Put a war drum music sheet in the inventory, sit in the war drums via E, and the its a lot like the accordion from there. I'm not super sure as I'm not the musician but I have messed around with it a bit.

The War Drums buff worked for us. It buffed the ship's repair rate or something like that. It had an icon beside the ship's icons in the top right corner. From the accordian we have yet to see a buff.

I don't know about alone, but a few schooners worked together to take one out in L7. They lost one in the process.

I've found jellyfish and dolphins. Also something that looked like a hammerhead shark. A very, very big hammerhead shark.

Overall, these are some great points and I agree! An interesting sidenote is that we are actually seeing an upswing in deficiency diseases in the West (hi scurvy and rickets). Also, modern food and drink has a lot of vitamins and minerals artificially added specifically to combat these diseases. More on the point, have you and/or your company looking deeper into the cooking skill? So far it seems like recipes learned from that skill line restore multiple vitamins at once while having a longer decay timer. I wonder how having access to ingredients and a chef will impact this aspect of gameplay. I agree it depletes at a ridiculously quick pace, even after investing in the depletion reductions skills.

We found rubies on the tallest plateau on our current island.

It feels a little premature without a flag limit (per day/week at least). Still, that is a good change in the long run. My company wants to start a port city and encourage people to settle there by keeping taxes reasonable. We were worried about how to defend it on a PvE server which was incredibly weird.
