Aureus Keos, The Lost Centurion
A skilled shipwright in the ranks of the Bronze Legion, now abandoned after an eventful fate during his post in Fort Castrum that left him there to starve alone!
Aureus Keos is a quartermaster that you are able to obtain after finishing the storyline in the Bronze Sea who is also a skilled shipwright, being trained by the best shipwright in the Bronze Legion, now lost and abandoned in Fort Castrum after an eventful fate.
The player meets somewhere in Fort Castrum, the shipwright seems to be starving after not eating anything for the past 3 months, once you go up close and talk to Aureus and initiate the dialogue.
Aureus talks about how he was abandoned and now lost in this Fort, knowing nothing where his comrade had gone to, he presumes them to be dead, he asks the players if they could cook him a feast.
[ QUEST 1 - FEED THE CENTURION ]
The player was asked by the Centurion to cook him a bunch of meal that would reach around 2000 hunger in total, no specific ingredients but he would have a different dialogue if you cooked him spaghetti.
[ It’s his favorite dish ]
This quest rewards you with 6543 EXP and 0 GALLEON
After finishing the quest, Aureus will introduce himself to the player and ask the player if they could retrieve him a Bronze Hammer and his trusty musket.
[ QUEST 2 - RETRIEVE AUREUS ITEMS ]
The player is tasked to find and retrieve Aureus equipment inside of Fort Castrum, there will be a marker that will show where it is. Once they retrieve Aureus items and talk to him, the screen will fade black and now he will have a bronze hammer on his right hand and a musket on his back.
This quest rewards you with 7543 EXP and 0 GALLEON
After finishing the quest, he asks if the player if they can retrieve him some sealed chests to see if Aureus still can crack em open like he used to.
[ QUEST 3 - RETURN 5 SEALED CHESTS ]
Like the quest said, it’s a simple retrieve and return quest, the sealed chests can be from plundering ships, solving treasure charts, or looting from a underwater structure.
This quest rewards you with 8654 EXP and 251 GALLEONS (Alongside the sealed chests loots)
After finishing all of his quests, he asks the player if they are in need of a shipwright in which he could fill in the role, once the player accepts him, the screen fades to black and the player will receive a notification that he’s now in the Shipyard Ui, ready to be put on the ship.
Once you equip him in the slots, he will be sitting on a pile of sealed chests.
One of the perk of having Aureus is that he will passively heal the ship if it stays idle for more than 30 seconds, he will force the crewmates/deckhand to also fix the ship too.
Other than that, you can talk to him and ask how it was being in the Bronze Legion and maybe he could open up a bit to who was his mentor back in the Bronze Legion and how he was known as one of the best shipwright among his peers.
That’s it from me, goodbye!
