If we can use ingredients not yet available, what will they be, how are the acquired and how rare.

Gems- mined, won , stolen - there are many suggestions on gem stones

Eye of newt - mission - easy but time consuming - must re-run mission each time - something like an actual fleet must take x number of crew to a specific port. They hunt in that port for Newts. Best ports change and should be noted somewhere. Maybe in the Tavern

Mermaid Tears - must go fishing in specific- global events posts weekly what port mermaids have been spotted in. must get x amount of fish from that port and you are awarded mermaid tears.

Kraken scales - if someone attacks you with a kraken you are awared 1 kraken scale.

Tooth of leviathan - if someone attacks you with a leviathan you are awarded 1 leviathan tooth.

Daughter - must be at 100 affinity and walking on clouds - then you can sacrifice her - once she is used you must win her back again

Ship - must be a specific type of ship with a certain att level - something very specific say a 42 att regular merchantman -


I would say you could potentially open an ingredient exchange as well.

These are just a few examples - I am open to suggestions for more

I like the gems, mermaid tears, newts, leviathan teeth! I haven't heard if Captain Jack is interested in this idea but I think it sounds fun. It 100% makes sense that some ingredients require a searching/gathering quest.

Could 10 unused voodoo cards by crystallized into a gem for crafting?

Could these ingredients be sold on the voodoo market to other players?
I imagine they could be implemented exactly as if they were just more voodoo cards except their "rarity" is "voodoo ingredient". That way programming them into the voodoo market is trivially easy because the database already treats them as voodoo cards.

Other ingredient ideas: wild mushrooms (more easily found in eastern ports), rabbit's foot (most ports, best on Vaasburg's continent), Poisonous toads (North East continent only), squid eye, nautilus shell, cuttlefish bone, black rose (hardest to find)

-Captain D

P.S. The searching/gathering quests should require turns to complete, not 12 hours of a fleet's time. We have seen what large players can do with 200+ fleets searching for shipwrecks. Requiring turns would better limit the supply. Otherwise the price of mermaid tears would be 100 gold coins since stockpiling would be simple.

You have missed out a most important ingredient : Donkey's Tears, found only in the most secret lost stables of the former Mexican Empire.

Donkey's Tears? I thought Donkeys of the Mexican Empire never cried!

Dont be silly : we dont waste donkey poo on plants : we package it in fancy pots and sell it to the daft folk of Egypt as skin moisturizer : they love it and as they all stink anyway, we get rich and they get a fake tan!

I'm hoping Captain Jack reads this topic and tells us if he is considering this sort of thing. Implementing them as a new "rarity" of voodoo card would hopefully not be too complex.
