Let Pearl discipline those monkeys!

[HowlVoid]

Tl;Dr at end

I'm gonna be honest, I don't care for pearl as she had been implemented in the game (no hate to her as a character). A middle woman for a boss is how she felt for a lot of us.

However, now that she has moved to the other island (or evicted). I think this could be a good opportunity to take down two monkeys with one bananarang.

Moon quay is also not that great of an place, you mostly visit it for unique items and that's it... maybe never visit again once you have what you wanted.

But

What if this cranky old lady worked these ruffians into shape?

An island wide renovation as we do with pearls home but with a twist. Players can choose variations of what the island will look like and for what purposes. To help with some of the endgame tedium, at a price (bananas).

These are just SOME examples of what the island could generate:

Agriculture island: Veggies/grass/reeds etc

Industrial island: rocks/nitre/wood/etc

Poachers den: Monster loot (based on season) like volt goat horns/ koalaphant trunks/hound teeth/mctusk tusks/ etc (obviously very rng heavy for balance)

I think this would be especially welcome for those who feel megabasing to be too tedious, solo players, and friend groups who just like sticking with certain characters and lack in some areas.

Tl;dr

With pearls help, we shape up the island and give it a large renovation (in stages) to help with endgame tedium. The island would then generate resources based on the path the player chooses at the cost of bananas. 

Side note:

As a solo player god do i need so much wood for structures. And as you know Wormwood doesn't exactly make it easier...

One of the endings should be Pearl taking over the Constant with powder monkeys.

Discipline? EXTERMINATE!!!

I'd rather the monkeys curse her like they curse the rest of us, it will be symbolic with her leaving behind her old ways, and stepping into a new one.

It would be funny if one day you just go visit her and Wonkey is just there as an NPC.

Pearl becoming a pirate would be so much fun

This would be such a satisfying end to her story arc. Lost her love out in the sea and now she sails the seas looking for adventure. Even if they make her bound to the Moonquay they should imply she became a pirate.

Crazy how quickly this went from helpful pearl to warmongering pearl.

But it's not a bad idea and could be a island upgrade too. Plundering island. Could enrich ocean encounters with coming across a pirate war and pearl at the helm of her own ship.

More ocean loot.
