Panning Skill?

[sp3ng]

Brief Summary:
Make panning a skill which is able to be levelled up.

Detailed Suggestion:
Hello everyone,

I think panning had jumped off a cliff recently and I barely ever see anyone doing it anymore, In my opinion panning is very much a skill just like mining, fruit picking or fishing, so I'm thinking if we could make panning a level able skill which has perks it could bring panning back to life.

for instance like -
Maybe per level you could find items that you could not find before? maybe you could get a small increase on the quantity of the items found?



The Pros:
Revives panning
Gives people something to work for.

The Cons:
Dev Work

Does this suggestion change balance on the server ?
No.

I used to be a pan enjoyer, the pay was decent and the stuff you got in the quantities you got it was useful. recently the loot you get from panning is has been underwhelming, for example 37 copper ore in an hour is not great. it would be nice to have a skill to increase loot gained from panning, or improve panning in general.

Panning is terrible atm could do with a rework tbh

it would defiantly be a large rework but i think it could be nice to see like panning in certain areas give different things, so have a general loot pool that items can drop from but then if your panning in certain places then the chance of some items goes up or down or the chance to find some other items

example like
panning behind the casino in the racetrack pond you could find poker tokens or the lucky wheel tokens
panning at cayo perico you might get lucky and find a drug packet that's been dropped into the water
panning in that alcove behind humane labs could maybe find some chemicals that were disposed of incorrectly

like i say it would be a chunk of work for the devs to work on but seeing as fishing also has different areas for finding fish i wonder if that same code could be built on to include panning to the mix and loot pools for it

panning hotspots would be funny
