Pirate raids drop too many Bandana and Cutless

[Cassielu]

As the title says, every pirate raid brings four  Bandana and four Cutless, which I think is a bit too much given the current frequency of attacks and how often these items are used. Cutless can be burned in a fire or a illuminator, which is where they end up most of the time. Bandana often take up valuable storage space or become floating Marine debris.

In my opinion, given the cramped space on a ship, the chaos of having many creatures or many objects on board at the same time is often undesirable. (This isn't hard or "uncompromising," just annoying)

So I suggest reducing the number of monkeys equipped with Bandana and cutlass per attack so that there are only two Bandana and two cutless per pirate ship which are distributed to different monkeys. This can have many benefits:

• Reduce the number of useless drops.

• Without Cutless, monkey damage will be reduced to 20, making pirate attacks a little easier.

• Different outfits make them look more "pirate".

 

Edit: I suddenly realized that a monkey without Cutless can't row a boat or shoot items off the player. My bad. The Cutless part wasn't as simple as I thought.

I'd agree, but I think their ability to be used as fuel is the one thing stopping me from screaming "Yes!".
It's niche, but I do value it a lot. Having a handful of Cutlesses drop to be used in my fires/mast lamps is very handy! 

Also as you said, the monkeys use them to steal/row!

Now... hats on the other hand. Those I get too many of. And no way to get rid of them either!
Maybe let them be used as fuel too? Or have them only have a chance to have the hats. Dunno.

the hats should be able to be used as fuel too

i suggest of some kind of manual Saling machinery what require 2 or 3 cutless to form a Propeller thus push the boat to a fixed direction. combine with the new boat turner we can make a speed boat variety. make its fun for 2 ppl sailing id say

Perhaps they can look the same as they do now and use those items, but just like Mactusk when killed not always drops his tam despite visibly wearing it always, the drops of killed monkeys should vary with a chance (x% chance to get a cutless only, x% chance to drop a bandana only, x% chance to drop both items and x% chance to drop nothing)

We have infinite free hats to give to any follower.

Besides, no one has to pick up everything on the floor.

It really is a bag to have to collect them one by one when there are many, but they are bandanas, they could stack, they could be folded.

To take up less space. I know this is impossible because each one has a durability.

But I don't know, it's "fabric/cloth", couldn't it be reused? I think I've lost myself.

Could we have the cutlass load into the cannon kinda like the spear gun in shipwrecked? It give them a use and help the player if we run out of cannon balls. Should they be more or less damage?
