Just had this crazy idea to make sea monster grinding a little less cancerous. Have floating wharfs near the grind spots! I will say that the trip back and forth from a wharf to crocs is kinda stupid long.Before anyone posts on here that you can use this or that well let me just stop you right there guy. Cus I'm not your Guy friend! Hoping for a good RNG refill from the barterer out there well! You are not my friend buddy...

You could also update the very outdated ship repair materials. Is it supposed to take so long to repair our ships at sea? OH and while we are on the subject how about you update them cannonball refill stones. Just some food for thought you want more people to do ocean stuff these might be just a tiny few ideas to make it a little more approachable for some. I seen another thread suggest something regarding the rations and I agree with them that there should be a better food instead of using my special meals which are also used for my imperial. or add floating wharfs..... *hint hint*

*EDIT* I just want to say that in no way don't or will not indorse any kind of "campsite" for ocean content. Just would like to see a NPC wharf that is closer to crocs.

Yes plz.

There's an island east of Dallae Pier in LOML that has a wharf on it.  I'd imagine it will be unlocked with LOML 2.  That will be the closest spot for crocs.  Sadly, they put the wharf on the west side of the island instead of east...  

The cannon refills from the daily quests are a joke, those were good for bartali sailboat days.  They need to refill like 20+ cannonballs instead of 1 or 2.

Floating wharf at crocs, pirate fleet, and SMH(Lekreshan area) would be awesome.

I would grind pirate fleet for four hours when I was girnding for nol and never needed to go back to oquilla's eye. You get so much  canno`nball refills and since that fleet barely damages you it takes a while before you have to repair so its not really an issue. it WAS however an issue grinding crocs since they do a lot more damage and you don't get cannonball refills. This is all they need to do, no need for a wharf there, just have crocs drop cannonball refills (it makes no sense but so what, it's a game) and yeah maybe speed up repair by like 2x. 

For lekrashan, it its near the nampo moodle wharf so not much an issue realy. The bad thing about this spot though is it's obsolete  to grind for anything. I was just there for the first time yesterday for 3 hours to get lekrashan S knowledge which i did so now there's no point to ever go back there, the loot is so bad, even lekrashan isn't worth killing. I'm trying to get some mats to make blue gear for my other three carracks and i thought well there wont be croc scales there but surely the other mats will drop fine and probably more than they do at crocs. Hell no they don't . It used to be good if you wanted margoria crystals cause it was the only place they dropped but now you can get those easier at pirate fleet.

I do agree that SMH (Lek area) needs an overhaul.  I've made a few posts about it already.  Lower the HP of the rust/sharks to match the HP of crocs, and make them in small packs like in crocs as well.  Then it would actually be farmable.  Also increase the Claws of the Waves drops a bit.  Regarding the sea crystals, yes much better at fleet, although if you have a carrack it's better to just farm sea siren to get yellow crystals..

Let me stop you right there... They should not add more loot to the crocs loot pool, some of us barely get moss covered maps as it is. If that is indeed the end goal here then make the cannonball refill from the latest grind spot not expire. If I could go to the pirate fleet and farm cannonball refills that do not expire then it would solve the problem of canonballs.

But it still does not solve the problem of refilling rations and repairing our ships.

That's  not how drops work. You won't get less maps because they also drop refills, these drops are independent of one another. You can get both or neither.

Anyway you shouldn't be grinding crocs for maps in 2024, pirate fleet is so much better for this. I mean croc MIGHT be  stil good IF it dropped refills, but without it, its a waste of time to go to crocs for maps instead of fleet.  Pirate fleet drops an average of about 4 map pieces per hour (arsha with LS obvs). I'd usually get anywhere between 12 to 20 in 3 and a half hour (this was my daily grinding time there the last like two months), my record was 24 (I got 99% of the 828 map pieces i needed to get the nol there). I think it's possible that crocs have a better drop rate per mob but once you factor in the time to repair and refill you're losing out. 

Come on lvl 66 you been around long enough ( I think ) LOL you should know by now that not everyone has the same RNG. Just because RNG works for you at a spot during certain times does not mean it works for everyone at the same time and same place, I'll give you my RNG and schedule, then we will see what you think.
