After looking at your list of achievements I noticed a achievement for 1000 banana crates. At the current drop rate of these crates and quests from my experience basically 1 about every 10 or so days(give or take) this achievement will take over 1000 days to even get close to getting
Almost unobtainable achievement

The last time i collected 50 bananas and handed it in at the correct outpost in the contract, i was awarded about 550-600 coins. I regretted it instantly and wished i had kept all those bananas.
Exactly.
The rewards for the banana/cannonball/woodenplank crates are absurdly low, considering the work that goes into stockpiling.On another note, I don't think these crates spawn enough.
@jungo365 after further looking into how long it takes to get the crates you would technically die before you completed the achievement cause at 1 or 2 crates every about 15 days on average it would there fore take you 15k days to complete.......... Unless they put it in the weekly event that achievement is beyond retardo
I completely agree with everything said so far. I don't expect to EVER get these achievements or the commendations associated with the crates and was thinking maybe the crates could be added as part of the current merchant quests in the same way as gunpowder barrels or possibly a separate quest type. The obvious potential problem with that is the high likelihood of abuse as the crates are really handy for gathering materials more efficiently, although I'm not sure it would be a real problem overall and could potentially mean we could be collecting some supplies from enemy ships sunk aswell which I think most players would welcome.
@jungo365 I don't know about the achievement, but the commendation is for turning in banana crates ON SCHEDULE. You have to have a quest for it to count. I've turned in a whopping 0 banana crates and wood crates, and I believe 2 cannonball crates. I'm not even going to be worrying about those commendations because they're so impossible to obtain it's not even funny.
What's really funny, is for the rarest items in the game, they really aren't worth anything when you turn them in, even with a quest. We turned in a cannonball crate for a message in a bottle the other day and got like 400 gold for it. They're more useful to just keep on your ship and use as quick access instead of going below deck.
Same thing with the banana crates. Anytime we find one now, we just carry it with us to an island when doing OoS voyages. Now if only there was an ammo crate, we'd be set!
@tedakin finding them doesn't count for the achievement...you need to have a voyage or a message in a bottle mission for that
@hot-juicy-pie I never did more than complete the main game, then sold PD Zero, wasn't as good as I remembered the original as being, though it was a solid release title for the 360.
My mate bought a 360 on release day though and didn't bother with the hard drive or memory card (still unbelievable that they did that) and had to keep playing the same levels over and over!
