Galleon Anchors

[Tydeus]

Is there any reason why Galleon ship crafting requires an "ancient" anchor? Wouldn't any anchor work? Could not the anchors dropped by Osiredon's be acceptable? You don't get those very often...they are "rares." This would make "farming" the MiBs have a specific point to it if you're trying to collect Galleon parts. You can still get the ingots required for building the ships by doing the MiBs, but don't you also get them with the fishing nets? Just doing the fishing nets would work a lot faster.

Or, possibly for the sake of rarity, you could make the anchor requirement to be "ancient" only for the biggest galleon ship.

Suggestion to make other sea rares required to craft these ships: 10 ropes (found on Krakens and a different kind found on Leviathan), 1 Hook (Osiredon drop), 1 anchor (Osiredon drop), and, possibly 1 bottle of red ale (Leviathan drop). Why the ale? Well, in various navies, a champagne bottle, or whiskey, is usually smashed in a naming/launch ceremony of ships. People have probably already built a galleon by now, though. :-(

Perhaps all of these plus an "ancient anchor" could be required for the largest ship, although I don't think having anything "ancient" to be a requirement for building a modern ship is very accurate.
