Which ships? Cause I keep looking and I've not seen one.

OK, maybe it is my old eyes, but how do you even see what levels they are on those ships??? Do you have to jump aboard?
And can't any sailor be a first mate? That term just means the Captain's right hand man, doesn't it?

Well, I've swam aboard a few navy vessels of varying lvls and killed quite a few sailors. So far none named "first mate". It is possible that they aren't called that but so far the quests have been very specific. Like where you need bones from a corpse. The creature is titled "corpse".

wildtaz999 says he's seen them, I'd like to know which ships.

hmm wildtaz has seen them huh? Well good, because I was starting to think that they haven't been programmed in yet lol :p

i still cant find this either - have checked every navy boat i have seen! if anyone find a first mate let us know where!!

I have seen an "officer" in the fort on port royal. he is a level 15 and kills me really fast. If we can gang up on him, maybe this will work for "first mate". not sure, but i'd like to try. if anyone wants to, i'll be playing Jane Redhawk in the 7th sea

Did you get any takers yet? I'm signing on right now as Rose Treasurestealer :p

I got to the weapon (knife) training. I found the coal in the Port Royal Prison barrels. Went to each of them twice for the ten buckets. I saw a corpse skeleton in the cave in the jungle of Tortuga near the mercenary camp. It hit me with fire and killed me quick. Good Luck. I have not yet seen the first mate.

Right now I'm working on the corpses on Port Royal. I got one, but it didn't count towards my quest I guess. lol I take that back, when I logged back in, it counted it :D yay

I'm still looking for more recruits to fight the officer. 7th sea, port royal fort (where the jail is). currently im in front of will turner's place

Well, we got the "officer" but it didn't work for the first mate quest. oh well, i'll keep searching for him. good luck everyone

it was great meeting up with so many of you trying to get that officer unfortunately i froze and when i rebooted you were all gone. It was great seeing so many people on , hopefully we can all meet up again for another task.

i still need to finish getting my corpses so am planning on being on tonight during the stres test to get them ( the easiest one i found to get to is in tortuga - you go to the jungle by teh wagon to the left of town, pass through the next opeing to the cave and come out and another jungle with a small house there is a gator and corpse( sometimes he is a carrion) in the swamp next to teh house. there are also a few stumps and other undeads for anyone need ing those) hope to see some of you there!

[quick edit based on post below] i think i will try to be in the 7th sea

Hi Badpete, Wish I could have met up with some of you all last night and help out, not really sure what I was doing (Oh Yeah, I was working...Argh!). I just wanted to remind everyone that there are different worlds within pirates online, so if you sign back on you might not be in the same world and therefore everybody may look like they are gone. If you want to see what world your currently in or change to another world perform the following:

(1) Click on 'Tab' key (Opens Menu on right of screen)
(2) Click on 'M' key (Opens Map)
(3) Click on Drop Down Arrow below where it says "Current World: 4th Sea"
(4) Select the world you want to go to (You will teleport)

The button that is depressed or pressed down will be the world your currently in, for example I was just in "Current World: 4th Sea" but friends maybe located in another world therefore I cannot do quests with them since they are in another world. Not sure if you can still see your friends online or not in another world...

Well he said at the begining of this thread, but hasn't made a peep about it since... So... I'm not holding my breath.

Just to update this forum (its been a whole 4 days), has anyone seen the first mate (besides wildtaz or at least a lot more specific)?

On the ships I only see Guards and Cadets and my game sometimes gets glitchy after I dock and start out again my compass shows the enemy individuals rather than the ships and I only see the ones that are visable on the ship.
