Your client's rival has cornered the market on high-quality rum. Your client is certain that he could reproduce a similar product if only he had some casks of the original to compare it to. If you "liberate" a few of the rival's ships, he's willing to offer you a share.
Mission Notes
This is a difficult sea mission and should be done in a group. It can be soloed in a suitably high-level ship and with lots of patience and the proper tactics though.
You are on your own against a fleet of nine enemy ships, all between levels 17 and 21. There will be three escorts (which can be destroyed - or ignored if you dare do that) and six merchants, all of which need to be boarded.
Your opponents will all use dismantling shot on you, so come prepared with as many sail-repair skills and consumables as possible, and expect to spend most of the mission with limited mobility due to mast damage.
Mission Objectives
- Board all Merchantmen: 0/6
Additional Notes
This mission is the direct opposite to Embayed Rum which is given out by the business rival of this mission's NPC. It also has the exact same reward (but is a lot harder to finish, so if you just want to get your hands on a Cask of Captain's Choice Rum, you should do the other one).
However, they are not mutually exclusive - you can have both in your journal at the same time, and you can finish either of them and claim the reward even if you have already done the other one.
