the wearable loot idea, mainly because it's non-stealable gold you can carry around on you. Sort of insurance against a session in which you otherwise get trashed and lose everything. If I spend an hour on my sloop collecting chests and chickens, then get wiped by a dastardly galleon, at least I'll have my rings and crown to turn in.
Thats actually an interesting use of these items. I belive them to be stealable while in there Holdable mode but to make them a saveable item by wearing them is an interesting thought since clothes seem to go with you when your sent to the ferry. This maybe more useful for Merchant Pirates then i thought.
