Is there a chance you accidently dropped it?

You can't drop Weapon Quests, nor Story Quests.

If they constantly fight guards sailing etc, could possibly get u there

You can't drop major quests(I think grenades is a major one)

Actually once you've moxed out your skills in basic you can't gain not anymore. The only exception is to crew up and sink high level stuff. And then...you only gain like 10% or the normal %60 exp. So...it's technically possible....but so insane no one would really ever do it.

Well, when you get the grenade quest, you have to search the kingshead crates and barrels. Try searching them and see if it picks it up. I just finished mine.

Did anybody else get the same message over and over the whole quest, something about a squirrel? (that's all I can remember). The whole quest, whether I went to Jack or the Gunsmith, I got the same dialog.

lol I dont remember anything about a squirrel, I guess I don't pay attention too much :p

Jack was tellin you about a squirrel and nades. I dont remember the story, just remember the bombing joke.

I sent a bug report. Within an hour, they sent me an e-mail back once.

Just search the barrels/crates, and see if you pick something up.
(Like someone already said):dancetl6:

hmm odd... have u gotten it fixed if not definatly contact potco staff

I turned 20 the other day and didn't even get the qust to talk to Jack Sparrow.
Tech support will get back to me.

Not sure if this was already mentioned im to drunk to read everything. But I found it useful to switch servers after getting all the stuff from barrels / crates i could. Then you can search the easy ones again. Also there is a 1 crate outside of kingshead on the dock that you can get.

lol yea ^_^ and this seems to be a potco problem considering now 2 people have this problem...

I'm glad I already got my grenades! That would have been a pain.

My quest is gone too
 

I have not even been able to recieve the quest yet, i contacted pirates staff and they said they are working on it, and EVERYONE since the update has not been able to get it or finish it, yet 6 of my friends who JUST turned level 20 yesterday already have it, and when i turned 20 on friday i could not get it. I am level 22, almost 23 and i NEED my grenades.
