Title: The Arc - Knowing your surroundings.
Post by: Mini Nub on July 27, 2016, 12:21:06

Uncharted Isles

The Uncharted Isles is an island exploration system that randomly generates new islands, based around the player. You can find rare resources on the Uncharted Isles.


Getting started
There are no level requirements for players wishing to explore the Uncharted Isles. However, the player must have completed the quest Impressing the Locals to access the Wushanko Isles. The player may set sail to the Uncharted Isles with their crew by speaking with Quartermaster Gully given they have enough supplies to venture forth.

Supplies may be purchased from Rosie on Waiko with chimes. Rosie will also supply the player with 5 free supplies each day; These may be claimed from the crate next to Rosie's merchant stand. Rosie can hold up to 50 free supplies for the player if they forget to claim their free supplies.


Voyages
Voyages of increasing lengths require greater amounts of supplies. While longer voyages do consume more supplies, they offer islands with greater quantities of items washed ashore and greater chances of special resources.

Voyage Distaance	Supplies required	Special resources available
Long Voyage	20	3-5
Median Expedition	12	2-3
Short Junket	5	0-1
Claimed Island	3	However many you claimed

• The Travelling merchant random event from Deep Sea Fishing can sell Uncharted island map (Deep Sea Fishing) for 800,000 coins that leads to an island with 4-6 special resources.
• The rowboat found on the island may be used by players in need of accessing their bank while on an expedition. It may also be used to leave the island, or sail to other islands in the Arc.

Common resources

• Bamboo
• Crablets and Salt
• Exuberry bush
• Orokami
• Tortles

Rare resources

• Alaea Crablet
• Dead moai
• Golden Bamboo
• Mushroom Cluster
• Ornate tortle
• Wobbegong

Washed ashore
Items are often found washed ashore the coasts of Uncharted Isles. These items will persist as long as the player remains on the isle, and can be picked up or looted. As such, pick all of them up and bank them before starting on other resources. Upon revisiting a claimed isle, the player may notice new items washed ashore.

On rare occasions, players may find a treasure chest washed ashore on an isle. Looting the chest will award the player 1–7 taijitu and occasionally provide stoneberry or stormberry seeds. On long voyages, there is about a 33.33% chance that players can find a treasure chest with about a 50% chance for it to be a Tier 1 chest and about a 25% chance for it to be a Tier 2 chest or Tier 3 chest.

Washed up supplies may also be found. No matter the size of the voyage, there is about a 20% chance that players can find washed up supplies on an isle. This averages about 0.5 supplies per voyage.


Claiming an island
After completing the Flag Fall miniquest, players gain the ability to purchase claim island flags which can be used to claim an Uncharted Isle. Once the player finds a suitable island for themselves, they may plant the flag on the island, with a confirmation message being given before being planted. The island will not be lost upon leaving, and can be revisited at the cost of three supplies regardless of its size. Resources on the island will be regenerated daily, resetting at 00:00 (UTC).

When travelling to new unclaimed islands, it is recommended to keep at least one claim island flag in the bank in case the islands encountered have a greater number of, or more preferred resources than the player's previously claimed island.

Since islands cannot be claimed until Flag Fall is completed, it is advised to go on Short Junkets until five driftwood can be collected and given to Boni (rewards).
