Quest Summary
-----------------------------​

• The player speaks with a pirate belonging to a crew of enchanted pirates, who have been robbed by a pirate group who captured and used an angel to reach the enchanted ship. Lucian begs the player to find a way to save his crew, and the player is told to find Elna, a mage belonging to the enchanted crew.
• Upon reaching Elna, the player is given a tiny bit of backstory on her, and she opens a portal, which seems unstable, as she is low on mana from the fight on the ship. The portal, unlike Elna promised, teleports the player inside the enemy's Captain's Quarters. The player must now find their way out, killing enemy pirates along the way.
• Upon reaching the main deck, the player must kill the chained angel and retrieve her wings all whilst being bombarded by enemy pirates in swarms. Once the player retrieves the wings (Chestplate) and equips them, they can flimb the flagstaff pole that the angel was chained to.
• Doing so will teleport the player to the enchanted ship, where they are introduced to the enemy pirate crew. The player must defend 4 waves of mobs and 1 boss wave, (5 total waves) to free the 3 tied crew members and return to Lucian with the enemy captain's hat.

Quest Mechanics
(Read this before Quest Stages)​

• Stage 2:
  • Elna's portal is your usual magic particle circle. Jump in and you'll be teleported to an off-map ocean inside the Captain's Quarters of the enemy ship.
• Stage 3:
  • You must walk around and fight swarms of pirates. Once you reach the main deck, you'll see an angel chained to the stern flagstaff.
• Stage 4:
  • The angel is an ally NPC with 60,000 HP that you must kill, but BEWARE, pirates and pirate archers threaten to kill you whilst you do so in swarms.
    • Upon killing the angel, she drops (Already identified) Angel Wings, a rare chestplate and quest item that allows you to climb up the flagstaff. Doing so will teleport you to the flying ship above the one you were just on.
• Stage 5:
  • Three crew members (animations) are tied to a barrel in the middle of the enchanted ship. Interacting with them will activate a cinematic where Buckthorne and his crew enter from the sides and flags of the ship, and the dialogue begins. (See stage 5 below)
    • Once the cinematic ends, you must fight off 4 increasingly difficult waves of pirates, pirate archers and parrots. On the 5th and final wave, Buckthorne himself jumps from his spot at the steering wheel and you must fight him. Upon killing Buckthorne, he drops 'Buckthorne's Tricorne', which at FIRST is just a quest item to give back to Lucian. (See below)
• Stage 6:
  • The invisible borders preventing you from jumping off the ship are now gone and once you jump, you'll fall down to where Elna is. (Kind of a simulation of how Elna and Lucian got there.)
• Stage 7:
  • Talking to Lucian removes [Buckthorne's Tricorne] (the quest item) from your inventory and you are rewarded with the actual helmet at the end of the dialogue.

Notes:

Currently, this is simply an idea, therefor, I'm not going too into detail with mobs, bosses, and so on. I'll leave it open for recommendations, however, as I continue to build upon this idea, and I might eventually add those stats. I'd love feedback, good or bad, thanks for reading!

- Changed & Adjusted item stats






​

​

 

lol that's not how item ids work, you take a base number and multiply it by 0.3-1.3 to give you the range for positive stats and 0.7-1.3 for positive stats

 

I should definitely look into that, for now the % stats are blank.

 

no no no all stats are like that, not just precentages,
lets say your base for speed is -6, for xp and loot its 3 and poison is 124

-6*0.7=-4.2 rounding up to -5 and -6*1.3=-7.8 rounding up to -8 so your stat would be -2% - -6% walk speed

3*0.3=0.9 rounding up to 1 and 3*1.3=3.9 rounding up to 4 so your stat would be 1% - 4% xp bonus

3*0.3=0.9 rounding up to 1 and 3*1.3=3.9 rounding up to 4 so your stat would be 1% - 4% loot bonus

124*0.3=37.2 rounding down to 37/3s and 124*1.3 = 161.2 rounding down to 161/3s so your range would be 37/3s - 161/3s
