Stingy Rewards from Ships

Only once out of probably 20 runs did we have a really nice haul like you used to could get every 3 or 4 times out.

Funny... went back out last night, same place, sinking the same ships and had a completely different experience. One haul we got royal after royal after royal (10 total). I thought I'd found the end of a rainbow. The captains share in that run totaled 1,617 in gold.

The only thing different was the server as our usual ocean was crowded with people yesterday.

Its apparently pretty random, but I still think they've reduced the odds of finding the better treasures. Im OK with that, its just always a little difficult to adjust to a change after you've grown accustom to something different (for me anyway).

I usually sail solo in my Sloop and take down medium levelled ships. If I stay that course, I usually dock with about 200 gold in booty...maybe 2 royal treasure chests (6 total slots for cargo hold). That usually takes about 20 minutes.

Granted, I am not trying to get a War-anything ship. I enjoy being a mid-level pirate...a right First Mate. I will leave all that macho-posturing, chest-pounding, more-hair-on-yer-back-than-on-yer-head strutting to the Wanna-be Cappys out there.

Besides, First Mates are tasked to loading, unloading, and watching the Rum. Aye...I will quite happy being <hic> the bleeding First Mate <hic>!

Get Treasure sense.

It varies but I usually rake in 200-600 per haul.
