Captaincy Cargo Runs

The voyage disappears the moment you collect the cargo whether you deliver it or not. For this reason, the cargo voyages have never counted towards completions.

@capnrobobobo You need to actually go out to an island to do that. Cargo runs can be started directly at the outposts.

Sadly the nature of cargo runs is pick up cargo then voyage is complete. They thought this would make the completion commendations too easy to complete so they intentionally designed them to not count toward commendations. They have been this way for yours you wont change Rares mind on their functionality.. And as milestones are just copy pasted commendations...Back when they announced they were working on cargo runs i put my 250 voyage complete commendation on hold waiting for a new more enjoyable voyage... well that didnt work out in my favor lol. Ironically cargo is also a less fun voyage which was meant to replace animals because everyone hated them.

However if you throw down animal voyages whenever your playing normally like lets say you are grinding forts just have down an animal voyage and when the timer runs out you get voyage complete even though technically thats you failing the voyage.

@capnrobobobo youre not going to win this, dont know what you keep trying to argue against everyone whos telling you why the game is the way it is.

Cargo most of the time is pick up at your spawn point. so login, pick up cargo, log off. 30-60 second completion no need to ever set sail.

yes lvl 1 voyages for OoS and Gold hoarders is usually 1 island, 2 at most, but you have to sail there which adds a few minutes to the completion and the tedious nature of having to restock.

I asked on a live stream once why messages in a bottle dont count for voyages complete to give us incentive to do them. Their response was "Messages in a bottle are generally easier to complete than a proper voyage so we didnt want them to count toward commendations" so now people just dont do them at all and they are a waste of space

@capnrobobobo I don't know what else to tell you other than you're wrong. Cargo Runs do not count, and have never counted, toward MA voyage completions. Try one yourself.

The reason is that the Cargo Runs can be started and picked up immediately. Once you've collected the last crate, the voyage disappears from the table (there is no 'Voyage Completed' banner either).

You can do any other voyage without collecting the loot but you need to sail to at least 1 other island, so there is a minimum sailing time required and they can't be spammed as quickly.

@d3adst1ck the is 100% a voyage completed banned that pops up. Also, sailing to collect cargo is exactly the same a sailing to dig up an item or kill a skeleton. I think you are confusing commodities with cargo run. Commodities are picked up at outposts cargo runs are picked up from any cargo run npc. There are a bunch of them.

I think you are the one who is confused. I made a video to show you that it definitely completes when you pick up the cargo and that there is no banner.

@capnrobobobo it has been like that for litteral years, i guess it has to do with how easily cheesable they are

@capnrobobobo None of the captaincy voyages count towards voyage completions with the trading companies. If the Cargo Run ones give you a banner, that's probably the nature of the captain voyages but it still doesn't change the fact that Cargo Runs don't count at all - and also that none of the Captain ones count.
