Unconfirmed Bug Expert Marksman Perk problem - Turks Blacksmith is not giving the fetch quest.

I had visited the Turks Blacksmith and noted the fetch quest for unlocking the Expert Marksman perk. I did not have enough money or cargo hold to return with the silver she had requested. I noted that the return date was July 19th for her quest. I loaded my save outside her door once again and double checked the quest, same July 19th return date. I loaded save again and went to get the silver needed and another ship to help bring the large amount of silver she would request. I did return after July 19th but had never begun her fetch quest or spoken to her. Now when I speak with her after July 19th, she gives no quest. Any advice other than previous save game? Thanks in advance and excellent work on this fine game.

That particular fetch quest had expired, so you could not cheat on it. Try again with the next fetch quest.

Thanks for the reply but my problem is that she is not giving a quest to unlock the Expert Marksman perk. When I reloaded a previous save prior to speaking with her, it would not have tripped the quest to begin. Her initial fetch quest for the perk ended on July 19th. I would have had no chance to complete the quest in that timeframe due to cost and cargo amount of supplies. That's why I used an earlier save prior to speaking with her so as not to trip the quest. Now it's after July 19th but she has no fetch quest to offer to unlock the perk. Sorry for the wordiness, just making sure I haven't screwed something up. She may give another fetch quest down the road for the perk, but not as yet after multiple attempts.

If the quest has indeed expired, then the only thing to do is to wait until another one is triggered later.
Keep an eye on the tavern news so you'll know about it when they happen.

There is another gunsmith on Sao Jorge. There might be something there.

I recently had another fetch quest where the time allowed was too short. I went to the next island and got the goods but could not get back in time. Missed it by one day.

Thanks much for the info and again thanks for the work with this game. I've still got my original Sea Dogs cd and the New Horizons mod helped pull this game together. I was a Firecontrolman in the Navy and sailed on my off time. I've always been a gamer but will always have a warm and fuzzy for this type of game.
