Dagger Quest
 

Has anyone completed this quest and actually gotten a dagger from Will?
He has all the materials, but Elizabeth (to keep me occupied) wants a message about her father from a "powerful" navy ship. I have searched all over the seas and can find nothing higher than a LVL 8 navy ship.
Any hints on where one was found, if one was found, would be greatly appreciated.

Ditto here. I just need the letter too, but can't seem to locate that "powerful" navy ship, although I've sunk dozens of them.
Arrrr.....

I'm in the same exact situation.

I think the ship does not exisit yet!

thats my theary too I have heard in game that the ship will only appear to us unlinmited Beta testers but i have still yet to see it.. who kn ows

I am stuck on this quest also, except I seem to be stuck a little earlier in the quest.

I have probably killed 20 Sergeants, and none of them had the Tongs.

When I started, we were supposed to find them from a "First Mate" but it changed to Sergeant while I was working on the other items.

Is there a specific Sergeant that has the tongs, or is it just random luck to find the right guy? Anyone want to share how they acquired them? :)

on padre, sargent who pops near back wall/hallway in the fort/jail.
killed them with another player, both of us got the drop of tongs
first kill.

side note: did your quest actually change, like they updated the quest while u had it going? if so it might not work.

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 :(

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.

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

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? :confused:

Who knows
 

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 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...
