Giant Clams

Most recently saw this mentioned in a post about a diving helmet here https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/75921/diving-helmet-new-item/9

Giant Clams need to be sprinkled around most every island as another form of random loot.

• All underwater.
• Some deeper than others.
• Some buried in the sand only visible by bubbles.
• Others on the floor and visible from a distance.
• Special animated interaction to dig them up, open them.
• Some snap shut on an arm or a leg and require a button mash sequence to break free.
• Some are empty, others have pearls of various worth.
• Every once in a while you'll find a Pearl of the Merfolk. Possibly magic of some kind. Could be a special undersea voyage. Or just worth lots if given to a mermaid.

Basically a simple reason to explore the cool underwater features.

Of course you have my vote sir! One of my other ideas is to have a usable dagger as a weapon we could use to pry these giant clams open!

@x-crowheart-x Agreed, but I'm always considering how to add new content with the fewest amount of new coding hurdles. I'd love a throwable/priable dagger.

It would be nice to see them scattered around like the statues and more importantly actually be able to find a reward from them. Unfortunately the statues have been the cause of performance issues lately. Always seems to be a delicate balance when adding content.

You can get a course of antibiotics to treat "Giant Clams" :)

But in all seriousness, it would be a great addition.
Love any thing that could possibly enliven SoT.
We need more environmental enrichment, more beast/creatures.
Anything that can can deliver a reaction for any action, & to make the game breathe more. Kudos!

They are tricky fellas..... watch your fingers!!!

@enf0rcer Sure and sure.
