Settling Accounts

Information based on version 2.15.39.0 Current game version is 2.15.46.0

Your contact claims to have discovered something about your map, specifically about the man who originally brought it to the New World. However, the book he needs most for his research has been far too damaged, so he will need you to get another copy for him. Fortunately there is one for sale in a nearby port. Unfortunately, that port is under blockade.

Mission Notes

A blockade running mission with an added twist: there will be a ship of foreign researchers who apparently want to get their hands on that book as well! So not only do you have to make it through the blockade before the timer runs out, you will also have to outrun your rival.
You will start next to each other, but he will lose no time getting underway. Sail-damaging shot is your friend here (although it doesn't seem to have a lot of effect on him until you get his sails down to under 50%).

Mission Objectives

One advantage, the wind should be in your favor!

  • Beat Your Rival to the Port.
    • Get to the Port! (3m 45s).
  • Deliver your contact's letter of Credit to the Local Trader.

Additional Information

WARNING! You should complete this mission before you accept Showdown. A mission, Settling Accounts, will have you collect your missing reward from the their Assistant.

The fix for avoiding out-of-sync ordering was to take your mission turn-in back to his "Assistant", whom will be found in the above port locations for your Nation.
