Rag & Bone crate steals

Most stopped pretty quick. No items to unlock...just titles. I've been struggling too. I'm also trying to get one of the seapost to seapost stops to drop (The Finest Trading Post)...thats like pulling teeth...it all seems random and never that post.

@xshadovvhunterx Yeah I was surprised at how quick getting all 50/ 50 took. A few hours solo.

I’ll continue server jumping and sailing by Shipwreck Bay in the hopes of seeing someone also running the voyages. Think that’s my best chance

I couldnt play much the last two weeks and now I am in the same boat as all of you. It is the steals I am worried about. I do wish I could just meet someone who is also doing it and we can just trade to get credit. I wish there was a way to arrange this besides just luck of finding someone.

I feel your pain. I struggled on the first few days with these commendations. I eventually found a Sloop who was willing to help (I basically commandeered their ship). I have since occasionally been finding creates at outposts and half dug on Shipwreck Bay.

There are even some Pirates out there just digging 10 up and leaving them in a neat pile for the next guy....

So don't give up. Approach other ships and ask for assistance. You may even get lucky finding a few abandoned ones.

I tried finding someone willing to trade, unfortunately it was rather difficult. People were friendly enough but my mic broke so I couldn't talk. As I waited at shipwreck, allied with another sloop doing its own thing, and sitting with 10 crates of my own, I decided to chase down a different sloop that said "no thanks, doin tall tales" and see if they would let me take over their ship. They were nice enough to have one drop out and the other invite me into their ship before leaving. I then turned in my already 6 days late cargo as a different crew making it stolen. You might try something like this if people don't want to trade. Ask if you can have their ship before they log off. Maybe even bring along some treasure for a little incentive for them to do it.

The other idea I had was get two of you to join games separately until you're on the same server in different crews. If you are located in different countries, then player one starts a game, invites in player two afterwards to keep the ship alive while player one starts new games trying to get the same server. Hopefully it would only take a few tries before you get it.

On a side note, at first I had every intention of doing these shipwreck voyages for as long as I could. I would dig up 17 solo, 34 duo, or even 68 crates with four legends. Then deliver to two seaposts earning doubloons. Then go back to shipwreck with new voyages, dig up a second set, then go deliver to the other two seaposts. On that second trip we would make doubloons for the crates we just got, and 1,500 gold a piece for the late ones from the previous batch. Then continue like that switching back and forth between each pair of seaposts. Unfortunately they nerfed the gold reward to 250 for each and I decided not to do them anymore. 1,500 may have been too high but it gave people more of a reason to repeat these voyages. 250 is just too low. That change made me change my decision on continuing to do these voyages after my commendations were completed.

Wait...
You can turn in old crates that have expired? I found a whole bunch a few play sessions ago ... THOSE COUNT?

@warped-nes Yes. The only commendations that require the crates to be delivered on time are the ones that want you to turn in one to each seapost. Once all 8 of those are earned, you earn the 9th commendation for turning in crates on time to all seaposts. None of the other commendations require the crates to be on time.

@testakleze UGH, I am going to throw up. I had all the accommodations right there. Thanks for letting me know.

EDIT: I managed to complete the steals last night. Me and my buddy kept server hopping and sailing over until we saw a ship at Shipwreck. Took a few hours but we managed it in the end; give it a go!

@testakleze @XShadovvHunterX @D3ADST1CK @Warped-NES @CallMeBackdrafT

@warped-nes Yeah, I was upset when I found that out too. It was North Star Seapost that messed me up, first time I went there I was late and I couldn't turn in to Sudds, figured it was a loss. Didn't notice till later they don't go to Sudds there.
