Dear pirates
, some time ago it was still possible to hand over barrels of gunpowder to the trade association with animal rides. As this is currently no longer possible, I no longer see any chance of handing in 100 barrels of gunpowder by bottle post.
Even for the fruit crates you only need 50 and these already require a lot of playing time!
Please suggest a solution!
@stanceworks415 you are totally right!! These quests can only be obtained through the lost books that appear randomly on some islands such as Croocked masts, Marauders arch or Sunken grove for example. Boxes of fruit, wood, cannonballs and barrels of gunpowder have become a mantra on a par with golden sailor cannons or Shrouded Ghost himself!!!
@burnbacon You also misunderstood my point! I am aware that this game takes time. I am also happy to invest the time, but I don't see that this change means that "time" is enough to achieve this success!
Especially when it was far easier for many players to achieve this success.
If the possibilities were here, my complaint would not be in the forum, but the fact is that many mechanics are no longer in the game so that this achievement is halfway balanced.

True enough. I’ve played for almost 1000 hours now and I’m pretty sure I’ve only come across one gunpowder delivery.
@xdragonman15558 animal rides with gunpowder deliveries must be a fix part of merchant quest again!
I can't explain why they took them away after so many years.
@stanceworks415 probably because no one would do them as pigs are annoying. I remember year one rolling quests until we got mostly gold animals and no pigs. If you captured the pig too early it would eat your entire supply of bananas (only food at the time) our ship was always loaded with all the chicken and snake crates we pulled from the bad rolls.

And? It’s a live service game. It gonna be here another couple years if more.
Yea man, this definitely makes sense.
Why should these achievements be achievable?
Bro we are not complaining about it beeing to slow, no we are complaining about it beeing completely impossible at the moment.
A few days ago I sent a ticket to support for this same problem. With the changes in the content of some crossings they have moved to the older achievements such as gifts, something that was tedious to obtain until they were put as regular loot in the burning blade. In my case, I'm not asking for it to become super easy to get the missions to deliver boxes of fruit, wood, cannonballs or barrels of gunpowder. I've spent hours looking for messages in bottles and journals. And only with a lot of luck do I get a cargo mission compared to the ten or more that I get as rewards or treasures, it seems very unbalanced to me. I find it funny how these shipments are obtained, but I find it tedious to spend 4 hours sailing and not get anything.
Pd: I am not an English speaker. I apologize if I made any spelling mistakes or if the translation does not specifically use the names used in-game. But I wanted to add an extra comment so that the problem is taken into account and can be resolved in future updates
All in all, there are 100 black powder barrels, which can only be found with bottle mail! These messages in a bottle are split into 4 missions. 3 variants are overly represented. After 5 - 8 hours of playing it happens very often to switch off the console without a cargo mission. This needs to be balanced out, as the 50:100 ratio is simply another + 200 hours!
After my support ticket I was also told that such quests can still be found in barrels on Outpost. However, I cannot confirm this.
Now that I have also searched the forum, the search term brings up ~300 posts in a period of one year.
I hope that attention will be paid to this problem!

The person that told you that was wrong - there are no voyages to be found any more in the barrels at an outpost.
