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

[Jack I]

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.

[Silly Princess]

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.

[Jack I]

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

[Colombiano]

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

[Thalore]

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

[merash]

can;t finish it either

[TopRamen]

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.

[Jack I]

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.

[Eliza Shipwrecker]

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!

[Molly Mcbane]

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!
