First, this is a beta and skull chest aren't technically broken, need fixing or otherwise. They are what they are.
This is not a request to do anything to skull chests, but a fun commentary on them.
I think eveyone agrees the skull chests can be better. I'm confident that when the game goes full, that the loot issues will be balanced. Some say the loot is better in skulls when sailing. I don't agree as I think it's just better odds because one sees three four or more skull chests on one manifest a lot while sailing whereas on land one sees chests maybe every 20 or so kills.
Although I'm at a loss to explain why with a level 4 fortune hunter ship with maxed treasure sense and a famed treasure sense medallion, I rarely see skull chests on my 'stuffed to the gills' manifests.
The adrenaline and excitement I get when a skull drops with perceived high anticipation is constantly mooshed down by reality of a skull chest with less in it than the loot pouch next to it. lol
That said, I KNOW pirates are getting weak, sad skull chests and I'd like to see them too. We can't do anything about the loot balance, and it's not probably an important priority at this time and that is understandable, BUT in the meantime, I'm going to start with the lamest skull chest I've battled for first.
It doesn't matter if on land or by sea. The skull chest just has to be so sad to almost bring tears to your tired and weary pirate eyes.
Here's just a few of mine. Beat these babies.
