Now that the entry to the ocean is eased with players being able to sell their crafted carracks to others, it would be cool to see reform stones or reforge stones that could be slotted into the 4 gears to improve stats for the Advance, Balance, Valor, and Volante, as a reward for going out to sea. Stats such as LT, health/DP, cannon damage, cannon cooldown, speed, turn, maybe even cabin slots, etc. Cup materials and stones obtainable from seafaring and barters.  I just think it would be a neat way to alternatively obtain stats for your ship while the enhancement levels are being worked on. Seeing as there are gear that do already offer reforge stones slots, i.e., Sovereign weapons, perhaps a similar update can happen for the ship gears? Any sailors think this would be a good addition for the game?

Normally I'd agree with you, but until (if they ever) add any more advanced sea content, it's pretty much a moot point.  All PA has been doing for the past year+ is making it easier to get into sailing, but adding nothing for those who hit the end of the road (+10 blue carracks/panok, Nol, etc).

Look at the global labs update that just went in yesterday (we getting it next maintenance).  More crow coins.  Not saying that's a bad thing at all, but it's just speeding up the path for people to get to "end game" sailing gear, then it's a dead end for them.   They didn't even increase the silver for bartering, so you're still stuck at I believe around 1.4 bil PER DAY (like 6 to 8 hours of bartering) if you're bartering for money.  That's absolute garbage.  There's no sea grinding spots for money, fleet probably being the best but it's still garbage.

So back to your post.  I have all 4 carracks and panok and a Nol.  What good is this going to do anybody who already has a +10 blue boat?  So you can grind more sea mobs a little faster, that you don't even need anymore?
