Buried in the island, usually near an X of some sort, there is a foraging puzzle station, which allows all crew members to forage for chests.Īnyone with officer privileges aboard the ship can order everyone to leave the island at any time from an option on the Ahoy! tab. The crew will be deposited on the atoll, and be informed to dig for treasure. Upon reaching the league point, any officer in the crew owning the ship can order the pirates aboard onto the atoll by pressing the "Dig for treasure" button located on the Ahoy! tab. This expedition will direct pirates to an atoll located at a nearby league point indicated by an X on Yer Known World and league tracker - red if the expedition is active, and grey if inactive. The buried treasure iconOne type of expedition involves receiving information pertaining to the location of buried treasure.
For example, the ship can only enter a sinking Imperial outpost if the officer is allowed to sail it into sinking battles. To sail to an expedition league point, pirates must be able to chart the entire route it appears upon in the usual way, such that the charting end-point is an island.Īny vessel that is not configured for swabbie ship transport may take part in an expedition, provided the officer has all the correct privileges. Expedition maps obtained from Explorers' halls or Black markets will contain all the league points from the island of purchase to the expedition site. Expeditions extorted from defeated brigands/barbarians will allow pirates to see the expedition league point on Yer Known World. Note that unlike sea monster hunt locations, the expedition league point will be part of a regular chartable route. Expedition information will be lost upon dividing the booty whether or not it has been completed, unless the expedition's map or compass is still on the chart table. Only one expedition may be active at any one time, though the specific active expedition may be changed by any crew member ranked officer or above on the expedition report screen. This defeated ship offers news of an expedition Expedition locations are indicated relative to the ship's currently-charted course. More information about an expedition can be found on the expedition report screen, which lists all of the current expeditions, and where they may be found. News of an expedition won from a brigand or barbarian will be displayed in the Booty Pillaged ahoy, and a new expedition will appear beneath the Yer Expeditions section on the Ahoy! tab, giving information about the currently active expedition. These maps either have crossed shovels (for a buried treasure expedition), or a sunken ship (for a shipwreck).Īll expeditions except Imperial outposts and Viking raids can further be obtained as a random reward for defeating brigands and barbarians at sea while voyaging. Additionally, some boxes may reveal maps to a buried treasure or sunken ship expedition. The explorers' hall sells maps to imperial outposts and viking raids, and compasses to find Brigand Kings.Įxpeditions which can be bought in an explorers' hall may also be found by opening a black box.
