A list of items would greatly help the suggestion, do you have any ideas in mind?

@Eby

Can't think of many items off the top of my head right now, but the gem sack is a good shout actually. It can hold either 60 or 80 of every type of uncut gem (can’t remember which), from opal all the way up to dragonstone.

 

 

@Heaven Sent, Good comment, but looks like the gem bag is already in the vote shop, and it's a Crafting item anyhow. What I'm aiming for is a Sailing item as popular as crystal keys or Sherlock notes. If we go the cosmetic route instead, I'd price it around 3k, 6k, or 9k vote points.

@H Yes, I do now. Four ideas:

1. Boat speed boost (shop item)

A perk that makes your boat ~25% (or ~50%) faster for 15 minutes per book (20 max), stacking exactly like the XP boost. Read four books back to back and you're sailing at Porsche speed for an hour. It would put real action into the long hauls: Port Sarim to Port Tyras, Zul-andra, Port Phasmatys.

To sell it as an item to consume vote points: "Bottled Dragonfire." Secondary use: a few bottles recharge your DFS (melee shield), ancient wyvern shield (mage shield), or dragonfire ward (ranged shield) without a trip to the dragons to charge it. Weak but expected use case. Making bottled dragonfire from dragonfruit is unimplemented in Alora and using sweet cactus fruit to make dragonfire never made sense anyway.

Note: This perk should be disabled / not available during any point of the Baracuda Trials. 

2. Daily Task Board reset (shop item, ~110 points ≈ 3 vote books)

An item that resets your Daily Task Board. Some players online report `Daily Task Board fatigue: port tasks only refreshing once per day discouraged them from training Sailing on days they'd already burned through the worthwhile tasks, and it started feeling like "DailyScape."` A reset item fixes that.

Balance-wise it's safe because voting is on a 12-hour cooldown timer, so the supply of these is naturally time-gated. Low-volume concern: this might be dead content at 99, plenty of players will just camp salvaging regardless, and there may already be a different progressive system than daily tasks planned.

3. Ocean Encounter odds boost (vote book perk or shop item)

Increases the chance of an Ocean Encounter (https://oldschool.ru...cean_encounters) by ~20% for 30 minutes. The perk form is the simplest version. As an item, I picture a pint of "extra dark" squid ink. To be practical it would need to be a stackable, a 4-dose like Guthix rest, or a single dark pint that lasts 4x as long for 4x the points.

I can't confidently price this one like the others above because I don't even know which encounters are in Sailing, but if forced at gunpoint: 115 points per 30 minutes.

4. Cannon max hit brew (vote book perk or shop item)

Same pint theme: temporarily raises cannon max hit by +1, or +2 if you have a Keg of Perildance Bitter installed, since that keg already gives +1.

Why no Sailing uniques

I deliberately left out Sailing uniques like dragon cannonballs because (AFAIK) every Sailing unique in OSRS has crashed in price (unfortunately), and I don't want to devalue the Sailing rewards here.

Coming up with these was a genuine balancing act. #1 is my favorite, probably because I'm a guy and guys like fast cars . For the calmer skillers who'd rather not have more action, #2, #3, #4 are the play.

Side notes

• Bug check: Seed Box should support Cotton Seeds, Hemp Seeds, and any other Sailing seeds.
• Success metric: this suggestion worked if vote books rise from 6m to 7m (+16%).
• For anyone wanting to merch in the next 2 days, consider selling: logs, nails, planks, bars, rope, swamp paste, ores. Lowest tiers appear to have the highest ROI. Bronze bars are 500k ea at time of writing while rune bars are only ~20k ea. No one is selling swamp paste today yet.
• Vote books generally give 37.5 vote points per book.

Shameless self-promotion + AI disclosure: I prompted an LLM through a Mac app I built this year (also on iOS) to make the original dense wall of text here "more readable." I've always been better with computers than writing.
