Why do captains won't spawn? Am I doing something wrong?

  • Sometimes I will get a voyage to kill a captain, I'll go to the isle (most recent one Devil's Ridge) and I will walk with my mate for 30mins in and out caves, beaches and up and down the risks and will never see the skeletons anywhere to the point where we simply cancel the voyage.

    Am I doing or missing something here? Is it a bug or do I need to do some kind of dance to the stars to get them spawned?

    I thought that once you get the isle, skeletons will spawn somewhere in it and all I had to do was finding them and kill them.

    Any help I'll appreciate.
    Thanks!

  • @zeroworry1 Couple things to confirm ... make sure that everyone has voted on the voyage and that the voyage is activated for everyone on board.
    Make sure you're on the right island :p I've been on some islands where it seemed like I was everywhere but one spot was all it took to trigger the event.

  • I have read that sailing away from the island far enough so that when you sail back it announces the name of the island again can work as it resets the population of the island.

    However, I had to attempt this yesterday as the first three waves spawned but the final wave with the captain never happened. It did not work for me. I even tried sailing back to an Outpost, traded in what I had on board then sailed back again and still nothing. Oddly though, a single skeleton kept spawning clipped within a prop that made it unable to move. I wonder if this was causing the issue...
