How do I kill the crabs???

[Captain Mickey]

The one quest where Tattoo says to get her a big crab claw,I was killing crabs but nothing on the quest was complete so I went exploring, found a island that had level 10 crabs on it,I used my cannons on them and it worked.

thanks for the tip! Aim lower, got it.

OK, another very lame question--do I have to buy ammo for the pistol? Or can I fire as much as I want?

Sometimes in Port Royal and Tortuga, the crabs on the beach get bugged and you can't attack them. If you approach them and take a few swipes with your sword...and nothing happens, they are bugged.

This happens with guards that wander into areas of tows too. So...if the mob doesn't react to you trying to hit them...or if shooting/slashing them has no effect, then ignore them. They will eventually be cleaned out with a server reset.

The only satisfaction I got from crab hunting was using a connon... (my quests are glitched and I still can't get to that unknown townsperson- so no pistol). The level 10 crabs are huge... They will attack your ship, if you miss, but I stop taking health damage.... About a +37 skill... but it helps make up for some of the bugs for me.

Oh, and now that I am on the dagger quest, and getting sunk all the time... It seems like the crabs just hang out waiting for you to try and get your ship fixed to slow you down

There is other ammo you can buy but for normal shots the lead doesn't run out. There is a townsperson in Padres that sells ammo but again its for special shots. Good luck
