These are good ideas. The timer would be a convenient feature to people who do the daily pyrat quest. The stake sparring might be a decent thing, but I don't think that would work too well. Now the water mount. That could actually be a great thing to have, as it would allow faster movement over water and maybe it could be used for something like new areas that could require a mount, although that would require the mounts to have special properties, like the ability to travel over currents too strong to swim through. Overall, I like your ideas. I also see that you're new, so welcome.
