Thanks for the tip I have only been killing Sergeants in the fort on Port Royal. I'll check out the other island.

Actually I have started over so many times with new characters that I can't remember if it actually changed on this one while I was working on it or if it changed because I switched from one character to another.

I just remember looking for a first mate and reading threads here where other people were looking for a First Mate, and then suddenly I noticed that mine said "sergeant".

Ok I have a dagger on a pirate I've had for a while, but really didn't play on until now. So, now I have the Will quest. My question is, do you think I will lose my current dagger if/when I finish the Will quest? I can't drop it

[GraceWildRage]

Well, I learned one thing. Just because you have finished part of the quest and have taken it back to Will and got the credits, and it shows your task as a certain % done, you can not drop it. Now I finished the other parts and when I took it to Will he said, "Not going to ask where you got it from" or something like that and then had nothing for me. Arg! Live and learn I guess!

So, after several weeks I'm finally back on and on main pirate on dagger quest - got the coal and only 1 fine steel - are the other items on certain EITC ships? Been afraid to go get tongs without a buddy to go with me - LOL - and although another pirate was able to get bones from corpses several weeks ago, for some reason, it seems much more difficult now (have I lost my touch?) If somebody knows which ships the quest items are found on, I'd appreciate knowing - I've sunk many with no luck at all.

[piratesahoy]

I don't think anyone has recovered the message yet. I have sunk dozens of navy ships with no luck.

[MouseTyme]

I have taken 4 sergeants and still have not recieved the tongs. I assume it must be a bug. Or is it a certain sergeant we have to get?

[Magnet]

I received the tongs after only two sergeants in the prison at Port Royal. But that was two releases ago. Changes are made with every release, I was just hoping the powerful Navy ship would show up with the latest one.

I can't even begin to tell you how many I have taken out. I just got them yesterday. In Port Royal... was just inside working skills and happened to get it . I must have killed...maybe 10+.

[Reebee]

I'd taken out at least 40 sergeants and thought it was hopeless and gave up for a while. Then I was just working on raising my cutlass level on some guards in the fort on Padres Del Fuego. A sergeant popped up so I went for him and was shocked when it said I had acquired the tongs!

I've done this quest about three times now (on the same character) because of bugs and now I finally have the tongs but I cannot seem to get the silver ingots, which were no problem for me in past attempts on the quest.

They definitely seem to be fine tuning the difficulty levels in each task.

[Red Bull]

Yes this task seems to be totally random,

I got the tongs off first sargeant just outside the fort in port royal on first character, but on second after over 15 sargeants still not got, then game reset my tasks, and had to do all wills again, im doing one by one in order, so havent tried tongs again.

i can't get any of the required stuff to make them even the coal ive asked ppl they say to go to the prison in port royal and search around. i've searched barrells and boxes and found nothing any ideas?

For the coal, I went to the prizon yard at Port Royal. As you enter the court yard from running up the hill, go left and up the stairs. On the left you will see an opening with a round barrel. This is where I got all my coal.

The trick is to get in the opening without the soldiers seeing you. I just hung around after I entered (unnoticed). Did all 10 in just about a minute.

Good luck

The barrels in proson supply coal, can take a few searches before, u get you first, then u shud get others. However i think this may have same random properties some of other tasks, especially now.

As like tongs, I got coal first barrel then all barrels after that on first time round, but on second character, took several searches before i found my first.

I'm stuck on the dagger quest too. I have all of the items Will Turner asked for, but when I go see him, he says "Good, you're back, let's start again" and the little dialog box pops up saying I've finished the quest, but then it still says my quest is to see Will Turner. I also cannot drop this quest.

BTW, I'm at the same impass on the Doc Grog quest. I've started another pirate since I can go no further on this one.

Arrgh!

I just received the tongs the other day on a secondary character I started, after my first one is so bugged and missing so many weapon items. I could not believe the difference, but anyways I would just keep battling seargants on Port Royal near the fort. I defeated two different veterans (lvl 10) and then three seargants showed up, when I defeated one of them I received the tongs so keep trying...Oh, I recommend doing this on World 6 within your map, since I have seen many little buts on World 4 and 5...
