Item/Equipment Wishlist for Hunt and Snare.

[Decepticrew32]

So I've been a fan of this game for quite a while, bought it on steam when I seen it on one of my romps on the internet, and I've been eagerly awaiting for new updates, and following the progress updates that are posted. That in mind, I've heard throughout these forums that crew management, clock, compass and more will be added in upcoming features. So if I could say what I think would be beneficial to the game.. it would be this list:

Equipment:
We have pipes and smoking items in the game, it would be neat to be able to attach it to our player's mouth! The Howlerpipe looks super fancy and I wouldn't mind it at all.

Binoculars or Telescope, you can't be a great sailor without these! I know of a few times that a magnifying scope would have been extra useful in hunting wild bred, looking for chests, secrets or places that aren't on the map.

Shoes! We have a shoe slot and I'm definitely looking forward to what will go here, as well as more neck options like necklaces, a compass hanging from the neck, maybe a flask of sorts?

Consumables, food, drink, stuff for our pipes, etc! I'd like to see like buffs or special commentary for things like the Skiian Peach, Rower's Finest/Bottom, Skiir's Milk, Exotic Fruits from Kizan, etc.

More "Upper Ear" piercing slots? Like for industrial bars, studs, rings, etc! Or even maybe lip piercings for added coolness, I may or may not have a Davh that I put all the jewelry on and I want him to look even better.

Hats! The Bicorn hat is good, but a Tricorn hat in multiple styles would be cooler? Scraven style, Dragonfleet style, different colors, maybe even straw hats and bonnets for the lasses!

Glasses perhaps? Monocles, masks, reading glasses, I know it was talked about in another discussion but definitely agree with it!

Larger Equipment:

Rowboats added with sailing? Would be useful on Skiia and maybe KIzan for getting to places a little faster than swimming.

Larger Camps or maybe buildable/buyable Chests for Crew Camps for additional item space? I love how much space there is already, but I feel like there's always room for.. More!

Beds to Ship when Ship Customization comes, and added "perks" to renting an Inn room to make Inns still an attractive choice for the Drakes? Of course the benefit to sleeping in an Inn is being closer to the action/town/wilderness to hunt, but when Ship customization happens I hope Beds are added because my Davh is sleeping on the floor most trips!

Climb up the Ship! Okay maybe not an equipment so much as a feature but the ladders already do the function of this in practice, so looking towards the rigging where the Crow's Nest is and spawning up there would be an awesome addition, and could also be used later for a Lookout Crewmate?

Customize Figurehead when Ship Customization happens. Just as a suggestion, don't wanna spoil any surprises if the Dev team are working on this already!

Already Existing Items:

Those Flints could use some looking at, maybe need to have one for the Pipe to light it and make smoke come from it or to smoke the plants through it?

Dice could be used for when the proposed Casino Customization comes to the Ship and you can gamble with specific dice for different games? Or even play with some Crew/NPCs for fun.

Scarabs like the Iron, Malachite and more could be sent in to the Scarab Lass that's researching bugs, for a small reward that's above the value from the traders for more incentive to go out to her? Or even a quest tied to it!

Davh Whistles would be awesome (if fixed) to help hunt in the Amber Woods to attract Wild Bred to you?

Silver Nuggets, being able to have a Smelter at a town later on to turn them into Bars that can then be made into Silver Piercings and such?

That's all I can really come up with right now, please comment below for your ideas!

Glad you like it! <3

I definitely like the ideas for decorative items player could "wear" like the pipes. Will have to think about it! Glasses and such will definitely be a thing in future, but they'll need a separate slot for sure. A lot of people have mentioned it is a shame you can't use a mask and a hat at the same time ^^

Binoculars/spyglass; Not sure yet! Might not be technically feasible for spying on prey because of how our spawners work at the moment, but at least for looking into distance and leave markers or such? Maybe ^^

Shoe slot definitely needs shoes, yeah, and neck slot is awfully unused at the moment!

Some item consumables would be fun for sure, and it could be bind to various special foods and such. Not sure yet!

Literally more piercing slots higher up in ears? Mebbe. Will definitely consider it in future. I'd personally like ear tip piercings ^^

More hats for sure!

Likely no rowable "rowboats". A lot of the islands won't be traversable via water (as in, you could only go around the islands), but *maybe* more fast travel options in future to limit having to go to same place again in the slowest fashion ^^

Likely no buildable camps/upgradeable crew camp. Not sure yeet. Interesting idea though! ^^

I think one big benefit, in the long term, with inns and rentable beds is that they're in different locations. Of course with Skiia and Kizan (top) there's not too much benefit because ship is in port, but on other islands the inn isn't necessarily by the entrance ^^

The ship definitely needs ability to get up to the crow's nest, though I've seen people glitch up there too x)

Figurehead will most likely be swappable to a different one(s)

Items in general need more interactivity that's for sure. Not sure if there'll be actual functionality for the flint as such though ^^

Not sure yet, but I can see how it could be fun ^^

She is part of a quest nowadays, aren't she? I think she's more interested in living bugs than scarabs though!

Interesting idea, though might be a bit too powerful xD

Not sure. I kinda don't want to add crafting per se into the game, I don't feel like it adds enough to it, but it would be easy to make as a mod ^^

Thank you for the suggestions! <3

Flints could be used for "activating" abandoned camps if they will be added at some point. Like gather some wood and light campfire using flint. Without it in your inventory you can't do that so you can't sleep and pass time there.

Yeah, that could be one use for it, or lighting torches in some other place ^^

One idea for the camping was that you'd need a food ration to sleep and pass time, but it could be combined too, or just one or the other ^^

Bag of hardtacks, some jerky and a waterskin. 2-4 uses. And an unlimited flint and steel. That would be perfect and will fit the world.

edit: And a waterskin can be an item like a lantern, belt-carry.

I would love for there to be a way that allows one to roam around as a feral version of their character. It's just a thought I would find cool to try.

More piercing slots and ear tip piercings? I would be all for that. x3

Would like to have skirts, corsets' long dresses too

Being able to use the static spyglasses would be cool too (like the ones on Kizen).

What's the rubbish used for, or is it used for nothing? i.e corroded iron, broken bottles e.t.c

It is just "annoyance" item. You occasionally do get useful things in trash cans too tho! ^^

I collected a ton of string [because cat] and i thought it was funny that they stack up to 69.

In my opinion, the pipe smoking and drinking should go into the game. I envision it working similar to acts, for example at a tavern after buying a round the yellow hologram appears seated at a table saying "have a drink". Then you enter the act, there's an animation of you getting drunk that you can enjoy as long as you like and then exit. You could even have crew members drink with you! I don't know that pipe smoking would work this way, seems having a mouth slot and just attach it to the character would work fine and be easier, but having an animated sequence of packing, lighting and puffing on it would be cool.

Anyway, my answer to any inventory item related potentials is to work in an animated act if possible. There's lots of possibilities and I wouldn't mind more SFW content that I can put on my YouTube channel to make the game look interesting.
