Okay we have tried two different voyages of the new shipment lost for the merchants. WE get the last clue of "the malestrom is almost here heading toward final destination" with no coordiantes or location. We have sailed back and forth from the final clue to the destination and have not found the final shipwreck. We have also went back on the trail and looked. Is this a bug. is anyone else experiencing this.
Merchant Shipment bug?
I experienced a similar problem while playing with a friend, it was a lost shipment route from Golden Sands Outpost to Smuggler's Bay and the third clue (I don't know if it was the last) was exactly like the one you mentioned. We found a lot of seagulls flying over a spot on the route near to the destination island, but upon getting closer, there was no item floating neither a shipwreck under the surface of the water, so we decided to redo the route around all islands that were in the route map. At some point we just gave up because there was nothing pointing out what we should do or look for. We believed that the actual destination was glitched because of the empty spot with seagulls.
I still think that it was either a bug or the clue's text was wrong.
@final6002 Yup exactly what happened to us twice. And spoke with another player in the discord last night and they said same thing. Must be a bug
@ehme3697 did you follow the clue perfect. Example you start with the barrel then it said go to say a12 or did you see a flock of birds and just sail to it. Only reason I ask is my crew and also had trouble but we think it was because we would do the mission out of order and did not follow the clues. the ones we got to work we just followed them to a T. We did exactly what the next clue said then moved to the next one. if we diverted at all it seemed to bug out.
@jackal-cabooze No we got clues and followed them till we got the last clue, then searched for a flock of seagulls between the final destination, one time we found them but there was no sunken ship, the second time we couldn't find any flocks after the last clue on our route at all.
@grandma-goldy nope not a question of order for sure, we were able to find the shipwreck first on our third try, just seems to be a bug in total. do you know if your bugged one was a larinna given one? both of ours that bugged were from larinna
@ehme3697 said in Merchant Shipment bug?:

It's not Larinna exclusive, it just happened to me on a voyage i got from the merchant, it's exactly as everyone else. This one started on Dagger Tooth Outpost and went to Marauder's Arch, the first clue was a island map with a circle(Sunken Grove), them in Sunken Grove we found the key and a clue saying Q5 was dangerous, we went to Q5, there was a huge flock of birds but nothing in or under the water, a bit further we saw another flock that had another clue saying they were in a maelstrom and racing to the final destination, but there's no other flock from there to the destination, i believe the ship should spawned on Q5 where there's the huge bird flock with nothing but it bugged.
@ehme3697 When I went to do the quest we found the captain's key and were on the way to the last stop which was to find the vessel. We see the seagulls and the ship is right under. It has all the signs of the right ship and not some random sunken ship. Unique music, a dead merchant guy, and a captain's quarters that needs a key. ONLY the ship isn't the same name as the one we're looking for, there is no manifest beside the dead guy and our key cannot open the captains quarters. Maybe we stumbled upon someone else's voyage? we left to look somewhere else and when we came back it was all gone. We didn't see any other player ships in the area.
Yeah i got this bug too, going tô Golden sands. This One had more bugs, since the clues where going around Golden sands (the final destination). I even found the last clue AFTER passing by Golden sands saying to Go to the final destination (that was right next to It). I had to sail around it a lot until i found the seagulls, but there was nothing below those seagulls.
So after looking a lot i decided to try giving up on the Quest right below the seagulls, and guess what?? The seagulls instantly desappeared, that moment i was sure this was a bug.I did the voyage twice and didnt find all the clues on either but found the sunken ship both times but on the first it was at the starting point and I went down and the captain quarters was locked and I could see a bunch of merchant chests in there went and got the key unlocked and all the treasure was gone but the manifest was on the plank by a skeleton cat NO TREASURE BUT THE MANIFEST WAS THERE BUT DONT NEED THE KEY TO GET THE MANIFEST
@utteryeet We just did the Blubber's Bane missing merchant ship mission. We found all the clues, used the captain's key and there was nothing inside the entire ship!! All that work, found the ship and no treasure!
Same issue here, start at golden sands, end at finest TP. Find big flock of birds with no ship wreck or bobbing loot. Literally just manually canvassed the whole area diving in and found nothing. This is a complete waste of time for us. Although this is the first time it's happened to me, I think it's the first I've done since seasons was introduced.
strangely enough tonight i did 3 of these voyages and i couldn't find the key. i always found the shipwreck, but couldn't get into the captain's cabin for half the reward because the keys just weren't anywhere to be found.
i've done this 3 or 4 times before and always found the keys then. maybe i'm just blind tonight?@sithsaucey Just got to this error while within the Gold Rush Hour. we had 20mins to get crates from the wreck and sell at the port next door. But insteaed we had no ship :-/ Definitely cost us a ton of gold and what would have put me to PL.
