Alliance Merchant Commendations

  • I am writing to tell you that personally, I love completing Commendations and unfortunately, there are some Commendations, specifically those of the Merchant Alliance which are the following:

    • Merchant Forager (Deliver 50 Fruit crates on time);
    • Merchant Shipwright (Deliver 50 Wood crates on time);
    • Cast Iron Merchant (Deliver 50 Cannonball crates on time);
    • Black Powder Merchant (Deliver 100 Gunpowder Kegs on time).

    These Commendations are really hard to complete, not because of the difficulty itself, but because of the rarity, because you have to find the green bottles scattered throughout the Sea Of Thieves and you have to hope to find the missions listed above.
    Personally, whenever I find a green bottle, it gives me missions to kill skeletons or dig on an island to find some treasure, I can hardly find a mission regarding the commendations I'm talking about.
    I also add, some time ago, it was possible to vote for the merchant mission and it was possible to receive the task of delivering the gunpowder barrels.
    In fact, there is still the drawing of the gunpowder keg in some merchant missions, but unfortunately, when you select them, you do not receive any shipping tasks for the kegs or anything else.
    My request is the following, can you please increase the spawn of these missions to be able to complete the shipment? Or at least include in the missions to be delivered, the missions for the delivery of the fruit crates, the wood crates, the cannonball crates and the kegs?
    I ask you kindly because as I said at the beginning, I love collecting the commendations and it is really sad that I cannot complete some of them due to the impossibility of finding the required expedition tasks.
    I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope you can answer my request.

    With love - Vicico95

  • Hey there,

    I feel you, when I started playing years ago these quests could even be found in normal barrels at the outpost, floaty barrels. or on the islands.
    I dont know if they got actively removed from there at some point, or if they just NEVER appear there anymore since nowadays all the barrels are just stuffed with 5 million types of fireworks.

    Unfortunentately i ignored the tedious quest as a young pirate so now I am also desperately hunting down the green bottles and happily leave a FoF just to make a fruit crate delivery.

    Ahoy,
    George Mac P

  • There are already five articles about this, sooner or later we will be noticed!

    I think it was when the quest table became a thing and Rare buffed the bottle voyages to consistently have good loot. The patch notes mentioned that voyages would no longer be found in barrels.

  • Good post, keep it up lads

  • I made a post like this a few months ago, funnily enough, a week later i found one (1) voyage for a fruit crate delivery. Thats 1 voyages found in 500+ hours played this year. Real talk rare should just make it a votable voyage as it was previously (wish i did these before the change) rare saw fit to consistently decrease the difficulty of many commendations/achievements so i dont see why they dont rebalance these while they have the most cause to. Best to look at them as defacto incompletable like arena achievements for the time being

  • Another Day, another thread about this.
    It's been 3 months and we still have no way of progressing those commendations faster than the 5 Shrouded Ghosts...

    We need this to be changed!

    Lucky us, i also found a fruit crate quest yesterday. It was my first fruit crate delivery in 400 hours. I just have 38 crates to go, so in a short 15200 hours i'll have finished this bad boy.

  • @vicico95 I see a post regarding this at least once a week on these forums. By now Rare must have noticed alot of people wants this addressed

  • @hefty-henri we got a lucky crate of cannon ball delivery quest today
    and my crewmate was very happy about that one. ;-)

    We were picking up all the bottle quests for days ... and finally got one. ^^

    Itd take approx 24.500 more hours for me

    I am not on the verge of losing my sanity how could you think that

    Long term commendations...this is meant to be this way...in the first year the voyages for the wood crates weren't even in the game, but the achievement and commendation was there...
    And the original goal was 1000 of theses...so stop complaining and just go on with the search...
    I finished them by doing regular stuff, like I always do, and as soon as I found such a voyage, I stopped whatever I did, and finished that one first...

    Long term commendations... this is meant to be this way...

    When a long term commendation is based on pure luck/chance encounter, it starts to get frustrating really quick.
    It would be much better if were able to decide on our own when we want to do them. ;-)

    in the first year the voyages for the wood crates weren't even in the game, but the achievement and commendation was there...

    Yes, I remember that. And this was even worse. (O_O)'
    I do not understand why you think that this is an good example here. ^^
    ... unless you want to point out, that it always could be even worse than it is right now ... =D

    And the original goal was 1000 of these

    I would not mind to deliver 1000 wood crates to make it an actual long term commendation,
    if they change it to an on demand voyage, rather than having to rely on pure luck.


    my personal experience:
    I never enjoyed random spawn chances and luck based events in any game ever.
    It frustrates me when I have to repeat things over and over and over without having control over the outcome.
    Random spawn chance often feels like a waste of time. Grinding it with 100% success rate feels much better to me.

    For me it is much easier to see this number increase from 1 to 1000 one by one, rather than having to wait for a lucky spawn of 100.

    The whole game is made of RNG...
    I don’t think the 100% success rate would be more satisfying...it was always a huge satisfying thing for me, just to find those voyages...and it took me quite a while to finish them
