So I was thinking that to paint my ship, I'd need around 24k to buy the number of paint tubs I need. Being a poor fisherwoman, that's a lot of boots pulled up from the ocean floor, but I figured, that's a good goal.
So today, I pull up two sea serpents with 64 gold each, and not much else. Then I pulled up one with an MIB. I finished the run I was making to dropoff/deliver some fish and headed to the location of the SOS. First pull, I get a head (yuck). Second pull, I get the chest. It weighs 316 stones! I open it up and there's 30k and a BUNCH of scrolls, gems, weapons that I suspect might be worth something and other stuff. I hit the lottery today! Rienna's Sanity is gonna get her paint job!
