Official : Open Sea Adventures & Kraken's Fall RSN!

[Avaia]

Hello everyone, I'm pleased to announce that the first phase of Open Sea Adventures is nearing release. Here is a bit of a primer on what all will be offered.

We're currently in ALPHA testing on the TEST server. If you'd like to participate there are PORTMASTERS in The Landing at the docks, Solhaven, River's Rest, and Teras. Talk to them with some silver to get to the new port, Kraken's Fall. There is some information available on the wiki pages below.
Most of the communication thus far has been in discord, if you'd like to participate, please join us there.

We'll move to BETA testing on the PLATINUM server once most of the remaining items are finished with QC.

Take sail on the Great Western Sea and into the new Tenebrous Cauldron. Gather your friends and set sail on an adventure as you work to raise your reputation and notoriety. Purchase one of 6 ships: Sloop, Brigantine, Carrack, Frigate, Galleon, or Man O’ War. Fight Krolvin Pirates, Ethereal Pirates, and the Dreaded Dark Pirates with the life of you and your crew on the line. Launch your ship into a vast ocean with your crew as you brave the perils of the sea. Will you set sail in a perilous circle, or journey from Darkstone Bay to Kraken’s Fall? Will you cast your lines and take your friends out and avoid all enemy ships? Will you attempt to be the most notorious Captain or Swashbuckler?

No idea how accurate this is, but from what I heard, these can cost up to 500m, I guess for a super maxed out ship, and can still be destroyed.

lol @ that if true.

They largest ships can cost a shit ton, they're also not necessary at all. They can't be destroyed entirely you just have to pay to salvage/repair your ship if you get sunk or whatever.

A huge tsunami appears off the starboard bow!
[SMR result: 147 (Open d100: 232, Bonus: 48)]
The tsunami strikes amidships!
... 75 points of damage!
Massive strike cleaves your Man 'o' War in two!

It seems you have sunk, my friend. As you are pulled beneath the briny waves, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that you have a Simucoin Salvage Ticket available to you.
