Rag and Bones

  • Hey,

    Any help would be appreciated. I took a few months off SoT earlier this year and recently returned for the FOTD update onwards.

    I see these Rag and Bone voyage commendations on the Bilge Rat Adventures which offer doubloons.

    I want to complete them but I fear they were time-limited. Because Stitcher Jim doesn’t offer these voyages anymore it seems, and I can’t get them from the Merchant Alliance faction or the Hunters Call. I tried talking to the Seapost people and didn’t think there was a way of getting the Rag and Bone voyages from them either.

    Am I being silly and missing something here? Or are these Rag and Bone voyages definitely finished now?

    If they were time-limited, I’m a bit confused as to why the commendations still remain on my Bilge Rat list because I can’t do them?

  • @ell635 if they would have been time limited, you wouldn't see commendations anymore...

    The voyages are gone, but you can find those crates washed up on the beach...

    As I expected. I haven’t seen them washed up on any shores though. And it would be difficult to complete those commendations just based on washing up on shores. Especially the commendation for stealing them.

    Oh well... shame on me for not playing the game I guess! ^.^

    Would appreciate the voyages being put out there in circulation for the pirates in my position. But won’t hold my breath.

    Thanks for confirming.

  • @ell635 I've seen just 2 washed up so far...problem was with them: those were already expired...

  • Why dont they just keep selling the different mercenary voyages?
    I liked the mercenary reapers for captn chest..
    Yesterday we did ashen chests the whole day!
    Nobody finished the ugly boring rag and bone crate commendations..
    And we just want animal voyages or choose our athena voyages..

    Anyway we just buy and cancel until we find something we like but it would be a great improvement if we have more freedom to pick a voyage we do need or like.

    I see quite a few washed up at Shipwreck Bay, if that helps. Though in truth, you didn't miss out on much. In fact, it was the worst of the lot to date :/

    Yep, I thought the same, how are u gonna be able to steal something that almost nobody ever finds... Just sounds dumb if the quest aren't able anymore to keep thoose commendations.

    Yehaaa!!

  • As others have said they wash up on shores, I've seen 2 at mermaids hideaway since the event. Even when late they count for steals / delivery unless commendation says "on time". I'd recommend recruiting ships into an alliance and inviting them to party chat. If they come across one and don't need it maybe they will give to you. If they touch it first it should theoretically count as stolen. Still it might take awhile

  • I've found a few, always expired. So I move them a few steps and hope someone gets them for a steal.

  • They should have made the ragnbone commendations time exclusive. I'm missing ONE commendation from the mercenary voyages and its steal rag n bone chests. I haven't seen a SINGLE rag n bone chest since that update ended months ago.

  • @ruigtand-nl I finished all of the commendations during the event and then some. Not only did I enjoy doing them since I could stock up on so many crates, at first they were very rewarding.

    I would collect 17 crates from both voyages and deliver to two of the seaposts earning doubloons, keeping the other crates for my second trip. I'd load up on 17 more and deliver to the other two seaposts earning both doubloons for my second batch and gold for what was left of my first batch. I would be making a pretty high amount of gold for each late crate and saving time by only delivering to two seaposts each trip. They nerfed the gold amount though and that's when I stopped farming them.

    I did however continue to help random people that needed stolen crates. One session I was sure there were at least two sloops running crates so I sailed over to shipwreck bay before I logged off and dug up 10 to leave for the next crew that showed up, and I encountered an ancient skeleton. The whale lord had blessed me for helping fellow pirates.

    Those voyages were so similar to normal cargo runs but with a simple yet huge difference, and that is being able to acquire all your cargo from the same island. I despise cargo runs but I really enjoyed those voyages.

  • @testakleze

    Im jalous i have 3 commendations i still need for stealing etc.
    The loot did not look nice and now i cant find or buy them its annoying.

    Also missed some other mercenaries with some tokens or something..

    I dunno why they are time limited i cant keep up with all these and still need to do them tall tales..

  • @ruigtand-nl It does seem a lot harder to get these crates, especially stolen. The loot table for washed up treasure is so large, I imagine the chance that it's a skull and bone crate is pretty low, let alone the specific one you might need. Even if you do find one, you can't touch it if you want it to be stolen.

    I'll do my part to help people. Any time I see one, I'll pick it up and drop it, making it stolen for anyone else that may find it. I might even take it with me and leave it on the dock of the outpost before I leave. Unfortunately I've only seen three or four since the event.

    I don't think the commendations require them to be on time though. If I remember correctly, there were 9 commendations that required the crates to be on time. 8 commendations for turning in one crate on time to each of the eight seaposts, and then a ninth for completing all eight. The rest, including the stolen ones, could be achieved with late crates.

  • @testakleze

    Jup i need the stolen ones but then by now we are hunting the new voyage commendations so we are no longer looking for it..
    Hard to keep up with all these voyages. They should just keep selling all mercenaries maybe make them more expensive to buy but at least you can keep playing them when you like to..

  • @ruigtand-nl Yeaah!!
    That would be a nice option...! Buying them more expensive could be a solution for trying to complete thoose voyages...

    Yehaaa!!
