Item suggestion: Marker buoy

[Ennuix]

Just a thought, but it would be like the water based equivalent of the sign.

It could be used to mark water based points of interest on the map (i.e. bioluminescence, swordfish, bolphins, etc.) and it wouldn't require leaving another boat to mark the spot.

Possible recipe: 3 bottles, 1 bottle lantern, 1 rope, and 3 rocks.

The bottle lantern requirement may be a bit steep, but it would cool to have that bluish glow similar to the modern blinking effect of some buoys.

You can mark spots on the maps with sea traps....but I would like to have buoys too, buoys are cool! ^^

There could also be the option to put a boat lantern on it, to illuminate the area or something.

For the equivalent of a sign, I think it should be cheaper. Something like a plank and a stick?

By "equivalent," I meant it in terms of functionality and not item cost.

I still wish that signs would allow players to label them.

It would only make sense that a marker buoy would be more material intensive given that the environment that it is placed within is not static.

Whether or not the marker emits light and my proposed potential recipe is excessive is another matter which could be resolved by offering standard buoys and light emitting buoys,

I hope that non-sinking backpacks won't even be a thing post official release. Backpacks should be allowed to be stowed in cargo boat storage space, but they should sink if tossed overboard.
