smugler help & gold load help

L

Lost Pirate

Landlubber
Ok, I have two things here.

First is I have luck of 9 and one in my party has luck of 10. I make a deal with the smugglers, and I sail to their spot, moor, then they always attack me. What is up, is it tied to rep? I am Dashing. I was able to do a few deals, and now I don't understand why I can't. Any thoughts?

Second, I met this pirate in the FdF tavern, and he wants to hijack some gold. I found the place, killed the guys, got the gold, according to my quest book. However, it say, we have to load the gold by sailing one ship around to the bay and the rest of my guys load. Once I leave the area, all my officers come with me, even if I told them to stay, and I can't moor my ship without the other ships, icon is not there. So what is up? The guy and his bathtub are taking up space, he doesn't fight on land, and he doest talk. How do I load the gold and finish this quest?
 
I had the same problem with the smugglers in the original build. I pissed em off once, and everytime after that when I tried to swap goods for gold, the smugglers were hostile and I had to fight them.

Are you playing the original or one of the builds? I think there is somewhere that you can reset it so that they aren't hostile, but if you piss em off again, the same thing happens. They will remain hostile until you reset them again. I wish I could remember how it was done.

I don't think I've ever run into the FdF pirate you are talking about. Is this an early quest, or are you pretty far into the game?
 
The pirate on Fdf is a build thing (build 11 i think) once u get the gold and he tells u that u need to get a ship round to the bay just head to the bay and when u are at the right one the pirate dude will speak to u just follow his instructions Hope this helps
 
Yeah, maybe that is it. After my first deal, I spoke tot hem again, I wanted to see if one would tell me something about Rheims. They mouthed off, and I told them to talk tome better, and we drew steel, they lost. I didn't think it would carry over to other islands. Well, at least I can reset it, and it isn't tied to rep.

I am playing build v11, so I guess the FDF pirate, it could also bee Conacio, tavern, but I guess that is a build quest. Should I walk to the bay, or sail to the bay? I have sailed to every port and walked to every screen on that island and he says nothing. I left, and did more stuff, can I go back, probably.

thanks for your help.
 
Lost Pirate,

Yeah, I think you have the problem I had with the smugglers. I thought that was fixed in the newer builds, but maybe not.

The smugglers were spawned because you talked to the guy in the tavern. They don't know anything about the main quest. And therefore, knew nothing about Rheims.

In the future when you deal with smugglers, you will always get the dialog where they will smart off to you after you make the trade. So be careful about what you say or it will end in the same violent way. And all the smugglers on other islands will hate you again.

I think I might know what pirate you are talking about now. Was it a guy with a goatee in a triangle hat and spiffy blue naval uniform? If so, you met him, I believe, on Isla Muella. He wants to go, IIRC,to Oxbay. Right? If you can confirm that this is the dude you're talking about, maybe someone can tell you how to continue the quest.
 
u should just have to walk to the bay and then try walking about the bay for a bit or talk to him that SHOULD do it


EDIT

Clair Larrouse:
---------------
Talk to Zaid Murro at the Isla Muelle port, or head directly to the tavern.
Talk to Clair and agree to join him.
Sail to Oxbay Island; you'll warp to the mines.
Follow his lead and kill the soldiers.
Follow the dialog.
Go to Oxbay Town, then out into the jungle.
Find the convoy of redcoats and kill them all.
Follow Clair's lead and head to the shore
Talk to Clair, and either agree to a `50-50` split or choose not to.
If you don't agree, you'll have to kill him.
If you do agree, he'll offer to sail with you. If you don't accept him, he'll wait in the Isla Muelle tavern.


this is from the walkthrough that comes with the build if it is any help



sorry for slow reply i have been busy with school work
 
yeah, that is my problem. I killed all the British, the journal say I have the gold and have to sail around to the bay. I can't talk to this guy, dialogue doesn't occur. I have walked all over the island, and the two shores, far beach and gray rocks, all he does is follow me, and won't talk. So I left the island and did other things. I am trying to finish the quest, since he is taking up space.

Specifically which beach? Far beach or gray rocks bay? I have to walk, not sail, as journal implies, right? is there a spot on the screen of the beach that I need to be in, or is it shortly after screen load?

if I get his to work, I think I am going to kill him for all this trouble.
 
My recollection is it's the shore that is directly linked to the jungle loc in which you kill the soldiers. Whichever one that is.
 
Lost Pirate,

I had trouble with this quest too. It's pretty tough to figure out what you are supposed to do throughout the entire thing. Although I happened to finish the quest in a previous game, I couldn't figure out what to do in the game I am playing now. I just did what Benny212 said and finally figured it out.

NK, is right. You can reach the shore that finishes the quest by walking to a shore that is linked to the area where you kill the final British troops that have the gold that are heading for Oxbay.

I think this is a pretty cool mission, it's too bad it's so hard to figure out what you're supposed to do.
 
The other locators _should_ lock automatically, forcing you to the shore. Apparently they don't. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
Good call! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Maybe someone should edit the quest book to reflect that idea so that people will know what to do... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huhh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:k" border="0" alt="huhh.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
 
I'm also having this problem! I've walked, run and sailed all over this island, and I can't get Larrouse to talk to me. I want shot of him too, but can't... someone, please help!?! Is there anything I can do? I can't even kill him...
