Over the past week or so I have been playing around with the different sizes of ships and the mounted cannons. Everything you need to mount a cannon on your ship can be crafted with the exception of the torch you need to light the fuse. I looked at all the crafting menus to find the match but it's not there....Anyway, The thought occurred to Wild Elf and myself about; wouldn't it be neat if cannons could be made of iron from different ore types?
Aside from the usual color differences how about if the different ores add bonuses to the cannon? For example, a cannon made from Verite could poison your target. Valorite could add extra damage to the target ships rigging (sails). Shadow could de-buff the target mana, Gold could add a small luck bonus. If these suggestions sound familiar, they should be as I propose the same bonuses that runic smithing hammers provide to weapons. Naturally, I wouldn't expect the crafting to be as easy as just using different ore so how about the need for recipes? Recipes could be made to be found in the chests fished up from an SOS, bod reward items and so forth. Maybe even the requirement of using a runic cannon tool, in different ore types.
We could do the same to the ammunition, (cannon balls and grape shot). Shoot, you could even make the pirates and orcs target you sooner by using enhanced ammunition. There are many different ways to add new depth (pun intended) to the oceans of Sosaria.
This could really add a neat dimension to the high seas and may even be able to help with the bosses.
As always, please feel free to comment either pro or con.
