Thought I'd make a simple get started guide for one of the quests with pictures.
How to begin a quest:
First you need to understand the controls. See below for the default controls for the different inputs:
Now that you have that down. Lets go find a Quest.
For this demo, I'll walk you through a solo quest from the Gold Hoarders. The object of these Quests or Voyages as they are called in-game, are to find buried treasure and take it back to the Gold Hoarder NPC to be sold. They consist of X Mark the Spot maps, and Riddles. In this one, we will do a simple X Marks the spot Treasure Hunt.
So lets get started, First Locate this fine gentleman and purchase a Voyage from him:
Next, hop aboard your Sloop and find the table. Propose and Vote for a voyage to get started.
Now that you have started a Voyage, lets see what you need to do.
Looks like you received some new Maps. Go ahead and open up the Map Radial Menu (RB or E) and get the Map out.
Now, go to your large world map on your ship, find the Island and note what direction you will need to head. In this case, we are heading South.
Alright, you have your destination, now to set sail.
Raise the Anchor
Lower the Sail
And off you go!
Don't forget to set the Sail Angle for full speed. Look at the flag above the mast to figure out which way the wind is blowing.
You have now arrived at your destination:
Be careful on your way in, you may damage your ship. Luckily you have tools to fix it onboard. Wood Planks to repair the Hull and a Bucket to throw water overboard.
Alright. Your ship is repaired, now its time to head out to the Island. Remember to bring extra Bananas for Health. It might be dangerous.
Use the Terrain, the Map and your Compass to find the X Marks the spot. The first thing I always do when on an Island is to get my compass out and find North. That way I know where I am on the Map.
Once you find it, dig it up with your shovel and bring it back to your ship. You can put it anywhere, but best to try and hide it so other Pirates don't grab it when searching your ship.
Now that you have your Treasure, you need to head back to the Outpost and sell it to the Gold Hoarder NPC. Until you do so, it can be stolen from other Pirates and all of your hard work will be wasted.
Looks like you need to head North.
Be sure to scan the horizon for any nearby ships. Probably the most important part about playing the Game. Always keep an eye out for other players, that way you can avoid fights if needed. If a ship is parked at the outpost you are heading to, change course and go to another Outpost.
But if you need to fight, there are cannons onboard.
If you make it back to the outpost alive, head to the Gold Hoarder NPC and get your rewards!
