The Father's Day quest last year was a quest to find Captian Teague. At the end of the quest, you were given a symbol next to your name that lasted for 3 hours of GAME TIME. While the symbol was there, you earned double rep. Logging out stops the game time, so unless you are activly using that pirate, your remaining double rep time is "banked".

Make sure you do the quest with EACH of your pirates. (if I remember correctly, the quest took all of 15 minutes, much like the Valentines Day quest) Even your fully Mastered ones. Even though you may not play the fully mastered pirates regularly, and they don't earn rep even if you do play them, it is probably a good thing to have the double rep time waiting for them for that magic day in the future when the rep cap is finally increased.

As Sarah said, get it on every pirate you have, it can come in handy.

[Stephen O'Malley]

If I may ask, can this quest be done at ANY level, or would I have a hard time taking out my little pirates?

[Sarah]

Any level can do it easily if it's exactly the same as last year. Here is the Wiki Entry: http://www.disneyonlineworlds.com/in...FATHER%27S_DAY

[Basil Dreadflint]

There is another trick to this.

START the quest on your pirate, but don't finish it. Last year, you could wait to finish it for months. This way, if you have a fully mastered pirate, you don't waste the double rep time every time you log in. Then, wait until the marvelous day in the far future when they raise the caps, and you can finish the quest and earn double rep right at the start.

The down side is: if they don;t raise the caps, you will never finish the quest, and next fathers day, you won't have anything to do.

Or maybe you can do both this years and next years, and get double, double rep.

If I read Wiki correctly, it starts and ends with Jack Sparrow, so when you see him the next year, wouldn't you just end up turning in your task before you can start next year?

I was teasing!

[Erich Uchiha]

I noticed that they included pictures of Cpt. Teague that looks like hes in game.
I wonder if you actually see him this year... Last year all it was was find him and your done.

[joker78217821]

Is it 3 hours real time? Or does it start/stop when you log in and out?

[nitnek]

I don't think you can do the quest if you did it last year. I had one pirate around last year and Jack said he had nothing for me. My other three pirates that have been created since were given the quest.

This if not done right and without extreme caution WILL cause a major issue. With most of us getting banned for a very dumb reason such as saying "Four".

I completely agree if i were them i would just take out curse words and racial comments. And ill bet they will ban people just like that just for saying a number.

Then again u can use for for four.

[Eliza Creststeel]

If you're worried about numbers - most folks I know use homonyms or rhyming words:

Won, Too, Tree, For, Hive, Sticks, Heaven, Ate, Mine (Can you use the German - Nein?), etc.

Curious question is - are they going to be able to pick out people doing the same thing for words that are sound alikes for obscene language.

And who is using racial slurs? Good grief... One of the cool things about pirates, I felt was that crews were sometimes made up of racially or culturally mixed groups - and that's not just in the movies but historically.

Just let us police ourselves. If a pirate is being a pig - then report him.

[The Count]

I havent really noticed us giving any reason for POCTCO to do these high sercurity measures but does this mean that if u mistype a word would that ban u because its just in red?

Someone plz answer this question
