seriously you ask the best luck in game item that went out in a dungeon event to be given so easy....black market should be deco and low end stuff so easy to get and there is already thousands of cargo stashed from abusing ejs account ready to claim rewards

After a certain amount of time, yes there should be other means to get them or recycle old rewards more often.  This is one of the biggest draw backs to UO not being able to get old rewards/mounts.

Random suggestions:

More boat paints
An eyepatch
Pirate music box + sea shanty songs
Orc costumes of various models
"Counterfeit" variations to some other previous artifacts. Counterfeiting might fit with the pirate theme?
Tokens which when redeemed unlock new pirate-themed tilesets for house customization


Probably too many new assets here if they aren't already in the game. Maybe some of these things already exist, in fact. :P

The deco from Halloween event Pirate Ships. Skett and I posted that at the same time. He showed the pic tho.
 
More items for the lockdown on the Britannia ship.  A Jolly Roger flag would be an example. Some seats.  Other items that you come up with that are cool. 

EC can have a pirate look with an eye patch, but an eye patch modified bandana would be cool, make a metal and cloth version.  Would be used as a transmog target.

A top hat that can be used as a transmog target.  Put a skull and cross bone on the hat front that's white, the remainder of the hat could be dyed after transmog.

All the items Loop said are good.

New whips with a single various non imbuable stats that can be imbued with 5 other stats or with DI and imbued with 4 other stats.

Another cannon style.

Sail paint that could include a design, or OMG sail replacement with another type for Orc and Brit ships.

A Trawler attachment to a ship.  For McD.

Seeds for plants that grow on the shore of islands, beaches, estuaries etc. 

4 to five styles of wave and water tiles for our houses!


Thanks!

Depending if it's permanent or not:
  • For the tamers - a reskinned rideable version of the triton (Perm)
  • (New?) Pirate hat / orc mask with luck mask stats (Temp)
  • "Stolen" MIBs which work just like regular MIBs - range from level 1 to ancient (Perm)
  • "Blackbeard's Map" - Random facet hoard map
  • Blank SC rum bottle for transmog (Perm)
  •  "Shanty's ship's hold crate" - Acts like a gardenshed does in a house that can only be placed in a ship's hold (1x per hold) (Perm)
  • GARGOYLE LOVE! Soul Glaive / earrings / stone amulet with viable stats (if you are interested in this route happy to provide stats but will be similar stats to the like scholars halo or balron armor) (Temp)
  • 30 SDI spellbook with "sea slayer" type of property that would work on mobs we will encounter. Ideally it would work on krakens/pirates too. If that's too hard just make a spell book like the horselord is with Repond (for orcs) & 1 other random slayer either element (water eles) or reptile (sea serps) (Temp)
  • 190 luck exceptional (imbuable) fishing pole (Perm)

#14
I will shamelessly list my wish list :p
  • Bane dragon (I will name my first born @Kyronix if we get bane bunnies with bane dragon stats)
  • 250 luck mask/hat/etc.
  • Horn color/ring/etc socket for gargoyles.
  • Mount that gives luck (if we have damage reduction mounts, then why not luck?), corresponding item for gargoyles.
  • +60 crafting items for tailoring, carpentry, tinkering. (I want to be able to repair without stressing).
  • +20 scrolls for carpentry and tinkering (55% fail rate, with talisman, when filling bods is too much).
  • Special pet food that changes the color of the pet either permanently or temporarily.
  • Ability to add something like pet castle, hitching post, etc to Britannia ships. (Tamers should be able to swap pets without going to the city/stable)
#15
Seeds that we can grow in a garden bed that produce an edible fruit that can be fed to pets that give the pet the corresponding slayer ability for 10 minutes or whatever time.
#16
A few more options for things that can be locked down on the Britannia ship. 
The shoulder parrot cannot be locked down on the perch which can be locked down.
Table, chairs, gargish couch that can be locked down.
The Halloween garland mentioned above is really nice. 
A small music box that can be locked down with a variety of sea shanty songs. 
A sexy sea wench costume. 
A broom pet costume(sneaking that one in). 
the pumpkin row boat. 
A blunderbuss(shoots canonballs)


#17
Definitely an eye patch that can be transmogged onto like the parrots can be.  This would be a head slot item. 
How about a Jolly Roger Flag that can be added to your ship or like those new guild flags on your castle turret.
Pirate clothes such as striped pants, vest, pirate white poofy laced shirts.
A wooden leg addon.
A small Scalis Statue with sound effects that can be added as cool deco item to your sea rooms.
A treasure map floor rug with an X marks the spot where the treasure is buried.
#18
So many great ideas!!

Sea slayer
 spellbook 
Bow/throwing 
Instruments 


#19
i want that figurehead in deed form, so i can put it at the front of my ship
(from the picture above)

Have it play this song. When your char hears it, they grow hair on their chest.

That should probably be the Ki-Rin. The Ki-Rin is associated with good fortune in mythology. As is, they're surpassed by their female counterpart, the Unicorn (which is completely immune to Poison status).
Or add the magical Liopleurodon as a sea tame (or Luck Statue) that can boost your Luck (or even as a wild creature in the ocean that can boost your Luck like the Sphinx can). He'll show you the way to great loot (just like in Ark)!

So many things listed and most are pretty cool.  What's the chances that many were already on the devs mind?  We will at least feel they listened whether they did or not.  😂
#24
I am not sure if devs are still watching this thread, but it would be nice to be able to buy base rings/bracelets from the black market until runic reforging for tinkerers is added. We can have max SSI ring/bracelet, max SDI ring/bracelet, etc. on the black market. Whatever we cant get on rings/bracelets at the moment can be added to black market as a base ring/bracelet until tinkering runic tools are added?
#25
Im thinkin Flying Dutchman cannon.. a double or triple barrel cannon.. longer prep time of course but can fire shots one at a time or all at once.. maybe just one per ship.. a double or triple barrel cannon on the bow of my orc ship would look soooo cool..

You can buy that on Vendor search. Players trading with each other was designed into the gameplay from day 1, it is a designed mechanism to get items you don't have, just as much as looting mobs, crafting, gifts, doing quests, events, etc.

Why would they put an item on the Pirate that are so plentiful that you can buy on VS?
#27
Since we are talking about an Event pretty much based on Pirates, I would like to see a "special Treasure Map" be given when killing a Dread Pirate with special loot in it, better quality of the regular Trove Treasure Maps loot, perhaps chance at a random Artifact, whatever... but definitely, a Treasure Map where the Pirate had the "good stuff" hidden away...

This, since, I understand, players complain that regular, current Treasure Maps, even Trove ones and with a Luck suit, using +5 Cartography glasses and all the bells and whistles, still yield underwhelming loot, most of which is only good for unravelling....

I mean, I find it odd that Monsters carry Treasure Maps, even high end ones, but NPCs Pirates do not ?

I really hope that this Event will rectify what I personally find as an oddity, and will make NPCs Dread Pirates in UO be able to carry Treasure Maps with a better quality loot of Hoard/Trove Treasure Maps, at least, for the duration of this Event and then, if the Developers will want to make this regular content, they could carry the equivalent of Trove Treasure Maps loot, perhaps, including items which do not spawn in regular Treasure Maps to give to players a reason to do Treasure Maps from Dread Pirates instead of Trove Treasure Maps, for a variation in gameplay....
#28
Instead of UO Store purchases, I believe the new rewards should be from the Bucs Pirate exclusively, thus rewarding those who put in the work on the Seven Seas. 

I like all the suggestions above! I'm always asking for a Jolly Roger flag for ships or perhaps a skull & crossed bones on the sail "decal".  Gloves that show a hook on the shield hand...ramrod that speeds reloading and/or increases damage...ship's longboat with swivel cannon in bow.. tailor recipes for a pirate frock coat, pirate hate w/plume, striped pantaloons...a spyglass (or recipe for) that tells exactly what kind of ship and if it's PC,NPC or Hostile... a Letter of Marque that grants a 50% spawn increase of either merchantmen, pirates or Beacons... an UBWS cutlass with nice mods (and a harpoon version for Gargs)... a grappling hook that works like a tractor beam to pull target ships close and immobilize as you continue firing cannon (I hate chasing down prey!).
#29
I really dislike the idea of purchases for money. Rewards should be earned. I'm old school I guess.

Which made me think of a Crow's Nest where we can mount our Black Market Parrots.

Peg leg pants!

New Cooking Recipes. For example a "Captain Jack's Rum" drink that when consumed grants a Luck bonus for 30 mins (maybe using Ki-Rin Brains as an ingredient, distilling the fortuitous Fey magic into a drink). Increase the duration of all Magical Fish Pies to 30 mins (their duration is too short currently).
Plenty of potential for new Cooking Recipes that could actually be useful. Make a rather dead skill useful again to enough people with the buffs it can provide. Virtually every other MMORPG at this point has useful food buffs as a staple use for everyone.

A battering ram for my ship be nice

@Kyronix - Hi, any chance of adding Solaria's Earrings back into the reward list please.

On Europa, we have a drastic shortage of these, they are already selling at 500m a pair, and we have a lot of pvpers back, trying to gear up. And of course they are Shard Bound, meaning we cannot go elsewhere to get them.

As a comparison, Yukio's Earrings, which had a great drop rate at last Easters event, are now 40m, which I consider an ideal valuation for items.


#37
Can you clarify the black market will get updated and continue to accept cargo?  Then who will we turn hats into?  Will they have different rewards?  @Kyronix ;
#38
since everyone is tagging @kyronix for nothing i will. I really dont think we need to get back old items from past event on this new mini event we need new one please.

When you've had about 15 new players join your guild, who want to pvp, and who need gearing up, it would really help us to be able to get hold of some of these critical items.

On Europa, there are 2 for sale, for between 500m to 1 plat.

This is not cool. New players do not have this sort of gold, and even Vet players have issues getting hold of them due to scarcity.

So I disagree with him being tagged for nothing, this would be really helpful if we could progress our new team.

Ultimately, I am against the whole Shard Bound concept, for this exact reason, and always have been, but I'm not making a fuss about that, I'm trying to find a way to progress anyway.

i dont say they shouldn t add them back in the game ever...this event will be on seas/tmaps/sos so it s not the place to add an elite item that was a dungeon event  one 2 times already.. if they want to reintroduce it it should be again during a dungeon event. let see maybe there will be new pirates earrings you would really like....pirates like to wear earrings @Kyronix
#42
Please add a "Privateer" title to rewards 🙂 
#43
Mini triton statute that hisses at people passing by.
Base rings/bracelets with good stats. I would not even mind paying 200k doubloons for a good base ring with base mod stats. Or they can just add runic reforging for tinkers :P

30 SDI Orc Slayer spell books to help mages kill the orc pirates and plunder beacon crews.  From their absence on VS they appear to have been ultra rare drop during the Invasions.

Reptile was the only "rare" one.  There were just a lot of different single slayers. I have 3 30% orc books.  The Orc book would fit the theme well. It could go on the NPC vendor.

Ability to add some thing like "ankh of sacrifice" to ships. So we dont have to use the I am stuck help option if we die at the sea.

You can still sail when dead
#48
My strategy when dead is to sail to the nearest land and then go find a wandering healer - or use my char's sacrifice virtue once I'm ashore.

Cookie is expressing pretty much verbatim how I think and feel on the topics canvased here.  There are lots of reasons why you might have missed out on these items the first and even second time around. Whether you're a new player, or a player who takes long breaks but will always be back eventually, or a player who at the time of an event didn't have the time to play. Or even a player who was involved in an event but couldn't devote hours and hours to grinding to get as many prizes as they'd have liked.

It's fine to say, well, if you snooze you lose. But then it's made almost impossible for players who are willing to buy these items off other players to find any for sale. Players in large part are keeping these items to outfit their own cast of characters. And why not? 

You tie us to whatever shard is primarily where we store our stuff, no matter how underpopulated and sleepy that shard has become, and then punish us by not letting us find these items elsewhere and travel with them?  

The whole system is at odds with itself. 
We have shard shields available only to veterans of 14 years or more. Right off the bat you're creating a situation where players, new and old, are cut off from the player population and spontaneous game play that could bring players together. 

With so many gamers connected through online chat it makes no sense to me that shard hopping is made difficult and that it's tied to either being a long time vet or you have to be willing to buy a token from the store.  

Wouldn't allowing players to jump on any shard where things are happening in that moment generate more dynamic interest in the game? Wouldn't it bring the population together in a better way? And wouldn't more players getting together be better for the health of the game? And perhaps even bring new players to the game, if those new players could always find something to do and someone to do it with?

And if we do hop around from shard to shard wouldn't it be better if we didn't have to go through our bank boxes, and the gear on our paperdolls, to strip ourselves of shard bound items, then try to put ourselves back together on the shard we're visiting?

It's not too late to unring the bell on shard travel. Or at least change it's tone. Keep the tokens for sale that allow us to pack up and travel with pack animals. But allow shard shields to be first year vet rewards and get rid of the tokens being account bound.  Allow players to sell and trade the shield tokens among themselves. 

And for the sake of all that is holy, get rid of shard bound restrictions on items.

Back to the top of this thread...Those pumpkin headed pirates and their decorated ships were SO MUCH FUN!

That sounds like a good idea or leave shard bound so it can be used by the owner of multi-accounts.  Wish there was a way so that linked accounts could be considered as one account for stuff like this.
#52
Grimbeard said:

I'd rather share equipment between accounts but that'd sure be better than how it is now.

Agree 100%



#53
I'm not sure if this is the "official" thread with the reward ideas but I'd like to suggest a few other things for @Kyronix to consider since dusting off my archer:

  • "Stone" Earrings: 5% SSI and inherent 3% LMC. Would also be fine with just 5% SSI
  • Hooks Earrings: Damage Increase 10% / 10% DCI
  • Archer's Pouch (non equip-able) or Quiver: 75% Weight reduction (arrows/bolts only)
#54
Has anyone gotten the 3 new flags? I'm looking for info on them and haven't found anything.

#55
