There are a couple achievements tied to turning in some items - Gunpowder Kegs and Fruit Crates specifically. The achievements are 'Black Powder Merchant' and 'Merchant Forager'
There aren't any voyages dedicated for these items anymore so it makes them increasingly difficult, nearly impossible, to actually complete. Is there any intent to add voyages back so that they're achievable? Looking to get all the achievements in this game.
@burnbacon Only those who care about the game will complete achievements and rewards.
If a person doesn't even care about achievements, their probability of playing this game is lower.
Instead of considering people who don't care about this game at all. Hey, will you still play after completing all your achievements?
It's better to care about those who love this game and are working hard to achieve all its accomplishments.
Given the current probability of encountering a white shark, there are also many people who have not seen it in over 7000 hours,
Some people may have played games for years without even seeing the things that exist in the game.
@burnbacon there is plenty to do and adventures to be had. When I'm solo slooping, I like to work towards something and achievements/comms are there to be completed.
@burnbacon I don't understand your recurring statement... with all due respect!
The fact is that it's not possible. Every achievement in this game can be achieved with a certain amount of progress and a crew, except for this one achievement.
Since the change in Season 11, it's simply impossible to make any noticeable progress.
Even if you search islands for mysterious journals, you constantly find the same quests. Quests that you can easily vote on via the quest table.
In addition, smuggler bottles are once again hindering progress!
Rare should finally do something so that you can finally play this chapter without selling your soul to the game!
@burnbacon It's not that you can't find bottles, it's more that the right contents are missing.
I often have 3-4 quests on one island... bounties, silk delivery, oh, and a few gold hoarder things.
After delivering the 50 crates, the next 50 for the black powder merchant are impossible. For example, people from my crew had these voyages ‘Battle for a Dark Fortress’ (3 quests, 3 bottle posts each). That's around 30 bottle mails. None of them contained a delivery quest!
I don't understand why you find it so difficult to agree with the community on this issue. Thousands of forum posts have not been written unnecessarily. I don't believe that people enjoy this grind for fun.
Stance out, cheers!
@burnbacon
SEVEN?
Your luck has to be studied.
Me and my crew have recently done 10 of the dark fortress voyages and out of those 30 bottles we've got a total of 0 contracts.
But the crazy part is that i need 40 kegs, so even if one of them was a contract, the chance is only one in 4 that it has any use to me.
This is just ridiculus.
I dont understand how anyone can defend this, considering there was once a quest for kegs.
@dermasterbob I don't know if I'd take his word on this. He also claimed he found an emergent boar spawn on an island that doesn't spawn them (link).
