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.....

[Ichix]

I'm in the same exact situation.

[Minichristy]

I think the ship does not exisit yet!

[wildtaz999]

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

[GraceWildRage]

Well, I learned one thing. Just because you have finished part of the quest and have taken it back to Will and got the credits, and it shows your task as a certain % done, you can not drop it. Now I finished the other parts and when I took it to Will he said, "Not going to ask where you got it from" or something like that and then had nothing for me. Arg! Live and learn I guess!

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.

[piratesahoy]

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

[MouseTyme]

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?

[Magnet]

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 can't even begin to tell you how many I have taken out. I just got them yesterday. In Port Royal... was just inside working skills and happened to get it . I must have killed...maybe 10+.

[Reebee]

I'd taken out at least 40 sergeants and thought it was hopeless and gave up for a while. Then I was just working on raising my cutlass level on some guards in the fort on Padres Del Fuego. A sergeant popped up so I went for him and was shocked when it said I had acquired the tongs!

I've done this quest about three times now (on the same character) because of bugs and now I finally have the tongs but I cannot seem to get the silver ingots, which were no problem for me in past attempts on the quest.

They definitely seem to be fine tuning the difficulty levels in each task.
