The Grand Hunt Sencliff Writ

Post by Waldo52 »

I could understand why this writ seemed like a cool idea, what with the exploration it forces you to do. But the fact is you need to find three nondescript islets. These are not known destinations or places with names, it's an obnoxious needle in a haystack situation.

My character has no ranks in sail but has repeatedly traveled with elite sailors and he still hasn't found the third islet. Brilliant sailors were left scratching their heads on this one repeatedly and I've had the job for 12-14 IRL months. I really think it's been over a year. My inability to complete this job has become something of a meme with my shipmates.

While I'm not the biggest fan of sailing it's an objectively cool system and most of these pirate jobs are a lot of fun. But I think this particular job needs some tweaking, it's just ridiculously frustrating.

Keep trying, it sounds like you could make some great RP out of the frustration.

Try harder! Help set a good example of roleplay for the server culture.

I've been ridiculously lucky with that writ in the past while doing it, so INB4 "can't relate", I feel the frustration. I assume you have, but have your crew been using an eyeglass? You can make more islets spawn for more chances at getting the writ.

I'll talk to them about the spyglass, but I do think the crews I roll with have been using them.

Please... No more find three random islands jobs 🤕 *weeps hysterically*
