Overview
The Buccaneers quest is the faction-chain entry for the Rogue Buccaneers. It is not to be confused with the Buccaneers faction lore article. The quest asks the player to complete a set of deliveries for contacts tied to the faction, and completing it opens access to the Rogue Buccaneers Main Base and the Glorious Hunters follow-up quest.
How to Start
Players pick up the Buccaneers quest after establishing their camp and completing the early tutorial chain (see Islander and I Need a Bigger Boat). The chain is typically triggered by finding a letter or contract at a Buccaneer camp, which directs the player to bring goods to Henri Boucher.
Quest Steps
Step | Objective | Deliver To | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Gather and deliver 50 bags of Gunpowder | Early game: loot pirates. Mid-game: craft Gunpowder at the Millstones. | |
2 | Deliver tanned hides to Charlie Sharpe | Charlie Sharpe is a People of Tortuga contact. | |
3 | Deliver Rum and meat to the Rogue Buccaneers Main Base | Finishing this step unlocks the Glorious Hunters follow-up. |
Rewards
Completing the Buccaneers chain grants a substantial Rogue Buccaneers reputation boost, Letters of Favor, and access to the Rogue Buccaneers Provisioner at the Main Base.
What Unlocks Next
After Buccaneers, the Glorious Hunters side quest becomes available at the Rogue Buccaneers Main Base via Henri Boucher. The quest chain also teaches players where to find the Smugglers of Port Royal and opens the path to the Underground Network quest.
Tips
Save your Buccaneers chain until you have Millstones to farm Gunpowder. Looting 50 bags from pirates takes many raids.
Maintain two active cooked-food buffs when sailing to the Rogue Buccaneers Main Base. The surrounding waters host pirate vessels.
The Broken Musket and Marcel's diary pages found during Glorious Hunters are tied to this same NPC (Henri Boucher).
