Dagger Quest

[MissMarple]

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.

[Minichristy]

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 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...
