Lost shipment bug: manifest but no sunken ship?

@lancers33
This happened to me once (done them now twenty or so times).

Last clue was next to Golden Sands (the destination), and no shipwreck between that position and Golden Sands but there was a large flock of birds North-West of Sailor's Knot Stronghold that I hadn't seen when I looked for a clue on the fort.

I chalked it up to having no suitable location for the wreck, so the manifest just spawns somewhere on the route instead.

Too bad you seem to have less luck with these voyages.

Well that’s good to know it’s only happened to you 1/20 then! I won’t lose hope! Thanks for the input! :)

Same problem here, happened twice in a row over by Golden Sands.

Rare fixed it by putting the manifest on top of the water when there is a massive flock of birds..

Just had it happen. 21-04-2021
Seems large bird flock tells you your out of luck

Had it back-to-back last night while doing lost shipments in Devil's Roar. We sorta figured it was a bug with the volcanoes "sinking" the sunken ships or something bizarre like that. But it sounds like it's happening a lot around Golden Sands too.

Happened to me this afternoon.
I made 4 Lost Shipment voyages ;
First one ended with a wrong named shipwreck, unusable key (Trust me, I spent a lot of time looking for another shipwreck..)
Second one was fine, got my rewards.
Third and last one I only found manifests floating under a patch of seagulls, 0 shipwrecks.

A well spent "Gold and Glory" afternoon

I feel kinda bad because 2 days earlier, when the Gold and Glory event began, I gathered 6 Vaults keys, and didn't get any double gold/rep on all of that (Blue gems for 1k, Captains chests for 900, etc..)

Edit ; Happened to me 1 more time today
Edit 2 ; Okay 2 more times. I'm done making Lost shipments. Ever. ( That's 5 out of 6 lost shipments voyages done for almost nothing)

so me and my buddy have done like 8 of these, and 6 of the 8 have not had a ship. almost seems pointless to do these now.

@shifty189 We did one last week and when we got the birds, manifest and no ship at the end, but also got the "Voyage Complete" notice, we were pretty sure it was the reported ship glitch. Everything was gone from the wheel, no maps or clues, seemed broken.

I've complete all commendation relate to this quest and It probably happen to me 10-15 time pretty annoying to complete the cabin fever commendation

this keeps happening to me where at least half the voyages I attempt do not have a shipwreck. Only a manifest.

Same thing has happened to me 5 times in a row now and Im really frustrated about it

The same just happened to me today

Just happened to me 16/04/2021

Happened to me as well but I have the captains key. What am I supposed to do with it?

@majorpainzzz
You sell it
I just had this bug again twice in a row. Both times, just the manifest. I thought the patch notes said they added crates to collect along with the manifest?

Just had this happen to me too. Glad I’m not the only one, but it sucks because I was trying to get grade 5 :/

@briannasings16 said in Lost shipment bug: manifest but no sunken ship?:

That's disappointing. I thought the patch notes stated that the cargo was supposed to be floating along with the manifest now.

@jasonk-36o
Not to sure on the patches, I don’t pay to much attention but it happened to me twice as well. I only did it to get emissary five and I found them next to the first or second clue so I’m not too mad but I recommend just doing the new merchant stuff once your em 5. Hella gold and emissary value.

Just happened to me as well. Went through the clues and the last clue was less than a square away from the destination which I thought was weird and I had to go looking all around Smuggler's and didn't see it there. I decided to go back through the route and saw a large flock of birds but when I got there there was no ship only the manifest floating in the water and when I grabbed it, it said voyage complete. I have done a couple of these now and there was no key on about 2 or 3 of them and the time I find the key there's no ship. My route was from Golden Sands to Smuggler's and I read through this thread and it seemed like the common denominator was Golden Sands? Not entirely sure but that's my theory for now. 4-23-2021

Just had this bug 5 OUT OF 7 times. 27-04-2021

Server 1: sloop/2 voyages, both=no-ship's. Had keys for both. First voyage grabbed all the clues.

Server 2: sloop/3 voyages 1st and 3rd=no-ship's. Found all clues on the last voyage. Last no-ship was in a storm.

Server 3: sloop/2 voyages, first=no-ship. Had key. server had one clue spawn on an already active FoF. (was up before I began voyage)

I don't remember how many in total but several of the no-ship's spawned with manifests floating in completely open water, no land remotely close. nothing would indicate that the shipwreck would collide or conflict with anything.
