Arrival in Alexandria

This guide will help us to do the first steps in the fascinating game of Adventurer, Merchants and Pirates and explains the most important game features.

After we finished the tutorial, we start at the docks of the Egyptian city Alexandria. We look around and recognize that someone is waiting for us. It's Delacro and he helps us to choose the type of Adventure we want to play.

We talk to him and choose the option "A captain fighting against pirates”.

He suggests that we join the „Ares Warrior Alliance“, and presents us some resources. With these resources we are able to rebuild our normal ship to a battleship.

So we meet the “Shipyard Boss“, and choose the Option “Trade & Repair“.

To rebuild our ship to a battleship, we have to choose the option „Ship Rebuild“. Now we choose the tab “Battle Ship“. In that tab we click on the icon of the Level 2 - Light Armed Ship. Here we get more information about the values of the ship after the rebuild. We click on the dark-brown marked arrow and confirm the rebuild of the ship with the button “Rebuild“, at the bottom left. The materials for the rebuild which we have already received from Delacro will be used automatically.

Now we are able to baptize our ship with a self chosen and significant name. To do so we choose the option “Name Ship“.

After we rebuild our ship, we leave the Shipyard Boss and do a u-turn to meet the strange looking guy right behind us.

This guy is the “Voyage Tutor“. He will provide us with some important information about our character. Take some time to visit him. It's worth the trouble.

Well, the docks were quite interesting, but what about the city? We take a walk over the big steps to the gates and enter downtown.

After entering we meet a very important person directly to the left of the city gates.

He is the “Skill Tutor“. He will help us upgrade the most important things in this game, the Skills. We should read his explanations of each skill, because these explanations will provide us with a good insight into upcoming possibilities.

Now we learn a Land Fighting Skill like “Falchion-fighting“, or “Axe-fighting“. We should also learn the “Medicine Skill“, because it will be very helpful in the course of our adventure.

General Hint: At the “Skill Tutor“, we are able to upgrade our Skills to Phase 2 once we have reached Level 31. If we forget to upgrade a skill to Phase 2 once it has reached Level 31, we will lose some valuable experience points, because our experience points won't rise any higher until we have upgraded to Phase 2.

General Hint: We are able to upgrade 7 Skills to phase 2. One exception is the “Voyage Skill“, which is already raised to phase 2 from the beginning. So there is no need for us to upgrade that skill to Phase 2.

Now we take a look at the “Special Skills“. There we'll see all Skills which have already learned. For some Skills we will see the so called “Special Skill Points“, with which we are able to learn “Special Skills“.

Those who act upon impulse might become obsessed with the ambitious Skill tree of Bounty Bay Online. Because of that we should read the complete text, before we disperse points or learn something at the Skill Tutor.

But luckily we have the Tool Tips appearing as a mouse-over effect at the individual Skills. Just hold the mouse cursor over a skill you might want to learn, and the Tool Tip will appear.

As the next step we will choose some special skills fitting to our character.

In this case we will learn “Alert“, as a special skill because it raises the destructiveness of our cannons as well as decreasing the damage taken by our ship from enemies. A side effect of this skill is the allowance of your ship's speed, but it only has humble meanings.

We have chosen the classic battle-weapon, the sword. Now we also want to learn the special skill “Stab“, because this skill will randomly raise the chance of causing very severe injury to your enemy.

For when we are injured by an enemy, we should also learn the special skill “Healing“, so that we are able to heal ourself. This special skill belongs to the main-skill “Medicine“. Once we've learned “Healing“, it increases the health effect of healing potions.

Now we take a further look around and meet this gentleman:

General hint: With CTRL + M we can open the main map. This helps us to gain an overview of the city area.

Now we will buy some Arabic battle uniform for men from the tailor. This sort of uniform is very important for warriors, because with it you gain certain defence advantages. Later on in the game there will be loads of different advantages which you can gain from different battle wear. But for now we will go on.

We have to look for the Alchemist. Once we find him we will buy some healing potions.

We are well equipped right now, so now we are able to accept the first task from the Ares Warrior Alliance. We will now meet the Ares Warrior Alliance Master.

Ares Warrior Alliance

We now apply for membership at the Ares Warrior Alliance Master. After we have joined the Ares Warrior Alliance, the Master will have some tasks for us. The tasks are luckily classified from easy to hard, so we can accept them sequentially. We accept the task “Collect Spines”. The spines can be obtained from the hedgehogs in the suburbs of Alexandria.

On our way to the suburb we should sort out our shortcut bar at the bottom of the screen with useful features.

To do this, we have to open the feature “Command“, in the steering wheel or push CTRL +A. This steering wheel contains the core characteristics of settings of the game and we should get familiar with it as soon as possible to understand all the relevant and helpful options.

There will be three tabs: Interaction, On Land & At Sea.

Here it is also very helpful to read the Tool Tips carefully. In this case we can just click on an icon which we want to put into the shortcut bar. To do so we choose a function, left-click it, hold it and drag it down in the shortcut bar. Choose a place you like and drop it over that place. Just a simple Drag & drop method. From the “Interaction“ tab we should choose the following options:
- Make Team: Send an invitation to other players to form a common team.
- Leave Team: Leave the team. If you are the leader (founder) of the team, this action will disband the complete team.
- Exchange: This opens an exchange-window between two players once the other player confirms the exchange. Here you can share many items with other players.

From the “On Land“ tab choose the following options:
- Rest: Accelerates the regeneration of health (HP) and stamina (SP) points.
- Force Attack: Attacks an aimed target.
- Healing: As long as we have healing potions, we can heal ourself as well as other players with that option. Attention: Using this option will use stamina points.

Now we have to set up the shortcut bar for actions on land. We also could add some icons for the body language from the “On Land“ tab. But that is only nice to have and they only work if our character isn't equipped with weapons.

In the course of the game our character will gain many different special abilities. All these new abilities can also be added in the shortcut bar.

General Hint: Occasionally we will find some shells on the beach. We can collect them to give them to “Atesh“ in Alexandria later on who can authenticate them for us.

Our warrior is ready to go!

Task 1: Collect Spines

You can find the hedgehogs in the suburbs of Alexandria. We collect 20 pieces like it's said in the mission log (CTRL + F) and give them to the Ares Warrior Alliance Master. We will receive a nice reward: 8000 silver coins and some battle wear.

General Hint: After we have completed the task we should go to the Adventurer Alliance Master near the Alexandrian docks to join the Adventurer Alliance. When we have done this, our ship will gain some experience points for voyage when we are on high seas.

Task 2: Wool

The tailor wants to make us some clothes for free. For this we have to bring him 2 baskets of wool. We can get them in the suburbs of Alexandria. Goats and Bellwethers are perfect to get some wool from, the reward is opulent.

Task 3: Crete Peg Leg Smuggling Ship

General Hint: Before we set sail, we have to find the Shipyard Boss, to arm our ship.

n “Ship Property“(CTRL + Z) we can take a look at the condition of our ship and adjust it according to our wishes. There are different accessories available and can be equipped depending on the ships' class and level. We should buy 2 low-level repair kits for some offshore ship repairing and 2 low-level medic kits for our sailors and put them in our ship.

Later in the game there are many different types of cannons with many different characteristics we can use. But at the moment we can only equip our ship with level 1 cannons. We should buy 14 cannons and arm our ship with them.

In the game there are different types of ship armour to choose. At the moment we can only choose Level 1 armour, which we buy and equip the ship with. Munitions are an essential component of every warship. We should always make sure that we take enough munitions with us.

General hint: It's possible to use different types of munitions. We always should pay attention to the properties of the munitions and where we bought them.

Already equipped? Then we now proceed to the “Docker“.

We should not forget to hire some sailors before we set sail, if all the sailors die the ship will sink.

There are two places where we are able to hire and also heal our sailors. The first place is the Docker of any city, but if we want to save some money we can go to the tavern. There you can always find some sailors willing to work for less money.

To keep our sailors in good spirits, we need some provisions. For the journey to Crete we should take 500 units of provisions with us, this should be enough.

Now we set sail to Crete!

While sailing, we can use the handy map (CTRL + M) to gain an overview at sea. With this map it's much easier to navigate.

Now we travel to the coast of Crete and start searching for some “Peg Leg Smuggling“ ships from Crete. They always try to get by the observing frigates patrolling the area. Sink 5 of the smuggler ships and travel back to Alexandria.

Task 4: Kill Wild Wolfs

Now, we travel to Thassos or Lemnos island and search for Wild Wolves. Because it is very dangerous there, we should buy some healing potions. Maybe someone from Alexandria can join us. We can ask fort others to join in the city chat.

The Thassos and Lemnos isles can be found north of Crete, on the way to Constantinople. When we have submited this task in Alexandria, we should be strong enough to travel to Athens.

Athens

If we walk through the docks we will find the Investigation officer.

He asks us for our objectives. We should answer to his questions, because than we will get a small present.

Task 1: Collect Crab Pincers

We can find the crabs on Athens beach. We collect 8 of them as described in our mission log (CTRL+F) and give them to the Ares Warrior Alliance Master to finish the task. We get 8000 silver coins and battle wear as our reward.

Task 2: Take the Letter

For this task we have to sail back to Alexandria and get a letter from Dysseus.

Task 3: Task of hides

Mahmoud in Alexandria needs pieces of worn hide immediately to sew battle uniforms for the Ares Warrior Alliance.

We should go to Athens Suburb to kill Red Foxes until we find a piece of worn hide.

Now that we have the worn hide, we should go back to Mahmoud in Alexandria to submit this task.

Task 4: “Strike Smuggling“

The Ares Warrior Alliance Master tells us that the smuggling activities are rampant these days. We should sink five Crete Peg Leg Smuggling Ships.

It is really easy to finish this task. We can look for the process in the “General Chat”.

Our target is the little black ships. Which type they are we can see by moving our mouse cursor over them. If the class matches the task, we should attack the ship.

If there is enough loading capacity available in our ship, we can loot the wreckage of the pirate ships we sink. We can sell the goods at the trader in the next city.

After we have sunk all five ships, we talk to the Ares Warrior Alliance Master again to submit this task.

Now we set sail to Constantinople. There we look for the local Ares Warrior Alliance Master. On our way to Constantinople we can buy some goods to sell them for profit there.

Constantinople

Task 1: Peasants Anxiety

For this task we have to collect 3 baskets of hare fur in Constantinople Suburb.

Task 2: Going to Alexandria

Maroondah needs 20 crab pincers from Alexandria beach. We can find him at Alexandria Port.

After that we will get the task to sink five Crete Peg Leg Smuggling Ships.

Task 3: Slaughter task

We have to kill 15 goats in the suburb.

Task 4: Eliminate Wild Wolves

An old mans son was killed by the Wild Wolves. Our task is to find two of them and kill them.

Hint: We can’t find these wolves in Constantinople. It was a tragic exploration, the son was killed on Thassos or Lemnos. We search there for the wolves, but we should be careful because it is very dangerous there.

Beirut

Task 1: Worn hides

We have to bring a piece of worn hide to the Ares Warrior Alliance Master.

Task 2: Escort Present

We have to transport a birthday present to Helen, who is in the tavern in Athens.

Task 3: Attack Smuggling Ships

In this task we have to sink 2 Crete Peg Leg Smuggling Ships.

Task 4: Goat Hunting

We get the task to kill 10 goats in the suburb.

Task 5: Reconstruct Battle Ships

We have to sink 5 Crete Peg Leg Smuggling Ships. After that we have to sink one Crete Peg Leg Armed ship.

Hint: This ship class can be found in battlefields.

Task 6: Escort Goods

We have to deliver goods to Abd Al-Baqir in Constantinople.

Task 7: Help Merchants

We have to go to Tripoli and buy some beef and deliver it to a merchant in Beirut.

Hint: To buy beef, we need the special skill “Purchasing“ Level 2. If our eloquence is not high enough to buy it by ourselves, we can ask in city chat. Maybe a friendly player can buy it for us.

Ship-rebuilding

Now we should rebuild our ship to level 2.

It is important to know that we need voyage skill 11 or higher as a warrior. Our ship needs level 10 in Military Equipment, to rebuild it to level 2.

We need the following items to upgrade our ship to level 2:

- 10 Pure Iron
- 10 Pig Iron
- 10 Level 2 Timber
- 10 Level 1 Timber
- 10000 silver coins

To get these items you should look into our crafting guide, or buy these items from other players, which is the fastest way.

Hint: We can carry the items either on our character, or in our ship cargo hold. The shipyard boss will accept the items from either place.

Now that we have all the items, we should sail to Genoa. The shipyard boss here is the only one who can upgrade our ship to level 2.

With the rebuilding of our ship, we will finish this guide.

Arrival in Athens

This guide will help us to do the first steps in the fascinating game of Adventurer, Merchants and Pirates and explains the most important game features.

After we finish the tutorial, we start at the docks of Athens. We look around and recognize that someone is waiting for us. It's Langer and he helps us to choose the type Adventure we want to experience.

We talk to him and choose the option "A Captain Fighting against Pirates".

He suggests that we join the “Ares Warrior Alliance“, and presents us with some resources. With these resources we are able to rebuild our normal ship into a battleship.

So we meet the “Shipyard Boss“, and choose the Option „Trade & Repair“.

To rebuild our ship to a battleship, we have to choose the option “Ship Rebuild“. Now we choose the tab “Battle Ship“. In that tab we click on the icon of the Level 2 - Light Armed Ship.

After we rebuild our ship, we leave the Shipyard boss and find the strange looking guy right behind us.

This guy is the “Voyage Tutor“. He will provide us with some important information about our character. Take some time to visit him. It's worth the trouble.

Tip: With ALT+R you can switch between running and walking.

If we walk through the docks we will find the Investigation officer.

He asks us for our objectives. We should answer his questions, because than we will get a small present.

The docks were interesting, but what about downtown? We go through the gate into downtown. After we enter it, on the right side is a very important person in the game.

He is the “Skill Tutor“. We start to talk to him to help us upgrade one of the most important things of this game, the Skills. Now we should read his explanations of each Skill, because these explanations will provide us with a good insight into upcoming possibilities.

Now we should choose a Land Fighting Skill like “Falchion-fighting“, or “Axe-fighting“ to learn. We should also learn “Medicine Skill“, because it will be very helpful in the course of our adventure.

General Hint: At the “Skill Tutor“, we are able to upgrade our Skills to Phase 2 once we have reached Level 31. If we forget to upgrade a skill to Phase 2 once it has reached Level 31, we will lose some valuable experience points, because our experience points won't rise until we have upgraded to Phase 2.

General Hint: We are able to upgrade 7 Skills to phase 2. An exception is the “Voyage Skill“, which is already raised to phase 2 from the beginning. So there is no need to upgrade that skill to Phase 2 ourselves.

Now we take a look at the “Special Skills“. There we'll see all our purchased Skills. For some Skills we will see the so called “Special Skill Points“, with which we are able to learn “Special Skills“.

Those who act upon impulse might become obsessed with the ambitious Skill tree of Bounty Bay Online. Because of that we should read the complete text, before we disperse points or learn something at the Skill Tutor.

For when we suffer injury from an enemy, we should learn the special skill “Healing“, so that we are able to heal ourselves. This special skill belongs to the main-skill “Medicine“. Once we've learned “Healing“, it increases the health effect of healing potions.

As we walk to Athens downtown after some time we may find these three guys.

General hint: With CTRL + M we can open the main map. This helps us to gain an overview of the city area.

Now we will buy some Arabic battle wear for men from the tailor. This sort of wear is very important for warriors, because with them you gain certain defence advantage. Later on in the game there will be loads of different advantages which you can gain by battle wear. But for now we will go on.

Next to the tailor we can find the alchemist. We should buy some healing potions from him.

We are well equipped right now, so we can accept the first task for the Ares Warrior Alliance. We will now meet the Ares Warrior Alliance Master.

Ares Warrior Alliance

We now apply for membership from the Ares Warrior Alliance Master. After we entered the Ares Warrior Alliance the Master will have some tasks for us.

The tasks are luckily classified from easy to hard, so we can accept them sequentially. We accept the task “Collect Crab Pincers “. We can find them at the docks.

On our way to the beach we have to sort out our shortcut bar at the lower end with useful features.

To do that, we have to open the feature “Command“, in the steering wheel or push CTRL +A. This steering wheel contains the core characteristics of settings of the game and we should get to know it as soon as possible to understand all the relevant and helpful options.

There are three tabs: Interaction, On Land & At Sea.

There are two places where we can hire and also heal sailors. The first place is of course the Docker of any city. But if we want to save some money we can go to the tavern, there you will find sailors who cost less.

To keep you sailors spirits up, you will need some provisions. For the journey to Crete we should take 500 units of provisions with us, that should be enough.

Now we will set sail to Egypt!

While sailing we can use the handy map (CTRL + M) to gain an overview at sea. With this map it's much easier to navigate.

Now that we have arrived in Alexandria, we need to look for Dysseus in downtown.

Back in Athen we meet with the Ares Warrior Alliance Master to submit this task. He will reward us with 15.000 silver coins and some experience points.

Task 3: Task of hides

Mahmoud in Alexandria needs pieces of worn hide immediately, to sew battle uniforms for the Ares Warrior Alliance.

We should go to Athens Suburb to kill Red Foxes, until we find a piece of worn hide.

When we have the worn hide, we should go back to Mahmoud in Alexandria to submit this task.

Task 4: “Strike Smuggling“

The Ares Warrior Alliance Master tells us, that the smuggling activities are rampant these days. We should sink five Crete Peg Leg Smuggling Ships.

It is really easy to finish this task. We can look at our progress in the “General Chat”.

Our target is the little black ships, the type of ships they are we can see by moving our mouse cursor over them. If the class matches to the task we should attack them.

If there is enough loading capacity available in our ship, we can also loot the wreckage of the pirate ships we sink. We can sell the goods at the trader in the next city.

After we sink all five ships, we talk to the Ares Warrior Alliance Master again to submit this task.

Now we set sail to Constantinople. There we look for the local Ares Warrior Alliance Master. On our way to Constantinople we can buy some goods to sell them for a profit there.

Constantinople

Task 1: Peasants Anxiety

For this task we have to collect 3 baskets of hare fur in Constantinople Suburb.

Task 2: Going to Alexandria

Maroondah needs 20 crab pincers from Alexandria beach. We can find him at Alexandria Port.

After that we will get the task to sink five Crete Peg Leg Smuggling Ships.

Task 3: Slaughter task

We have to kill 15 goats in the suburb.

Task 4: Eliminate Wild Wolves

An old mans son was killed by the Wild Wolves. Our task is to find two of them and kill them.

Hint: We can’t find these wolves in Constantinople. It was a tragic exploration, the son was killed on Thassos or Lemnos. We search there for the wolves, but we should be careful because it is very dangerous there.

Beirut

Task 1: Collect a worn hide

We have to bring a piece of worn hide to the Ares Warrior Alliance Master.

Task 2: Escort Present

We have to transport a birthday present to Helen, who is in the tavern in Athens.

Task 3: Attack Smuggling Ships

In this task we have to sink 2 Crete Peg Leg Smuggling Ships.

Task 4: Goat Hunting

We get the task to kill 10 goats in the suburb.

Task 5: Reconstruct Battle Ships

We have to sink 5 Crete Peg Leg Smuggling Ships. After that we have to sink one Crete Peg Leg Armed ship.

Hint: This ship class can be found in battlefields.

Task 6: Escort Goods

We have to deliver goods to Abd Al-Baqir in Constantinople.

Task 7: Help Merchants

We have to go to Tripoli and buy some beef and deliver it to a merchant in Beirut.

Hint: To buy beef, we need the special skill “Purchasing“ Level 2. If our eloquence is not high enough to buy it by ourselves, we can ask in city chat. Maybe a friendly player can buy it for us.

Ship-rebuilding

Now we should rebuild our ship to level 2.

It is important to know that we need voyage skill 11 or higher as a warrior. Our ship needs level 10 in Military Equipment, to rebuild it to level 2.

We need the following items to upgrade our ship to level 2:

- 10 Pure Iron
- 10 Pig Iron
- 10 Level 2 Timber
- 10 Level 1 Timber
- 10000 silver coins

Hint: We can carry the items either on our character, or in our ship cargo hold. The shipyard boss will accept the items from either place.
To get these items you should look into our crafting guide, or buy these items from other players, which is the fastest way.
Now that we have all the items, we should sail to Genoa. The shipyard boss here is the only one who can upgrade our ship to level 2.

With the rebuilding of our ship, we will finish this guide.

Now we have arrived in Alexandria, we should first visit Delacro.

 

We talk to him and tell him we want to join the Adventurer Alliance. He gives us the assignment to rebuild our ship into an Adventure Ship. To do this he will give us the needed items and will send us to the shipyard boss.

Hint: With CTRL+M it is possible to open the map and look for the position of the shipyard boss.

After clicking on the shipyard boss, we choose the function “Ship Rebuilding”. Then we click on the last tab and rebuild our ship into an Adventure Ship.

Hint: We can give our ship a new name. To do this you can use the function “Name Ship”.

To improve our “Muscle Strength”-Skill and earn some Silver Coins, we go to the Docker. We can ask him to get a job to “Carry”. He will give us an item and send us to the “Trader”. As we give this item to the “Trader” he will award us with some Silver Coins and some experience points for “Muscle Strength”-Skill. To find the “Trader” we have to go to “Athens downtown”. The map function helps us again to find the “Trader”.

After that we should visit the “Tavern”. We can find its location on the map. We enter the tavern and talk to the “Tavern boss”. We can recruit sailors from him.

Sailors are necessary to sail, and especially important for adventure. The price to recruit sailors in the tavern is only half as much as from the Docker. The healing of sailors is cheaper here too.

Now that we have equipped our ship with sailors, we should visit the Adventurer Alliance Master. There we join the Adventurer Alliance and then we can get a task.

We start with the task “test of will”. To solve this mission we have to find the African elephant. First we should buy at least 1,000 provisions. To set sail we click on Sail Off and High Seas.

Attention: If we run out of provision, our ship will only sail at minimum speed and we will not gain any experience points.

 

We can find the coordinates in our Logbook. Near them we will found the African elephant.

 

When we arrive near the coordinates, we should be able to see sparkles. If we can’t see them, we can try sailing from different directions to the coordinates, until it starts to sparkle.

Here we can start to search for the animal. To do this, we click on “Discovery” in the shortcut bar or press (F7). First we will assign 30 from our 50 sailors to the search.

Hint: We can reduce our sailing speed near the search area to save provisions. We can do this with the blue arrows under the mini map.

If we get a message the first time, that there is nothing and we should choose another position, don’t worry, it’s normal. In this case we should change our position until it sparkles again and try again. It is possible, that we will have to retry several times.

If a sailor has found the elephant we will see this icon, on the right side of the screen.

Now we can sail back to Alexandria. We have to click onto the docks to enter the offshore scene. Than we have to sail directly to the docks.

Once we arrived at the docks, we can tie up with a left click to enter the city.

Now we should authenticate our finding. To do this we must go to someone who can authenticate it. In Alexandria it is Artes, he is located in the city, near the obelisk.

When we have a confirmation of the discovery, we will gain reputation and some silver coins. If Artes is not there, we will have to wait until morning (he is only there during the daytime). Now we can go to the Adventurer Alliance Master and submit our task. He will give us a reward and will offer us more tasks. We will now choose “Collecting Sea Shells”. For this task we must sail to Athens, but we have to heal our sick sailors and replace the sailors who died during our previous exploration. To do this, we should visit the tavern again. Now we have to go to the docker to buy provisions and to set sail to Athens!

Hint: In this case the map is helpful as well. We can open it with CRTL+M. Athens is already listed and with a right-click on Athens on the map, we can set a rough course. We will however have to navigate around any possible obstacles ourselves.

Now we can go ashore in Athens and look for the beach next to the docker. On the beach we can search for the sea shell. If we have found it we can left-click it to put it into our inventory. We will get the message in the right side of our screen that we have discovered something. We need to take the sea shell back to Artes to authenticate it. After he has authenticated our finding, we can submit this mission to the Adventurer Alliance Master.

Important: It is necessary to have enough provisions on board. If we haven’t got enough, we can only sail at minimum speed and we will not gain any experience points in navigation. To solve this issue, we only have to buy provision again. It is necessary to have enough sailors on board, as well. If there are no sailors left, our ship will sink.

After solving this mission, we will take the next mission from the Adventurer Alliance Master called “Discovery of Insects”, for which we have to search for a snail.

To discover the snail, we have to set sail again and send our sailors out, to find it. The coordinates are in our logbook. We have to sail there and look for the sparkle.

After finding the snail, we have to get it authenticated and then we can submit this mission. After solving this mission we will take the next mission, called “Prehistorical Footprints”.

We need to make sure that we have a complete crew and enough provision.

Hint: By solving some missions we will find some cities. We can visit them any time, for example to recruit new sailors, or by provision.

We need to go to the indicated coordinates, find the discovery and have it authenticated. After that we can submit the mission at the Adventurer Alliance Master.

Now we will take the next mission called “Discovery of Rare Animals (Sable Antelope)”. The antilope is located between Algiers and Tripoli.

After we discover the antilope, we must go to Artes to have it authenticated. Then we can submit the task to the Adventurer Alliance Master and accept a new task.

The name of this mission is “Discovery of Rare Animals (Gorilla)”.

After solving this mission we can start our first large mission.

 

The name of this mission is “Test of Heroes - The First Milestone”. We will take this mission after submitting the last one to the Adventurer Alliance Master.

For this mission, we have to find the four cities Athens, Konstantinopel, Beirut and Alexandria. As we are a citizen of the Ottoman Empire, there is no need to locate them because we know them already.

After discovering Olympia we should replenish the used provision again and recruit new sailors, if necessary.

The next finding is the Clove. We can find it at -400.2 / -137.3 between Alexandria and Beirut.

After finding the Clove we can, if necessary, sail to Alexandria as it is near, to recruit new sailors and buy new provisions.

The last finding we have to discover is the Giraffe. It’s near Tripoli in the east, near coordinates -142.7 / -122.6.

Hint: If our ship gets damaged at sea, we can repair it ourselves, however it must not move while repairing. The repair-function can be found in our action bar. To repair the ship, we choose the repair-function, open our ship-window (CRTL+Z) and click on our ship in this window.

After discovering the Giraffe we will sail as fast as possible to Athens. There we will talk to Pascal, and have him authenticate our finding. After that we can go to the Adventurer Alliance Master to submit this task. As a reward for this task we will receive a map for the eastern Mediterranean Sea. This map is in our inventory (CRTL+C). We can add it to our map function (CRTL+M) by right clicking on it.

 

Now that we have finished all tasks in Alexandria, we should sail to Athens. There is an Adventurer Alliance Master here as well. We talk to him and accept the task “The New Expedition”. After discovering the animal we should go to Pascal. He is not always at his post (only during the daytime). If he isn’t there, we have to wait for him. He can authenticate our findings.

After authenticating the finding we can submit the task and directly start the next one “Discovery of Insects (Termite)”. After completing this task, we will accept the task “Prehistory Footprints”. We have to make sure that we have enough sailors and provisions on our ship every time. After completing this task we choose a new task called “Discovery of Rare Animals - The finding of Chinese Pangolins”. We can complete it and submit it in Athens, as well.

Now we should accept and solve the task “Seduction of Fragrance”. After completing this task, our ship maneuverability should have reached level 10. If it hasn’t we have to do some more tasks.

As our character needs level 5 seabattle to rebuild our ship to level 2 we have to sail back to Athens. In Athens we can buy some cannons and 300 cannon balls at the shipyard boss.

After that we go to the Ares Warrior Alliance Master and join the Ares Warrior Alliance.

We need to learn one land based fighting skill like Falchion-fighting, to get a task from Ares Warrior Alliance Master. To learn this skill we need to go to the skill tutor. More information regarding land based fighting skills can be found in our warrior guide.

There is no need for us to fight on land, but we need this skill to get a mission from Ares Warrior Alliance Master. As we need the skill seabattle, we choose a task on sea. In this case its name is “Take the Letter”. We have to pick up a letter from Dysseus in Alexandria. We may run into pirates on our way, that’s why we bought the cannons. Now we will sail to Alexandria. Dysseus is near Ares next to the obelisk. He will give us the letter if we talk to him. When we have the letter, we should sail back to Athens as soon as possible to submit this task.

 

After completing the mission by delivering the letter to the Ares Warrior Alliance Master in Athens, our seabattle skill should be level 5. Now we can sail to Genoa to rebuild our ship to level 2. It is only possible in Genoa to upgrade the ship to level 2.

We need following items to upgrade our ship to level 2:

- 10 Pure Iron
- 10 Pig Iron
- 10 level 2 Timber
- 10 Level 1 Timber
- 10000 silver coins

 

Hint: We can carry the items either on our character, or in our ship cargo hold. The shipyard boss will accept them from either place.

To get these items you should look into our crafting guide, or buy these items from other players, which is the fastest way.

Additional to the items, our ship needs to have level 10 maneuverability, and our character needs level 11 navigation and level 5 seabattle. If we meet all these requirements, we can now rebuild our ship to level 2.

Now we have arrived in Athens, we should first visit Archileas.

We talk to him and request to join the Adventurer Alliance. He gives us the assignment to rebuild our ship into an Adventure Ship. To do this he gives us the needed items and sends us to the shipyard boss.

Hint: With CTRL+M you can open the map and look for the position of the shipyard boss.

After clicking on the shipyard boss, we choose the function “Ship Rebuilding”. Than we click on the last tab and rebuild our ship into an Adventure Ship.

Hint: We can give our ship a new name. To do this you can use the function “Name Ship”.

To improve our “Muscle Strength”-Skill and earn some Silver Coins, we go to the Docker. We can ask him for a job to “Carry”. He will give us an item and sends us to the “Trader”. As we give this item to the “Trader” he will award us with some Silver Coins and some experience points for “Muscle Strength”-Skill. To find the “Trader” we have to enter “Athens”. The map function helps us again to find the “Trader”.

After that we should visit the “Tavern”. We will also find its location on the map. We enter the tavern and talk to the “Tavern boss”. We can recruit sailors from him.

Sailors are necessary to sail, and especially important for adventurers. The price to recruit sailors is only half the price at the tavern as at the Docker. The healing of sailors is cheaper here too.

Now that we have equipped our ship with sailors, we should visit the Adventurer Alliance Master. There we will join the Adventurer Alliance and we can get a task.

We are starting with the task “The New Expedition”. To solve this task we have to find Boobies. First we need to buy a minimum of 1,000 provisions. To set sail we click on the docker, select Sail Off and High Seas.

Attention: If we run out of provisions, our ship will only sail with minimum speed and we will not gain any experience points.

We can find the coordinates in our Logbook. Near these coordinates we will find boobies.

After arriving near the coordinates, we should find sparkles. If we do not see the sparkles, we just have to sail to the coordinates from different directions until we see them.

At this spot we can start to search for the animal. To do this, we click on the “exploring” button in our action bar, or press (F7). Now we must assign 30 of our 50 sailors to the search.

Hint: We can reduce the sailing speed near the discovery coordinates to save provisions. We can do this with the blue arrows under the mini map.

If we get a message that says there is nothing and we should choose another position, don’t worry, it’s normal. In this case we just need to change our position until it sparkles again and try again. We may have to retry several times.

When a sailor finds the boobies, we will see this icon on the right side of the screen.

Now we can sail back to Athens. We have to click onto the docks to enter the offshore scene, and then we can sail directly to the docks.

Once we have arrived at the docks, we can tie up with a left click to enter the city. Now we need to have our finding authenticated. To do this we need to find someone who can authenticate it for us. In Athens it is Pascal, he is located near the Adventurer Alliance Master.

Once we have had our finding authenticated, we will gain reputation and some silver coins. If Pascal is not there, we just have to wait until he comes back. He will spawn later (he is only there during the daytime).

Now we can go to the Adventurer Alliance Master to submit our task. He will give us a reward and will now offer us more tasks. Now we will choose “Collecting Sea Shells”. For this task we need to sail to Athens, but we need to heal our sick sailors first and we need to replace the sailors that died during our last exploration. To do this, we should visit the tavern again. Now we can go to the docker to buy provisions and to set sail to Alexandria!

Hint: The map is helpful while sailing as well. We can open it with CRTL+M. Athens is already listed and with a right-click on Athens in the map we can set a rough course. We will however have to navigate around any possible obstacles ourselves.

Now we must go ashore in Alexandria and look for the beach next to the docker. On the beach we will search for the sea shell. When we have found it we can left-click it to put it in our inventory. We will get a message in the right side of the screen when we have discovered something. We need to take the sea shell back to Pascal to authenticate it. After he has authenticated our finding, we can submit this task to the Adventurer Alliance Master.

Important: It is necessary to have enough provision on board. If we run out, we will only sail at minimum speed and we will not gain any experience points in navigation. To solve this issue, we just have to buy provision again. It is necessary to have enough sailors on board, as well. If there are no sailors left our ship will sink.

After completing this task, we will take the next task from the Adventurer Alliance Master called Discovery of Termite. We have to search for termites.

We have to sail to the indicated coordinates and look for the sparkle.

After finding the termites, we have to get it authenticated to complete this task. After completing this task, we will accept the next task called “Seduction of Fragrance”.

Remember, we have to have a complete crew and enough provisions.

Now we go to the indicated coordinates, search for the finding and have it authenticated. Then we can submit the task to the Adventurer Alliance Master.Once we have completed this task, we can accept the next task called “The finding of Chinese Pangolins”. After completing this task we will then take the task “Discovery of Rare Animals - African ostrich”. After completing this task we will start our first major task.

The name of this task is “Test of Heroes - The First Milestone”. We can accept this task only after completing the last one from the Adventurer Alliance Master.

For this task, we have to find the four cities Athens, Konstantinopel, Beirut and Alexandria. Because we are citizens of the Ottoman Empire there is no need to locate them, because we know them already.

After exploring Olympia we should restore the used provision again and recruit new sailors, if necessary.

The next finding is the Clove. We can find it at -400.2 / -137.3 between Alexandria and Beirut.

After finding the Clove we can, if necessary, sail to Alexandria as it is near, to recruit new sailors and buy new provision.

The last finding we have to explore is the Giraffe. It’s near Tripoli in the east at near coordinates -142.7 / -122.6.

Hint: If our ship gets damaged at sea, we can repair it there. We have to bring our ship to a stop and not move it while it’s being repaired. The repair-function can be found in our action bar. To repair the ship, we choose the repair-function, open our ship-window (CRTL+Z) and click on our ship in this window.

After the finding of the Giraffe we should sail as fast as possible to Athens. There we need to talk to Pascal, and let him authenticate our findings. After that we will go and submit our task to the Adventurer Alliance Master. As reward for this task we receive a map for the eastern Mediterranean Sea. This map is in our inventory (CRTL+C). We can add it to our map function (CRTL+M) by right clicking on it.

Now that we have finished all tasks in Athens, we should sail to Alexandria. There is an Adventurer Alliance Master there as well.

We talk to him and accept the task “Prehistorical Footprints”.

After finding the animal we need to go to Artes. He is not always at his post. If he isn’t there, we have to wait for him (he is only there during the daytime). He can authenticate our findings.

After authenticating the finding we can submit the task and start the next one called “Discovery of Rare Animals Sable Antelope”. After completing this task, we will accept the task “test of will”. We have to make sure we have enough sailors and provision on our ship every time. After completing this task, we will choose a new task called “Discovery of Rare Animals Gorilla”. We solve it and submit it in Alexandria as well.

Hint: By solving some tasks we will find new cities. We can visit them any time, for example to recruit new sailors, or to buy provisions.

Now we should accept and solve the task “Historic Footprints”. After completing this task, our ships maneuverability should have reached level 10. If it hasn’t we have to do some more tasks.

As our character needs level 5 seabattle to rebuild our ship to level 2 we have to sail back to Athens. In Athens we should buy some cannons and 300 cannon balls at the shipyard boss.

After that we should go to the Ares Warrior Alliance Master and join the Ares Warrior Alliance.

We need to learn one land based fighting skill like Falchion-fighting, to get a task from the Ares Warrior Alliance Master. To learn this skill we go to the skill tutor. More information regarding land based fighting skills can be found in our warrior guide.

There is no need for us to fight on land, but we need this skill to get a task from the Ares Warrior Alliance Master. Because we need the skill seabattle, we choose a task at sea. In this case its called “Take the Letter”. We have to pick up a letter from Dysseus in Alexandria. We may encounter pirates on our way, that’s why we bought the cannons. Now we sail to Alexandria. Dysseus is near Artes in the place with the obelisk. He will give us the letter when we talk to him. When we have the letter, we should sail back as soon as possible to Athens to submit this task.

After completing the task by delivering the letter to the Ares Warrior Alliance Master in Athens, our seabattle skill should have reached level 5. Now we can sail to Genoa to rebuild our ship to level 2. Only in Genoa it is possible to upgrade the ship to level 2.

We need following items to upgrade our ship to level 2:

- 10 Pure Iron
- 10 Pig Iron
- 10 Level 2 Timber
- 10 Level 1 Timber
- 10000 silver coins

Hint: We can carry the items either on our character, or in our ship cargo hold. The shipyard boss will accept the items from either place.




To get these items you should look into our crafting guide, or buy these items from other players, which is the fastest way.




Additional to these items, our ship also needs level 10 maneuverability and our character needs level 11 navigation and level 5 seabattle. If we meet all the listed requirements, we can rebuild our ship to level 2.

fter arriving in Alexandria, the first thing we need to do is talk to Delacro and give him the letter from the captain.

Because we want to become a skillful merchant, Delacro tells us some information about the 7-Sea Merchant Guild. He suggests that we rebuild our ship into a merchant ship. With a merchant ship we are able to transport more goods. For this, we go to the shipyard boss next to Delacro.

We request his ship-rebuilding services.

In the ship rebuilding window, we choose the tab “merchant ship“, click under the picture of the ship on the merchant ship and then click on the right arrow.

After that we confirm the rebuilding with the button “rebuild”.

Now we are the owner of our first merchant ship.

We are also able to rename our ship at the shipyard boss.

Before we move on, we can take a short look at our ship. To take a look at our ship, we open the tab “ship” (CRTL+Z).

There we can see that our merchant ship can carry 4 cannons and a maximum of 30 sailors. We also see that our ship can transport a load of 505.

The structure level is very important for our merchant ship. Every 10 levels in this category the ship can be upgraded to the next ship level. The structure can be increased by trading goods from the Traders and solving tasks from the Merchant Guild Master.

With the tasks he will give us, we can collect a good start capital. We will find him in Alexandria City.

First we have to join the 7-Sea Merchant Guild by clicking on the dialog.

After this we can accept tasks. The first task we should accept is “Help Purchase“.

For this, we have to buy 12 baskets of mutton from the Trader. We find the trader in the centre of Alexandria.

We speak to the trader and click on “Trade“. Now we can see an assortment of what he offers.

One basket of mutton has a weight of 25. As we have to buy 12 baskets, we need 300 available load on our ship. Our ship has a load of 505, so this shouldn’t be a problem.

Hint: Goods are always stored in the “Goods Section“ of the ship. We don’t need to carry them with our character.

Back to the Merchant Guild Maser, we get a reward of 2,000 experience points in eloquence, 1,500 silver coins and 10 points reputation. The structure of our ship is raised to level 3 as well, whereby our ship now has a max load of 515.

We talk to the Merchant Guild Master again. This time we accept the task “Sell and Purchase“. For this we must sell 10 baskets of bananas to the trader and buy 12 baskets wheat.

With the bananas in the ship, we must go to the trader to sell them. At the same time, we can buy 12 baskets wheat. We need them for the Merchant Guild Master. As a reward we get 1,500 silver coins, 10 reputation points and 4,000 eloquence experience points.

Our next task is “Barter Goods“. Like the task before, we need to go to the trader and buy 20 baskets wheat. If we give them to Merchant Guild Master, we get a reward of 10 baskets fish and 4.000 experience points in eloquence.

We can sell the fish to the trader for some silver coins.

Before we sail out, we have to do one last task in Alexandria. We take the task “Clearance Sale“. We buy the 10 baskets of olives and receive 2,200 eloquence experience points, this time we don’t the olives to the trader.

Now we take the next task: “Purchase Olive“. Olives are not available at the trader in Alexandria, so we have to buy them in Constantinople. Because we already have 10 baskets of olives, we can give them directly to the Merchant Guild Master and now we only need to get 10 more.

Now we go to the docks and talk to the docker. We only need 10 sailors, but we also need some provisions, so our sailors don’t get hungry and sail with the minimum speed, 400 provisions would be enough. Now we click on “Sail off” and select “High Seas”.

 

short look at the world map shows us that we can find Constantinople northeast of Alexandria. If we right-click on Constantinople on the world map we will sail in the correct direction.

Back to the normal view, we must make sure that we don’t sail against an island or into a storm.

In Constantinople we search for the trader at the docks.

We buy 10 baskets olives and set sail again.

Attention: If we transport goods on our ship, we are an aim for pirates. As our merchant ship is not very well armed, it is advised to bribe the pirates. Some would now say: “I won’t give my money to pirates”, but most time it is more economical, because they will rob our goods and we will restart in the last port we sailed off.

Another option would be to ask some other friendly players with a warship, to escort us in a convoy. We can ask friendly players in the city channel.

Back in Alexandria, we deliver the olives to the Merchant Guild Master and get 25,000 silver coins, 25,000 eloquence experience points and 10 points reputation as our reward.

For the next task “Go to Athens to Trade” we buy 10 baskets of lamb which we must sell to the Trader in Athens. We also must buy 12 baskets of seafood and bring them to the Merchant Guild Master.

Before we sail off, we should buy provisions. As the last time, 400 will be enough. We will find Athens north-west of Alexandria.

In Athens we will find the trader in Athens downtown.

Our ship should now have a structure level of 7, so we can transport 12 baskets of seafood without a problem. With the goods on board we sail back to Alexandria, but watch out for pirates and storms, we don’t want to have to sail the route a second time!

As our reward we get 10,000 silver coins, 15,000 eloquence experience points and 10 points reputation.

The last task we get from the Merchant Guild Master is “Purchase Seafood“. We have to sail to Athens again and buy 12 more baskets of seafood, so we load up with enough provisions and sail off again.

We buy the seafood from the trader and sail back to Alexandria. If we arrive safe in Alexandria we get 10,000 silver coins, 15.000 eloquence experience und 10 points reputation from the Merchant Guild Master.

With this task we have now solved all Merchant tasks in Alexandria, so we can go to the next city.

 

ow we should have 50,000 silver coins, the voyage skill should be at level 6, eloquence at level 8 and the structure level of the ship at level 8, so the ship should have a load of 540.

For the next task we sail to Constantinople.

Here we look for the Merchant Guild Master in the Constantinople downtown and accept the task “Purchase Wheat“.

For this task we sail to Alexandria and buy 12 baskets of wheat from the Trader.

Back in Constantinople we get a reward of 15,000 silver coins, 15,000 eloquence experience points and 3 reputation points. The next task we accept is “Go to Venice to Trade“. We buy 10 baskets of fish, which we have to sell in Venice, and then we must buy 12 baskets of oranges to take back to Constantinople.

Because we haven’t discovered Venice yet, we must sail westward.

When we discover Venice, we go ashore and search for the trader at the Venice port. We sell the fish and buy 12 baskets of oranges.

As our reward we get 15,000 silver coins, 15,000 eloquence experience points and 10 reputation points in Constantinople.

Because we want to rebuild our ship to level 2, we skip the other tasks in this city and sail off to Beirut. We can solve the other task at another time.

 

e will solve the tasks in Beirut first, which will upgrade the structure of our ship as a reward. Because we also need some experience points in voyage, it is wise to do the tasks first, where we have to sail on the high sea.

The Merchant Guild Master in Beirut can be found in Beirut downtown.

First we accept the task “Buy Fish“. We should by the 12 baskets of fish from the Trader in Constantinople. As our reward we get 15,000 silver coins, 15.000 eloquence experience and 10 reputation points.

The next task is “Buy Bananas“. We can buy the fruit in Athens. For completing this task we get 15,000 silver coins, 15.000 eloquence experience points and 10 reputation points as our reward.

Now we travel to the Merchant Guild Master in Athens and accept the task “Merchant Prince’s Whole Lamb Feast“.

When we deliver the 20 baskets of Mutton from Alexandria, we get 40,000 silver coins, 40,000 eloquence experience points and 10 reputation points as our reward.         
                 
After this, we deliver 12 baskets of oranges from Venice for the task “Purchase Oranges“ and get 30,000 silver coins, 30,000 eloquence experience points and 10 reputation points.

 

ow we should have about 170,000 silver coins, the structure of the ship should be at level 10 and our voyage skill at level 11. If the voyage skill is not high enough we will buy some goods (for example Mutton) from the Trader in Alexandria and deliver them to Athens where we can sell it at a higher price. Through sailing we raise the voyage skill and as a bonus the eloquence skill and the structure of the ship.

With the voyage skill at level 11 and the structure of the ship at level 10, we can rebuild our ship to level 2. We only need the following items to rebuild our ship to level 2:

10x Level 1 Timber

10x Pig Iron

10x Level 2 Timber

10x Pure Iron

10,000 silver coins

We have two possibilities to get the resources for the rebuild. On the one hand we can mine and log it ourselves or we can we can buy them from other players. For this we can take a look in Athens, Alexandria and in Genoa.

Genoa is important for the rebuild, because only there we can build a level 2 ship. We can find Genoa west of Venice, on the other side of the Italian boot.

When we got all of the resources we will sail off to Genoa as soon as possible.

There we go to the shipyard boss and rebuild our ship to level 2.

Our ship now should have a load of 790, can carry 2 more cannons and can now hold up to 35 sailors.

With our new ship, we should have a good start into the world of Bounty Bay Online. Now we can sail back to Constantinople, Beirut or Alexandria and finish the rest of the merchant tasks, or visit one of the other wonderful cities and meet the merchant guild masters there.

Hint: We can look in player booths and buy a figure-head. With one of these we can raise our load capacity of the ship, especially the ones with “water” in the name.

Also visiting the Skill Tutor is recommended. There we can learn, for example for eloquence, how to buy higher level goods.

So, all men on board, raise the sails and sail off. There is a lot of work for us and our proud merchant ship!

fter arriving in Athens, the first thing we need to do is talk to Langer and give him the letter from the captain.

Because we want to become a skillful merchant, Langer tells us some information about the 7-Sea Merchant Guild. He suggests that we rebuild our ship into a merchant ship. With a merchant ship we are able to transport more goods.

For this, we go to the shipyard boss just northwest of our position.

We request his ship-rebuilding services.

In the ship rebuilding window, we choose the tab “merchant ship“, click under the picture of the ship on the merchant ship and then click on the right arrow.

After that we confirm the rebuilding with the ”rebuild” button.

Now we are the proud owner of our first merchant ship.

We are also able to rename our ship at the shipyard boss.

Before we move on, we can take a short look at our ship. To look at our ship we open the “ship” tab (CRTL+Z).

There we can see that our merchant ship can carry 4 cannons and a maximum of 30 sailors. We also see that our ship can transport a load of 505.

The structure level is very important for our merchant ship. For every 10 levels in this category the ship can be upgraded to the next ship level. The structure can be increased by trading goods from the Trader and solving tasks from the Merchant Guild Master.

With the tasks he will give us, we can collect a good start capital. We will find him in Athens City.

First we have to join the 7-Sea Merchant Guild by clicking on the dialog.

After this we can accept tasks. The first task we should accept is “Barter Goods“.

For this, we have to buy 12 baskets of Bananas from the Trader. We find the trader in the northeast of Athens.

We speak to the trader and click on “Trade“. Now we can see everything he has to offer.

One basket banana has a weight of 25. As we have to buy 12 baskets, we need 300 available load on our ship. Our ship has a load of 505, so this shouldn’t be a problem.

Hint: Goods are always stored in the “Goods Section“ of the ship, so we don’t need to carry them on our character.

When we go back to the Merchant Guild Master, we get 10 baskets of Dates, 3,500 experience points in eloquence and the structure of our ship is raised to level 4 as our reward. Now our ship can carry a max load of 520.

With the dates, we head back to the trader where we get some money for them. We talk to the Merchant Guild Master again and ask for another task.

This time we accept the task “Sell and Purchase“. For this we must sell 10 baskets wheat to the trader and buy 12 baskets seafood.

With the wheat stored in the ship, we must go to the trader to sell them. At the same time, we need to buy 12 baskets of seafood. We need them for the Merchant Guild Master. As reward we get 1,200 silver coins, 10 reputation points and 3,000 eloquence experience points.

Our next task is “Help Purchase“. Like the task before, we need to go to the trader and buy 20 baskets of seafood. When we give these baskets to the Merchant Guild Master, we receive 4,000 eloquence experience points and 10 reputation points as our reward.

Before we sail out, we have to do one last task in Athens. We take the task “Purchase Bananas“. We buy 20 baskets of bananas and get 70 silver for every basket, 3,000 eloquence experience points and 10 reputation points.

ow we take the next task: “Purchase Tomatoes“. Tomatoes are not available at the trader in Athens, so we have to buy them in Beirut

In Beirut, we go to the docks and talk to the docker. We only need 10 sailors, but we also need some provisions so our sailors don’t get hungry and sail at the minimum speed. 400 provisions would be enough. Now we click on “Sail off” and select “High Seas”.

A short look at the world map shows us, that we can find Beirut southeast of Athens. We only need to right-click on Beirut on the world map and we will start to sail in the correct direction.

Back to the normal view, we need to make sure that we don’t sail against an island or into a storm.

In Beirut we can find the trader in the city.

We buy 12 baskets of Tomatoes and set sail again.

Attention: If we transport goods on our ship, we are a target for pirates. As our merchant ship is not very well armed, it is advised to bribe the pirates. Some would say: “I won’t give my money to pirates”, but most of the time it is more economical because they will rob our goods and we will restart in the last port we sailed off from.

We can also ask some other friendly players with a warship, to escort us in a convoy. We can ask other friendly players in the city channel.

Back in Athens, we deliver the tomatoes to the Merchant Guild Master and get 20,000 silver coins, 20,000 eloquence experience points and 10 points reputation.

For the next task we must deliver 12 baskets of oranges from Venice for the task “Purchase Oranges“. Before we sail off, we should buy provisions. Just like the last time, 400 will be enough. Because we haven’t discovered Venice yet, we must sail northwest.

When we discover Venice, we go ashore and search for the trader at Venice port, where we can buy the oranges.

Our ship should now have a structure level of 6, so we can transport 12 baskets of oranges without a problem. With the goods on board we sail back to Athens, but watch out for danger!

As our reward we get 30,000 silver coins, 30,000 eloquence experience points and 10 points reputation.

The last task we get from Merchant Guild Master is “Merchant Prince’s Whole Lamb Feast“. We have to buy 20 baskets of Mutton from Alexandria, so we load enough provisions and sail off again.

We will find the trader in Alexandria City.

Here we buy 20 baskets of Mutton and sail back to Athens.

When we deliver the 20 baskets of Mutton, we get 40,000 silver coins, 40,000 eloquence experience points and 10 reputation points as reward.

Now we have solved all Merchant tasks in Athens, so we can go to the next city.

Now we should have 90,000 silver coins, level 8 in voyage and eloquence skill and the structure level of the ship should be level 8, now the ship has a max load of 540.

For the next task we sail to Constantinople.

We need to find the Merchant Guild Master in the Constantinople downtown and accept the task “Purchase Wheat“.

For this task we sail to Alexandria and buy 12 baskets of wheat from the Trader.

When we get back to Constantinople we get a reward of 15,000 silver coins, 15.000 eloquence experience points and 3 reputation points. The next task we accept is “Go to Venice to Trade“. We buy 10 baskets of fish, which we have to sell in Venice, and then we must buy 12 baskets of oranges to take back to Constantinople.

Back in Constantinople, we get 15,000 silver coins, 15,000 eloquence experience points and 10 reputation points as our reward.

Because we want to rebuild our ship to level 2, we skip the other tasks in this city and sail off to Beirut. We can solve the other task at another time.

e will solve the tasks in Beirut first which will raise the structure of the ship as our reward. Because we also need some experience points in voyage, it is wise to first do the tasks, where we have to set sail on the high sea.

The Merchant Guild Master in Beirut can be found in Beirut downtown.

First we accept the task “Buy Fish“. We should buy the 12 baskets of fish from the Trader in Constantinople. As our reward we get 15,000 silver coins, 15,000 eloquence experience points and 10 reputation points.

The next task is “Buy Bananas“. We can buy the fruit in Athens. For this we get 15,000 silver coins, 15,000 eloquence experience points and 10 reputation points as our reward.

Now we travel to the Merchant Guild Master in Alexandria and accept the task “Purchase Olive“.

Back in Alexandria, we deliver the olives to the Merchant Guild Master and get 25,000 silver coins, 25,000 eloquence experience points and 10 points reputation as our reward.

ow we should have about 170,000 silver coins, the structure of the ship should be at level 10 and our voyage skill at level 11. If the voyage skill is not high enough we will buy some goods (for example Mutton) from the Trader in Alexandria and deliver them to Athens where we can sell it at a higher price. Through sailing we raise the voyage skill and as a bonus the eloquence skill and the structure of the ship.

With the voyage skill at level 11 and the structure of the ship at level 10, we can rebuild our ship to level 2. We only need the following items to rebuild our ship to level 2:

10x Level 1 Timber

10x Pig Iron

10x Level 2 Timber

10x Pure Iron

10,000 silver coins

We have two possibilities to get the resources for the rebuild. On the one hand we can mine and log it ourselves or we can we can buy them from other players. For this we can take a look in Athens, Alexandria and in Genoa.

Genoa is important for the rebuild, because only there we can build a level 2 ship. We can find Genoa west of Venice, on the other side of the Italian boot.

When we got all of the resources we will sail off to Genoa as soon as possible.

There we go to the shipyard boss and rebuild our ship to level 2.

Our ship now should have a load of 790, can carry 2 more cannons and can now hold up to 35 sailors.

With our new ship, we should have a good start into the world of Bounty Bay Online. Now we can sail back to Constantinople, Beirut or Alexandria and finish the rest of the merchant tasks, or visit one of the other wonderful cities and meet the merchant guild masters there.

Hint: We can look in player booths and buy a figure-head.
