Trading trinkets or live fish with marrotters for kelp/bullkelp stalks, message bottles and other things


Recommended Posts

The marotters so far seem to be mostly atmospheric with raidable dens, but i had an idea for an interaction:

▪Giving a marotter a live fish will make it swim to the bottom of the ocean, and then trade you kelp in return. Kelp varies on the weight and fish type.

▪Giving a marotter a trinket however, will make it swim to the bottom of the ocean and reward you with a bullkelp stalk, in addition to kelp.

 

It adds a niche use for marotters and adds more interactions with them and the player. Marotters may have a limit of gifts per day for balance. Maybe 1 bull kelp stalk a day max.

 

Edit: Read the suggestions below for other things they could offer, like shell fragments, message bottles and barnacles. That will be a good idea.

Great idea.

Half baked idea: Maybe the sea otters could also give message in a bottle as potential rewards? It would be an active way to farm bottles, and therefore treasure.

 

 

I support the idea. Maybe it could be similar to catcoons with a larger loot table that is related to the ocean. Other loot could include: bent spork, rubber bang, salt crystals, cookie cutter shells, lures/floats, seed shells, bone shards etc. Maybe make it so they only accept ocean fish, but depending on the size/freshness of the fish you could roll better/rarer gifts
