Quest Solution: Black Pearl vs. Goliath

[Peggo]

Sounds like fun. I can't wait. Oh wait, I have to. I'm not finished with the Black Pearly quest yet.

[Allure]

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I was happily doing it (and completed it) When I noticed a possible story line ...blooper....


If you watched the cut-scene where the "pirates" are running towards the ship

By golly, is that Bo Beck running towards it? And wasn't he totally off-ed by Jolly Rogers right when you started the game?

Weird anyone? hmm hmm?

One thing when your shooting down the Goliath, if you have ramming speed, use it. It went so much faster for me that way.

How in the heck do you make it so people can come with you? I don't think it's possible or they prevented it. My friends tried to come to me and they couldnt and when u start the battle it kicks everyone from your crew.

I completed it on the third try, 1st time got sunk from attack ships, 2nd time missed a bridge thought it was glitched, and 3rd time was a charm.

There is a sweet spot on the port side of the goliaith (the side facing the open waters) but the ship will take some damage in other parts as well.

Thr bridges nor the goliaith did any damage to the ship, only the beginning light frigate attack ships did.

Get them to teleport to you lol

It works sometimes, other times it doesn't :-/

You have to get them to teleport to you when your still watching the little clip of the two guys arguing. If they try to teleport later it won't work.

Thanks. Even though I completed it by myself at least now I know what to do to help my friends when they get there.

I wonder if this is going to change since it is down for repairs, I guess I have to work on my skills and stuff while they repair it

Bringing this back to the top!

Just finished all the quests (save this one of course) and was wondering if there has been any news on when it will be de-bugged?

Also, for those of you that got to complete it, may I poll you on what your sailing and weapon levels were when you took it on? Did you have a war ship? Even though I'm done with all the quests, I don't think I'm ready to take on a Lev 40 Ship! Unless I've got a full crew who all have mighty high cannon skills....

Thanks In Advance!

First, you drive the black pearl during the battle so what ships you have in game is a moot point. The Black pearl has awesome broadside cannons and a decent hull.

Second, no one knows when this will be returned, however you can bank on MAJOR issues when it does return has hundreds of people ready for it try to swarm to it at once. Almost everyone in my guild is ready to do it and that is the same story all over. The lag will be amazing I'm sure.

Thanks WizardHawk

When I drive another players ship though, my skills are still the only ones available to me....does this not count on the Pearl? (I'm talking about sail speed, ramming skill, et all.) I realized after I posted that I would not be driving my ship, LOL. But I'm concerned about my skill set I suppose.


And I agree, once is opens back up, it's gonna be swarmed....arr.

Thanks Again.

Of course your level of sailing matters on this task. Your normal sailing skills and levels apply, however it is a carefully scripted battle and some of those skills do not come into play.

You are for sure best off having several friends with powerfull cannon levels along to help you and I believe that is more of a bonus than what level your sailing is at, but your mileage may vary.
