Capture Captian Gentry "Port Royal Crime Wave(hard)"
 

Usually I'm the one giving help, but in this case I just have to ask for it.

I'm at the very end of "Port Royal Crime Wave(hard)", and it's telling me to capture Captian Gentry from a 13+ Navy ship. This is my 3rd day on the quest so I have to ask, is there a minimum boat I can plunder to find him? I've sunk 7-8 lvl13 Greyhounds and a lvl 18 Centurion and he isn't appearing anywhere. As I said above, this is my 3rd day on the quest and I'm beggining to think that theres a certain type of boat that I have to atleast sink to get him...

...then again, it could always be bugged.

IDK what's up with that quest, I can't get him either and I can't drop the task. I've had this since at least the weekend, even sinking huge ships off the coast of Del Fuego isn't doing it.

Hmm, I'd truly guess it's bugged then, don't wanna call it though unless a couple more people are having this problem.

It probably is bugged. Either that or you have to sink alot more ships. Most likely bugged though.

I took me about 5 days. I'm not even sure what ship finally did it cause I just looked and it was done all the sudden. I did board a couple navy ships shortly before it was complete, but I'm not sure that's what did it.

It just took forever, and the card was not worth it :)

can;t finish it either

I actually had given up on it ever happening, but I kept it anyways just in case. Then, last night I had grouped with some guys to take on high level ships (25-34) and I got it on one of them. Like Thalore, I wasn't paying attention and it just kinda happened. My advise: don't go for it purposefully, but keep it just in case.

I lost count of how long it took for this to complete - basically I just ignored it and figured it was bugged. Then one day, the message popped up that I'd captured him. I've done the quest a second time since then and he seemed to be captured faster second time around.

Just hang on to it and wait for it to complete while doing other quests. :agapirateju3:

Sounds good to me, thanks for the help on this.

I'm having the same problem. I killed like almost everything around even a Man-O-War and i havent caught him yet.

I think the quest might be level related and one day you reach that certain level, he'll show up. I hope level 14, that'll be soon.
I'll keep you informed.

I just captured him, boarding a Man-of_War flagship. It was only the third ship I'd tried, and wasn't trying to finish this one, based on what I'd read, but there he was!

I wish I could add something more constructive, but I have completed this quest 3 times now. Each time, it took a while to capture the guy, and each time I did, I had to board a flagship.

Based on that, my assumption is that for this particular quest, the text should read capture by boarding.

Good luck!

Every chance I got, i sunk a 13+ ship, and everytime, i never found him. I finally found him when i sunk a man-o-war

Since this thread is still going on, I'll just add that I've still not captured him after all this time, doing many many high level ships + boarding.

Same here...I'm sure I've boarded/sunk well over 100 ships since I first got this quest. No biggie, I'm sure I'll be pleasantly surprised one day!
