Doing the help Turks Island quest ... So ... I'm at Santo Domingo, spoke with officer, went to beach ... got slaughtered
Several times I might add <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />

Is there a way round this one? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />
 
well, i have to admit, that bit ain't easy. do you have toughness? you'll definatly need that, as well as a high level and a good sword (lot's of damage in this case. try a bosun's choice. maybe even taking the one that fred bob has, if you have him yet). that's basically the only advice i can give <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> apart from that, you're officers can be a great help, if they are strong enough.
 
if you use the skill up system..maybe it's more difficult. Anyway, wear a armour and a good sword and don't attack the spanish officer because you can't kill him. Attack the guards and it's preferable to attack them on the path and not near the sea.
 
i believe that's a different bit. i think that he means the part where the spanish soldiers land at the lighthouse. very nicely done with the galleon anchored there, by the way. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
What quest is that? I've not heard of a Turks quest, besides treasure quests, but after days of playing and my third character I still seem to stumble upon quests I missed.
 
well, a lot of quests have been added in the modpack. you can find this one in the tavern there. one thing that you should know though is that you should wait with doing the quest with bartholomue portugues which you can find in the cayman tavern. if you do that one first, the guy you should talk to in the turk island tavern attacks you.

Thanks Bart - I'll try that
 
I meant to say: You need a recent enough Build 14 Alpha. With Alpha 6 being both the best, most recent and ONLY version available, I think what I said was pretty much correct. Although I admit it wasn't 100% right.
 
O.K. ... so I finally got the Spanish guards defeated, took the officer captive and the quest book was updated to return to Turks.
When I got there ... nothing ... nill ... nada!
The quest had disappeared from the quest book. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />
Is this a bugy-boo or did I miss something. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

(tried it three times now, same result each time)

Be careful, the quest has time limits. You have only 10 days to reach Turks island. And after, you need to talk to Pieter Boelen in the tavern.

Thanks again Bart .. I'll look into that ... the ten days is that for the return journey, or the whole quest i.e. out and back to Turks?

10 days between Turks and Santo Domingo.
10 days between Santo Domingo and Turks.
4 or 5 days between Turks and Tortuga.
 
that time between turks and tortuga is slightly too short. it can take two or three days to simply get out of the bay. then you have too little time to get to tortuga.

I've never spent two or three days to get out of the bay <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
well, it doesn't happen all the time of course. but it does occasionally. the way to avoid it is to use sail-to to go to the beach on the other side of the island and go to the world map from there. (or you could of course sail there directly, which would take only one day)
