Rare please fix the merchant crate voyages.
Currently there is no consistent way to do these without finding messages in a bottle which only have a 10% chance of finding these contracts. It doesn't make sense why these contracts were not added during the voyage table overhaul.
Merchant crates
Mysterious Journals are worth looking out for (Rare Thief has the spawn locations). They're still pretty uncommon with them, about on par with bottles, but it's a lot better than relying on bottles alone. The real kicker is when you have some of the comms done and are trying to get certain requisition orders - then you're dealing with RNG x RNG x RNG.
@itz-majman said in Merchant crates:
They have always been extremely rare, since day 1. I don't think they need or will change it now out of nowhere.
Not quite as rare as they are now. The scraps of paper in barrels provided the option for them. I can't believe I let so many of them go to waste because I assumed it was no big deal and I could get them in due time.
Based on my own experience and from what I've seen elsewhere the hit rate for a relavant merchant voyage is around 1 in 10. So 2,500 bottles/journals would be a decent approximation. Which is crazy. Bar the megladon Athena commendations, I can't think of another Trading company commedation that is anywhere close to this level of RNG
The voyages in barrels came way after release though but yes, during that "era" was by far the easiest way of completing it all
