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

[merash]

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.

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

[Thenelly]

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!

[Requiem]

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

[Silly Princess]

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.

[Scarlet Hunter]

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!

[WizardHawk]

I took this quest again yesturday to see if there are issues with it and ended up geting the good captain the first day. Of course I sunk a man-o-war so level may have something to do with it, but I don't think I sunk more than 2-3 ships before getting him.

[kirnmalinus]

After weeks of searching, and some 14 levels of adventuring, I finally caught commander Gentry.

Had just completed the list quest, and turned level 21 (almost simultaneously), headed out to capture the main quest captain on a Frigate, found him and Commander Gentry both hanging out on a level 10 Navy Panther.

I know this is below the level 13+ specified in the quest, so I was a bit shocked. But the quest is marked as completed in the journal and I'm on my way to Shane McGreeny.

Same here! I just sunk a level 10 Navy Panther as well and captured him.

I might send in a bug report.

[~Jade Heartbreaker~]

I haven't picked up this task but 2 members of my guild have. One has had it for 3 weeks the other 2 and no luck. We go plundering almost every night and do a lot of the flag ships and neither one of them has had any luck. One of them has been back and forth with Pirates with e-mails and no luck there they finally told her to call. Don't know if she has but when she finds out one of us will let you know.

I completed this task today after carrying it for about three weeks! Captured Captain Gentry by sinking a Man O War. FYI that it was NOT a flagship, so that's certainly not a requirement. But I had sunk DOZENS of other large Navy ships during the past few weeks, so perhaps the Man O War is the requirement, even though the text doesn't say so.
