Severly need help with kingshead barrels!

[OutlawZ]

Couple of tips for barrels (and crates) in Kingshead
(aswell in del Fuego and Port Royal):

Any searchable barrel or crate will yield an item during this quest.
problem is, as soon as you start searching the Guards will come running and attack you.

There are a few easy to get at barrels and crates, look for those first.
If there aren't any guards close by, you can search unattacked or maybe finish your search before a guard reaches you.

Try the top perimeter of the Forts.
Only a limited number of guards and a few isolated barrels.

Everytime you change oceans or log in, you can go back to the same barrels and crates. So if you find a couple that are easy to search, remember where they are and go back to them later.

have patience, because these searches can be frustrating...I searched crates and barrels until I was jailed, then gave up and came back to this quest at another time.

Hunt in pairs...one pirate is lookout and heads off the Guards while the other searches. If one player "dies", the other player can retreat from battle and the jailed player will be able to teleport back to them (without having to sail)...saves a lot of time and effort, and players can switch and alternate the search/fights.
