Don't forget the banana crates as well! The issue at the moment is you can only get those voyages via messages in a bottle and journals. I was hoping they would pop up when my merchant reached 50, unfortunately that is not the case.

I'm hoping that there are plans to make these less time consuming and the commendations where only put it so people wouldn't complain if they were added later.

@whytecho47 I think you mean "rare". Erm, they don't appear too frequently, and I think it's because they're pretty easy quests to fulfill. All you have to do is visit an outpost and fill them up. And if there's isn't enough stuff on an outpost, then you head to one of the big islands and go barrel hopping. It's pretty easy stuff.

I have come across them twice....and I have played a ton.
