Draymoor Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Is it just me or have sealed bottles drop rate been reduced? I haven't fished one up since the the economy patch and I sail a lot in OW.

0 Anolytic Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) I never enable fishing, but I hear clanmembers say they got a new bottle all the time when they are trading or on their way back to port. Totally anecdotally, but to me it seems drop rate has increased. Edited November 19, 2018 by Anolytic
0 Draymoor Posted November 19, 2018 Author Posted November 19, 2018 I guess it's just extremely random.
0 RedNeckMilkMan Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 The chance was reduced when they started giving better rewards. (a few patches ago)

0 SirAlatriste Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Now you can't get it in capital area I think...
0 La bouche Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 I got 3, and one was on shop (😁), not by contracts, it was just there for NPC price! Previous 2, I managed to get in my TLynx (dunno if just luck or, by the new goods weights). One of them was good, other one just regular stuff.
0 Capn Rocko Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 last 3 bottle rewards I got were so bad, I left them in the shipwreck and tossed the bottle. 1

I guess it depends on how much you want cash or how easy or hard your upgrade accessibility is. Would you throw away a pretty good chance at getting a small heap of doubloons, tho? That last bottle could've been the doubloon loot.
0 Tiedemann Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Gotten 4 or 5 since patch, so it is just random. Recommend fishing outside the safe zone 😁 1
0 Farrago Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 I picked up one last night. Almost 6000 (!) doubloons, 5 Nassau boarders, a few other small trade goods. So I would advise picking them up.

0 Macjimm Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Does fishing while sailing slower increase the chance of a catch?
0 Jean Ribault Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 I have found no rhyme nor reason to the frequency of bottle snags based on activity or location. But I haven't opened one up in a while though, so I can't say what level the goodies are these days.

Ya, that sounds like a normal good one. British running rigging, greenheart, crooked, french cloth... stuff like that in "abundance". Testing bottle loot is a slow process but it seems Grietje, copper and carta are taken out of bottles. 1

Since long time ago, always got luck not too far from land between the former path of the euro NPC TRADERS, from Hat Island to Cayo Romano. Another hot spot good to me is the Gulf of Mexico. I don't know if it is just random or there is some logic in that matter, cuz, I may be wrong, but where is more traffic of ships, that includes the routes above, statically the drops must be better.

That should be right, but I don't think so in the current mechanic. This only matter because if you sail slow you take more time to go from A to B, and then you stay more time fishing and sailing, increasing your chances...but, as devs don't say anything about that subject, we can only imagine what goes behind the mechanics... 1

Could be, but I doubt it. I think it's just an random thing based on how many days at sea. Admin hinted indirectly that capital zone fishing (proximity to any port?) isn't effective but other than that I think you could be anywhere. 1
