I'll post when I get home. We can hook up and go find the Colossus off Outcast.

I don't think it would work on the smaller flag's, but it probably would on the War Frigate and War Galleon flag's.

But, I will have full tonics when I try it again!

Congrats on taking on the "Big C" by yourself...too bad about the 3 cargo...but I'm guessing all that cotton on the seas has to do with all the new clothes in the tailor shops, lol...

Tis weird though how the whole drop system works...I too have taken on a KF to get 3 royals, yet on the harder flags you either do or don't...same goes for harder ships...I'm out there sinking Juggies and Death Omens by myself just to get...

*wait for it*

yep, you guessed it...more cotton cargo crates...while at the same time I can sink a Phantom and get a royal or 2...even the little galleons and frigates have at times given out more then their big brother counterparts lately...

Takes me about 10 minutes to do it with the Doll, doing two or three at a time (I can attune three). After the first two sets drop though (say 5 total - taking about 6 minutes draining, swarming, poking and the like) - I'll usually switch to sword if theres only three left and try to take them that way (or hurt two really bad - swtch to doll and run again - they fall pretty fast then). The last one is all Bladestorm

Three crates... the other bad surprise you get with Colossus after a hard run :P Glad ya made it off though

"Live to fight another day I say!"

I've found that usually right after the lvl 9's, the next time it spawns, it's usually lvl 30+. I've been stuck on it 3x where all the dudes were lvl 37's. I was like lvl 33 or so & whole crew died twice, only one time did we win coz half the crew were lvl 40s & everyone was either withering or flamming skull like crazy lol.

My staff was only lv9 at the time, so that wasn't an option. Until this incident I had not considered grenades a good weapon upon boarding a flag. I may just try it again to see how well I do.

If you end up liking grenades, I'd recommend saving your points to max out siege charge LOL...

Yup, got 4 royals off the flag Man of War today, I was like "woooah" never had that happened before on the MoW, just on the Collosus sometimes & got 2 royals off a Bloodhound the other day...so weird.
