How to unlock the Wreckless Pursuit achievement

    For this achievement to unlock you need to find the wrecked merchant boat from a Lost Shipment Voyage, without uncovering all the clues you normally find along the way.

    To start this quest you have to be at least rank 25 with the merchant alliance, buy a Lost Shipment Voyage at the merchant (the voyage with the fish and book), and start the quest by proposing it at your ships table.

    When you have started the quest, you get a map with a route which the dissappeared ship supposedly has been taking. Look at your map on your ship, and start following this route while watching for flying crowds of seagulls above the sea. These seagulls indicate something of importance is floating in the sea. Stop at the seagulls, take a dive to check if there is a sunken galleon, and if not, sail further along the route. (ignore merchant chests and blue clue bottles if you come across them)

    Once you have found the sunken merchant ship, dive to the boat and search for a very stylish skeleton with a book. Pick up the book and everyone in your crew will unlock the achievement.

    YzahkinI started a new pirate because I played so long ago I needed a clean start.

    I bought an "envelope" for 0 golds from the Bilge Rat at the tavern door, and it gave me one of these voyages. At exactly rank 0. I was lucky because I just found the sunken ship after the first clue and got the Achievement.

    FireStormHRHey both,

    @CrackedSeal3236 at the moment the servers are a bit lacking behind with everyone trying out the update, so that could delay your achievement pop massively

    @Yzahkin What you point out is very true, and for the first couple of weeks everyone regardless of rank is able to start this type of voyage via Larinna at the inn. This way of obtaining the quest is very time limited though and will only be in the game for a very short period

    FejerTried it yesterday with the free Larinna/Bilge Rats quest, got the first 2 clues, but skipped the last one (picked up the loot, but not the bottle), since it was rather clear where I need to go by looking at the initial route map and using the spyglass.

    Unfortunately it did not unlock for me, maybe due to the server delays. It was terrible yesterday: it took around 5-10 minutes for gold showing up for sold items. I saw several other ships camping at outposts waiting for they sold loot to count.

    CrackedSeal3236@FirestormHR I started the game back up and after loading in it popped. Thanks for pointing out server issues might delay it.

    dancrozierSo i found the ship but no skull book, do you need the key?

    FireStormHRHey dancrozier,

    Getting and using the key only gives extra loot, and the skeleton with the book will therefor not be in the cabin. Besides, getting the key most often requires followimg the hints ;). Make sure to also check all parts of the deck, and not just the inside of the ship.

    dancrozierThanks, I will do. There was a sloop hanging about that started attacking me so didn't get a chance for a detailed look.
