A guide for Cursed Sails?

  • Is there a guide out there yet for everything you need to do ?
    Followed what the banner says yet currently sailing with nothing in sight and no idea what were doing.

    Also why has this awful forum layout not been fixed yet? Havent been here since it changed. Near impossible to use on mobile.

  • @scrubber89 I'd like to know this too. Logged in to an outpost that was apparently under siege (all the shops closed, people cowering). Saw a large banner proclaiming that we need to go to the waters around Shark Bait cove between the 13th and the 20th to battle and free the outpost

    We sailed to shark bait cove, and sailed around in circles...from the 13th to the 16th. Nothing...

    we fully explored the island as well, nothing

    Obviously there is something we are missing

  • @airsicktimelord Golden Sands be the start o' the first week adventure.

    Whate'er outpost ye be at will activate its adventure between the 13th an' 20th o' August.

  • @awesomecoreusa Ah! I thought it meant 13th to 20th IN GAME. I looked at my compass and it indeed said 13, so I assumed it was like the merchant quests, lol

    Thank you!

  • @airsicktimelord ye be welcome matey. Now go get those skeletons!!

  • @awesomecoreusa Yar! We be shovin' off, cap'n

  • i dont know about the dates, but i had 11th to 20th to go shark bait cove for a skeleton ship (got this from plunder outpost) and i went over there to a bunch of rocks and boom, skeleton ship popped out, i think its ingame time?

  • @twixmonster or it could be that... :) I was guessing.

    @DHG-IXxRMACxXI Says, please give Rare forum feedback. He triple promises that they are listening.

  • I have gathered this so far for a little guide:

    Begin at Golden Sands and speak to the shipwright, then find Wanda the gunsmith and then find the three clues. (Footprints, Necklace, Note)

    Go back to the shipwright and get your new speech options. Now head to Crescent Isle to meet Salty. Now you can begin getting your three journals:

    Mermaids Hideaway: Journal is laying next to a campfire
    Thieves Haven: On the east beach by a shipwrecked hull
    Sunken Grove: Down in the sinkhole on the bench in the biggest cave

    Return to Crescent Isle and chat with Salty again. According to the other active thread on this, Wanda's Alchemy Lab is on Wanderer's Refuge in the cave under the big arch.

    Again this is just a little more organized as there is an active thread in progress where some guys are being a big help and letting us know the clues.

    Nope. It means 13th - 20th in game. Been "fighting" a skeleton crew for about an hour now. Booring.

  • @scrubber89 Aye, I already said I be makin' an assumption. Turned out to be a false one.

  • @dreamcrusher401 be aware there may be an issue with the final talking to the shipwrirght not immediately giving the rewards, I was not rewarded it yet while two buddies did receive it one instantly and one later on.

  • @airsicktimelord you were trying to do next week's battles, you need to stick to this week, there are three locations for it, check your commendations for more info on them

  • @hillbilies What reward the reigon sails ?

  • why do people need a guide...? just play!

    it's a wonder people can tie their own shoes without consulting YouTube every morning

  • @triheadedmonkey Erm excuse me... do you have a link for that YouTube video you speak of?

  • @musicmee I do...but it is not forum friendly :D

    A better multiplayer game wouldn't build quests around collecting static items. I'm guessing like less than 5% of SoT users actually cares about these crummy little books, and are only doing it to grind doubloons/commendations.

  • @williamherschel why grind? just play!

  • @chitownsace3 ya, they must be received at three separate outposts

  • @hillbilies Ya i got them all...is that the only rewards for the time-limited campaign ?!? also the bone crusher ship liveries too

    It is in game time.

    You're missing something because you didn't read what the banner said.

    It doesn't say:
    we need to go to the waters around Shark Bait cove between the 13th and the 20th to battle and free the outpost

    It says:
    You need to go west of Shark Bait cove between the 13th and the 20th to battle and free the outpost.

    Once you start sailing in the direction that the outpost banner says, ships will start spawning from the depths. Be prepared and stocked though, don't take it as some easy AI fight.

  • went northwest of smuggler's cover and sailed around for a while, no ship in sight

  • Yeah, it’s called using your brain.

    Follow the clues, and solve them. Don’t ask for a mommy and daddy to take your hand and walk you through it, because you are robbing yourself of a fun adventure, and the potential to develop some problem solving skills.

    If you need hints, that is different.

  • @chitownsace3 sagte in A guide for Cursed Sails?:

    Tell me exactly how you get them all please

  • Contains Spoilers... use them if you feel the need :-)
