The numbers you posted don't match the numbers in your source.

Easily disproven with simple tests.

Skeletons die in three sword swipes, not two. Assuming a sword swipe is 25 as you have said that means their health is 51-75.

Skeletons also die to one pistol shot. The pistol therefore must do 51-75 damage, not the 50 you listed.

Proving one number wrong casts doubt on all others.

This has changed recently. Now treasuries guarantee a horn, there is a small chance of finding one in a shipwreck, and they can be found washed up on beaches. I don't think they are in shrines any more.

Pondies, splashtails and islehoppers are the lowest value fish. If you had done stormfish and wreckers first you would be closer to 50 by now. That said it doesn't really matter what order you do them in if you plan on doing them all.

Also if you sell directly to the hunters call at a sea post you earn +50% regardless of emissary. A level 5 guild emissary is +75% to sovereigns.

Rice is a metaphor used to make the game tangible for players. Although some rice is indeed purchased as part of WFP’s food assistance programs, the funds generated through the game support WFP’s programs overall, where needs are greatest, not specifically the purchasing of rice. Every right answer on the game generates the equivalent of ten grains of rice as payment towards the United Nations World Food Programme’s operations in over 80 countries around the world.

Which means you are trading 0.75x of Athena rep for 1.75x of other faction rep. Athena emissary is still best for Athena rep. You get guild rep either way.

Grappling back into blunder range when you have low health is suicide.

The blunderbuss needed a nerf because someone could grapple you or themself into the one shot range, which then makes the blunderbuss too powerful.

The grapple gun and blunderbuss were not meant to counter each other directly.

More annoying to be stuck in mermaid hell than wait 7 seconds on the ferry to respawn and board again.

You should know... Allegedly.

Kegs buried by players explode, kegs that spawned as part of a dig quest do not. There are very few quests that spawn normal kegs - I've only seen them from skeleton fort captains.

The base value is 20k, not 10k. You would get 6k on safer seas.

There are maps online such as Mermaids Lullaby or Rarethief that give a lot of detail. You just need to decide how much drawing you want to do.

You can do tall tales in safer seas. Can't complain about being attacked on high seas anymore.

This is known as HitboTC's secret tunnel play

You can still get captain chests from ancient vaults. They are worth less than the newer chests though.

If enemies try to win through naval alone then they won't sink you. If they board, kill your skeletons and then naval, you will sink fairly quickly. Cursed balls are devastating against skeleton crews.

I took over a burning blade while solo and was able to fight a galleon, brig and 2 sloops at the same time. Managed to sink most of them with only the brig left, but they started to keep distance and spam boarding attempts to whittle down the skeletons. If I could get a ritual off then I could probably have sunk the brig too, and they were good players.

The trick is to ignore your sails and don't bother repairing. Just keep angle and shoot anyone that boards. If they drop your anchor then you need to get that up as soon as possible. If they board and run below deck then you have to follow them otherwise your skeletons won't survive.

Of the three reasons you have given to justify exploiting, two of them are because they give you an (unfair) advantage, and the third is because you think it's funny. You represent everything that is wrong with online gaming.

Have you looked into Xbox cloud gaming?

If you have 850 active members then why do you need to advertise?

Something smells fishy, and it's not Merrick.

The inefficiency of the state creates inequity. Lack of investment creates a lack of opportunity. Increasing investment requires increasing taxes.

The failure to address absurd wealth with absurd taxes is what creates poverty and keeps poor people poor and rich people rich.

The reliance on welfare is a symptom, not a cause.

There is a red line on the map and a red line on the horizon

With reputation gain and an emissary multiplier I could see it work. You trade immediate small gains for a chance of a big score being stolen from you.

Ally is allegiance. It refers to your hourglass levels, usually the total level combined.

RHG is reaper hourglass. Sounds like they were running hourglass with an order of souls emissary. This provides less RHG rep when turning in, but you do get order of souls rep instead. Generally not a good idea because order of souls can be levelled fairly easily with hourglass.

Unclear if they were diving or stacking loot for faction grade. Most likely stacking, which means the focus is on order of souls with a chance of being invaded and losing everything.
