I just got into sea content and noticed this as an issue immediately xD.  It'd be nice if they could change it to where the ocean loot glowed that shiny yellow that treasure glows deep in Margoria ( Margoria Lost Item?) when the floating debris has loot to collect.

Right??

I have better idea. Just make pet's range far bigger on the sea - for example range of pet looting should be the same as your ship cannon range so we won't need to swim through corpse to loot it. Changing loot indicator is just another bandage for stupid system.

Yeah, agreed. I always squint my eyes, trying to see where exactly is the loot indicator of any sunk ship. The monsters at least leave a corpse, so I know where to sail, but ships are totally confusing :)

I just throw myself wildly off the ship and hope I land close enough to something that my pets will pick up xD Though last time I did this as soon as I got back on my ship I was being chased down by that Siren boss thing and I had no idea what it was so I was just panicking and sailing for my life away from it.... I said, "never jumping off the ship again" xD. I thought it showed up because it was mad I got off the boat...

Ugh this would be great. Then whenever I use my cannons to shoot one of those Cox pirate flags I don't have to get all the way off my ship just to pick up ONE little seal because my pets can't reach it even though the boat is RIGHT next to the island....

I agree with stinky.  Too hard to see boat loot.

I am stinky. Kek

Agreed, this is very frustrating and annoying. Increasing the loot range of pets on the ocean is a great idea, but I would like this paired with large indicators for loot as well because sometimes you are sailing very fast covering a lot of ground, and when shooting npc ships at range it can be difficult to recall the vicinity of where the ship sunk. Adding some floating broken debris or something as a visual indicator  would be a great help.
